It was a day to celebrate if your family had put most of its money in a bank . You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates (利率).
On October 29, for the first time in nine years , the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) raised interest rates . The rate for one-year renminbi deposits (存款) was increased from 1.98 per cent to 2.25 per cent . And the rate for one-year renminbi loans （贷款）went up from 5.31 per cent to 5.58 per cent . Longer term rates saw higher increases .
So what are interest rates ? Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account (储蓄帐户) , and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them . The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates .
If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars , the interest rates rise was not good news .
An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank . For example , a person who borrowed , 10,000 yuan from the bank had to return 10,531 yuan before the interest rise . But after the interest rates are increased , he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year .
The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy . For several years , pushed by a huge investment and construction projects , the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world . But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes . It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money .
“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down . It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects .” said Su Ning , deputy governor (副行长) of the PBOC.
1．If we deposit 1000 RMB in the bank for one year , how much can we get after October 29 ? (The tax rate on interest rates is 20% .)
A．21.6. B．13.68. C．15.84. D．18.
2．What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rates ?
A．To attract greater investment .
B．To make people earn more money .
C．To carry out construction projects .
D．To cool down the over-heating Chinese economy .
3．By saying “this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes” the writer .
A．warns that if the economy grows too rapidly , it will cause trouble
B．warns us that industry will suffer a loss
C．advises us to buy bigger clothes when we are young
D．advises us not to grow too fast
4．Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan ?
A．People will make wiser investments .
B．People will need to repay more to the bank .
C．People will borrow more money to invest in their business .
D．People will be careful of taking money from banks to expand their business .

Many Americans are turning to Japan , they think , a country of high academic achievement and economic success , for possible answers . However , the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find . In most Japanese preschools , surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction . In one survery , 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers , child development specialists , and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education . Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools . In contrast , over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices . To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond , Japanese schools do not teach reading , writing , and mathematics , but rather skills such as determination , concentration , and the ability to work as a member of a group . The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents .
Like in America , there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education . Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims , such as early musical training or potential development . In large cities , some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools . Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-bases program , it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities . Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens .
1．We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe .
A．Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents
B．Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements

I had an experience some years ago , which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves . One January , I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community . Both had died “full of years” , as the Bible would say . Their homes happened to be near each other , so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon .
At the first home , the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me , “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow , she would be alive today . It’s my fault that she died .” At the second home , the son of the other deceased woman said , “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida , she would be alive today . That long airplane ride , the sudden change of climate , was more than she could take . It’s my fault that she’s dead .”
You see that any time there is a death , the survivors will feel guilty . Because the course of action they took turned out badly , they believe that the opposite course—keeping Mother at home , putting off the operation—would have turned out better . After all , how could it have turned out any worse ?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty . The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens . That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds .
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens , especially the bad things that happen . It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault . The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood .
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs , and that he makes everything happen in it . He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks . He cries , and someone comes to attend to him . When he is hungry , people feed him , and when he is wet , people change him . Very often , we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen .
1．What is said about the two deceased elderly women ?
A．They lived out a natural life .
B．They died of exhaustion after the long plane ride .
C．They weren’t used to the change in weather .
D．They died due to lack of care by family members .
2．The author had to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because .
A．he wanted to comfort the two families B．he was an official from the community
C．he had great pity for the deceased D．he was minister of the local church
3．People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because .
A．they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrow
B．they believe that they were responsible
C．they had neglected the natural course of events
D．they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction
4．According to the passage , the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that .
A．everything in the world is predetermined
B．the world can be interpreted in different ways
C．there’s an explanation for everything in the world
D．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world
5．What’s the idea of the passage ?
A．Life and death is an unsolved mystery .
B．Every story should have a happy ending .
C．Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault .
D．In general , the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away .

Teachers speak up against giving extra lessons during vacation. The reason ,they argue ,is based on the definition that vacation is designed for relaxation and rest ,both for teachers and students ,the latter in particular ,should be given enough time and freedom to develop their own interests and enjoy some outdoor activities, which in return ,will benefit their study later on .
60 percent of the students hold the same idea as the teachers involved in the survey ,saying they need more time to relax and prepare for a better start .The others ,about 40percent ,are in favor of it and they want to learn something more during this period of time.
Compared with divided views of their children ,parents agree to it ,though they complain about the high price they have to pay .They think having someone take care of their children is better than leaving them about ,and that students can get something out of classes ,however little it is .
