22、 If you’ve never heard of eight-year-old Gavin Thomas, you clearly aren’t one of the millions of people around the world who have fallen in love with the young internet sensation (网红) .
But it isn’t in his native United States that Gavin has really hit the big time, the honor belongs to China. Since creating a profile a mere four months ago on Weibo, Gavin has gained an astonishing 1.8 million followers - and the number continues to grow, along with his fame. On Twitter, by comparison, Gavin has a mere 450,000 followers.
Why is a young American, born in Minnesota and still in elementary school, an instant sensation in the largest country in the world? It’s because of Gavin’s unique facial expressions, which have become a hugely successful viral meme (模仿传递行为) . Gavin first made a name for himself in the US, when short videos of him playing with his uncle Nick Mastodon quickly became a hit online. But it wasn’t until Gavin’s videos spread gradually to the Chinese cyberspace, particularly one of his reacting with a nervous smile to a gecko (壁虎) being placed on his head, that his fame truly took off. A picture of Gavin’s face, smiling awkwardly, might be used as many as 10 million times a day across China’s various social media platforms, according to Ann Ding, founder and CEO of Dongtu.com, a major distributor of online gifts, told CNN. Ding said Gavin seemed to be more popular in China than in the US. She estimated that all of the total number of Gavin related pictures used across platforms in China has easily exceeded 1 billion. His appearance on Weibo was widely reported by Chinese state media, and his first trip to China in August made headlines across the country.

23、Is a cashless society possible for everyone?
There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society. It would give rise to a new era for financial businesses, which are all carried out digitally. The key benefits would include lower crime rates, easier foreign businesses, and reduced risks and costs. The idea of a cashless society appears so wide-spread in our society. 【1】
Economic inequality and exclusivity (排他性)are fundamental issues still present worldwide.【2】The unbanked and the poor could face significant challenges with digital payment. In fact a huge number of the unbanked view the cashless movement as a discrimination(歧视)against those without bank accounts.
【3】There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with quick digitalization and technological advancement. There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have difficulty accessing mobile phones and the Internet.
In China, four out of every five payments are now cashless. 【4】 The country is about to launch a national digital currency, the world’s first. As we use the model set by China, other countries need to take it upon themselves to provide a harmonious, and effective, cashless society—one that does not leave anyone behind.
【5】 But at the same time they should be provided with the means and motivation to take part in an ever-growing cashless world.
A．This problem can not be ignored.
B．However, this is far from reality.
C．We shouldn’t leave behind the poor.
D．Nearly everything can be bought digitally.
E．It isn’t just the unbanked who are at risk of being left behind.
F．A cashless society might actually make these problems worse.
G．We must ensure that people are still given freedom of choice regarding how they pay.
24、Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His unique writing style greatly influenced 20th-century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously.
Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War I, which became the basis for his novel A farewell to Arms.

His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.
After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927 Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer: they divorced following Hemingway’s return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War II.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life.
