Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment-your cell phone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.
In January, Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores. This is the first pay-by-phone practice in the U.S., but we’re likely to see more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication (NFC) gets into America’s consumer electronics. Last December, some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.
Already in use in parts of Asia and Europe, NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal – a contact- free system built for speed and convenience. But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U.S., a few problems need to be worked out, like who will get to collect the profitable transaction（交易）fees. Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with wave-and- pay systems that use NFC-enabled credit cards, cell phone service providers may try to muscle their way into the point-of-sale（POS）market. Three big cell phone service providers have formed a joint venture（合資企業(yè)）that will go into operation over the next 15 months. Its goal is “to lead the U.S. payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”
The other big NFC issue, apart from how payments will be processed, is security. For instance, what’s to stop a thief from digitally pick-pocketing you? “We’re still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone,” says Jimmy Shah. A mobile- security researcher, “Users may also be able to set transaction limits, perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchases.”
Still uneasy about this digital-wallet business? Keep in mind that if you lose your smart phone, it can be located on a map and remotely disabled. Plus, your phone can be password protected. Your wallet isn’t.
【小題1】What is predicted to happen in the U.S.?
| A．The expansion of cell phone companies. |
| B．The boom of pay-by-phone business. |
| C．The disappearance of credit cards. |
| D．The increase of Starbucks sales. |
| A．ensure the safety of shoppers |
| B．collect transaction fees easily |
| C．make purchase faster and simpler |
| D．improve the quality of cell phones |
| A．strengthen their relationship |
| B．test the NFC technology |
| C．sell more cell phones |
| D．get a share in the payments industry |
| A．Stop the functioning of their phones. |
| B．Set up a password. |
| C．Get all the money out of their phones. |
| D．Report it to the bank. |

Charles Plumb, a U.S. Naval Academy graduate, was a jet fighter pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was 36 by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb was 37 and spent six years in prison in Vietnam. He survived and now 38 about lessons learned from that experience.
One day, Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant when a man at another table came up and said, "You're Plumb! You 39 jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier (航空母艦) Kitty Hawk . You were 40 !"
"How in the world did you know that?" asked Plumb.
"I 41 your parachute," the man replied. Plumb gasped（倒吸一口氣） in surprise and 42 .The man pumped his hand and said, "I guess it worked!"
Plumb assured him, "It 43 did—if your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today."
Plumb couldn't sleep that night，thinking about that man. He says, "I wondered how many times I might have passed him 44 the Kitty Hawk. I wondered how many times I might have seen him and not even said 'Good morning, how are you', or anything 45 , you see, I was a fighter pilot and he was just a 46 ."
Plumb thought of the many days the sailor had spent on a long wooden table in the bowels（深處）of the ship 47 working on each chute, holding in his hands each time the 48 of someone he didn't know.
Plumb asks his 49 , "Who's packing your 50 ? Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it 51 the day." Plumb also says that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down-he needed his 52 parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these 53 before reaching safety. His experience reminds us all to 54 and be kind to people who pack our daily parachutes, and strengthen us to go through 55 times.
