DA geography magazine.BI have received many Christmas gifts over the years.The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger.I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds.His Christmas present to me changed the way I had thought about people and Christmas.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning.They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son.We stood with a very large crowd，waiting for the manager to blow the whistle.After a while，the whistle blew.It was like throwing a bucket of fish into a tank of sharks.I told my wife that if we obtained a bike，fine，but if we did not，I was OK with that too.As the shelf of bikes began to gradually decrease in size，I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes.I lifted it off the box and suddenly felt some mild resistance.I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life.Threat was not the word to describe his presence.He was decorated with numerous belts of metal pointed leather around both arms and even his neck.Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to return anxiously the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands.He then directed it into my shopping cart.He looked at me，smiled，and said，“Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout，paid for the bike and went home.All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received.The kindness of a stranger that broke all previous views I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.I will never forget the tenderness of a human heart in a simple act.4Why does the author view the gift as the best?ABecause it was given by a stranger.

DHe was lovely and energetic.CI was in a taxi in Singapore last week and I couldnt help but notice the sticker attached to the back of the drivers seat.In English and Chinese it read，“We accept Alipay.” It was a reminder that ecommerce in China is no longer just about how great brands break into the Chinese market.Its also about an important slice of Chinas economy coming to you.If you are a brand manager or a salesman，youre increasingly likely to find yourself fighting with the push of Chinese ecommerce companies in your home market.Thats for two reasons：Chinas leadership in electronic payments and the continued rise in Chinese tourism.The result of this is that Chinese consumers are an increasingly important factor in markets around the world.On the electronic payment front，there are some strong reasons to introduce the electronic payment systems Chinese consumers are already using.In China，the traditional wallet has been replaced by an electronic wallet on a smartphone.Its common to make all of your payments for daily needs through that smartphone，using one of the two main electronic payment providers：WeChat Pay or Alipay.Its not just easy to use.These two tech companies have the reach and customer base to push their payment systems beyond their original ecommerce mission.Noodle shops will take electronic payments，and even street musicians have QR for donations.Whether you are paying your electricity bill or seeing a doctor，your mobile phone can handle the payment.As a result，China is today the most cashfree of any of the worlds major economiesand that trend will continue.Already，the numbers are staggeringAccording to a survey by Ipsos and Tencent，14% of Chinese people do not carry any cash，while 26% hold less than RMB100 (less than $16) in their wallets，day to day.According to consulting firm iResearch.In 2016 Chinas mobile payments hit $5.5 trillion，almost 50 times Americas $112 billion.7The writer tells his experience in a taxi in Singapore to Aintroduce the topic of the text Bexamine a problem in detailCoffer some solutions to an issue Dinform the finding of a new study8The fact that Alipay is accepted overseas indicates that Amobile payment in China is becoming more and more popularBChinese economy is taking up a bigger share internationallyCgreat brands find it harder to enter the Chinese marketDthe world market is determined by Chinese tourists9Which can best replace the underlined word “staggering” in the last paragraph?AWorrying.BImportant. CRidiculous. DImpressive.DWhen we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting tastes in music，or pastimes.But now the generation gap is handwriting.After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldnt read the assignments she was writing on the board，she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools.Opponents claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world.Typed words have become a primary form of communication.Once a practical skill handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of Americans.It is no longer taught in schools，and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use，for instance，by teaching the technical skills.But even in todays world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and apply it to paper.Many American institutions still require original signatures，for instance，signing for a registered letter and buying a house.And original signatures are much more difficult to forge (伪造) than their digital counterparts.There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind.It activates a different part of the brain，and improves fine moving skills in young children.People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type，and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas.Besides，studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who dont.Not to mention，handwriting is pleasing，as is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever typed a love letter.And handwriting remains popular as an art form.Yes，we live in a modern world，but we live in a modern world that is based on fundamental values.10What did the teacher find in her class?AHer students had a big generation gap with her.BHer handwriting was too terrible to understand.CSome students could not recognize her handwriting on the blackboard.DSome students handwriting on the blackboard was too difficult to tell.11Why do some people agree to teach handwriting in school?AHandwriting is easy to remember. BHandwriting is beneficial to the brain.CHandwriting can help one buy a house. DHandwriting is an art form out of time.12What can we infer from the passage?AHandwriting is widely used in America.BWhat people write by hand is not easy to fake.CHandwriting is emphasized in our modern society.DThose with good handwriting may perform better in their studies.EFood serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways.Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or cultures celebrations or traditions.The foods we eatand when and how we eat themare often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country.Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness.Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests.Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition has its roots in the custom of sharing bread.Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations.In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year.In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita.A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it.Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role.In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving redcolored eggs to guests.In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity.Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world.13According to the passage, sharing bread_.Aindicates a lack of food Bcan help to develop unityCis a custom unique to rural areas Dhas its roots in birthday celebrations14The author explains the role of food in celebrations by_.Ausing examples Bmaking comparisons Canalyzing causes Ddescribing processes15What is the passage mainly about?AThe custom of sharing food.
