26、o the Chicago to Marathon. The train was full of excited marathoners. He took a seat next to a fellow runner and began chatting. Before long, La Pierre noticed a man who seemed to be homeless moving from passenger to passenger, asking for spare change. That struck LaPierre as “really uncommon,” espe

27、cially the way he stared down anyone he felt hadnt given him enough. At the Cumberland station, several stops before the one for the marathon, most of the passengers suddenly escaped from the car. LaPierre, surprised, rushed out to see what was going on, only to hear frightened people shouting that

28、the man asking for money was, in fact, armed and robbing(抢劫) people. Just then, the armed man himself exited the train car and went to the next one. LaPierre followed him. “I could not walk away knowing there were children and people just trying to get to a race,” he says. The man was standing in th

29、e middle of the car when he turned and saw LaPierre, his head down, bull-rushing him.

C Going cashless or not After saving up your allowance, you finally have enough money to buy that toy, game, or piece of clothing youve been dreaming of. You go to the store and find the item. But when you get

35、the register to pay, you see a sign: “Hello! Weve gone cashless.” Situations like this may become common if more stores and restaurants stop accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit or debit card, or by smartphone app. Many business owners believe that getting rid of cash

36、 has helped them streamline(使效率更高) the way their business runs. Staff members dont have to worry about having enough money in the register to make change or about delivering bills and coins to the bank. But a growing number of people think that cashless stores are unfair. According to the Federal De

37、posit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States dont have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, dont meet the requirements for a credit card. “A cash-less economy is not an inclusive(范围广泛的) economy,” Tazra Mitchell told National Public Radio. Shes a polic

38、y director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute. In her opinion, cashless stores are “essentially discriminating (歧视) against people”. Plus, people who do have debit and credit cards might prefer paying with cash. “Cash is still very popular with consumers,” Nick Bourke said. Hes a director at the Pew

39、Charitable Trusts consumer finance project. “Its used by almost eight in ten adults in the US every month. Thats more than any other payment type.” Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities, including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,

40、have already passed laws to address the issue. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed in May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. He works for the city. “Its really about fairness,” Re

41、mski said. “Its about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.” 43. Whats the major function of paragraph 1? A. To describe a memorable experience. B.

43、s and households. D. A research done by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. 46. Whats the aim of the law passed in May? A. To ban illegal trade. B. To ban cashless stores. C.

44、n. Mom worked hard at her job from morning till eveningbut not before sending us off to school early with our not-so-heavy bags and our lunch boxes with simple, wholesome meals. Even though we went through tough times, providing my sister and I with the best possible education remained a big priorit

45、y for our mother. Education before everything else was her belief, even though it meant most of her hard-earned money was spent paying our school fees. We were always careful and economical, but somehow we never felt a sense of deprivation (贫困) in our lives. Life for us moved at this easy, contented

46、 pace until, of course, our birthdays approached. Honestly, I did not look forward to the gifts as much as I did sharing Moms handmade chocolates, wrapped(被包裹) in shiny, colorful paper, with my classmates. Fifteen minutes before lunch, our teacher would allow us to distribute the candy. And out came

47、 the box from its hiding place under my books-and with a smile on my face and a happy heart, I would hand over two chocolates each to my friends. Then, I would rush out of the room just to enjoy the pleasure of hearing them open up the wrappers and the mouth-watering chocolates in pure delight. They

48、 would then ask me if there were a few more until I ran out of these treats entirely. Year after year, I followed the same ritual(仪式)and it pleased me to no end each time I heard my friends say that these chocolates were unlike any they had ever tasted. The years passed by, and as our kids grew up, they too gifted chocolates to their friends at school on their birthdays. However, none of the chocolates I offered to my child could match what Mom
