  Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment-your cell phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.

  In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6, 800 of its stores.This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC)gets into America's consumer electronics.Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.

  Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal-a contact-free system built for speed and convenience.But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction(交易)fees.Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and-pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cell phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale(POS)market.Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业)that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is “to lead the U.S.payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”

  The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security.For instance, what's to stop a thief from digitally pick-pocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone, ” says Jimmy Shah.A mobile-security researcher, “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”

  Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled.Plus, your phone can be password protected.Your wallet isn't.

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

       It is easy to go downhill than to climb uphill. So it is easier to fall into bad habits than to form good ones.

       Bad habits do not come suddenly. They come little by little   without one being aware (知道) of their danger. School children   first pick up little bad habits in school and on the streets. When they can not do their exercises, they copy from their classmates. If they see bigger boys smoking, they want to know what smoking is like and learn to smoke too. If they see their friends gambling   (赌搏), they begin to learn to gamble. When they get bigger the bad   habits become stronger and stronger, so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying, they learn to steal; from gambling, they learn   to cheat. At last nobody will trust them. How necessary it is that we   get rid of any bad habit in the beginning, in order that they should not overcome us in the end.

1. This passage mainly talks about ______.         [  ]   
A. the course of forming habits

2. According to the writer's opinion, we can know that if a child     enjoys gambling he is sure ______ when he grows up.   [  ]   
A. to steal  
B. to kidnap  
C. to cheat  
D. to rob
3. The writer advises children ______ when they are young because    when they are grown-ups_______.             [  ]   
A. to get rid of their bad habits…the bad habits may tempt(诱惑)      them to go wrong   
B. to overcome their bad habits…they'll become heavy smokers   
C. to fight against bad habits…they will be thrown into prison   
D. to fight against bad habits…they will become distrusted by      everyone
4. If a person steals and cheats, he is _______ and he _______                                [  ]   
A. honest…will be trusted by everybody   
B. not honest…will be trusted by nobody   
C. dishonest…will not trusted by his parents   
D. dishonest…will be trusted by his friends
5. The writer thinks ______ necessary ______ to get rid of his bad     habits because it is likely that the bad habits will overcome him     when he ______.                     [  ]   
A. it…for a child…grows up

阅读下列短文, 从所给的四个选项中, 选出最佳答案。

      Teeth can get knocked out in a fall, a fight or an accident, but with quick action the tooth could be saved. Pick the tooth up and, if it is dirty, rinse (冲洗) it in clean, lightly-salted water or clean milk and put it straight back in its place. Do not use disinfectant (消毒剂)! Then—and only then—start looking for a dentist or a dental hospital. The tooth has a very good chance of surviving (生存). A delay, even as little as 30 minutes, reduces the tooth's ability to heal (愈合) back to the gum (牙床).

      A dental expert writing in the "British Dental Journal" says that a knocked-out tooth has 99 percent chance of survival if reinserted (put back in place) quickly. Putting the tooth back can still be useful even if the tooth itself dies. It helps the damaged(损坏的) flesh to heal and stops neighboring teeth moving to fill in the gap (缺口). This makes it easier for the dentist to repair the damage.

1. The article is mainly on ___________.

[  ]

A. how to save a knocked-out tooth  

B. how to look for a?good dentist  

C. the theory that a tooth has a very good chance of surviving

D. the fact that a delay reduces the tooth's ability to heal back   to the gum

2) Put the tooth straight back in its place.

4) Rinse the tooth in clean, lightly-salted water or clean milk.

A. 4-2-3-1  

B. 1-2-3-4  

C. 1-4-3-2  

D. 1-4-2-3

3. When the writer says "A delay, even as little as 30 minutes,      educes the tooth's ability to heal back to the gum." he really   wants to express that ________.

[  ]

A. a knocked-out tooth should be put back after 30 minutes

B. it took us 30 minutes to put a knocked-out tooth back

C. a knocked-out tooth must be found in 30 minutes

D. a knocked-out tooth must be put back as soon as possible

4. From this passage we know that it is easier for the dentist to   repair the damage if the gap _____.

[  ]

A. is too large    

B. is too small  

C. remains the same  

D. is not large enough  

5. In saving a knocked-out tooth, one of the followings is warned not to use. It is __________.
