Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.
Smart cards and mobile phones are becoming an increasingly popular way to make all
sorts of payments. Even now, in Japan thousands of transactions, from paying rail tickets to
picking up the groceries, take place every day with customers passing their handsets across a
small flat-screen device. And predictions in the world of finance reckon that payments using
mobile phones will have risen to more than $50 billion in the very near future.
What's the appeal of e-cash? Compared to cheques or credit cards, it offers the speed of
cash, but more so. It takes just one tenth of a second to complete most transactions and as no

their monthly credit card statements but on their mobile phone statements. And having spent
fortunes on branding, credit-card companies and banks do not want to see other payment
systems gaining popularity. It's too early to say whether banks will miss out and if so, by
how much. However, quite a few American bankers are optimistic. They feel there is
reasons to be suspicious of those who predict that high-street banks may be a thing of the
past. They point out that Internet banking did not result in the closure of their high-street
branches as was predicted. On the contrary, more Americans than ever are using local
branches. So, whether we'll become a totally cash-free society remains open to contention.
