三.阅读理解
We all need cash(现金) in order to live our lives. However, something called digital currency(货币) is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is 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 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 the digital currency.
Many people still don’t believe in 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.
Do you believe in digital currency Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then maybe you won’t have other ways. You’ll have to use digital currency.
( ) 1. 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.
( ) 2. What is the “good answer” to the question in Para. 2
A. You cannot shop online without digital currency.
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.
( ) 3. What is the first problem mentioned in Para.3
A. Digital currency is not safe enough.
B. Many people still don’t believe in digital currency.
C. Some people can’t hold their money in their hand.
D. Some people don’t feel comfortable with numbers.
( ) 4. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
