Passage 1
A few days ago my wife sent me out to buy something. When I came home, I handed her a paper bag and said, "Here are the apples you wanted. " She looked in the bag, and then she looked at me. "I told you, " she said slowly, "to buy some eggs. "    I felt worried about my absent-mindedness (心不在焉, 健忘), so I went to see a doctor. He was a very kind man. " I have seen many people like you. It's nothing to worry about, " he said. "If you know you are absent-minded, you are all right. But if you do not know you're absent-minded, you may be really in trouble. "    "Many famous people were absent-minded, " the doctor told me. "Thomas Edison was standing in line one day to pay his taxes. When he arrived at the window, he found that he had forgotten his own name. He had to ask the man who was behind him to tell him who he was. "    I felt much better and got up to leave. "Thank you, doctor, " I said. "How much do I have to pay you? "    "Ten dollars for the check-up, " the doctor said.    "But doctor, I did not have a check-up!"    For a moment the doctor looked pu
zzled. Then he said, "Oh, yes, it was the patient before you who had a check-up. How absent-minded I am!"

Passage 2
    More and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods. The rapid development of third-party mobile payment tools is helping to develop cashless payments across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.    China is not the first country to use cashless payment. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also witnessing (见证) that increase.    However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there are no challenges or criticisms. Alibaba's Hema store, where customers can shop, dine and order food for delivery from their mobile phones via Alipay, have come into the spotlight recently. It's reported that consumers can't buy goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal (违法的) .    Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation's two major third-party mobile payment tools, also encourage more customers to use cashless payment methods, which caused concerned over whether cash will soon disappear.    "Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash, which affects the natural circulation (循环)    of RMB, " said Dong. He emphasized that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. As the economy grows, the circulation of cash is still very huge, noted Dong. Al
so, it's important to remember that nearly half of China's population live in the countryside, who are unable to enjoy innovation (革新) brought by the Internet, Dong said. Besides, most of the elderly are used to pay in cash in their daily lives.    "There's no need to question the role that mobile payment plays in economic development. In the long term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and businessmen should respect their payment habits, " Dong noted.
