Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? The money you pay doesn’t go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the “confirm receipt” button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.
The process is called “third party online payment”. There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don’t need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.
But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesn’t have its own account. When paying through WeChat, the buyers’ money goes directly to the sellers. That’s why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out “red envelopes” or gift money to their friends on WeChat.
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment, they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier. These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints. New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.
( )46. How many ways to pay are mentioned in the passage?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
( )47. Paragraph 2 mainly wants to introduce how .
A. to run a Taobao shop
B. to make your money safe
C. Alipay works
D. to make money by using Alipay
( )48. According to the passage, we can imagine______ in the future. ?
A. real money will not be used
B. payment through fingerprints will be popular
C. third party online payment is sure to avoid all the risks in trade
D. Alipay will take the place of banks
( )49. According to the passage, which of the following is not referred to?
A. New payment methods make our life easier.
B. Putting money in Alipay is a good way to make money.
C. Banks are angry about losing some customers.
D. Quick response codes are more popular than any other methods.
( )50. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Using new technologies to do online shopping.
B. Some ways to pay in our daily life.
C. The advantage of third party online payment.
D. It is convenient to do shopping online using Alipay and WeChat.
C
Messaging app WeChat is being used for an ever longer period of time and is growing into a lifestyle choice embedded into daily activities and communication, a new survey has found.
In 2016, one-third of WeChat’s 889 million monthly active users spend four hours or more per day on the app, twice that of a year ago, according to the survey showed by Penguin Intelligence, a research arm of Tencent Holdings.
The average (平均)daily time spent is also up a bit, now at 66 minutes, surpassing that of Facebook’s average 50 minutes recorded last year. ?
And it’s becoming more popular than ever, spreading into new aspects of life from offline payments to receiving news feeds.
The survey also found a larger number of newly-added contacts(联系人) of WeChat users are casual acquaintances (泛好友), especially in work-related communication. Such a developing situation is turning the app into a virtual (虚拟的) workplace. Over 80% of users have handled(接触过) office work on WeChat, from transferring documents and coordinating(协调) tasks to taking video calls and doing business.
“The all-in-one super app is completely changing the way we live. When lining up for coffee, I can’t see a single customer holding a wallet, ______, they hold mobile phones over a reader and coffee is theirs, ” said Fred Wellington, an Australian auditor working in Shanghai. ?
