Jimmy Woodard is a high school student from Manchester, the USA.When Jimmy was very young, his parents realized he had a special talent. While other children were playing with toys, Jimmy would take his toys apart to find out how they worked. But Jimmy's talent really became obvious when he started using computers. Jimmy was only six when he started using his parents' computer. That's not so unusual these days. However, in Jimmy's case, if he had a problem with the computer, he thought about how to fix it by himself!
When Jimmy was in the fifth grade, his technology teacher gave him a computer to work on. Jimmy took the computer apart and put it back together again. Since then, Jimmy has been working with computers in his school, even helping teachers with their technology problems.
When he was fourteen, Jimmy decided to open his own technology consulting（咨询）company. Since that time, he's brought in about 200 usual customers.

But I'm trying to save the rest of it for college.” As for his future, Jimmy explained, “I don't know what I want to do yet. I know I want to do something with computers. But I'm interested in a lot of different things. I'd like to live in a big city someday. I can't wait to see what happens next.”

I can't remember the last time I used cash in China.Between WeChat and Alipay, 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 electronically in the UK. People use their bank cards. 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 are two of these wary people. They believe that using electronic payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals. The concern is understandable. In 2022, more than 4 billion was stolen by fraudsters（诈骗犯） and cybercriminals（网络罪犯） in the UK. In its 2022 fraud and cybercrime report, the online financial（金融的）service comparison website money.co.uk reported a 63 percent increase in fraud and cybercrime from 2021. Online buying was the biggest source of the thefts，said Computer Weekly.
So, the dangers are real. But still, 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
66.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't pay for things electronically.
D. Because most people like to use coins more than notes.
67.What may the underlined word “wary” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Aware. B. Careful. C. Sure. D. Proud.
68.What's the main concern of many British people about using electronic payments
A. Forgetting their passwords often.
B. Losing their savings to online thieves.
C. Paying extra money for this service.
D. Having to keep a network connection.
69.What does the author 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 risky and not practical.
D. It is uncertain if people will want to use it.
E
Do you compare yourself to other people Perhaps your best friend received something you really wanted for your birthday, or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are normal and can sometimes be helpful, focusing on your own progress is important for your happiness.
Why does focusing on me matter “We prefer to compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says psychologist (心理学家) Nicola Abbott. “But comparing your achievements to your past self (where you started) and your future self (where you'd like to get to) can be more positive (积极的).” This can make you feel proud of what you've achieved and excited about what you might do. Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus agrees and says that focusing on your own goals is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.
Do comparisons make you unhappy Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing. It can help us to find our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to be realistic (务实的) and remember that nobody is perfect, especially online and on social media. Taking notes of how the comparison is making you feel matters, too.
If you begin to feel quite low, Abbott suggests choosing a different role model or focusing on your own strengths and what you're good at. Antrobus agrees. She says that asking yourself questions like “What am I good at ” “What do I feel proud of ” and “What improvements can I notice ” can help to improve your self-esteem (how positive you feel about yourself).
“Jealousy (忌妒) is an ordinary feeling,” says Antrobus, “but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel just as successful. Besides, learning to celebrate your friend's achievements can help not only to improve your friend's feeling but can also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each other up.”
70.According to Nicola Abbott, it is better to compare _________.
A. yourselves to others who are doing worse
B. your own past and future achievements
C. yourselves to others who often laugh at you
D. your failures with your past self and future self
71.What result can unrealistic comparisons have, as mentioned in the article
A. They always lead to greater success.
B. They create long-time happiness and joy.
C. They may result in feelings of unhappiness.
D. They have little influence on your goals.
72.The purpose of the last paragraph is to suggest ________.
A. not arguing with those successful people
B. not minding the feeling of being jealous
C. trying to do better than those around you
D. learning to congratulate friends on the progress

Some rich and beautiful ladies were sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying their picnic. When they were washing their hands and feet in the clean water, they saw their reflections(倒影).
Seeing their reflection in the water, they started to praise their own beauty. One of them said, “How beautiful my hands are!” Another woman said her hands were even more beautiful. A third one said the same thing. Soon, an argument broke out among them.
They saw an old woman passing by. She was walking with the help of a stick and her clothes were dirty. Seeing her, one lady suggested asking the old woman about whose hands were the most beautiful. They all agreed. When the old woman came near, they showed her their hands and asked, “Who has the most beautiful hands ” The old woman said, “I am hungry and thirsty. Give me something to eat and then I will answer you.” They refused and asked her to go away.
A poor woman saw all this. She went to the old woman and made her sit comfortably. She opened her lunch box and shared her food and water. Then she helped wash the old woman's hands and feet, while giving great comfort to her. After the old woman felt a little better, she went back to those rich ladies. Pointing to that poor woman, she said, “She has the most beautiful hands.” All the ladies laughed. “What do you know about beauty ” The old woman replied, “Beautiful hands belong to those who do good and serve the people who need help.”

I can't remember the last time I used cash in China.Between WeChat and Alipay, 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 electronically in the UK. People use their bank cards. 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 are two of these wary people. They believe that using electronic payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals. The concern is understandable. In 2022, more than 4 billion was stolen by fraudsters（诈骗犯） and cybercriminals（网络罪犯） in the UK. In its 2022 fraud and cybercrime report, the online financial（金融的）service comparison website money.co.uk reported a 63 percent increase in fraud and cybercrime from 2021. Online buying was the biggest source of the thefts，said Computer Weekly.
So, the dangers are real. But still, 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
66.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't pay for things electronically.
D. Because most people like to use coins more than notes.
67.What may the underlined word “wary” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Aware. B. Careful. C. Sure. D. Proud.
68.What's the main concern of many British people about using electronic payments
A. Forgetting their passwords often.
B. Losing their savings to online thieves.
C. Paying extra money for this service.
D. Having to keep a network connection.
69.What does the author 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 risky and not practical.
D. It is uncertain if people will want to use it.
【答案】C、B、B、D
【解析】文章讲述了作者在中国时手机支付很流行，而在英国支付方式仍以现金为主，原因是网络诈骗盛行，但在未来的英国手机支付也有可能成为大势所趋。
66.细节理解题。根据第一段Suddenly，I couldn't use my phone to pay for things.I got out my wallet and went back to using notes and coins.（突然，我不能用手机支付东西了。我拿出钱包，又开始使用纸币和硬币。）可知是因为人们不能用电子方式支付。故选C。
67.词义猜测题。根据第三段My parents are two of these wary people.They believe that using electronic payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals.（我父母就是这种____的人。他们认为，使用电子支付可能会导致他们的全部积蓄被网上罪犯窃取。）可推知此处意为我父母就是这种小心翼翼的人。他们认为，使用电子支付可能会导致他们的全部积蓄被网上罪犯窃取。所以B项与划线词同义。故选B。
68.细节理解题。根据第三段They believe that using electronic payments could lead to their whole savings being stolen by online criminals.The concern is understandable. （他们认为，使用电子支付可能会导致他们的全部积蓄被网上罪犯窃取。这种担忧是可以理解的。）可知英国人对于使用电子支付方式最主要的担心是他们害怕网络诈骗犯骗走他们的积蓄。故选B。
69.推理判断题。根据第四段But still，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.（但尽管如此，移动支付或至少是数字支付似乎将在英国引领未来，就像现在在中国一样。）可推知作者用了"似平；有可能"，即一种不确定性，可以推断出作者也不确定人们在末来是否会接受英国银行推出的使用数字支付的想法，与C项表达的意思相吻合。故选D。

Do you compare yourself to other people Perhaps your best friend received something you really wanted for your birthday, or you're not allowed to go to a concert but your brother or sister is. Even though comparisons are normal and can sometimes be helpful, focusing on your own progress is important for your happiness.
Why does focusing on me matter “We prefer to compare ourselves to others who are doing better or not as well as ourselves.” says psychologist (心理学家) Nicola Abbott. “But comparing your achievements to your past self (where you started) and your future self (where you'd like to get to) can be more positive (积极的).” This can make you feel proud of what you've achieved and excited about what you might do. Child psychologist Laverne Antrobus agrees and says that focusing on your own goals is more worthwhile than always trying to come out on top.
Do comparisons make you unhappy Comparing yourself to those around you is natural and we often do it without realizing. It can help us to find our achievements and to form friendships with new people who have similar interests. However, it's important to be realistic (务实的) and remember that nobody is perfect, especially online and on social media. Taking notes of how the comparison is making you feel matters, too.
If you begin to feel quite low, Abbott suggests choosing a different role model or focusing on your own strengths and what you're good at. Antrobus agrees. She says that asking yourself questions like “What am I good at ” “What do I feel proud of ” and “What improvements can I notice ” can help to improve your self-esteem (how positive you feel about yourself).
“Jealousy (忌妒) is an ordinary feeling,” says Antrobus, “but focusing on improving your own performance can help you feel just as successful. Besides, learning to celebrate your friend's achievements can help not only to improve your friend's feeling but can also help you feel good. It will encourage you to build each other up.”
70.According to Nicola Abbott, it is better to compare _________.
A. yourselves to others who are doing worse
B. your own past and future achievements
C. yourselves to others who often laugh at you
D. your failures with your past self and future self
71.What result can unrealistic comparisons have, as mentioned in the article
A. They always lead to greater success.
B. They create long-time happiness and joy.
C. They may result in feelings of unhappiness.
D. They have little influence on your goals.
72.The purpose of the last paragraph is to suggest ________.
A. not arguing with those successful people
B. not minding the feeling of being jealous
C. trying to do better than those around you
D. learning to congratulate friends on the progress
【答案】B、C、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文主要说明比较的意义，作者强调关注自己的进步对自身的幸福很重要。
70. 根据“But comparing your achievements to your past self (where you started) and your future self (where you'd like to get to) can be more positive.”可知，Nicola Abbott认为把你的成就与过去的自己和未来的自己进行比较是积极的，即最好对现在的自己，过去的自己，未来的自己进行比较，故选B。
71. 根据“Do comparisons make you unhappy ”及“However, it's important to be realistic (务实的) and remember that nobody is perfect, especially online and on social media.”可以推断，比较要务实，如果不切实际的去比较，会给人带来不愉快的感受，故选C。
72. 根据“Besides, learning to celebrate your friend's achievements can help not only to improve your friend's feeling but can also help you feel good.”可推断，这段的写作目的是学会祝贺朋友的成就，故选D。

Some rich and beautiful ladies were sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying their picnic. When they were washing their hands and feet in the clean water, they saw their reflections(倒影).

They saw an old woman passing by. She was walking with the help of a stick and her clothes were dirty. Seeing her, one lady suggested asking the old woman about whose hands were the most beautiful. They all agreed. When the old woman came near, they showed her their hands and asked, “Who has the most beautiful hands ” The old woman said, “I am hungry and thirsty. Give me something to eat and then I will answer you.” They refused and asked her to go away.
A poor woman saw all this. She went to the old woman and made her sit comfortably. She opened her lunch box and shared her food and water. Then she helped wash the old woman's hands and feet, while giving great comfort to her. After the old woman felt a little better, she went back to those rich ladies.
