What is PayQuick?
PayQuick is a fast payment service for shopping in the biggest supermarket in UK — Tesco. It allows you to
add your credit or debit card details to the app so you can use your smartphone to pay for your shopping with just
one scan, which means you can go wallet-free in all UK Tesco stores.
What are the benefits?
●Collect your Tesco points automatically
●Pay for your weekly shopping up to £250
●Use PayQuick offline, even with no signal
●Track your spending in Tesco
However, only one qualifying deal per week will collect the extra Tesco points. Additional payments in the
same week won't receive extra points. Tesco points will be added to your future Tesco points statement.
How to get your PayQuick?
Available to new customers who sign up by 3rd March 2024, the PayQuick app can be downloaded from the
App Store or our official website. Once you have the app on your phone, register your personal details on the app
to get an account. Note that for each customer, only one account is allowed and a family shared account will not
be acknowledged. Finally, with all the preparation work done, you'll be ready to shop using just your phone.
Plus, there's no need to worry about your bank details being stored on your phone — they’re all securely
protected in our data centers. So not only is it quicker and easier, it’s safer than going shopping with your wallet as
well.

A. purchase things only offline B. get their Tesco points automatically

Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.
My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses
of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hike through the forest to find a perfect spot. But after
we became parents, we did this for our children. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to
travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural
world, available to all.
Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising
—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon
came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates
no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon's face change?” Bryce
asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the
moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I
explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our
eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.
Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they
would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time
I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.
To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens.
24. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Going on a hike through the forest.
B. Taking a walk under the full moon.
C. Watching magic shows every month.
D. Traveling far from home for adventure.
25. What can we learn from their family outing?
A. The kids were reluctant to participate.
B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.
C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.
D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.
26. Which of the following best describes the parents?
A. Creative and faithful. B. Selfless and brave.
C. Inspiring and generous. D. Insightful and patient.
27. What does the story convey to the readers?
A. Life is what you make it. B. Every cloud has a silver lining.
C. Nature is the best teacher. D. God helps those who help themselves.
C
As humanity has got richer, animal's roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer
wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine ( 内燃机 ) made
horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals
are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular,
as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.
The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more
money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables.
Pet food shelves are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods
for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.
In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of
the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella,
Lucy, and Max.
