原文呈现
Non-cash payments are becoming increasingly popular,with fewer and fewer people using cash.Instead,they are choosing to make their payments with cards,mobile phones and other electronic devices.What do you think of this?
Non-cash payment is the best way to go.I pay for everything with my smartphone.It only takes a blink of the eye—just scan the barcode and click!And I never have to carry lots of heavy coins or dirty notes,or worry about losing my wallet—for the fourth time!Speaking of “dirty”,do you know that there are more germs on a coin than on a toilet seat?
It might not be safe as you think,as computers and phones can be stolen or hacked easily.I also worry about over-consumption.If I have $20 in my purse,I can only spend up to that amount.But with electronic payments,I can spend again and again,just as long as my bank account has money in it!And what if you’re in a place without Internet access or your phone battery dies?
I agree that there are problems in electronic payments.Despite their convenience people who don’t know how to use electronic payments might feel confused especially the elderly.Perhaps we could talk about using money less often,rather than replacing it for good?

参考范文
Several days ago,our class had a discussion about non-cash payments. Opinions vary on this topic.
Some students think non-cash payments benefit us greatly.First of all,non -cash payments are very convenient for customers because they don’t have to carry cash while going shopping.Besides,non-cash payments help to reduce the time that customers spend on paying.
However,others think it’s easier for senior citizens to pay with cash than with electronic devices.What’s more,non-cash payments are more likely to cause impulsive consumption.
In my opinion,non-cash payments are indeed very convenient for most people.But what matters most is that we should make proper use of it.

Ⅱ.读后续写(共25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·福建省福州市高二下期中)
My mother believed in using things up.Last year,our cornfield had a bad harvest because birds feasted on the crops.It was probably then that Mom’s frugality(节俭) became even more extraordinary.She began keeping everything that seemed useless in the attic(阁楼)—worn-out clothes,old sheets,broken umbrellas,and some other old items.Mom’s favorite saying was “waste not,want not”.My brother Josh and I weren’t sure what that meant until the “Affair of the Scarecrow(稻草人)”,which,as it later became known,left a lasting impression on us.
The story began with a pretty hat that Mom received as a gift to protect her from the sun.However,Josh and I could see that Mom’s frugal nature and fashion sense were in battle.Mom really didn’t want to get rid of the hat—it was new and had a lot of use left in it—but neither could she stand wearing it.She tried to take off the fancy decorations,but they were stuck on tight.She’d have to find some other solution.
Josh and I watched as Mom headed upstairs to the attic with the hat. “Waste not,want not,”she called back down.We heard boxes being moved around.Moments later,Mom leaned out,holding a flour bag full of straw,and with a mysterious smile,she placed the hat on it.
“What is that for?” I asked,confused.“A scarecrow!” Mom exclaimed.“But not a good one yet.It needs a strong body to stand firm in the field,” she said with a frown.“And it doesn’t look scary enough,” Josh remarked.I had to admit that Josh,though younger than I was,could sometimes be more imaginative.Josh and I turned to each other,searching for a good idea.Soon enough,Josh’s eyes lit up with inspiration.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
“Come with me!”Josh called out.______________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next instant,he raced upstairs with lightning speed.I hurried to follow him into the attic,where we began a thorough search.Mom was amused by our excitement when we found the broken umbrellas and used them as the backbone of the scarecrow.After that,we sorted out some old sheets and tied them on.The scarecrow now looked even scarier.We dragged our creation to the cornfield and planted it firmly in the mud,our hearts full of hope.

In the days that followed,the scarecrow stood tall.__________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Serving as a silent guardian,it successfully scared the birds away.Under its watchful eyes,our cornfield flourished this year.To our amazement,Mom’s useless things from the attic had come together to create something extraordinary.As we enjoyed a good harvest,her favorite saying,“waste not,want not”,echoed in our hearts.The “Affair of the Scarecrow” has taught us the value of creatively transforming seemingly useless items into treasure,making us aware that frugality is a good quality after all.
