Cash of all kinds, the French franc, the German mark, and the Italian lira, is bound to disappear physically. The paper notes and gold coins may soon become curious collections of the pre-electronic age. Digital money can replace every use of cash money. It is true that electronic money has been around for decades. Each week billions of institutional dollars flow through the Interbank Payment System through telephone wires and satellite links. But in the 21st century, entirely new forms of digital money - including electronic cash and \most personal financial trade. What a great change this will be! Digital credit cards, smart cards, electronic wallets and electronic checks will change our way of life in the 21st century. They are efficient and easy to use. Customers will not take money with them when they go shopping. They will pay their'bills from a smart cell phone or they will buy their coffee by using a digital credit card. How convenient it will be!

And how easily people will do their shopping in such a way!

With so many changes these days, the Internet will help speed up the end of cash. In Europe, some banks have been offering people electronic cash since late last year. Customers can withdraw money from their accounts through the bank's website and store their incomes on their home PCs. As the electronic cash is downloaded, the customers' bank accounts are recorded. Since customers can use electronic cash to buy things on the Internet, electronic cash will transform the Internet into a

global marketplace for everything. It is going to have a very big impact on our lives. The low cost of computer and communications has created a worldwide medium not just

for finance, but also for many other things in our life. The Age of Internet has brought e-businesses to our life, which perhaps will form the backbone of our economy. Mom and Pop can go global - all from the comfort of their easy chairs. Citizens will have access to e-government with its website offering a wide range of governmental information, policy andservices.

Racing into the 21st Century, people all over the world are building up a series of IT projects, which is surely a part of the global future. People all over the world have been working for a brilliant future for centuries and it now seems the dream mislht come true verv soon 31. The main point of the first paragraph in this passage is

A. the value of the paper notes and gold coins will lie in collections B. elec.tronic money has been around for decades

C. entire new forms of digital money will replace cash money D. cash of all kinds is bound to disappear slowly 32. The advantage of digital money is A. it is efficient and easy to use

B. it will change our way of life in the 21st century C. it can replace every use of cash money D. people will do their shopping very easily

33. What is NOT true about the electronic cash, accorcling to the passage?

A. It will turn the Internet into a global marketplace where one can buy everything. B. The electronic cash can be downloaded and the money withdrawn is recorded. communications has created a worldwide medium not j.ust for finance...\worldwide medium\
