13、The Chinese tradition of giving gifts of money in red envelopes at Lunar New Year has turned into big business for Web giants Alibaba and Tencent, which now both offer electronic \"hong bao\".

At the end of each lunar year, it is common in China to give children hong bao -- some money in envelopes that are red, the colour of success. But now theold also take part in this activity.

It is now possible to exchange \"red envelopes\" with smartphone, which is popular in China and has caused a battle(战争) for thelucrativemarket between the two companies providing the service, Tencent and Alibaba. \"You don't have to pay the same cost or wait as long as you would for a traditional bank transfer(转账). It's more convenient, simple and fun,\" Wang Le, a 28-year-old Beijinger, told AFP. \" With electronic red envelopes, you're not limited by your identity(身份) or the time of year. It's a new, fresh way of playing the game.\"

The idea was introduced in 2014 by WeChat, a mobile messaging system with over 400 million users and run[by Tencent, China's largest Internet service system. It was successful at once.

This year, Alipay Wallet(阿里支付宝), the payment system run by Alibaba, is ready to take on the competition. It is allowing its 190 million users to send digital gifts, especially on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo.

For the past few weeks a digital battle has been terrible, with Tencent banning (禁止)Alipay from sending red envelopes on WeChat, saying they were at a risk. Recently, WeChat also blocked(封锁) Alibaba's music app Xiami. To attract the public's attention, the two companies have launched lotteries through which they award red envelopes to users in an online game.

It's easy to send and receive hong bao or take part in the lotteries: you simply need to register (登记)your bank details. According to market research group iResearch, Alipay controls 82.6 percent of the Chinese mobile phone payment market, compared to 10 percent for Tencent's Tenpay. 1.Which Web giants now offer electronic \"hong bao\"?

14、Jack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens(young cats) to socialize(交往) with, and was used to people from the moment he was born.However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up.

That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten. When we first brought him home,Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house,he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.

A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new born cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see,.He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle(摔跤).They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.

Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He

doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean,owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities 适应性. 1.Why did Jack come to our home?

Lin Hanxing is a 30-year-old who lives in Beijing. She owns just five shirts, two pairs of trousers, four pairs 16、

of shoes, three books and a few other things. It’s hard to believe that only five years ago, Lin was one of those people who couldn’t stop buying things. Back then, she had more than 400 pieces of clothes and handbags. But that was before she saw an online challenge in 2014, introduced by Joshua Becker, a writer in the US who was promoting (推动) a minimalist lifestyle. He encouraged people to reduce the number of their belongings (财物) to fewer than 100. Lin decided to give it a try. She threw away 90 percent of her belongings. She also cleared 120 people she never spoke to from her QQ and Wechat. After doing all that, Lin said she felt ‘lighter’.

We used to think owning more was the way to lead a rich life. But now many people believe that owning less is rich, perhaps richer.

According to US writer Joel Stillerman, people who are educated and wealthy are more likely to have a minimalist lifestyle. These people are saying, ‘I can afford to have less.’

But leading a minimalist lifestyle doesn’t only mean owning or spending less. Adam Lucacias from a UK research company Euromonitor found young people spend less on belongings, but more on short holidays and visits to the movies.

‘They are looking for a life that is all about culture.’ Alison Angus, the manager of Euromonitor, said.

So perhaps it all comes down to how we define (定义) ‘wealth’. Is wealth in life about buying more and owning more, or is it about learning more and experiencing more? 1.Which of the following leads a minimalist lifestyle? A.Alison Angus. C.Joe Stillerman.

B.Adam Lucacias. D.Joshua Becker.

2.What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.I can live a good life with no more education and money. B.I can live a good life by experiencing less and learning more. C.I can live a good life with necessary belongings and friends. D.I can live a good life with less money and fewer belongings.

3.Lin Hanxing’s definition of ‘wealth’ may probably cover __________. A.Owning fewer friends C.Having more holidays

B.doing more learning

D.Chatting less often with peopl

17、I 1ive on the twelfth floor of a building.One afternoon l was coming home from a friend’s house.It was just after four o’clock.I got quickly into the lift and pressed Button(按钮)12。

18、It can be hard to meet people from another culture. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European

countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people just looked at me all the time and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are not needed.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share almost the same values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

1.In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to . A.develop closer relationship B.share the same culture C.get to know each other D.make a successful speech 2.The writer mentions his journey in Thailand to show that . A.too many words are of no use

B.the English prefer to make long speeches C.even talk and silence can be culturally different D.people from Thailand are quiet and shy 3.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Multicultural Environment B.Cross-Cultural Differences

C.How to Understand Each Other D.How to Build Up a Relationship Ⅴ.书面表达

19、My Best Friend and I

We are graduating from school soon. I miss so many good friends, especially my best friends Jeff. We’ve been friends for three years. Three years ago, I was a new student in our class. I felt very lonely. My English was very poor. Jeff often helped me learn English. With his help, I made much progress in English. So we became friends. Though we are both tall and thin, we are different. Jeff is more outgoing than me and he is good at playing soccer. But I’m quieter than him. I’m good at playing basketball. We often help each other. He is very kind and friendly. So we get on well with each other. I hope he will have a bright future and that our friendship will last forever.
