Hey! I’m Peter Brown. In China, we pay for everything with our mobile phones. When I went back home to the UK for a holiday, I had some culture shock in my own country.
Suddenly, I couldn’t use my phone to pay for things. I got out my wallet and went back to using notes and coins.
Of course, we can pay for things with bank cards in the UK, and some use Google Pay on their phones or watches. But most people still use cash. And many are wary of putting too much trust in going electronic with payments.
My parents believe that using digital payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals (犯罪分子). In 2022, more than £4 billion was stolen by fraudsters (诈骗犯) and cybercriminals (网络罪犯) in the UK. In 2022, the online financial (金融的) service website money.co.uk reported a increase in fraud and cybercrime from 2021, and online buying was the biggest source of the thefts (盗窃).
So, the dangers are real. But it seems that mobile or at least digital payments will lead the way in the future in the UK, just as it is here now in China. According to the gov. uk website, the Bank of England is now looking at using a digital pound. But the real question is: Will the British public trust it?
21. Why did the writer have culture shock after returning to the UK?
A. Because most people still use cash to buy things.
B. Because people have to bring a bank card in their wallet.
C. Because people can pay for things with digital payments.
D. Because most people like to use coins more than notes.
22. What can we learn about the writer’s parents?
A. They use Google Pay on their phones or watches.
B. They once lost all their savings to online criminals.
C. They used to work for the website money. co. uk.
D. They don’t trust the digital payment method.
23. In Paragraph 4, we know many British people worry about___________.
A. online buying B. online thefts
C. online financial service D. digital payments
24. What does Peter think of the Bank of England’s idea of “a digital pound”?
A. It will soon become popular.
B. It is what people are hoping for.
C. It is very convenient.
D. It is uncertain (不确信) if British people will want to use it.
25.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Digital Payments in China
B. Cash or Digital Payments in the UK
C. Online Crimes in the UK
D. The Popularity of Google Pay

Different countries have different expressions to show affection(喜爱), In some countries, it is commonfor people to show affection in public places, In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug or kiss in the street, in the park, in restaurants, and even on trains and buses! However, in some countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs don’t allow this, for example, in China and India. So, when Chinese and Indian people visit the United States, they often feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss in the street.
In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female (女性的) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male (男性的) friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most cultures, men don’t kiss or hug when they greet one another.
If you want to take a trip in other countries, it is wise to learn about some of their customs early so that you can behave politely. In this way, you can have a wonderful trip.
