16、ime, either in cash or by drawing a check in favor of another person. Primarily, the bank-customers account is in credit or overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations(义务) to one another. Many of these obligations can give

17、 rise to problems but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is loaded against him.The bank must obey its customers instructions, and not those of anyone else. When, for example, a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit（把.记入借方） his accou

18、nt only in respect of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank specimens(标本) of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right to pay out a customers money on a check on which its customers signature has been forged(伪造). It makes no difference that the forgery may have bee

19、n a very skillful one: the bank must recognize its customers signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted by banks, of printing the customers name on his checks. If this helps forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.36. When you have a bank a

20、ccount, you _A.must always be in credit B.cant draw any money if youre overdrawnC.can draw money without notice D.cant pay money to anyone else37.

21、it must pay money to the customer even if he is seriously overdrawnD.it must print the customers signature38.

22、f him D.the law is not in his honor39. If someone forged your signature and drew money from your account_A.the bank would always pay money to the forgerB.the bank wouldnt lose any moneyC.you wouldnt lose any moneyD.you wouldnt lose your moneyBAny foreigner who has tried to learn Chinese can tell how

24、f Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwestern University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音调)One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”This means tha

25、t schools that want children to do well in languages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr.Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通话)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(编码) of pitch patterns in their brains than E

26、nglish speakers do. This is because in Mandarin and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who

27、 have studied an instrument for at least six years.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings：squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds.

28、 Those with a music background showed much more brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.40 When learning Chinese，a foreigner
