1.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".

9.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?D
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.
10.According to the passage,which information is RIGHT?C
A.Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.
B.The younger generation is opposed to the measures.

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

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

6.When choosing the perfect house,many people choose high ceilings and a sense of space,despite high price and the higher cost of heating expense in the winter.Now a new study suggests that tall rooms excite the brain and encourage people to explore space,based on previous research that high ceilings are linked to a sense of freedom.A psychologist thinks that the combination of a room that promotes free thinking and is stimulating to the senses,explains why people choose that kind of homes.
Dr.Oshin Vartanian of the University of Toronto-Scarborough,told Fast Design:"On the one hand,rooms with high ceilings improve exploration."An international study,led by Dr.Vartanian scanned the brains of volunteers while they looked at images of 200 rooms,half of which had high ceilings.Participants indicated whether each image was beautiful or not while in the MRI scanner and the experts found that people were more likely to find spaces with high ceilings attractive,than those with low ceilings.This suggests that high ceilings capture people's attention and improve the senses,encouraging people to explore the space they are in.But because the results didn't show any difference in brain regions linked to pleasure or emotion,the study,published in journal of environmental psychology,hints that high ceilings don't instantly put people in a good mood.
In 2007,another study,published in Journal of Consumer Research,revealed that the height of ceilings affects how people think.Marketing experts Joan Meyers-Levy and Rui Zhu modified the height of ceilings in rooms to study how participants responded.They discovered that high ceilings seem to cause people to think more freely,encouraging creativity and abstraction,while lower ceilings promoted confined thinking.For example,one experiment placed volunteers in a room with a high 3-meter ceiling,while asking them to solve anagrams.They were able to complete work puzzles faster than those in a room with a lower ceiling.
Dr.Vartanian said,"Knowing that people's preference for rooms with higher ceilings might be driven by the ability of those spaces to promote visuospatial exploration helps partly explain why people opt to live in such spaces."
33.What is the bes t title of the passage?A
A.Why do we love high ceilings?
B.What caused high house price?
C.How do we feel in the winter?
D.When will people feel excited?
34.From the passage,we can know high ceilings make peopleB.
A.explore the cost        
B.think more freely
C.see more colors          
D.get more homes
35.Dr.Vartanian carried out his study byB.
A.promoting visuospatial exploration
B.comparing volunteers'scanning pictures of brains
C.looking at images of 200 rooms
D.capturing attention and stimulating the senses.
