Many people are worried about what television has done to the generation of American children who have grown up watching it. For one thing, recent studies show that TV weakens the ability to imagine. Some teachers feel that television has taken away the child's ability to form. mental pictures in his own mind, resulting in children who cannot understand a simple story without pictures. Secondly, too much TV too early usually causes children to be removed from real-life experiences. Thus, they grow up to be passive watchers who can only respond to action, but not start doing something actively. The third area for such a worrying situation is the serious dissatisfaction frequently expressed by school teachers that children show a low patience for the pains in learning. Because they have been used to seeing results of all problems in 30 or 60 minutes on TV, they are quickly discouraged by any activity that promises less than immediate satisfaction. But perhaps the most serious result is the TV effect of bloody fights and death on children, who have come to believe that it is an everyday thing. Not only does this increase their admission of terrible acts on others, but some children will follow anti-social acts that they see on television.

Because of TV, children have lost their ability to ______.

A．read story books

B．understand pictures in books

C．have ideas of new things

D．think in a clear way

听力原文： The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four years, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. More than 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is the spirit of the Olympics: to take part in is what matters.

The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held, i. e. the host country, marches in last.

The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.

The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but there are a few days before these sports start. Everyday the competitors take part in a different sport: riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.

More and more women are participating in the games. They first competed in 1900 ,in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse tiding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

What is the basic honor in taking part in the Olympic Games?

A．To win medals.

B．To break world record.

C．To win first places.

D．To take pan in the Games.

A、Two parallel planes

B、A plane and a circular surface

money Is a nignly iqula Tinanciar asser that is generaly acceprea In excnange for otner assers or goods, is used as a reference In valuing otner assers or gooas, and can be storea as wealtn.

To be liquid means to be easily changeable into other assets or goods. When you buy something with money, you are exchanging money for it So, any of your assets that are easily spendable are money. Social customs and standard practices are central to the liquidity of money. The reason you are willing to hold money is that you know someone else will accept it in trade for something else. Its value is determined by its general acceptability to others.

Money can serve as a medium of exchange. The easiest way to understand money' s medium-of exchange use is to imagine what an economy would be like without money. Direct exchange of commodities without the medium of money- -barter- -can work tolerably well in economies where only a narrow range of goods and services are exchanged, but it becomes extremely cumbersome when there is a wide range of commodities. The use of money as a medium of exchange makes it possible to trade real goods and services without bartering. Instead of carrying around a sack full of diverse goods, all you need to carry around is a bllfol full of money.

Money does not have to have any inherent value to function as a medium of exchange. All that is necessary is that everyone believes that other people will accept it in exchange for their goods. This neat social convention makes the economy function more smoothly.

The social convention depends on there not being too much or too ltte money. If there is too much money compared with the goods and services offered at existing prices, the goods and services will sell out, and money will not buy you anything, or prices will rise. If there is too ltte money compared with the goods and services ofered at the existing prices, there will be a shortage of money and people will have to resort to barter, or prices will fall. Since the central bank controls the supply of money, it also controls the value of money as a medium of exchange.

Money can serve as a unit of account. Money can be used for accounting purposes, to measure the relative exchange values of different goods and services. A bicycle, for example, can be said to be worth RMB 500 and an automatic washing machine RMB 1,500. This indicates that the automatic washing machine is worth three times as much as the bicycle. Money is a useful unit of account only as long as its value relative to the average of all other prices does not change too quickly. For example, in hyperinflation all prices rise so much that our frame. of reference for making relative comparisons is lost. Money can also be used to add up the value of different commodities. In this way, we can measure the entire output of an economy producing a variety of goods and services.

Money can serve as a store of value. Money is a financial asset. So a third use of money is as a store of value. As long as money is serving as a medium of exchange, it automatically also serves as a store of wealth. Money serves as a way to accumulate wealth until it is spent. The restaurant owner can accept your money and hold it for as long as he or she wants before spending it. (But had you paid him or her in fish, he or she would be wise not to hold it for more than a few hours,) A person making RMB 5,000 per month who wants to buy a RMB 3,00-computer could save RMB 500 per month for each of the next months.

To be a satisfactory store of purchasing power, however, the value of money should be reasonably stable over time. If RMB 180 can buy two pairs of jeans in 2015, but only one pair in 2016, people are not going to be too confident in the RMB as a store of value. Unfortunately, the value of stored money is directly dependent on the health of the economy. If, due to rapid inflation, all prices double in one year, then the purchasing power of the money would fall by half. Conversely, savings will buy more when prices fall as a result of recessions.
