    While the U.S. is still debating about getting rid of the penny, Sweden is rapidly moving towards abolishing currency altogether. Though this may sound radical(过激的), it is a natural evolution in this digital society.

    Sweden, which was the first European country to introduce banknotes in 1661, has just been working harder to convince its residents that digital payments are a safer alternative to carrying cash.

    Over the years, the idea has gained popularity with residents, especially the younger generation that is much more comfortable with technology. Today many banks don’t even have ATMs and some have stopped handling cash altogether!

    Tickets to ride public buses in most Swedish cities can only be purchased via cell phones. Numerous businesses are also moving towards accepting only digital payments. Even the homeless that sell street paper to make ends meet have to start accepting this mode of payment!

    But despite its growing popularity, some people don’t like this radical idea. They include the homeless, elderly people as well as those living in rural areas who are still uncomfortable with mobile phones and computers. But the officials are confident that in the very near future, they will be able to convince everyone to move this safe and more cost-effective payment system.

    Sweden is not the only country trying to abolish paper currency and coins. The movement is rapidly gaining ground in Denmark and Finland as well. In 2014, Israel announced a three-step plan to go cashless and just last week the vendors(小贩)of a popular street in Sydney declared they would stop accepting currency from customers. Whether this phenomenon spreads remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure—With increasingly advanced payment systems being introduced every day, pulling out cash is rapidly becoming “uncool”.

    1.What can we infer from Paragraph 3 and 4?

    A. Many banks in Sweden don’t have ATMs.

    B. You don’t have to buy tickets when riding buses.

    C. People don’t give the homeless money but food.

    D. People can just take cell phones when shopping.

    2.According to the passage, which information is RIGHT?

    A. Sweden was the first country to get the idea to abolish currency.

    B. The younger generation is opposed to the measures.

    C. Bus fare can only be purchased via cell phones in most Swedish cities.

    D. Banks in Sweden have stopped dealing with cash completely.

    3.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

    A. An Advanced Country –Sweden

    B. A Controversial Government Policy

    C. Sweden to Influence the World’s Cash Payment

    D. Sweden to Become the World’s First Cashless Society

    4.Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?

    A. Education.

    B. Economy.

    C. Travel.

    D. Insurance.

    3．My dad loved pennies，especially those with the elegant stalk（茎） of wheat curving around each side of the ONE CENT on the back．Those were the pennies he grew up with during the Depression．
    As a kid，I would go for walks with Dad，spying coins along the way-a penny here，a dime（一角硬币） there．Whenever I picked up a penny，he'd ask，"Is it a wheat？"It always thrilled him when we found one of those special coins produced between 1909and 1958，the year of my birth．
    One gray Sunday morning in winter，not long after my father's death in 2002，I was walking down Fifth Avenue，feeling bereft．I found myself in front of the church where Dad once worked．I was warmly shown in and led to a seat．Hearing Dad's favorite"A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"，I burst into tears．We'd sung that at his funeral．
    After the service，I shook the pastor's（牧师） hand and stepped onto the sidewalk-and there was a penny．I bent to pick it up，turned it over，and sure enough，it was a wheat．A 1944，a year my father was serving on a ship in the South Pacific．
    That started it．Suddenly wheat pennies began turning up on the sidewalks of New York everywhere．I got most of the important years：his birth year，my mom's birth year，the year he graduated from college，the year he met my mom，the year they got married，the year my sister was born．But alas，no 1958wheat penny-my year，the last year they were made．
    The next Sunday，after the service，I was walking up Fifth Avenue and spotted a penny in the middle of a crossing．Oh，no，it was a busy street；cabs were speeding by-should I risk it？I just had to get it．
    A wheat!But the penny was worn，and I couldn't read the date．On arriving home，I took out my glasses and took it to the light．There was my birthday!
    I found 21wheat pennies on the streets of Manhattan in the year after my father died，and I don't think that's a coincidence．

    66．The writer's father loved pennies with wheat becauseB．
    A．when he first saw it，he began to love it
    B．when he saw the wheat，he thought of his time during the Depression
    C．when he was young，he had a lot of pennies with wheat
    D．when he was a child，he never got a coin with wheat
    67．The underlined word"bereft"（in Para.3）meansC．
    A．protested   B．disappointed   C．grieved   D．offended
    68．Which of the following statements about the author is NOT true？C
    A．He was born in 1958．
    B．He went to church because of his father．
    C．He once worked in a church．
    D．He knew the church well．
    69．The best title for the passage would probably beA．
    A．Pennies from Heaven  
    B．My father's life story
    C．My father's hobby  
    D．Living in New York．
