We all need cash(现金) in order to live our lives. However, something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is a kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country's money. If something is digital, it only exists(存在) on a computer. So “digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.
Lots of people have digital currency accounts(账户). They use a credit card(信用卡) to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency?” This is a fair question, but there's a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example, if you're in China and you want to buy something in Canada, then you'll have to pay with digital currency.
Many people still don't trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can't hold their money in their hand, then it doesn't seem real. These people don't feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don't really feel safe. Another problem is security(安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.
You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won't have a choice. You'll have to use digital currency.
26.What does Para. 1 mainly tell us? ( )
A.What digital currency is. B.How to use digital currency.
C.Why we all need cash to live. D.Where to find digital currency.
27.What is the “good answer” to the question in Para. 2? ( )

B.You cannot buy anything in China with real money.
C.You cannot buy anything in Canada without digital currency.
D.You can use both real money and digital currency to shop online.

A.Digital currency is not safe enough.
B.Many people still don't trust digital currency.
C.Some people can't hold their money in their hand.

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 30. It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal, or a map. 31. But he drives aimlessly(漫无目的地) around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be?
32. They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set and they aren't difficult to reach. 33. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. 34. They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way, you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.
A.Written goals can be reviewed usually.
