The Chinese tradition of giving gifts of money in red envelopes at Lunar New Year has turned into big business for Web giants Alibaba and Tencent, which now both offer electronic ＂hong bao＂.
At the end of each lunar year, it is common in China to give children hong bao — some money in envelopes that are red, the colour of success. But now the old also take part in this activity.
It is now possible to exchange ＂red envelopes＂ with smartphones, which is popular in China and has caused a battle(战争) for the lucrative market between the two companies providing the service, Tencent and Alibaba.
＂You don’t have to pay the same cost or wait as long as you would for a traditional bank transfer(转账). It’s more convenient, simple and fun,＂ Wang Le, a 28-year-old Beijinger, told AFP. ＂With electronic red envelopes, you’re not limited by your identity（身份） or the time of year. It’s a new, fresh way of playing the game.＂
The idea was introduced in 2014 by WeChat, a mobile messaging system with over 400 million users and run by Tencent, China’s largest Internet service system. It was successful at once.
This year, Alipay Wallet（阿里支付宝）, the payment system run by Alibaba, is ready to take on the competition. It is allowing its 190 million users to send digital gifts, especially on the Twitter-like Sina Weibo.
For the past few weeks a digital battle has been terrible, with Tencent banning（禁止） Alipay from sending red envelopes on WeChat, saying they were at a risk. Recently, WeChat also blocked(封锁) Alibaba’s music app Xiami.
To attract the public’s attention, the two companies have launched lotteries through which they award red envelopes to users in an online game.
It’s easy to send and receive hong bao or take part in the lotteries: you simply need to register（登记） your bank details.
According to market research group iResearch, Alipay controls 82.6 percent of the Chinese mobile phone payment market, compared to 10 percent for Tencent’s Tenpay.

B. Sending ＂red envelopes＂ through vedios.
C. Sending ＂red envelopes＂ through smart phones.
D. Sending ＂red envelopes＂ through Express.
36. What does the underlined word ＂lucrative＂ mean?

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar(类似的) to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil(土壤）insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts? The ink fish(墨鱼) in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over(散开) , its enemies(敌人) will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
38. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because____________.　　　　　 .
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high
C. locusts are smarter than birds D. locusts can change their color

A. do not have bright colors B. change their colors with the soil
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment D. eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
40. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ＂survive＂ in the passage.
A. 繁殖 B. 产卵 C. 觅食 D. 生存
41. The ink fish_______ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black
C. appears only at night D. hides itself in the sea rocks

But travel does more than all that. It can also make us more creative. In recent years, some professors have been doing r 69 on what many people have already learned from travel experiences. They believe that spending time a 70 has affected people’s mind. For example, they found that the students who lived in foreign countries for a longer period were better at s 71 problems creatively than those who did not. If you stay in the same place, you can’t experience new sights, new smells, new sounds and new cultures. All these can w 72 up your mind and make it more active. H 73 , that doesn’t mean the more places you’ve been, the more creative you’ll become. Another group of professors have been doing s 74 research. They found the people who often travelled from one place to another didn’t have enough time to immerse（使……沉浸）t 75 in a new place and a new culture. They weren’t as creative as the people who spent the time really getting to know a place. You have to interact with the places you go to and then you can benefit from it.

七、阅读与回答问题（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Some parents send their children to the best schools or even to England, the US or Australia, though this costs too much. Many also want their children to learn a musical instrument or ballet that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend a large amount of money on education. Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap. Parents can see that their children’s skills vary(变化); they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children don’t believe in themselves.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study effectively. They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. The result, a well-cooked dinner, will give a child a lot of pleasure and confidence.
An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and interested. If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to repair it; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but they teach them to think, and to use their minds. This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
Title: How Chinese Parents Should 76 Their Children
Common practice
◆ Being 77 with money when it comes to education.
◆ Sending them to the best 78 or abroad.
◆ Taking extra-curriculum activities to have a head start in life.
◆ 79 more money than they can afford on education.
80 results
◆ Children will be lack(缺少) of confidence.
81
◆ Teaching their children practical skills, which are of the greatest 82 .
Cooking.
Sewing.
Other 83 .
Repairing a broken radio or TV.
Good results
◆ To make the children hard-working, 84 and confident.
◆ To enable(使……能够) them to 85 and to use their minds.
