UNIT 4 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 It has been two months since I moved to China, but its digital advancement hasn't stopped impressing me ever since. One of the major things that I cannot imagine living without anymore is mobile payment. There are two major mobile payment apps here, Alipay and WeChat Pay. Both have similar payment features, though WeChat is more like a social media. That's why I will focus on this “super app”． So far, I've been overwhelmed by how efficient life can be with WeChat. It is present in every aspect of people's daily life, from paying water and electricity bills, meals, cinema tickets to calling a taxi, following news, and chatting with friends. Most merchants have adopted it, from tiny local street food stalls to high-end (高端的) stores. A cashier may be surprised if you do not pay with WeChat or Alipay at the grocers or in restaurants. And it seems like the entire payment industry has encouraged this shift to mobile payment, equipping payment terminals with QR code scanners to simplify payments. Mobile payments are so common here that I realize that I can perfectly survive if I forget my wallet at home one day because most days I just don't take it out of my bag! As mentioned earlier, WeChat is also a major social media platform with about one billion daily users, which is more than the entire population of European Union. So I have to say Chinese technological and digital development is a real miracle. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者在中国体验到微信和支付宝移动支付普及所带来的便捷性，作者感叹中国的科技和数字技术发展是一个真正的奇迹。 1．What does the underlined word “overwhelmed” mean in Paragraph 2?
