transitions from swim to bike to run with her，we got all the equipment shed need，and we kept talking about the race. but as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn，she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. she was nervous but trying to keep it together.and then it was her turn. from the second she jumped into the water，my heart soared. my daughter transformed into the most confident human being i had ever seen. she dominated that swim，crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.i can

damage from water，oil and dirt.the keys of the new keyboard are made of the same inexpensive plastic that might be found on any other standard keyboard. but instead of being smooth，the keys have millions of tiny plastic nanowires(纳米线) on their surface area to every key，increasing the effective contact are a between help plastics and fingers. this ensures that theres enough power to run the keyboard as someone types.liming dai，a scientist，did not work on the new keyboard，but he thinks the design could be important in getting better performance from a variety of devices. “it could also be

landlord(房东) can charge for an apartment. supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in the apartment. their rent cannot increase；therefore，they are not in danger of losing their homes. however，the critics say that after a long time，rent control may have negative effects. landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. therefore，they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. they do not invest in new buildings which would also be rentcontrolled. as a result，new apartments are not built. many people who need apartments cannot find any. according to the critics，the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. the federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. the minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled，lowpaying jobs. however，if the minimum is high，employers may hire fewer workers. they will replace workers with machinery. therefore，other things being equal，the number of workers that employers want decreases. thus，critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. because of the law，workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. furthermore，employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.economic theory predicts the results of economic decision，such as decisions about farm production，rent control，and the minimum wage. the predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal” economists do not agree on some of the predictions. they also do not agree on the value of different decisions. some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. economists do agree，however，that there are no simple answers to economic questions.语篇解读本文主要讲了政府对经济的宏观调控可能产生的结果。12there is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.acause a short age of apartmentsbworry those who rent apartments as homescincrease
