You will get more money back because of a recent rise in interest rates.On October 29, for
18、the first time in nine years, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) raised interest rates. The rate for one-year renminbi deposits (存款) was increased from 1.98 percent to 2.25 percent. And the rate for one-year renminbi loans (贷款) went up from 5.31 percent to 5.58 percent. Longer term rates saw higher in
19、creases.So what are interest rates? Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a saving account, and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them. The percentage of the extra money is the interest rates.If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for hous
20、es 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
21、 increased, he was to pay extra 27 yuan per year.The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the overheating 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
22、 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 industria
23、l and construction projects,” said Su Ning, deputy governor of the PBOC.56. If we deposit 1,000 RMB in the bank for one year, how much can we get after October 29? (The tax rate on interest rates is 20 %.)A. 1021.6 B. 1013.68 C. 1015.84 D. 101857. What is the purpose of the rise in the interest rate
24、s? 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 economy.58. 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
25、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 fast59. Which of the following is NOT a result of the increase in the interest rates on a loan? A. People will make wi
26、se 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.BWASHINGTONPresident Bush plans to meet next week with top Pentagon and State Department official
