24、   After a while, you may have saved some pocket money. You finally have enough money to buy that game or piece of clothing you dreamed of. You take the money, go to the store and find them. But when you go to check out, you see a sign: "Hello! We've gone cashless (无现金)." It is disappointing and then you may have to leave the store.

While this may become common if more stores and restaurants stop accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers (顾客) must pay with their bank card or by Smart phone App. Many business owners say that accepting no cash has helped them simplify the way that their business runs. Cashiers don't have to worry about having enough money to make change or about putting bills and coins to the bank.

But a growing number of people say cashless stores are unfair. Some even say they should be illegal (非法的).

According to the research, many families actually don't have bank savings. Many people including kids, don't have bank cards because they don't meet the conditions for applying for the bankcards. Therefore, cashless stores seem to be unfair. Some people even say cashless stores are " discriminating (歧视) against people." Plus, people who do have bank cards might prefer paying with cash is still very popular with consumers. It's used by almost eight in ten adults in the world every month. That's more than any other payment type.

Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban (禁止) cashless stores. Some big cities have already passed laws to address the problem. A lawmaker says: "It's really about equity. It's about understanding that not everyone has fair way of getting things."

【1】Many business owners think that accepting no cash is ________.

A.helpful B.unfair C.disappointing

【2】Why do many people have no bankcards? ________

A.Because they don't know how to use cards.

B.Because they don't have enough money.

C.Because they don't meet the conditions for applying the bankcards.

【3】According to Paragraph 4, what is the most popular payment type?________

A.Paying with Smartphone. B.Paying with cash. C.Paying with cards

【4】What does the underlined word equity mean in the last paragraph?________

A.财力 B.公平 C.自尊

【5】We can learn from the text that ________.

A.all the cashless stores should be closed

B.people need to be allowed to apply for bankcards.

C.many people think different payment types should be offered.

26、   A blog posted Dec 7, 2018 at 12:17 PM by Alanna Mallon Alanna Mallon is a Cambridge City Councilor.

Each year in November, I receive a lot of emails and texts from friends who want to volunteer with their families on Thanksgiving as a way to give back. I also field phone calls from organizations who want to donate ( 捐赠 ) to local programs that provide Thanksgiving meals.

However, as an official who still works in the nonprofit sector (非盈利部门), I also feel deeply anxious (焦急的) because I know the other 51 weeks of the year, these key programs that provide food to residents (居民) in need are eager for both volunteers and donations. Hunger is a year round problem, and each week volunteers are the necessary part to make sure that programs are able to serve the community.

At Food For Free, we depend on about 100 volunteers per week, and each of those volunteers is extremely important to providing fresh, healthy food to people in the Greater Boston area who need it. School children who take backpacks of food home on Fridays, community college students who depend on our Family Meals program to support their healthy growth, elderly and disabled residents who receive twice monthly deliveries of food to their doors through our Home Delivery program, they all depend on us making sure enough volunteers show up to do the work.

These volunteers don't show up in your social media system, they don't win prizes and no one writes about them in the local newspapers. But they are heroes. And you can be too. If everyone made a promise to volunteer once a month, or even once a quarter, I know that we could reduce some of the anxiety these organizations feel, as a more trust-worthy volunteer network allows them to focus on helping people, not filling volunteer positions.

Here is a list of a few organizations who are doing important work in Cambridge to make sure the food to be safe. Offer your time to an organization, they will be deeply grateful, and I am quite sure that you will feel pretty good about yourself too.

Food For Free: http://foodforfree.org/volunteer.

CEOC: http://ceoccambridge.org/food-pantry.

Harvard Square Homeless Shelter: https://hshshelter.org/volunteer.

Community Cooks: https://communitycooks.org/join-us.
