A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets,due in large part to their convenience and ease of use.

E-wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology.With major players like Alipay,WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular,it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon.

CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced 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 paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant.All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete.

Unlike the situations in the US and other countries,"China doesn't have a really money-making credit card system,so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments."Gu Yu,co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife,told CNN.He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments."No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen.electronic receipts,the ease of keeping rack of spending-and of course,no wallet taking up space."he said.

However,if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend a lot of things will have to change over the coming years.Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets.Linda Barrabee,research director for NPD Connected Intelligence, said in a statement."In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions and commerce,wireless carriers,credit card companies,and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient,simple,and secure for consumers."

C. You can buy anything you want using mobile payments in Beijing.

D. Mobile payments are popular in large cities in China like Beijing

3.Which of the following statement is NOT rue according to the passage?

A. There will be no more cash or credit card payments in the near future.

B. Digital-wallets will save up much space in your bag when you go out.

C. How people consider digital wallets will influence the popularity of digital wallet

D. The Chinese credit card system has partly caused the popularity of digital wallets

4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A. E-wallets is much safer and more convenient than traditional payments.

1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 【解析】文章介绍了电子钱包在中国越来越受欢迎,以及日趋流行的原因和手机支付的各种优势。 1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets,due in large part to their convenience and ease of use. ” 越来越多的人正在接受数字钱包或电子钱包,在很大程度上是由于其“方便性和易用性(handy)”。故选C 2.D 推理判断题。第二段讲述美国有线电视新闻网记者Paul Ripley在北京体验了不带实物钱包的一天。“在中国最大的城市,你可以口袋不带现金和信用卡只要你有智能手机你就能生存。” 记者Paul Ripley的例子表明了在中国像北京这样的大城市,电子支付可以买你许多想买的东西(说明很流行的(popular)),但不是任何东西都能买。记者只在北京生活了一天,不是去了每个地方。由此可判断ABC是错误的。A符合。 3.A 推理判断。第三段中新支付应用程序的创始人顾玉说移动支付的优势是不用担心硬币或账单丢失或收据被偷、不用带信用卡,这当然轻松,也没有钱包占用空间。从中可推断出:手机出支可节约空间(save much space)B项是正确的。第四段开头说如果我们想使电子钱包主流趋势,很多事情会在未来的几年里的变化,需要改变的最重要的事情是这也许人们怎么看待e-wallets,可推断出C项正确。第三段意思:不像在美国和其他国家的情况下,“中国没有一个真正赚钱的信用卡系统,所以中国人跳过信用卡直奔移动支付”。说明中国的信用卡系统在一定程度上导致了数字钱包的普及,故D项是正确的。本文中没有涉及将来不会有更多的现金或信用卡支付了。故选A项。 4.B 主旨大意。最后一段句意:如果我们想使电子钱包主流趋势,在未来的几年里会很多事情会变化。也许是最需要改变的事情是人怎么看待e-wallets。为了促进去消费交易和商务,无线运营商、信用卡公司、电子商务企业需要确保过程方便、简单、安全的消费者。引句意可知电子钱包成为主流,还要很长的时间,B项符合。故选B。

Whats your dream vacation?Watching wildlife in Kenya?Boating down the Amazon?Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world.So we visit travel agents,compare packages and prices, and pay our money.

We know what our vacation costs us.But do we know what it might cost someone else?It's true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income.Unfortunately,though.tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them

It might cost their homes and lands.In Myanmar.5.200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas(佛塔)in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.

Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood(生计)and dignity(尊严).Local workers often find only jobs with slim salaries in the tourist industry.And most of the profits(利润)do not help the local economy. Instead,profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries,When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven(驱赶)from their lands,some moved to city slums.Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing(摆姿势)for photos.

Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago.But now some non-government organizations,tour operators and local governments are working together to begin correcting them.Tourists,too,are putting on the pressure.

The result is responsible tourism,or ethical tourism.Ethical tourism has people at its heart.New international agreements and codes of conduct(行为准则)can help protect the people's lands homes,economies and cultures.The beginnings are small,though,and the problems are complex.

But take heart.The good news is that everyone,including us,can play a part to help the local people in the places we visit Tour operators and companies can help by making sure that local people work in good conditions and earn reasonable wages.

They can make it a point to use only locally owned hotel restaurants and guide services.They can share profits fairly to help the local economy And they can involve the local people in planning and managing tourism.

What can tourists do?First,we can ask tour companies to provide information about the conditions of local citizens.We can then make our choices and tell them why.And while we're abroad,we can:

Buy local foods and products,not imported ones.

Pay a fair price for goods and services and not bargain for the cheapest price.

Avoid flaunting wealth.

Ask before talking photographs of people.They are not just part of the landscape!

Let's enjoy our vacation and make sure others do,too.

Profi Cheese Slicer

Uses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections.

I may own every cheese slicer ever made.I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.

This cheese slicer is great for both tasks.It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires.A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper.Good news,the wire is replaceable,and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it.Maybe best to use on softer cheeses.Lessons learned.But, highly recommended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses.

Ash Bucket(桶子)

Bucket with lid keeps your fireplace(壁炉)clear of ashes.

I purchased this ash bucket recommended by my friend and have found it invaluable.Previously I had an old bucket that got left outside and usually filled up with rain and became a mess to clean.This ash bucket has a raised bottom and thermal insulation(隔热层)to prevent any accidental hot coals in your ash to damage your floor or cause a fire.You can store this bucket indoors since the lid is nice and tight.
