A U-shaped object,resembling a silvery dome (穹顶), is now under inspection by Russian experts, after being secretly removed under cover of night from the possession of villagers who found it.

After discovering it on Sunday, locals from the village of Otradnesnky had managed to drag the “UFO fragment” from the thick forest where it had fallen. They loaded it onto a truck and took it through the snow to their village, where local inspectors then examined it before reporting Moscow authorities.

In an official statement, Sergey Bobrov, who found the object, agreed to keep it safe. But following their secret removal of the 200-kilogram metal fragment (碎片), police have it under close guard on orders from unnamed authorities.

The object has not had its origin confirmed yet. However, it does not come from a rocket or missile or be in any way associated with earth space technology, it has been announced. “The object found is not related to space technology. A final conclusion can be made after a detailed study of the object by experts,” said Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. Experts have also examined the object to determine whether it is dangerous. “We measured the radiation level near and inside the object. We found no radiation here,” said Yuri Bornyakov, who heads the rescue service department of the Kuybyshevsky district in the Novosibirsk region. Part of the fragment is made of ultra-strong titanium (钛), said Valery Vasiliev, the head of the Kuybyshevsky Department for Civil Defence and Emergency Situations.

A guess that it had come from a failed Kazakhstan rocket or satellite launch was also denied. “You can see inside it. All is open. It’s empty. No danger here. We were asked to take and store it. We brought it here. And now we are going to wait until they come to take it if they need it," said local police spokesman Sergei Sulein.

While the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether. Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.

Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.

Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks don’t even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!

Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!

But despite its growing popularity, some people don’t like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system.

Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—With increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”.

1.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?

A. Many banks in Sweden don’t have ATMs.

B. You don’t have to buy tickets when riding buses.

C. People don’t give the homeless money but food.

D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.

2.According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?

A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.

B. The younger generation is opposed to the measures.

C. Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.

D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.

3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. An Advanced Country –Sweden

B. A Controversial Government Policy

C. Sweden to Influence the World’s Cash Payment

D. Sweden to Become the World’s First Cashless Society

4.Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?

A. Education.

B. Economy.

C. Travel.

D. Insurance.
