    In many places, if you do not take your wallet with you, you'll be in trouble. This is especially true in overseas airports when you want to pay for food or gifts. Luckily you can now pay without your wallet in some overseas airports.

    It's announced on Sept 26 that Chinese tourists can use the third party payment Alipay at ten airports across the world. The 10 airports are in Germany, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand, Thailand and China's Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macao.

Digital wallets like Alipay, WeChat and Apple Pay have brought big changes to our lives.

    In April, CNN reporter Will Ripley spent a day in Beijing without his wallet. "In China's largest cities, you can definitely (肯定地) survive without carrying a pocket full of money and credit cards — as long as you've got your smart-phone," he wrote. "From small shops to large stores, a huge number of businesses in Beijing accept mobile payments."

    He paid for breakfast by scanning (扫描) a QR code on the window of a restaurant. All he had to do was enter a password.

    Then he also used his phone to pay for movie tickets, buy takeout food, order goods for delivery and hail a taxi.

    But, there is also concern about the safety of the digital wallets. "Don't think the largest payment technology has solved all of its security problems." commented Fox News.

①Feelings are difficult to do with, especially for a 4-year-old who doesn't know why his mum won't let him eat another cookie and an 8-year-old who is unhappy that his dad got called back to work and has to leave the playground early.

②For parents, it's very important to begin teaching kids about their feelings as early as possible because their feelings influence(影响) every choice they make. Kids who understand their feelings are less probably act out by getting angry or fighting with others. They can use clear sentences to express their feelings.

③A good way to help kids deal with feelings is to discuss the different feelings how different roles in TV series may feel. When watching TV a parent could stop and ask the kid, "How do you think he feels right now?" Then, discuss the feelings that person may experience and the reasons.

④Doing so also teaches empathy. Young children think the world centers around them, so it can be an experience for them to learn other people have feelings too. When young children can understand other people's feelings, they are less likely to do bad things to them. For example, if a child knows that pushing his friend to the ground may make his friend mad and sad, he will do so less.

⑤Teaching a kid about feelings will help him become mentally(精神上)strong. Kids who have the skills to deal with their feelings will be so confident that they can handle(处理) whatever they meet in their life.

 根据短文内容)从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项选出最佳选项。

In spring 2021, Battersea Arts Centre, a venue(地点)in southwest London, introduced "pay what you can" for all its shows. The reason is simple—they believe that everyone should be able to be a part of the great work, regardless of(不管) their ability to pay. Should all shows be "paid what you can"?

Some supporters believe it's a good idea. In the 17th century when Shakespeare was writing his plays, everyone went to the theatre. The cheapest ticket in London was one penny. This is how shows should be open to everyone, no matter how much they earn. Paying what you can is in the spirit of Shakespeare's time, and it opens the arts to all. It also shows that many art venues are a type of charity(慈善机构) that provide public benefits and spread culture. That doesn't mean the show isn't good. 

However, this idea makes some people worried and some opponents(反对者) are against it. Society expects art for free—free art shows, free music, free videos. ____ For some people "pay what you can" would mean "pay what you want to"—nothing. It is expensive to put on a show. If the audience want to see a good show, they should pay a part of what it costs to put on. A survey by Arts Professional magazine found that many people a-void shows not because they are too expensive but be-cause they don't think they will enjoy themselves. Art venues should focus on making the best shows they can, and price the tickets to reflect the quality(质量).

①Some people think that we aren't really able to form memories before our fourth or fifth birthdays. But scientists say this is untrue. They think we form memories at a very young age. However, the memories seem to change as we get older.

②Researchers in Newfoundland, Canada, interviewed 140 children aged between 4 and 13. First, they asked the children to describe their earliest memory and tell their ages. Next, they asked their parents to make sure the event actually happened. All the answers were recorded. The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again," What's your earliest memory?"

③Nearly all the children were aged between 4 and 7 in the first interview. They said something very different in the second interview. However, many of the children who were between 10 and 13 at the first interview described exactly the same memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but at around the age of ten, they make the things that we remember fixed.

④The researchers are now looking into why children remember certain events and not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about very stressful things that happened to us as children, because bad things stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful things were only a small part of what the children said they remembered. More often, children's early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out the reasons. We can surely look forward to more fascinating discoveries about memories in the near future.
