二、听力原文

【Conversation one】

M: Lisa, why did you pay for your meal with cash instead of the payment apps on your phone?

W: Well, I’ve gone back to cash. I’m only using payment apps if that’s the only option. [8]I am trying to save money for a new phone. And I find that using cash rather than payment apps helps me to save.

M: But how? Money is money, isn’t it? I don’t think it matters whether you take it out of the bank and put it in your wallet will simply transfer from your bank account to the seller’s bank account using an app.

W: No, I believe it does matter. It’s a psychological phenomenon. [9] I believe we have less connection with the value of our money when we just have the approved buttons on our phones.

M: You might have a point. Since I stopped carrying cash around and started using my phone apps to pay, [10] I may have developed a tendency to buy more small or nonessential items.

W: That’s highly possible. Think about the amount of time we spend with our phones in our hands and all the things we do with our phones. It sometimes seems that our phone is buying the product for us, not ourselves.

M: [11] So cashless payment affects our ability to budget?

W: I believe so. If we spend a hundred yuan in cash, we realize that we don’t have that hundred yuan to spend on something else. But if we’re spending electronically, we are less likely to make that mental calculation.

M: I stopped using my credit card because I found out spending excessively, perhaps I should take the same approach of paying using my phone.

W: It’s worth considering.

Questions 8 to 11 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

【翻译】

丽莎，你吃饭为什么要用现金买单，不用手机上的支付软件呢？

这个啊，因为我又用回现金了。

只有在万不得已的情况下我才用支付软件。

我正在为买新手机存钱，

我发现，不用支付软件，用现金的话能帮我省钱。

但是怎么省呢？

钱就是钱，不是吗？

我觉得，不管是从银行把钱取出来放钱包里，

还是用软件直接把钱从你的银行账户转给商家的银行账户都是一样的啊。

不，我觉得不一样。

这个涉及一个心理方面的问题。

我觉得，只需在手机上点一下同意按钮的话，我们对钱的价值的感知会变弱。

你说得似乎也有理，

自从我不再随身携带现金，开始转用手机支付以后，

我可能已经养成了乱买很多非必需的小东西的习惯了。

很有可能，想想，我们有多少时间是随身带着手机的，

还有我们用手机做的各种事情。

有时候就感觉决定买某个产品的不是我们自己，而是我们的手机。

那现金付款是会影响我们支出预算的能力是吗？

我觉得是。

如果我们花了一百块的现金，

我们就会意识到那一百块被花出去就没法再拿来买别的东西了。

但如果我们是以电子方式消费的，我们可能就不太会进行这种盘算。

我停用信用卡就是因为我太喜欢过度消费了。

也许手机支付这事儿我也应该这么做。

值得考虑。

请根据刚才所听的新闻报道回答8-11题。

问题8：为什么这位女士决定用回现金支付？

问题9：根据这位女士的说法，人们使用APP进行支付时会发生什么？

问题10：这名男子可能倾向于用支付应用购买哪种类型的产品？

问题11：这名男子对电子支付有什么看法？
