一 payment 的用法
Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. 接着，我尝试使用我的电子钱包付款，但商店的支付系统却无法正常使用。（教材 P53）
payment 作名词，意为“支付，付款”，其动词形式为 pay。payment 的常见短语：make / receive a payment 付款／收款；payment method 支付方式；payment system 支付系统。如：
I need to make a payment for my new phone. 我需要为我的新手机付款。
We accept different payment methods, such as cash and credit cards. 我们接受不同的支付方式，比如现金和信用卡。

1. spends 2. takes 3. pay 4. cost

【分析】
要解决这道题，需先明确pay、spend、cost、take这四个表示“花费”的动词的用法差异：①spend主语为人，常用搭配为spend time/money on sth或spend time/money (in) doing sth；②take主语为it，常用句型为It takes sb time/money to do sth；③pay主语为人，搭配为pay money for sth；④cost主语为物，搭配为cost sb money。再结合每个句子的主语、搭配及时间状语，选择正确的动词形式。
【解析】
1. 句子主语是He（人），搭配介词on，符合spend的用法；时间状语every weekend表示一般现在时，主语是第三人称单数，故填spends。
2. 句子是It takes sb sth to do sth的固定句型，时间状语usually表示一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，故填takes。
3. 句子主语是you，搭配介词for，符合pay的用法；助动词did后接动词原形，故填pay。
4. 句子主语是The backpack（物），符合cost的用法；由后面的was可知是一般过去时，cost的过去式仍为cost，故填cost。
【答案】
1. spends 2. takes 3. pay 4. cost
