OLee Wai Sze, also known as Sarah Lee, is living proof of that. She was born in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong in May of 1987. Growing up, her parents were quite poor. She also suffered from a disease that lowered her amount of red blood cells, limiting her body’s 5 ability to pump oxygen. None of this, however, would stand in Lee’s way. Sarah’s childhood was spent in public housing—a place where it can often seem that dreams are out of reach. However, in spite of her medical condition, Sarah excelled in school sports. Her specialty was running short distances such as the 100-meter dash and the 400-meter race. In her teens, she was spotted by the Hong Kong Sports Institute, a training center for 10 Hong Kong’s top athletes. She was invited to train there, and she switched her specialty to cycling. By 2004, still in herReview teens, Sarah was already a full-time cyclist. The hardships, though, were not quite over. In 2006, while training for a race, Sarah swerved to avoid a stray dog on the road. She fell and broke her wrist. For a time, the injury threatened to take her out of cycling forever. But just a few years later, the world would see 15 just how Fordetermined she was to succeed. At the 2010 Asian Games, Sarah became the pride of Hong Kong when she won the gold medal in the 500-meter time trial track cycling event. She even set an Asian record. She took home a bronze medal from the games, too, and was later awarded a Medal of Honor from the Hong Kong government. Two years later, Sarah brought honor to Hong Kong when she won 20 the city’s first ever Olympic medal in cycling at the London Olympic Games. Since then, she hasn’t slowed down, achieving medal finishes in events throughout Asia and around the world. From public housing to the Olympic podium, Sarah Lee has proven that with hard work, dreams really do come true. 32 NEW-Read to Achieve-BK2.indd 32 2019/3/25 下午4:45 Reading Comprehension Choose the correct answer for each question. _____ 1.

However, more Mand more people are going cashless. Rather than handing over a few bills or coins when it comes time to pay, they are simply using an app on their Onlyphone to give the exact amount quickly and easily. 5 One of the world’s largest mobile payment service organizations is Alipay. It was established in China in 2004 by Alibaba, the company owned by Jack Ma, one of the world’s richest business-people. By March of 2018, Alipay had 870 million users. In China, the app had over 50 percent of the third-party payment market. What made Alipay so popular? Ma was smart in that he knew partnerships would be key. In 10 other words, he would need Alipay to be accepted as a payment method in as many places as possible. As such, he set up a variety of partnerships with over 60 financial institutions. He also partnered with major credit card companies Visa and Mastercard. This way, Alipay could become the payment Reviewservice provider for major online retailers such as Taobao and Tmall. Furthermore, Alipay became accepted at more than 460,000 online and local Chinese 15 businesses. Far from a regional app, it has also expanded throughout the Asian continent, and even to Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. The popularFor Chinese messenger app WeChat has also waded into the cashless payment market. With over a billion monthly active users, it already had a great advantage when it rolled out WeChat Pay in 2014. It started as a way to send virtual red envelopes during 20 Chinese New Year. Soon after, it became like a digital wallet. Users could add to their balance by linking their WeChat Pay account to their debit card. Or, they could even receive money from other users. Just a month after launching, WeChat Pay already had 100 million users in China.
