How do you pay for things in a shop? Perhaps you like the touchable reliability of hard cash? Maybe the financial flexibility of a credit card suits you better? Or perhaps you prefer the simple convenience of a smartphone?

Whatever you use today, experts believe all these methods could soon become outdated. Instead, we will use our bodies: our eyes, our fingerprints, even our mere presence in the store. In fact it's happening already. Amazon are trialing stores which have no checkouts, where technology tracks the items you've taken from the shelves and deducts（扣除） the total from your account when you leave the shop.

French supermarket Monoprix takes a different path: you choose your groceries and leave them with a human cashier. You then leave the shop while the cashier adds up your bill, charges your account, and organizes delivery to your home.

Amir, CEO of Barclaycard predicts that such new developments mean the end of the plastic credit card. Instead, wearable items such as rings, necklaces and key chains will carry chips（芯片） that allow shoppers to shop, going between the web, an app or in store.

And while all the above payment methods are supported by accounts held in traditional currencies, let's not forget the rise of alternatives such as Litecoin. Virtual（虚拟） currencies can rise in value very quickly. One such possibility is explored in the movie In Time. It imagines a futuristic society in which the currency is time itself, where people trade the amount of time they have left to live.

Or perhaps we'd do better to wind back the clock to the simpler financial world of the equal exchange economy. While the term recalls images of bags of grain and herds of sheep being exchanged in ancient times, there are signs that are making a comeback in today's world of modern technology. Maybe the only thing we know for certain is that money will keep updating.

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Payment is done by the cashiers at Amazon.

B. All the methods of payment have become outdated.

C. Shopping at Monoprix is convenient for customers.

D. Customers can leave their credit cards at Monoprix.

2.What might replace the credit cards in the future according to Amir?

A. Smartphones. B. Wearable items.

C. Virtual currencies. D. Fingerprints.

3.What is used as a currency in the movie In Time?

A. Litecoin. B. Human life.

C. Time. D. Bags of grain.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. The Rise of Virtual Currencies. B. The History of Money.

C. The Ending if Credit Cards. D. The Changing Nature of Money.

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

1.What can be inferred about the author as a child?

A. He never watched TV. B. He read what he had to.

C. He found reading unbelievable. D. He considered reading part of his life.

2.The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means "_______".

A. an idea B. a sound quality

C. a way of writing D. a world to write about

3.What effect does reading have on the author?

A. It helps him to realize his dream.

B. It opens up a wider world for him.

C. It makes his college life more interesting.

D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

4.. Which of the following can be the best title of this text?

A. What do I read? B. How do I read?

C. Why do I read? D. When do I read?

Frederick Callison has been posting up outside of a Sacramento Smart & Final grocery store for the past two years and his method of looking for help has finally paid off.

Michael Marteen noticed Callison while shopping with his family on Feb. 24. Used to seeing homeless people ask for food and money, Marteen found it refreshing to see someone making an effort to find work in such difficult situations.

When Marteen approached him, he noticed Callison was sitting on a sleeping bag with several resumes(简历)neatly laid out, along with a sign that read“need work and food.”

“When I asked if I could see his resume, he stood right up to hand one to me and then started telling me all about his experience as if it were an interview,”Marteen told TODAY. “I’ve been in situations where I had nothing and had to try extremely hard to get work, and there he was doing that, so I have a lot of respect for him.”

Marteen bought him a bottle of water and some ravioli（馄饨）and then took a picture of his resume to post on Facebook, not knowing if anything would come of it.

Sure enough, someone came across his post and offered Callison a job as a cook at a downtown restaurant called Pizza Rocks.

“He was excited about landing a job and very grateful for the opportunity,” Marteen said. “He was up the night before studying the menu for hours.”

The restaurant gave him clothes to wear and a friend is providing Callison with a place to stay until he can get back on his feet.

“It’s easy to look at someone and not see anything but a homeless man, but after talking to him I realized he’s so much more than that,” Marteen said. “He’s a well spoken, cool and friendly guy who knows what he wants and is going after it.”

A record 6.15 million trips were made by Chinese mainland tourists to overseas destinations during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, which ended on Thursday, according to the China National Tourism Administration. That is an increase of 7 percent compared with last year’s Spring Festival. About 374,000 trips were organized by travel agencies, a 2.5 percent increase.

The administration also reported growth from individual and high-end (高端的) travelers and said that in addition to top and coastal cities, inland cities—such as those in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region—became important source markets. With many Chinese now traveling abroad for Spring Festival, their choice of destinations has expanded along with their growing interest in foreign cultures and services.

“Chinese tourists are increasingly willing to experience local culture and services, including staying in private homes, appreciating plants and watching monkeys in hot springs,” Li Xuejing, the agency’s marketing manager, said.

A Chinese tourist surnamed Guo, who was vacationing on an island in the Philippines, said: UI now pay more attention to relaxation and enjoyment during the holidays instead of shopping or choosing gifts for relatives.”

Another choice is Britain. Though the devaluation (货币贬值) of the pound is a factor, Britain’s rich history and famous education tradition have caught the eye of Chinese.

1.How many trips were made to foreign countries during the Golden Week of this Spring Festival holiday?

A. 6,150,000. B. 2,500,000.

C. 7,000,000. D. 374,000.

2.What can we learn about some inland cities in Guangxi?

A. They’re reported to have become important attractions.

B. They’re famous for all kinds of plants and monkeys.

C. They have the best hot spring in the world.

D. They belong to coastal source markets.

3.What would Miss Guo do on her vacation according to the text?

A. Go shopping for gifts.

B. Study foreign cultures.

C. Relax and enjoy herself.

D. Chat with her relatives.

4.Where does the text probably come from?

A. A guide book. B. A newspaper.

C. A scientific magazine. D. An advertisement.

Chopsticks

Right now, millions of people are digging into their food with two sticks that have school the test of time as a utensil(烹调用具)for humans. But what’s so special about them? 1.Personally, I think they teach us the importance of:

2.

If you’re ever tried using them, you know that you can’t get what you want by just randomly stabbing at the plate. To be able to get what you want, you have to aim for it. There’s no way you can pick up everything in one go. Know what you want, and just do it. 3.

Practice

Using chopsticks doesn’t come naturally. You can’t learn to use them by just reading about them. 4.It is the same with the real life. You can read as much as you like about all the things you want to do, but it will just amount to dreams and theory if you don’t try actually doing it.

Slowing Down

5.Why? Because it allows your stomach to tell your brain you’re full before you overeat. Eating with chopsticks is a slower process, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes we need to slow down and take things one step at a time, so that we have time to think and realize that we don’t have to keep charging full speed through life.

A. Aim

B. Motivation

C. What can we learn from them?

D. You have to practice using them

E. Those who eat too fast were less successful at losing weight

F. Sometimes, a little bit of focus makes the difference between failure and success

G. A common health tip is to try to eat with chopsticks when you can
