These square-shaped black-and

20、-white symbols in WeChat or Alipay where QR codes are scanned to add new friends or make payments.The QR Code system originated in Japan. The engineer Masahiro Hara felt the limitation of the one-dimension barcode in use and thus developed the QR codes which could carry data horizontally and vertica

21、lly. QR codes could hold much more information than barcode due to their extra dimension. In addition, QR codes have larger data capacity, smaller printout size and higher resistance to dirt and damage, which make them widely applied in many other applications.Though the technology of QR codes is co

22、mplicated, we can easily create our own QR codes with the help of QR code generators, many of which are available online for free. Users could enter the data they wish the QR code to display, and the generator turns it into a symbol that can be printed or displayed in electronic form. The process of

23、 creating QR codes could be really fun when we customise the design of the codes according to our specific needs. For instance, we can adjust the color, add a logo, and create social options etc. Moreover, dynamic (动态的) QR codes are also available. They are more various than standard QR codes becaus

24、e they allow users to edit data entered previously whereas data in standard QR codes cannot be edited once printed. Plus, dont limit your QR code to one mobile scanner. Anyone can scan your code with any reader. A lower barrier to entry makes success more likely for you and the user.Meanwhile, we mu

32、when we use such devices compared to PCs.”As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even shopping take place online, it is important to think about how the contexts where we typically face moral decisions and are asked to e

48、r his years of retirementThis does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement yearsThis means the government might have to step in to care for the poorIn addition, the government could take respo

49、nsibility for the care of the elderlyThis could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensionsFurthermore, some institution should be created for senior daises, which can help provide a comfortable life for themUnfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, thi

50、s is not a truly viable answerThe government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the youngOne further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.To

51、sum up, all these options have advantages and disadvantagesTherefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations1、What is the passage mainly about?AThe problems faced by the old in societyBWhy we shou
