“More and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods. The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to encourage cashless payment across the country,” said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at Renmin University of China.
Although there were 3.4 billion third-party payment accounts in total in China in 2016, China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed countries like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also seeing that increase.
However, the rapid development of the cashless payment does not mean there are no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba’s Hema Fresh Store has come under the spotlight recently. The media said that consumers couldn’t buy goods in cash there, which would be considered illegal.
Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third-party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more people to use cashless payment methods, which caused concern over whether cash will soon disappear.
“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which influences the natural circulation(流通)of cash,” said Dong. He stressed that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. “Also it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population live in the country, and they are unable to enjoy innovation(革新)brought by the Internet,” said Dong. “And when it comes to China’s senior citizens, most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives,” he added.
“It’s ridiculous(荒谬的)to question digital payment tools’ contribution to financial development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers’ payment habits,”Dong noted.
1.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to
A.The economic activity.
B.A large amount of payment.
C.The development of the economy.
D.The cashless payment.
2.Why has Alibaba’s Hema Fresh Store become a focus
A.It fights against illegal activities.
B.Customers are not permitted to use cash there.
C.It provides comprehensive services.
D.It starts campaigns to encourage mobile payment.
3.What is Dong Ximiao’s attitude towards the payment in the future
A.The cashless payment should be limited in the countryside.
B.The innovation in payment is ridiculous in fact.
C.Various payment methods should be encouraged.
D.The digital payment should replace cash completely.
4.What is the best title of the passage
A.Innovation on the Internet
B.Cash or cashless
C.Payment online should replace cash
D.Is the circulation of cash dying

Is there a link between social media and depression Does social media have a negative impact on your mental health It’s complicated.
In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression among teens.
1 Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than his peers, he likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.
A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that “problematic social media use” was one of the main problems for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. 2
There’s one important thing to remember about survey research—two things happen together, and it’s not necessarily true that one causes the other. 3 For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.
4 If you think that we shouldn’t paint social media with a broad brush, you’re on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.
It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It’s also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it’s safe to say that at least we shouldn’t write off social media altogether. 5 Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch(精神寄托) for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.
A.The same is true of social media.
B.Social media can be a double-edged sword.
C.People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.
D.They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores.
E.They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits and drawbacks.
F.The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using them in moderation and staying socially connected.
G.For example, it doesn’t mean social media use causes depression just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression.

1.D 词义猜测题。由第二段中的“China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed countries like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also seeing that increase.”可知,中国不是第一个寻求无现金社会的国家,瑞典、丹麦和新加坡等发达国家也正在见证那种现象的增长。由此可推测that指代的是“无现金支付”。故选D项。
