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

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

When Dr.Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.

Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972. Amboseli was a good place for Dr.McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.

Dr.McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling(困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing(區(qū)別) calls of friends from those of strangers.

What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor(因素) of importance: The “smartest” families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signal(信號) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.

That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

回答下面5個問題，每題答案不超過5個詞。

1.How do scientists working in the park study elephants?

_________________

2.What did Dr.McComb study?

_________________

3.What did Dr.McComb and her team do for an explanation?

_________________

4.Who does everyone in elephant families listen to?

5.What does an elephant family depend on in all the activities?

Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east Could the children in poor rural (農(nóng)村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.

In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger. China’s Nutrition(營養(yǎng))Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.

It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education(2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90%students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.

Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重點的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10%in 2017.

With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced(均衡的) education in the future.

A. ①②；③④；⑤ B. ①；②③；④⑤

C. ①；②③④；⑤ D. ①②；③；④⑤
