So when Chinas currency the yuan was devalued (贬值) against the US dollar for three straight days in mid-August, the world felt the effects. As CNN put it: “ If China sneezes, the world catches a cold.” Why does it matter so much? The exchange rate is the term for the comparison of two currencies. It says how much one currency is worth in terms of (换算) the other. “Exchange rates play an important role in a countrys level of trade. It is one of the most important determinants (决定因素) of a countrys relative level of economic health,” wrote Jason Van Bergen of F. A higher currency makes a countrys exports more expensive and imports cheaper, and vice versa (反之亦然). Devaluation means the same amount of RMB can be exchanged for fewer USD. For example, on Aug 11, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was 6.23, which meant $1 was worth the same as 6.23 yuan. Two days later, the rate changed to 6.4, meaning the value of RMB had dropped by 2.7 percent. So what does a weaker currency mean for our lives? It first affects those who want to travel to, or study in, the US. If your former classmate is leaving for a preparatory (预科) school in the US at the end of August, it now costs about 1,800 yuan more to exchange currency for 10,000 US dollars than it did earlier this month. However, since many currencies have decreased in value, the value of yuan is still relatively high despite the recent devaluation. This means it costs 1,200 yuan less to get 10,000 Canadian dollars now than it did in March. Even if we dont have plans to travel abroad, though, we could still be affected. For example, your mother will have to pay more if she buys directly from overseas websites with US dollars. And chances are that imported chocolate and potato chips will soon be a bit more expensive in your local supermarket. However, the weaker yuan is good news for Chinese exporters. It makes Chinese exports less expensive and it could boost the overseas sales that have been among the main reasons for Chinas economic growth during its rise over the past 30 years. Just as Erik Britton of Fathom, a London-based economic consulting firm, told The Guardian: “Were all going to feel it: well feel it through commodities (商品), not just from China but from everywhere that has to compete with it; and well feel it through wages.” “The devalued yuan will force Chinas Asian rivals (竞争对手), such as Indonesia and South Korea, to compete even harder,” wrote Heather Stewart, economics editor of The Guardian. “The result may be cheaper Christmas presents.”59. According to the passage, it can be learned from the passage EXCEPT_A. The higher Chinas currency is , the less expensive potato chips from America become.B. In March people spent 1,200 yuan more to get 10,000 Canadian dollars than they do today because Canadian dollars increased in value. C. Chinas currencys devaluation against the US dollar in mid-August makes students studying in America pay more school fees.D. People who work in Fathom will be greatly affected on account of the weaker yuan.60. The passage implies that _.A. The yuans devaluation contributes a lot to Chinas economic growth . 来源:学*科*网B. Exchange rates are the most important factor determining a countrys relative level of economic healthC. The yuans devaluation has a great impact on all the countries in the world.D. Chinese exports sell well overseas because of their high quality61. If the exchange rate of RMB to USD increased from 6.5 to 6.7, how much more percent would you pay when you bought a bag worth $100?A. 2.7 B. 5.4 C.20.0 D. 3.1CConcepts from science and nature are filled with our languages common phrases , idioms and spoken expressions. The unbelieving expression “Well, Ill be a monkeys uncle” has its origin in bitter disbelief over Darwins writings on evolution. These colourful expressions bring spice(趣味) to our language.Yet certain well-used phrases from science are just plain wrong! Some are obvious, yet we use them anyhow. For example, a person who acutely shakes her head and says “ A watched pot never boils” while you are waiting second after tiring second for test results to arrive or job offers to come in knows that if she sat down and watched a pot containing water on a stove over high heat for long enough, the water will eventually boil. However, a few phrases have less obvious scientific inaccuracies. Here are a few for you to consider. Once in a blue moon: This poetic phrase refers to something that occurs extremely rarely. A blue moon is the term commonly used for a second full moon that occasionally appears in a single month of our solar-based calendars. The problem with the phrase, however, is that blue moons are not so rare. They happen every few years at least, and can even happen within months of each other when the 29.5-day lunar cycle puts the full moon at the beginning of any month but February. The usage of “blue moon” as the second full moon in a month dates back to a 1937 Marine Farmers Almanac . But before that, blue moons meant something slightly different. Typically, 12 full moons occur from winter solstice to the next winter solstice, but occasionally a fourth full moon in a season could be observed . In such a case, one of the four full moons in that season was known as “blue”Where theres smoke, theres fire: The phrase means that if something looks wrong, it likely is wrong. But lets step back. Do you always have to have fire if you see smoke? Answering that first requires defining fire” , MerriamWebsters first definition of fire is “ the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame and heat”. Combustion is the chemical reaction that occurs when fuel is burned in the presence of oxygen-denying a fire any of these three things will stop the fire; attempting to start a fire without any one
