A: × She is 5 centimeters taller than him vs She is 5 centimeter taller than hin
✓ She is 5 centimeters taller than him

In the second example, the correct word would to use would be, "centimetres," or, "centimeters." The latter (-ers) is an American spelling, however, most Americans use the Imperial system of measurement (i.e. feet and inches, etc) as opposed to Metric, so I would argue that the more common spelling (-res) would be 'more correct'.

I would like to point out, however, that very rarely is such a common measurement fully WRITTEN OUT in English (and many other languages using the Latin alphabet). You would usually SAY, "centimetres," but this would usually be WRITTEN, "she is 5cm taller than him." And typically, when this type of abbreviation is used with a measurement (cm for centimetres, tsp for teaspoons, mL for millilitres), there is no space used between the final numeral and the unit of measurement.



With the first example, you may need to clarify what you mean by, "VIP." In common nomenclature, "VIP," is simply an abbreviation for, "Very Important Person," and unless you are Victor Hugo (author of Les Misérables), people don't tend to 'expire'.
Because of this use of the abbreviation, however, many businesses may establish 'VIP benefits' for loyal customers/customers who spend a lot of money with them. This may include access to a 'VIP lounge', for example, which you would probably have to provide proof of 'VIP' status, such as, a VIP card or pass to get in to... As VIP statuses tend to be paid for, a VIP CARD or PASS could expire if it weren't renewed; in which case, it would depend on whether the speaker held one pass/card which gained access for multiple people, or if there were MULTIPLE CARDS/PASSES.

LET'S SAY I'M FLYING WITH A SPECIFIC AIRLINE. I have an account with the airline which grants access to a VIP Lounge at the airport for myself and one other person. In this case, if I had accidentally let my membership account lapse, I would be more likely to say, "MY VIP pass HAS expired." I would say, "my," because I own the card, and the pass is not specific for who the other person has to be, and I would say, "has," because I've only just realised this information (whereas, "is," might imply that it's been expired for a while).
"Our VIP pass is expired" might apply to a family or group pass. This would be pluralised ("our VIP passes are expired") if there were individual cards/passes for each person. They could be on the same account, or separate. Again, the 'to be' verb (is/are) would be replaced by 'have' in the case that the information is newer.

I HOPE THIS HELPS
Q: Additionally, to be a VIP member of a music platform or to buy a digital album never cost too much, compared with other consumptions online in our daily lives; for instance, a single on QQ Music costs 2 yuan which is generally the one-eighth the price of a cup of milk tea. But why is it so unacceptable for us to pay such little fee? Probably it is because the traditional consumption concept is deeply rooted in our society(i.e. we Chinese lack of the awareness of copyright). Therefore, the charging of songs can be the first step of cultivating our copyright awareness.
To sum up, downloading music should be charged, and definitely it will be conducive to the development and prosperity of culture in our society.
