Most of us in China are used to paying for everything with our phones. 1.At least, this was the case for Lim Swee Say from Singapore, who found his first experience with Chinese payment methods quite impressive. Lim was waiting in line to buy nuts at a street stall(货摊) in Shanghai and saw other customers show their phone and take the nuts without giving cash. 2. It seems that Singapore falls behind in mobile payments. Some Chinese tourists find it inconvenient when they have to use cash in Singapore.

3.According to Xinhua News Agency, many countries now accept mobile payment services for Chinese tourists, with WeChat Pay covered in 13 overseas countries and regions and Alipay over 200. It’s now common to see the familiar green or blue logos in tourist destinations around the world, from a tiny shop in the Scottish Highlands to a huge department store in New York.

Mobile payments are now a normal part of life in China, and the trend is sweeping other nations. According to Forrester Research, in America, mobile payments rose by 37 percent in 2016. 4.This may be partly because western mobile payment services require businesses to install expensive equipment before customers can use them.5.

A. While in China, all it takes is a QR code (二维码) and a phone.

B. The popularity of Chinese mobile payments has pushed some foreign companies to accept them.

C. Foreign tourists don’ t like to pay with their mobile phones.

D. But for foreign visitors who aren’t familiar with this method, it may seem strange.

E. He was trying to figure out how they got paid.

F. Still, Chinese mobile payments were nearly 50 times greater than those in the US.

G. Soon after, he realized that the customers were using WeChat Pay.

For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He preferred reading the newspaper or watching football matches on television to talking to his family.

Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his usual reserved (缄默的) self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!”    I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.

I had never been interested in football, but Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to find out why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first trip to Disneyland.

Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.

The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad patiently explained: “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.”

Dad explained almost everything to me. His monosyllabic (单音节的) answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At long last we had something in common.

Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball?

1.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father?

A. A talkative football player.               B. A parent busy at work.

C. An encouraging father.                  D. A man of few words.

2.What made the author curious about his father one morning?

A. His unusual excitement.

B. His unexpressed eagerness.

C. His great interest in the newspaper.

D. His high expectation of the winner.

3.The author’s growing interest in watching the match mainly came from________.

A. his and his father’s common love of German food

B. watching a top level performance of the players

C. his father’s love of football and his explanation

D. eating in a restaurant with the excited fans

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Sharing is the foundation of good relationship.

B. Family members should be fans together.

C. Interest is the mother of success.

D. Personality decides everything.
