21、       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 smartphone, 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.

22、In May 1804, Lewis and Clark led the Corps of Discovery to begin the journey on the Missouri River. Lewis’ main job was to lead the men on the ship. And anyway, he needed to make maps of the geography of the unknown land. As for Clark, he usually studied plants and animals along the way.

As the trip continued, one of their men became ill and died. They also had to do their best to find food and stay healthy during the winter months.

However, they did not find one direct (直接的) waterway that could lead boats straight to the Pacific from the Mississippi. Still, the journey was a big success.

23、   Monarch butterflies from eastern Canada make the most amazing journey in the insect world. Each year, this butterfly travels about 3, 000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico. How can it fly so far? And why does it make this long and dangerous trip? Scientists still don’t have an answer.

For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies. For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada. Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.

The length of the butterflies’ trip is only one part of the mystery. Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.

How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation(代) makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.

Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduces(繁衍), and then dies. Each of these generations of butterflies lives for only two or five weeks. In the autumn, the fourth generation of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter there, and in the spring they reproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.

Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly. But they are not clear about everything.

24、   What exactly is persuasion? Persuasion is a process that enables you to change others' attitudes, opinions, or behaviors. When you are watching TV, there are so many advertisements to persuade you to buy their products. When your naughty son does not like to write his homework, you will punish him, which is also a persuasion.

Persuasion is a very important skill nowadays. It is fulfilling everywhere, every time. In many ways, persuasion combines art and science. It's an art in that it requires the ability to establish trust and strong communication skills. It's a science in that it centers on the disciplined collection and analysis of information and solidly researched principles (原则) of human behavior. Persuasion is everywhere, but the effect is very different.

When we persuade, first we should be believable. If someone is an expert in a certain field, his or her speech will be convincing when he or she expresses opinions about this field. It is interesting that if someone's aim is not to affect your opinions, and he or she has no benefit from your decision, this person seems to be more trustful. What's more, we need to be attractive. If we like someone, we will be affected by him or her on some unimportant topics. Even if this person tells us he or she wants to affect, maybe we will also be affected.

The methods of persuasion are necessary too. First you should think wise for choosing your topic. A good topic is a big impact to catch your audience. Then when you have done selecting topics, now it's time to brainstorm how you will have a deep conversation with your audience to give them more ideas about your topics. And think about who your listener is and what they want to know. How will you catch their attention to become more interested in your subject? Next, understanding your audience can help you deliver the right information that is valuable to them. To get your audience, try to add some personal experience in your topics. The way you talk to them expresses your feelings and knowledge, and it really works.

Everyone is trying to persuade someone and being persuaded. So next time you listen to a speech, watch an advertisement, think of persuasion.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer thinks persuasion is an art because ________.

A.they both need skills to achieve B.they both have the same topic

C.they both make the audience laugh D.they both deliver the right information

【2】Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.

A.the meaning of persuasion B.the characteristics of persuaders

C.the importance of persuasion D.the methods of persuaders

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Are Advertisements Worth Trusting? B.Persuasion -The Effects are Different

C.Are Good Topics Important for Persuasion? D.Persuasion -An Important Social Skill
