While WeChat Pay is now a part of life in our country, this way of paying also appears in other countries. A lot of foreign companies and traders have to accept it. According to Xinhua News, about 13 foreign countries have WeChat Pay services for Chinese travelers.

Is it good or bad to use WeChat Pay? Will people no longer use paper money in the future? Some discussions appear on the Internet.

How do you pay for things? Do you usually use cash (现金), or do you like to pay by credit card(信用卡)? If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should.

Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s. At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers (顾客).

They couldn’t pay for something a little at a time.

In 1950, a businessman named MCNamara started a credit card company-Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants.

They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit cards.

In its first year of business, Diners Club provided 200 cards. The customers who got the cards from the diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7.6 million businesses in more than 200 countries.

Do you shop online with websites like Taobao? The money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller. Instead, it goes through Alipay, which keeps your money for a while. After you receive your goods and click the "confirm receipt" button, Alipay then gives the money to the seller.

The process is called "third party online payment". There is a transfer station, or a third account, between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe. Buyers don't need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing. Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods.

These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay, Tenpay and Yeepay. Among them, Alipay is the biggest in China. It has more than 270 million active users, according to Xinhua.

While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system, banks are not very happy. That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks. Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money. Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks.

But WeChat payment is not the same. WeChat doesn't have its own account. When paying through WeChat, the buyers money goes directly to the sellers. That's why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out "red envelopes" or gift money to their friends on WeChat,

Whether Alipay or WeChat payment, they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier. These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints. New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too.

A. 2　　 B. 3　　 C. 4　　 D. 5

2.Para land 2 mainly want to introduce how _________.

A. to run a Taobao shop　　 B. to make your money safe

C. Alipay works　　 D. to make money by using Alipay

3.According to the passage, we can imagine_________ in the future.

A. real money will not be used

B. payment through fingerprints will be popular

C. third party online payment is sure to avoid all the risks in trade

D. Alipay will take the place of banks

4.According to the passage, which of the following is not referred to?

A. New payment methods make our life easier

B. Putting money in Alipay is a good way to make money

C. Banks are angry about losing some customers.

D. Quick response codes are more popular than any other methods.
