from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others’ presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to

who’ve already built up much internship（实习）experience while still attending university,as their majors offer a co-operative program.Co-op programs,a feature（特色）of Canadian university programs,allow academic studies to be combined with work experience.During school years,students get to network withemployers,gain internship experience in relevant fields,and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities,like the University of Waterloo,Wilfrid Laurier University and York University.These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors.Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co-op program.“It’s easy to understand,”said a senior education counselor.He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations.Moreover,the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely.The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months,or four to six months for graduate stu dents.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immi gration,”added the counselor.“That’s because the policies of many pro vinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”29.What's the main characteristic of co-op programs?A.They offer a variety of jobs in different fields.B.They make academic credits easier to gain.C.Employers work with students on their studies.D.Students get work experience while at

majors.panies welcome foreign students.31.Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A.Business.cation.C.Lifestyle.D.Culture.DIt’s cold and dark outside,and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes,it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post,an outdoor run in winter,as opposed to one on a treadmill （跑步机）,burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate（调节）its core temperature.Furthermore,research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures-and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly,cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks,stroke,lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog.Thecombination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气）,and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.32.How does cold weather benefit runners,compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B.They can take in more calories.C.Their hearts can function harder.D.Their body temperature can get lower.33.How does summer affect runners?A.It builds up their energy quickly.B.It makes runners tired easily.C.It lessens runners’ stress.D.It causes heart attack.34.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A.Stop driving cars.B.Do more exercise.C.Avoid outdoor exercise.D.Run late in the morning.35.What can be the best title of the text?A.Refresh with a Winter RunB.Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC.Go to Run in a ParkD.Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to Make Sure You Enjoy Y our TripA trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search

Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June, the service has recently been introduced in the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs（企业家）.Millions of tons of food are thrown in the trash every year, with restaurants accounting for a large part, so eco-entrepreneurs Chris Wilson and Jamie Crummie came up with the good idea to stop food waste. Using Too Good to Go not only helps restaurants save expense, but gives people in need the chance to order fancy dishes at low prices.Too Good to Go is very convenient for users. Restaurants make food available on the Too Good To Go app and website. People can look through the available dishes on the smartphones, pay for them using credit card and pick them up at a set time, an hour before closing time.Although Too Good to Go does take a fee from restaurants for each sale, its creators say the end goal is to use it for restaurants to solve their waste management problem, rather than making a profit. Wilson claims, “The idea is that restaurants stop producing the extra food so they don't need to throw it away in the trash, and we really want to put ourselves out of business by stopping food waste.”Birmingham has become the latest city where restaurants can reduce food waste to the lowest limit by working with the Too Good To Go social enterprise app.25．Where was Too Good to Go originally launched? ________A．In Denmark. B．In Brighton. C．In Birmingham. D．In the US. 26．What's the app intended to do? ________A．Make a profit by selling food on the website. B．Allow restaurants to sell foods at low prices.C．Help restaurants to deal with leftover food. D．Call on restaurants to save food and money.27．How did the creators of the app make profits? ________A．By selling copies of the app. B．By taking a fee from buyers.C．By charging restaurants for each sale. D．By getting donations from entrepreneurs.28．What can we infer from the text? ________A．People can pay less money for a rich meal. B．The app is mainly designed to help the poor. C．Dishes can be sold to make a lot of profits. D．People can get their ordered food at home.CWhen was the last time you upgraded your smartphone, and put your old handset into a cupboard never to be seen again?Rather than seeing how much we can get for it on eBay, the high-street retailer（零售商）Three is encouraging customers to do something good. Sure, you could give it to a family member or sell it and pocket the extra money,but what if that tiny little device could really change someone else's life for the better? According to Three, there are almost 15million such people in the UK, unable to enjoy the luxury of a smartphone and over 20 million of us with unused devices lying around. Reconnected, a non-profit programme, is partnering with a variety of charities （慈善机构）to get the technology to those people who need it most.But anyone who has a smartphone knows that much of the expense comes paying your monthly bill, but not for the device. So those who receive a device via the programme will also be given three months free access to the Three network allowing them to go online, sign up to job alerts and make calls without the cost hanging over them. After the period is up, they can go into any store and set up a contract（合同）with the phone they already have.Mary, 58, from Hertfordshire was given a phone, and explained how it changed her life:“Before I got my smartphone, I was terrified of technology. I wanted a job, so I knew I needed to get online. By the end of the three-month programme, I was emailing prospective employers and t king to my employment advisor via email. It has opened so many doors for me.”If you want to take part in Reconnected, all you need to do is go to your local Three store and collect a pre-paid envelope to send your device away. 2017 is looking up already.29．Why does Three encourage people to donate their unused phone? ________A．To upgrade their smartphone. B．To join the charity organization.C．To improve some poor people's life. D．To exchange for some pocket money.30. What can we know about the phone offered by the programme? ________A．The phone service is free of charge. B．It has to be returned after 3months.C．Users must pay for their phone calls. D．Its service can last with a contract.31．What does the example of Mary show? ________A．How technology changes people's life. B．How people benefit from the programme.C．How people can join the programme. D．How her career began to take off.DIt is certainly newsworthy that Julia is the first new Muppet（提线木偶）in a decade in Sesame Street, a TV program for children, but that is not the only thing that makes her special. The cheery, green-eyed 4-year-old, who has autism（自闭症）, is also here to expose young kids to those with autism and teach them about acceptance.The creators decided to bring the Muppet on air so that she would be able to reach millions more kids and families. However, as autism looks different in everyone, it can be hard to introduce such a character properly. Sesame Workshop consulted with over 250 educators, psychologists, and autism organizations.In Julia's first episode, viewers observe common problems with kids who suffer autism and similar disorders. For example, when the other Muppets want to play hide and seek, Julia starts jumping up and down with excitement. Instead of laughing at her or correcting her, the group of Muppets start jumping with her and it becomes a new game. And when Julia first meets Big Bird, another Muppet, she ignores him. At first, Big Bird is hurt, but he learns that it doesn't mean she dislikes him—she just communicates with strangers in a different way.Julia was an instant hit. Families quickly connect with the little red-haired girl. Sherrie Westin, an executivevice president at Sesame Workshop, says her favorite feedback came from a mother, who used Julia to explain to her autistic daughter what the condition meant, inspiring the daughter t o say, “So I'm amazing, too, right?”Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the United States and scores more worldwide. Hopefully, by watching Julia, kids will see that everyone should be treated equally and appreciated.32．What does the underlined word “them”in Paragraph 1 refer to? ________A．Sesame Street's Muppets. B．Young kids.C．Children with autism. D．The creators of Julia.33．Why did Sesame Workshop consult many experts? ________A．To make the new Muppet entertaining. B．To get their advice on the cure for autism.C．To make autism better known through Julia. D．To make more money through the TV program. 34．How do the other Muppets react to Julia's behavior in the game? ________A．They follow her. B．They ignore her. C．They correct her. D．They laugh at her. 35．Why did the author mention the mother and her autistic daughter? ________A．To make Sesame Street popular. B．To help people with autism.C．To show the influence of Julia. D．To draw public attention to them.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.Summer is a time to look forward to because there is no school to get you down. 36 You just need to stay active, occupied, and have an open mind.·Read if you feel bored.Subscribe to a magazine or comic if you don't like books.

I think movies tell moving stories about modern life, and you can get completely lost in it, forgetting about the stress in life and work.M: Y eah, I agree. But I prefer the plays myself. I know plays aren’t as realistic as movies. I mean, you have to imagine a lot of the setting, not like in the movies. But I like the fact that you have to use your imagination more. (Text 7)M: H ello, I’m calling to check on a bike that I ordered last week.W: S ure, could you tell me your name or order number?M: M y order number is 9372-928．It’s for a Ranger 5000.W: A h, it looks like the bike was shipped yesterday and should be in tomorrow or Friday.

Why not just copy the sections you need right away?M: T hat would cost me more than the fine.(Text 10)M: G ood afternoon, I want to thank Professor Johnson for giving me the chance to talk to you today about Alaska. One of the things that concern me most is the future of the Alaska environment. About twenty years ago, before going on some wilderness research, I visited Anchorage, the largest city in Alaska. It was a small city of 40, 000 people surrounded by a quiet wilderness. When I made a recent trip there, I found amazing changes. Anchorage now has a hundred and eight thousand people, more than four times a s many as in 1960. There’re tall buildings, shopping centers and all the crowds and traffic jams. The forests and mountains are still nearby, but they seem so small compared to the city’s great size. The discovery of oil in Alaska brought increased wealth to the state. However, there have been too many people moving to Alaska in a very short period to work on the pipeline. There is not enough housing or transportation.I think Alaska must make important decisions soon. Alaskans need to decide how to develop their natural resources and mineral wealth without destroying the wilderness and harming the wildlife. What is decided on now will affect the generations to come.For today’s lecture, I’ve brought along many of the pictures I usually show in my environmen tal science classesin my own university. First, I’ll show you some pictures of Alaska’s wilderness as it is today. Then I’d like to outline my specific suggestions.Dear Gary,I’m very glad to know that you are coming to China. Of course, a Chinese name will help you better fit in with the new culture.The biggest difference between Chinese names and English names is that we put the family name first. A Chinese name usually consists of two or three characters, which often carry some special significance or expectations. As you are an energetic and warm-hearted boy, I recommend you the name Li Yang. The family name, which is shared by billions of Chinese, has the same pronunciation as yours. The given name means the sun in Chinese.I hope you like your new name and have a really good time in China.Yours,Li Hua。

first person we met.I felt appreciated,but also guilty,because I hadn’t really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly.I had received a call saying she had just passed away.I wanted to rush down there immediately,but didn’t want to intrude（打扰）on this very personal period of sadness.I was torn about what to do.Another

from the pain of his AIDS-related dying.He was not awake,and obviously unaware of others’ presence.However,the atmosphere was by no means solemn.His family,playing guitars and singing,allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life,I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence.In it,none of us are truly alone.It is not only something we give to others

who’ve already built up much internship（实习）experience while still attending university,as their majors offer a co-operative program.Co-op programs,a feature（特色）of Canadian university programs,allow academic studies to be combined with work experience.During school years,students get to network withemployers,gain internship experience in relevant fields,and earn academic credits that count toward their degree or diploma.Co-op programs are available in most comprehensive universities,like the University of Waterloo,Wilfrid Laurier University and York University.These programs are not only open to students majoring in business but also to many science and art majors.Statistics show that nearly 30 percent of recent foreign applicants have chosen majors that also subscribe to the co-op program.“It’s easy to understand,”said a senior education counselor.He noted that working opportunities are provided by employers that build bridges with the university and most of them are well-known companies or local government organizations.Moreover,the average salary for interns is as high as C$30,000 to C$40,000 a year.Students can choose to work during vacations or term times freely.The required duration of the internship for undergraduates ranges from eight to twelve months,or four to six months for graduate students.“The programs also benefit those students who want to apply for immi gration,”added the counselor.“That’s because the policies of many pro vinces in Canada require a certain length of work experience of the applicants.”29.What's the main characteristic of co-op

majors.panies welcome foreign students.31.Which section of a website does the text probably come from?A.Business.cation.C.Lifestyle.D.Culture.DIt’s cold and dark outside,and your bed is so warm and comfortable.Going for a run seems like such a bad idea.But before you hide your running shoes,it might be worth giving that crazy idea a go.According to The Huffington Post,an outdoor run in winter,as opposed to one on a treadmill （跑步机）,burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate（调节）its core temperature.Furthermore,research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures-and quicker runs burn more calories.Similarly,cold weather also makes the heart work harder to distribute blood through the body,making that vital muscle even stronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression that build up every day.The heat and humidity in the summer can drag you down and tire you faster,but cold weather is refreshing.It adjusts you to your surroundings,making you feel alive.Of course,the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks,stroke,lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog.Thecombination of air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems.If you do choose to run outside on smoggy days,take a path in a park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气）,and go early in the morning,before rush hour.But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the next clear day to run is best.32.How does cold weather benefit runners,compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B.They can take in more calories.C.Their hearts can function harder.D.Their body temperature can get lower.33.How does summer affect runners?A.It builds up their energy quickly.B.It makes runners tired easily.C.It lessens runners’ stress.D.It causes heart attack.34.What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A.Stop driving cars.B.Do more exercise.C.Avoid outdoor exercise.D.Run late in the morning.35.What can be the best title of the text?A.Refresh with a Winter RunB.Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC.Go to Run in a ParkD.Follow the Tips to Reduce Stress第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）How to Make Sure You Enjoy Y our TripA trip is a planned destination where one arranges in advance in which the main purpose is to search

APrivate MuseumsGuanfu Museum,BeijingTicket: 50 yuanOpened in 1997 by antiques collector Ma Weidu,the Guanfu Museum is China's first private museum.It doesn't just display antiques as most other museums do.Guanfu's exhibits feel intimate（温馨）,as if visitors had walked into a private house.Antique furniture is placed as it would have been in someone's home long ago,with rare blue-flowered porcelain（瓷器）vases and jars decorating the room.Apart from its branch in Beijing,Guanfu has opened two branches in Shanghai and Xiamen.Long Museum,ShanghaiTicket: 50 yuanWang Wei and Liu Yiqian have turned people's heads several times since opening the museum in 2012.In 2014, Liu snapped up a Ming Dynasty porcelain cup for HK$281.24 million at an auction（拍卖）.It set a world record for the highest price of a single piece of Chinese porcelain.Their most recent acquisition was a painting entitled Peach Blossom Spring by Zhang Daqian.The work was sold at Sotheby's spring auctions for HK$271 million.

smartphone app which allows restaurants to sell food that would otherwise be thrown away at discount prices from as little as￡2 and a maximum of ￡3.80,ever if the meals are sold from the very finest restaurants in the country.Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June,the service has recently been introduced in the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs（企业家）.Millions of tons of food are thrown in the trash every year,with restaurants accounting for a large part,so eco-entrepreneurs Chris Wilson and Jamie Crummie came up with the good idea to stop food ing Too Good to Go not only helps restaurants save expense,but gives people in need the chance to order fancy dishes at low prices.Too Good to Go is very convenient for users.Restaurants make food available on the Too Good To Go app and website.People can look through the available dishes on the smartphones,pay for them using credit card and pick them up at a set time,an hour before closing time.Although Too Good to Go does take a fee from restaurants for each sale,its creators say the end goal is to use it for restaurants to solve their waste management problem,rather than making a profit.Wilson claims, "The idea is that restaurants stop producing the extra food so they don't need to throw it away in the trash,and we really want to put ourselves out of business by stopping food waste."Birmingham has become the latest city where restaurants can reduce food waste to the lowest limit by working with the Too Good To Go social enterprise app.25.Where was Too Good to Go originally launched?A.In Denmark.B.In Brighton.C.In Birmingham.D.In the US.26.What's the app intended to do?A.Make a profit by selling food on the website.B.Allow restaurants to sell foods at low prices.C.Help restaurants to deal with leftover food.D.Call on restaurants to save food and money.27.How did the creators of the app make profits?A.By selling copies of the app.B.By taking a fee from buyers.C.By charging restaurants for each sale.D.By getting donations from entrepreneurs.28.What can we infer from the text?A.People can pay less money for a rich meal.B.The app is mainly designed to help the poor.C.Dishes can be sold to make a lot of profits.D.People can get their ordered food at home.CWhen was the last time you upgraded your smartphone,and put your old handset into a cupboard never to be seen again?Rather than seeing how much we can get for it on eBay,the high-street retailer（零售商）Three is encouraging customers to do something good.Sure,you could give it to a family member or sell it and pocket the extra money,but what if that tiny little device could really change someone else's life for the better?According to Three,there are almost 15million such people in the UK,unable to enjoy the luxury of a smartphone and over 20 million of us with unused devices lying around.Reconnected,a non-profit programme,is partnering with a variety of charities（慈善机构）to get the technology to those people who need it most.But anyone who has a smartphone knows that much of the expense comes paying your monthly bill,but not for the device.So those who receive a device via the programme will also be given three months free access to the Three network allowing them to go online,sign up to job alerts and make calls without the cost hanging over them.After the period is up,they can go into any store and set up a contract（合同）with the phone they already have.Mary,58,from Hertfordshire was given a phone,and explained how it changed her life:"Before I got my smartphone,I was terrified of technology.I wanted a job,so I knew I needed to get online.By the end of the three-month programme,I was emailing prospective employers and t king to my employment advisor via email...It has opened so many doors for me."If you want to take part in Reconnected,all you need to do is go to your local Three store and collect a pre-paid envelope to send your device away.2017 is looking up already.29.Why does Three encourage people to donate their unused phone?A.To upgrade their smartphone.B.To join the charity organization.C.To improve some poor people's life.D.To exchange for some pocket money.30.What can we know about the phone offered by the programme?A.The phone service is free of charge.B.It has to be returned after 3 months.ers must pay for their phone calls.D.Its service can last with a contract.31.What does the example of Mary show?A.How technology changes people's life.B.How people benefit from the programme.C.How people can join the programme.D.How her career began to take off.DIt is certainly newsworthy that Julia is the first new Muppet（提线木偶）in a decade inSesame Street,a TV program for children,but that is not the only thing that makes her special.The cheery,green-eyed 4-year-old,who has autism（自闭症）,is also here to expose young kids to those with autism and teach them about acceptance.The creators decided to bring the Muppet on air so that she would be able to reach millions more kids and families.However,as autism looks different in everyone,it can be hard to introduce such a character properly.Sesame Workshop consulted with over 250 educators,psychologists,and autism organizations.In Julia's first episode,viewers observe common problems with kids who suffer autism and similar disorders.For example,when the other Muppets want to play hide and seek,Julia starts jumping up and down with excitement. Instead of laughing at her or correcting her,the group of Muppets start jumping with her and it becomes a new game. And when Julia first meets Big Bird,another Muppet,she ignores him.At first,Big Bird is hurt,but he learns that it doesn't mean she dislikes him—she just communicates with strangers in a different way.Julia was an instant hit.Families quickly connect with the little red-haired girl.Sherrie Westin,an executive vice president at Sesame Workshop,says her favorite feedback came from a mother,who used Julia to explain to her autistic daughter what the condition meant,inspiring the daughter to say, "So I'm amazing,too,right?"Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the United States and scores more worldwide.Hopefully,by watching Julia, kids will see that everyone should be treated equally and appreciated.32.What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Sesame Street's Muppets.B.Young kids.C.Children with autism.D.The creators of Julia.33.Why did Sesame Workshop consult many experts?A.To make the new Muppet entertaining.B.To get their advice on the cure for autism.C.To make autism better known through Julia.D.To make more money through the TV program.34.How do the other Muppets react to Julia's behavior in the game?A.They follow her.B.They ignore her.C.They correct her.D.They laughat her.35.Why did the author mention the mother and her autistic daughter?A.To make Sesame Street popular.B.To help people with autism.C.To show the influence of Julia.D.To draw public attention to them.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

As a recent article in The Guardiannewspaper noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice-breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (上限) that I could never break through,” Hannah Ashley, a public relations account manager in London, who once studied Spanish in Madrid. Told The Guardian, “I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese-American comedian Joe Wong found this out first-hand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people didn’t think his. Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.In Australia, meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby,” said Mel ody Cao, who was once a student inAustralia. “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony－basically, saying something they don’t mean to make a joke－every day, people in the US don’t see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark, while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings, a bit like Amer icans themselves,” he wrote in The Guardian.25. The writer quoted the sentence, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than under standing vocabulary and grammar.” to show that______.A. making jokes can help you make friends with native speakersB. local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better.C. understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar.D. to understand its jokes, you’d better lean the culture.26. What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?A. She feels confident in using Spanish.B. She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.C. She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.D. She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.27. Joe Wong is used as an example to _______.A. show that there are cultural differences in humorB. prove that it can be difficult to translate jokesC. suggest that bilingual people (双语者) have no problems in making people laughD. show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor28. From the article, we can learn that _______.A. jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgroundsB. Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokesC. not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easilyD. British people’s dark jokes often make people uncomfortableDDACDigital 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 dir ector 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 pay ment app Mileslife, told CNN. “So Chinese people just skipped credit cards and wet 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 said29.

He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later, he was alive.His account of how he survived is fascinating. But the thing that caught my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost. Giving up would have seemed the only wise option.When people survive these kinds of circumstances, they dosomething with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going. Many people in similarly desperate circumstances give in or go mad.”I tell myself I can handle it,” wrote Callahan. “Compared to what others have been through, I’m fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, building up fortitude….”It struck me as something important. And I’ve told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed far off or when my problems seemed too overwhelming. And every time I’ve said it, I have always come back to my senses.The truth is, our circumstances are only bad compared to something better. But others have been through much worse. So here, coming to us from the extreme edge of survival, are words that can give us strength. Whatever you’re going through, tell yourself you can handle it. Tell this to yourself over and over, and it will help you get through the rough spots.32. The author seemed more interested in __________.A. what made Steven Callahan decide to cross the AtlanticB.

I heard about its work from my neighbors who used to take part some years ago. I thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me. But it wouldn’t matter if you took part on your own. You’d soon make friends with other people there. Most of the people there were teenagers. We were a very international group in my team. Over half of the people there were from Australia, like me, but there were also people from China, Thailand and the USA. Most teams were working on the south coast of the country, but mine was working on the east. We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find on the seaside. It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. I’m determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible.It’ll be worth it if we ca n make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals. So, if you’d like to join me taking part in this Day next year, it’ll be on January 11th. The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers. There’ll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.。
