听力原文: A certificate of deposit (CD) is a time deposit with a bank. Time deposits may not be withdrawn on demand like a check account. CDs are generally issued by commercial banks but they can be bought through brokerages. They bear a specific maturity date that usually lasts from 3 months to 5 years, a specified interest rate, and can be issued in any denomination, very similar to bonds. CDs offer a slightly higher yield than T-Bills because of the slightly higher default risk for a bank, but overall the likeliness of a large bank going broke is pretty slim. Of course, the amount of interest you earn depends on a number of factors such as the current interest rate environment, how much money you invest, the length of time, and your specific bank.
24. What is a CD?
25.Which of the followings generally issue CDs?

听力原文: It's no secret that throughout history common stock has outperformed most financial instruments. If an investor plans to have an investment for a long period of time, then their portfolio should be comprised mostly of stocks ; however, investors who don't have this kind of time should diversify their portfolios. For this reason, the concept of "asset allocation" was developed. Asset allocation is an investment portfolio technique that aims to balance risk and create diversification by dividing assets among major categories. The underlying principle of asset allocation is that the older a person gets, the less risk he or she should face. After you retire you may have to depend on your savings as your only source of income.
28. Throughout history, what kind of stock has outperformed most financial instruments?
29.What is the purpose of asset allocation?
30.What is the principle underlying the concept of asset allocation?
(28)
A.preferred stock
B.common stock
C.concept stock
D.cynical stock

听力原文: The inter-bank market is important because through banks' lending and borrowing, a short-term interest rate can be determined. This interest rate indicates the marginal cost of acquiring short-term liquidity needed by banks in the money market. Thus, the lending is usually for short-term liquidity needs which is usually overnight. Some lending transactions may be arranged for a longer period of time, usually up to 3 months. The inter-bank money market is well established and active in Hong Kong, with an average daily turnover of HK $ 38 billion in late 1991. Lenders are mostly the locally incorporated banks and major borrowers are the foreign banks that do not have adequate deposit base in local currency.
28. What can be determined through inter-bank lending and borrowing?
29.How long is the usual period of short-term liquidity needed by banks?
30.Who are the major lenders in the inter-bank market?
(28)
A.A long-term interest rate.
B.A long-term loan.
C.A short-term interest rate.
D.A short-term loan.

I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St. Lucie just minutes from the ocean, an uncontrollable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.
I’m like a migratory bird that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display o£ colors — first in the fall trees, and then in the limits around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors’ children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?
(1) What does the underlined word "snowbird" in Paragraph 1 refer to?()
A、A person spending winter in a warmer climate
B、A bird seen chiefly in winter
C、A person permanently living in a foreign country
D、A bird flying to the south in winter
(2)What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?()
A、Winters in Long Island are milder
B、The snowbirds in Long Island are rarer
C、Weather in Long Island is severer
D、Long Island is nearer to the ocean

A、The colorful light display
B、The family gathering
C、The cold temperature
D、The winter landscape
(4) Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?()
A、The author enjoyed living in Florida
B、The author had a good time in Florida
C、The author owned a home in Florida
D、The author did not like mild weather
(5)What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?()

B、To describe his dream to be a free bird
C、To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown
D、To express his feeling of missing his hometown

same amount of time, say exercise researchers in Britain. But walks of any length beat sitting at home with your feet up and watching television. They stress. Some researchers in Britain reached these conclusions after putting 56 couch potatoes through an 18 week course of daily walks. They found that longer walks produce the most beneficial changes to the composition of blood fats, but walks of any length improve the fitness of the heart.
In the study, the normally inactive subjects were divided into three roughly equal groups. The "long walker" took a hike of between 20 and 40 minutes every day. "Intermediate walkers" had two rounds of jogging of 10 to 15 minutes, and "short walkers" did three stints of 90 to 110 minutes. The controls sat at home, as usual.
At the start and end of the 18 weeks, the health and fitness of each group were measured and it was found that the long walkers were healthiest, as measured by altered fat profiles in their blood. At the end, each liter of blood from the long walkers contained an average 0.05 grains less apolipoprotein(阿朴脂蛋白) II, a "bad" fat that is linked with heart disease. This was more than twice the drop seen in the intermediate walkers, and five times that in short walkers. In the controls, the level of this fat stayed the same. The drop in apolipoprotein II in the long walker was matched by a rise in the blood level of apolipoprotein I, a "good" fat that is associated with smooth arteries.
1、According to the researchers, ______ is least beneficial to your health.
A、taking a lengthy hike once a day
B、going shopping several times every day
C、doing jogging every morning
D、sitting in the sofa watching TV every evening
2、"Couch potato" in paragraph 2 is used to refer to a kind of ______.
A、farmers

C、movie-goers
D、TV viewers
3、Which of the following statement is FALSE?()
A、Longer walks benefit our composition of blood fats
B、The subjects in the study all often watch TV
C、Only longer walks benefit our health
D、The subjects in the study may not like exercises
4、The subjects are divided into ______ groups.
A、four
B、three
C、two
D、one
5、Why is long walk beneficial to our heart?()
A、It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein I
B、It leads to the drop in apolipoprotein II
C、It keeps us from watching TV
D、It helps us lose weight
