21、“Cash or credit?” Is that statement becoming a phrase of the past? New technology and tools that support cashless payment options have speeded up this process and made us feel that were on our way towards a cashless society. Is this a good or a bad thing? Let's take a look at both sides of the issue.
The most obvious benefits of a cashless society are simplicity and convenience. What can be easier than sending a P2P payment or tapping your phone? There's no need to visit a credit union branch or ATM to obtain cash or worry about not having enough cash on hand to make a purchase.
Plus, a cashless society saves cost. The manufacturing of bills and coins is expensive, and cash handling is even more so. Think about everything that a retail business needs to do with cash—store it, withdraw it, deposit it, etc. And, in the case of credit unions or other financial institutions, consider the cost of security, gas, truck maintenance, etc. when transporting large sums of cash between locations.
However, with cash payments, you can send and receive funds safely and anonymously. But that's not possible with electronic payments, which leave a digital trace behind them with a wealth of information about both your transaction and you.
Besides, electronic payments are fat targets for hackers whose goal is to obtain and use transferred funds for their own evil purposes. At the same time, a cashless payment is like an open door to identity theft since so much information about individual consumers can be stolen.
Finally, when it comes to technology issues, making a cash payment is a simple, low-tech act. There's no need to worry about unsafe software, bad network connections, service breakdown, limited server space, or other technical problems. But in a cashless society, where even a dead cell phone battery can cut a consumer off from access to his or her funds, such technology issues can be quite challenging.
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A．In terms of technology, cashless payment is simpler.
B．Cash-free business is cost-effective in many aspects.
C．Many young citizens still prefer cash or credit to e-payment.
D．Electronic payments will not involve any of your privacy.
【2】What is the author's attitude towards a cashless society?
A．Cautious.
B．Objective.
C．Doubtful.
D．Indifferent.
【3】Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
①=Paragraph1 ②=Paragraph2 ③=Paragraph3 ④Paragrapha4 ⑤=Paragraph5 ⑥=Paragraph6

23、ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’ death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.
“I want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”
Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.
Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’ s Taussing Cancer Center(陶西格癌症中心）, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half.
Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.
People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”

24、Today, I am here to tell you a story of death, new life, and revenge (报复). Three years ago, the city council of Redondo Beach, California ordered the death of my 30-year-old pepper tree. Its roots had begun to spread into the pavement in front of my house. They even made me pay for the damage to the sidewalk and for the tree removal.
I loved Clyde. I’m beginning to get older and planting something that I knew would live well beyond my lifetime was something very special. I took very good care of him and I watched him grow. Just as Clyde was becoming a strong healthy individual, expanding his root system, developing a canopy, and making his own way in life, the mayor (市长) took it upon himself to uproot my beautiful child.
Mayor Steve Aspel, you killed my child.
For this, you will pay. Two years and seven months ago, I secretly planted 45 California redwoods and 82 giant sequoias in various parks and yards around your city.
Today, each of their root systems will be at least 30 feet in diameter (直径), and deeply fixed in the soil. You may have noticed the trees growing in front of the city council, or that new one in your backyard. That’s a giant sequoia, and its growth will begin speeding up in the coming months.
You killed Clyde, but I have replaced him with over 100 living giants. In a few years, they’ll begin breaking heights of 100-300 feet and live well beyond 2,500 years. To remove even one of them at this point will cost well over $1,500. And I’m sticking you with the bill, just like you did to me 3 years ago.
Good day to you, sir. May your city be overrun by trees. And may Clyde rest in peace.
【1】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

D．To express his anger at the mayor.
【2】What does the author mainly describe in Paragraph 2?

B．The suffering of Clyde.

B．He asked Steve Aspel to pay damages.
C．He cut down many trees to take revenge.
