I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here. ◈Where did the writer study for a year? A. In the UK B. In China C. In the USA D. In Australia 38 2 Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 20-minute ride cost me an arm and a leg — 4.80 pounds! ◈Did the writer really give an arm and a leg for the ride? Why did she say so? No, she didn't. Because the ride was very expensive. It cost her 4.80 pounds for just 20 minutes. 39 3 In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash. ◈Why couldn't the writer pay with her phone? A. Her phone was broken. B. The shop didn't know QR codes and didn't support digital payment. C. She had no money in her wallet. 40 4 When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone-cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven. I felt tired and hungry. ◈Why did she have to heat the food? Because the food was stone-cold after such a long wait. 41 5 Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life! ◈Why does the writer want to go back to China? Because the technology in China lets her live a more convenient life. 42 What three "digital shocks" did she meet? 1. Shared bike Hard to find a bike. A 20-minute ride cost 4.80 pounds! 2. Payment Shopkeeper didn't know QR codes. Had to go home for cash. 3. Delivery Food took 90 minutes. Arrived stone-cold and needed re-heating. 43 Think & Talk: Is technology always convenient? Q1. In China, we pay by phone everywhere. Is that always a good thing? What problems might digital payment cause? Q2. If you go to a foreign country, what should you do to prepare for "digital shock"? No, it isn’t always good. We may meet trouble when our phone has no power. And it’s difficult for the old. I should learn about the local payment ways. I need to take some cash with me. I can also download the local useful apps before I go. 44 04 Exercise 45 Choose another suitable title for the passage. a Shared bikes for you and me b Shopping online in the UK c A day of digital problems 46 ________________ ________________ The writer’s digital shock in the UK It _____________ to find one.
