Digital wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology. With major players like Alipay, WecChat and Apple Pay becoming popular, it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.
A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets, due in large part to their convenience and ease of use , “There’s no question 2016 will be an important year as digital wallets gain more acceptance.”, Leslie MeNamara, managing director of partner management, Citi Retail Services, noted.
Last month, CNN reporter Will Ripley experience a day in Beijing without his wallet. “In China’s largest cities, you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards- as long as you’ve got your smartphone,” he wrote. “A huge number of businesses in Beijing accept mobile payments.”
He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the –wall restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password and the transaction (交易) was completed. Then he also used his phone to pay for movies tickets, buy takeout food, order goods for delivery.
In fact, he was not the only one to enjoy this convenience. His assistant Shen Lu also paid her household water bill with her mobile phone. In seconds, she was able to transfer funds( 存款) from one of several linked accounts.
Unlike the situations in the US and other countries, “China doesn’t have a really money-making credit card system”. Gu Yu, co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife, told CNN. “So Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments.”
Gu also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments. “No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen, electronic receipts, the ease of keeping track of spending and of course, no wallet taking up space.” he said
24. What is the article mainly about?
A. How to survive with no cash or credit cards at hand in China.
B. Differences between mobile payments and traditional cash payments.
C. The increasing popularity of digital wallets in China and the reasons behind it.
D. Differences in payments between America and China.
25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the article?
A. To use Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay is much more convenient than cash for payments.
B. By scanning a QR code, the transaction is done.
C. You will receive electronic receipts if you use a mobile payment app.
D. The Chinese credit card has a very perfect system.
26. The passage is written to _____
A. encourage the readers to use digital wallets.
B. introduce mobile payment

Ryan joined the Navy when he was 20 years old, and was sent to Iraq soon. He served on a team that disarmed roadside bombs, and when those bombs exploded, they would rush to the scene to clear any remaining explosives. In recognition of this veteran’s(老兵)incredible valour, Ryan was awarded a Bronze Star and an Army Commendation Medal.
But when Ryan returned home after the war, the misery stayed with him. He had constant splitting headaches, nightmares and panic attacks, and his ears just wouldn’t stop ringing. One night, he finally hit rock bottom and decided to take his own life.
Ryan’s experience isn’t unique, roughly one in five adults—more than 40 million Americans—suffer from a mental health condition like depression or sorrow. These conditions affect people of every age and every background.
Sadly, too often, the stigma (污名) around mental health stops people who need help from seeking it. But that simply doesn’t make any sense. We don’t consider taking medicine for a cold something to be ashamed of. Similarly, we shouldn’t treat mental health conditions any differently. Instead, we should make it clear that getting help isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a sign of strength.
That’s why, last year, we worked with an organization called Give an Hour to launch the Campaign to Change Direction to raise awareness about mental health. As part of this effort, we released a list of Five Signs to help people recognize when someone needs help. Signs like agitation, withdrawal, hopelessness, a decline in personal care and a change in personality can be indications that someone is dealing with a mental-health issue.
That brings me back to Ryan. Thankfully, Ryan didn’t end his life that night. Instead, he gathered the courage to ask me for help. Now he has become a successful merchant.
We need to have the courage to reach out and get help ourselves when we need it. And we also need to recognize that our mental health is just as important as our physical health.
28. The underlined word “valour” in the first paragraph is the closest in meaning to “__________”.
A. changeable personality B. great bravery
C. medical condition D. extreme indifference
29. How did Ryan feel before seeking help?
A. Desperate B. Thrilled C. Pleasant D. Unique
30. What do we learn about the people with mental health conditions?
A. They are anxious to ask for advice. B. They are ashamed to take medicine.
C. They are unwilling to seek assistance. D. They are relieved to recognize signs.
31. From the passage the author is probably a __________.
A. surgeon B. veteran C. merchant D. psychologist
D
China launched the Shenzhou XI manned spacecraft on October 17 to transport two astronauts to the Tiangong II space laboratory.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. __36__
One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. __37__ By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. __38__ Others take a more active approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
__39__ Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight family laziness, set an example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. __40__ It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.
B. Generally, students with poor grades are more lazy than stupid.
C. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.
D. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.
E. It seems to them that laziness is unconquerable.
F. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
G. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.

The first English Festival of our school was held last week, which left a deep impression on all of the students.
The festival began at 4:00pm, and present at the hall were all the teachers and students as well as some honored guests. In the first place, our headmaster declared the festival open, followed by an inspiring speech delivered by a guest, congratulating us on opening the ceremony and wishing the event a great success. Then came the most exciting part. A number of students from different classes take turns to give us
brilliant performances, like English songs and short plays, all of which provided a feast for the ears of any English lover. Finally, the festival that lasted two hours ended with our applause and excitement.
In my opinion, the English Festival not only provides a good opportunity for the students to communicate in English, but also enriches our life in a creative way.
