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 thefuture 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?
56．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.

On March 14, math and science lovers around the world celebrated a special day: Pi Day. Pi is equal to about
3.14, but the number goes on endlessly. It is sometimes written in Greek, π. With the help of computers,
mathematicians have been able to calculate pi out to over a trillion decimal (小数) places, but there is still no end to
the number. This makes pi puzzling, even for the most famous scientists and mathematicians. Pi Day is celebrated
around the world on March 14, since how we write this date, 3/14, looks just like the number pi.
For some people, the appeal (吸引力) of Pi Day goes far beyond math and science. Pi shows up throughout
popular culture. You can see it in movies, comics, music and more. “In modern movies, any time the filmmaker
wants to evoke (唤起) a sense of mystery, often the symbol pi is used,” said David Blatner, a Jewish-American
writer of The Joy of Pi.

with fun pi-related games and activities. In 2016, Princeton, New Jersey, held a birthday party for Albert Einstein

How to Deal with Stress
I think it’s important to deal with stress wisely.
When I am not feeling well, I will listen to music or watch some funny movies, because they can make me feel
relaxed and happy. And when I am not good at my lessons, I feel stressed and worried. I often ask my teachers for
help and they can try every means to help me. When I have problems getting on with my friends or my family, I
will calm down and have a talk with them. In addition, I often help my parents with chores around the house such
as sweeping the floor, doing the dishes, and folding clothes. That will build up the relation with my parents.
If you have too much stress in daily life, you should think of ways to deal with it.
