如今在许多家庭中，孩子的教育问题普遍由母亲负责，父亲参与的相对较少。
记者采访了本市家庭教育研究会理事陈秀茹，陈秀茹表示，父亲在家庭教育中的角色不可取代。
父亲的言传身教，有助于孩子的性格培养和健康发展。
打破传统观念定位受“男主外，女主内”的传统观念影响，父母在家庭事务中扮演的角色往往各有分工。
父亲通常在外忙于事业打拼，创造确保孩子成长及家庭发展的物质条件。
在很多家庭中，对孩子的哺育和教育主要是母亲的责任，有些母亲索性成为“全职太太”。
其实，这种观念是一种误解。
在对孩子的教育问题上，母亲往往更有耐心和责任感，但家庭教育不能只靠“半边天”。
父亲的言传身教，更有利于完善孩子的气度、性格和思维方式，父爱不应在家庭教育中缺位。
抽些时间表达父爱对于爱的表达，有些父亲会觉得不知所措。
忙碌的父亲们应该每天抽些时间，哪怕给孩子讲个故事、陪孩子搭会儿积木或是散散步，因故不能回家时给孩子打个电话说上几句话，都会让孩子感到父爱的陪伴。
不应总是板着脸，时刻摆出父亲的权威，多给孩子一些亲吻、拥抱和鼓励，多些倾听和尊重，了解和分享孩子成长过程中的感受，这些都是表达父爱的理想方式。
判断对错：1.在许多家庭中，孩子的教育问主要由父亲负责。

英美报刊选读答案
英美报刊选读一、教学目的通过本课程的学习,使学员对英美报刊有一个清晰的了解,认识英美报刊语言、文体、词汇、语法等基本特点,掌握英美报刊阅读的基本知识及技巧,为独立阅读英美报刊打下良好的基础;二、教材特点与该课程旧教材第1版相比,本教材具有以下特点：1．为使学生改变以往依赖教师和英汉词典的学习习惯,培养他们独自排解疑难词语的能力,编者不但向他们推荐工具书,并教授他们使用方法；为使他们能加深对词汇的记忆,还介绍词法和重要词根及词缀;2．为使学生掌握必要的新闻词语和扩大词汇量,本书在“新闻词语解说”中尽量结合课文,讲透疑难词语;此外还列出一些与这些词语或课文内容有关的课外词汇;3．为使学生掌握必要的读报知识,本书在“背景知识”中尽量结合课文,介绍重要的并时常见诸报端的人物、党派和组织机构等,并举例说明其重要性;4．为使学生对新闻写作有一个大致的认识,加深对课文的理解,编者较系统地说明标题的若干特点,对新闻体裁的分类、导语和写作特点及常语等做了简介;三、教学内容英美报刊选读为省开课程;1．授课内容：重点为第1、3、4、5、6、8、13、15、17、19、20、21、24、28、30课共15课,其它内容主要供自学;2．课时安排：a 学员自学：2学时/周,共30学时学完15课;b面授辅导：4学时/次,共4次;每学时辅导一课,最后一学时复习;3．作业：共四次,在湖北电大网站英语本科网页上下载,课后完成,交辅导教师批改,评分,作为平时成绩的主要依据;学员完成作业后,可浏览网页上的“答案及详解”,以加深理解,检查自己掌握的情况四、教学建议教师授课时应以学生为中心,鼓励学生自己去探索和获取知识;在上课时,可要求学生先回答每课后的练习题—— Questions,使他们基本了解课文的主要内容;然后,再逐段或跳跃式选段对学生需要掌握的内容、新闻词语和背景知识进行阅读和问答式方式讲解;如果备课充分,学生的英语水平又高,教员可采用美英教员教授母语的方法,抛开课本或讲义,只讲有关课文的重点词语、背景知识和写作手法等;这样,学生除预习外,课后还要结合教员在课堂上所讲的内容好好复习课文;这两种授课方式的好处是,使学生通过自学指预习和教师的指导,自己主动去掌握知识;与以教员为中心的灌输式教学方式相比,学生更能巩固所学,并使他们今后更能发挥学习潜能;此外,这也使有的教员摆脱了那种课文注释那么详细而觉得在课堂上没有多少可讲的被动地位和局面;当然,这只是本人的实践和看法;我相信在调动学生主动学习的积极性方面还有更多、更好的教学法;五.考试说明“英美报刊选读”期末考试题型介绍1．报刊名称及常见报刊词汇英译汉：十小题,每题2分,共20分内容以辅导书的附录为主.2．阅读理解：2篇文章,选自作业题,选择题或判断题,共40分;3．阅读与翻译：一篇文章,选自教材重点课目练习,共40分;1．问答题：20分; 2.段落英译汉：20分;六.课程辅导英美报刊选读辅导一Newspapers and HeadlinesDo you have the habit of reading newspapers in EnglishWhat newspapers do you like to readThe following is a list of the major newspapers in Britain and the United States.●The major newspapers in BritainDailies SundaysThe Times News of the WorldThe Guardian The ObserverFinancial Times The Sunday PeopleThe Daily Telegraph Sunday MirrorDaily Express The Sunday TelegraphDaily Mail The Sunday TimesDaily Mirror●The major daily newspapers in the United StatesNew York Times USA TodayWashington Post Chicago Daily TribuneLos Angeles Times Detrolt NewsWall Street Journal New York Daily NewsChristian Science MonitorNewspapers ,along with reporting the news ,instruct ,entertain, and give opinions.

It almost always gives you the story's main topic and most important facts. When you read a newspaper lead sentence, try to find the subject and main verb and note how the rest of the sentence adds information to the subject and main verb.Anwar Sadat Assassinated at Cairo Military ReviewCAIRO,October7-Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, a modern-day pharaoh who attempted to lead the Arab world toward a permanent Mideast peace with Isreal, was assassinated yesterday by a band of soldiers who attacked a military parade reviewing stand with automatic rifles and hand grenades.Note that a great deal of information is included in a single writer has organized the sentence around the subjectEgyptian President Anwar Sadatand main verbwas assassinate very carefully.The lead sentence usually does the following:●Answers questions such as “who”“what”“where” “when”“result”●Adds background to help you better understand the story orState where the source of the story comes from.英美报刊选读辅导四Read the News StoryIn most news stories the most important facts will be found near the beginning-usually within the first two or three remainder of the story will give details explaining and clarifying the main points,or introducing new,but less important information.The following is a formula for a typical news story;●Paragraph OneThe story's subject and most important facts.●Paragraph TwoImportant facts that the writer was unable to include in the lead;Information to clarify the facts in the lead;A particularly important quote.●The rest of the storySpecific details to answer readers' questions;Statements and opinions by people involved in the story or by outside observers;Background information;New,but less important facts.Accordingly, when you read a news story, you are to:●Read the beginning of the story very carefully because it containsthe most important fact.●Try to look for more facts than those given in the lead.●If you don't understand something at the beginning of a story, keep reading for a secondand perhaps a third chance to understand.英美报刊选读辅导五Reading the Feature Story in a NewspaperIn most news stories the main points come very early and less impotant information comes is another kind of story_the feature story which follows a different format,the feature format.Popular Magazines and Magazine ArticlesReading popular magazines is a good way to enlarge our vocabulary and learn a little bit about many topics in following is a list of major magazines in Britain and the United States.●Magazines in BritainThe Economist Britain TodayThe Spectator Contemporary ReviewNew Statesman London MagazineNew Scientist Observer ReviewThe Listener PunchBritish Weekly●Magazines in the United StatesTime US News & World ReportNewsweek Reader's DigestLife Business WeeklyFortune Harper'sPeople American ReviewThe New YorkerVery often we read magazines while traveling or relaxing of magazine articles do not expect their audience to spend too much time reading and try to make the main ideas stand out clearly. The task for the reader is to locate these main ideas quickly.Popular magazine writers use various devices to capture a reader's attention:clever titles,short paragraphs and compound nouns to economize on in magazine often have characteristics similar to those found in news stories or articles found in are some feautures of magazine articles:●An introductory paragraph summarize the main idea;●The details are given in the rest of the articles;●The author's view of the subject is directed to a particular audience butmay interest readers in general.英美报刊选读辅导六Reading AdvertisementsMost magazines and newspapers contain advertisements that are designed to make us want the want us to believe that their product is important for a good life. Some advertisements even present viewpoints ontimely newspaper ads try to influence the reader's opinions.The language of advertising must be a language of immediate impact and rapid persuasion. No one is likely to spend much time deciding whether to read a printed advertisement or listen to a spoken one:If their attention is not attracted immediately and held firmly for the short amount of time necessary to absorb what is being said. Then the advertisement will have miserably. So the advertising language uses a basically simple grammatical structure and a richly suggestive and descriptive vocabulary.Read the following ad.Only the cream of the crop filesOur chefs buy only the freshest and most expensive ingredients for our kitchens.Anywhere.Because they believe that good food really is the way to a person's heart.Obviously, there are many who would agree.In fact, experienced travelers have rewarded Swissair with the greatest percentage of repeat business.Which is not something we take lightly.Because travelers who fly more, expect more.So our chefs prepare five gourmet selections for every flight. Plus any one of 15 different special meals on request:Hindu,Kosher,Moslem,diabetic,slat-free,vegetarian,dietetic…you name it.Only the best will please Swissair passengers.The cream of the crop.Swissair has worldwide departures from New York, Boston, Chicago, Montreal and Toronto.Call Swissair of your travel expertSWISSAIRIn the above ad, a great deal is said in a few words. We see short sentences, vivid language, and many informal, popular expressions. They appeal to all of the senses.When you read an advertisement, you may:●Look for the hidden message; the way in which an advertiser uses words and pictures to influence readers opinions and attitudes.●Read between the lines for meanings implied rather than clearly stated.●Find the source of its appeal to the senses.。

But instead of killing the Japanese personal computer industry, the American onslaught猛攻liberated 放纵it.

( 60% )Passage 1Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to get rid of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which uses not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs 电灯and refrigerators冰箱as well. The system works so well that no fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings –theaters and offices as well as classrooms –are more than sufficiently heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter . The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from buildings and reuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students send out more heat than female students, and the larger a student is, the more heat he produces . It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working overweight male genius.1. What is characteristic of the buildings on Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh? BA. They are more comfortable to live in than other buildings.B. They collect body heat to regulate the temperature inside.C. They use light bulbs to heat the classrooms.D. They consume less fuel to keep the classrooms cool.2. According to the passage, the technique of heat recovery is used __D______.A. to provide a special form of air-conditioningB. to provide heat for the hot water systemC. to find out the source of heatD. to collect heat and reuse it3. The phrase “the hottest prospect” in this passage refers to __C______.A. the person who suffers most from heatB. the person who needs more heat than othersC. the person who gives off most heatD. the person who make better use of body heat4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according the passage?CA. The harder a student works, the more heat he or she produces.B. The bigger a student is, the more heat he or she sends out.C. A girl student sends out more heat than a boy student.D. A large and hard-working boy student gives off the most heat.5. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?AA. Recovery of Body Heat C. Modern Building's Heat SystemB. Body Heat and Sex D. Ways of Heating BuildingsPassage 2The Earth has a force that pulls thing toward itself. We call this force gravity. This is something we live with all the time, and we take it for granted and hardly ever think about it . But it is a most important factor in rocket operation and must overcome if we are to get anywhere in space, or off the ground at all.Take the throwing of a ball as an example. The harder the ball is thrown, the faster and higher it will go. What is the secret? Its speed. If we could throw the ball hard enough it would go up and up forever and never come down. The speed at which it would have to be thrown do this is known as escape speed. Of course, we cannot throw a ball hard enough because the speed required to escape completely from the Earth's gravity is seven miles per second, or over twenty-five thousand miles per hour.Once escape speed has been reached by a spacecraft, no further power is needed. A rocket aimed at the Moon, for instance, will ‘coast' （滑行）the rest of the way because the Earth's gravity cannot then pull it back, and there is no air resistance in space to slow it down. This ‘coasting' is known as ‘free fall'.自由落体That does not mean the rocket is falling down towards the Earth but that it is traveling freely in space without the aid of power, like a bicycle coasting downhill.Free fall is an important feature of space travel: it would be impossible to carry enough fuel to provide powered flight all the time.6. What is the most important factor for a rocket to escape from the Earth?BA. To travel as fast as it can.B. To overcome the Earth's gravity.C. To reduce the air resistance.D. To carry enough fuel with it.7. How fast will a rocket go to escape completely from the Earth's gravity? DA. Seventy miles per second.B. Seven thousand miles per hour.C. Twenty-five thousand miles per second.D. Twenty-five thousand miles per hour.8. As there is always the Earth's gravitational pull, people A________.A. accept it without questioning itB. never notice its presenceC. seldom think about how to use itD. often try to escape from it9. When a bicycle ‘coasts' downhill, it __B______.A. runs faster and fasterB. runs freely without any further powerC. is no longer affected by the Earth's gravityD. does not meet with air resistance10. Why is it not necessary to provide powered flight in space all the time? CA. Few spacecraft complete their flight operations.B. The spacecraft will be attracted by the Moon.C. No further power is needed after the escape speed is reached.D. ‘Free fall' takes the place of the Earth's gravitational pull.Passage 3Crime is a very serious problem in Britain. One sort of crime which particularly worries people is juvenile delinquency –that is, crimes committed by young people. For some years juvenile delinquency 青少年犯罪had been increasing. There are two main sorts of juvenile crimes: stealing and violence. Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes. There are, I think, a large number of different reasons.These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels.反抗Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like .There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else.Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people.11. From the passage we know that many British people are confused about _D_______.A. the causes of juvenile crimesB. the rise of the crime rateC. the problem of crimes in their countryD. the various kinds of juvenile delinquency12. One reason why young people in large cities are more likely to commit crimes is that B________.A. they need more moneyB. they are free to moveC. they live a better lifeD. nobody knows anything about others13. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people are LEAST likely to commit crimes? BA. Those living in big cities.B. Those living in the countryside.C. Those who are very poor.D. Those who are in need of help.14. Unlike many others, the author holds that one important cause for juvenile delinquency is that _____A___.A. young people nowadays do not like adult worldB. young people in Britain today are freer than beforeC. young people are influenced by crime and violence in films and newspapersD. too many young people have come to live in big cities15. According to the passage, which is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young peoplethemselves? CA. The adult world.B. Their parents.C. The society.D.

(30’×2)Passage oneEconomics Slow as Inflation Catches Up with EuropeIt took a few months. But the economic woes touched off by soaring oil prices and the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States are finally engulfing Europe. While each country has written its own recipe for what appears to be a looming slowdown, they all have one key ingredient in common: "Inflation, inflation, inflation," said economist Gilles Moec of the Bank of America in London.Pinched by higher prices, consumers aren't spending -- and polls find confidence levels are falling in most of Europe's big economies.Marie-Charlotte Robin, 23, a communications student who drives every day through Paris for her summer internship, says she has to devote more and more of her budget to gasoline. Recently, she has spent about 70 euros ($110) a week at the pump."I don't even fill up my whole tank anymore because the price makes me sick to my stomach," Robin said, while taking a lunch break on a park bench on a street just off the Champs-Elysee.Inflation could well be the bugbear that defines what might otherwise have been a normal, cyclical slowdown after two or three years of strong growth in Europe. Unusually, it is food and oil prices that have risen without driving up core inflation. But many worry it is just a matter of time before prices for other goods begin rising aswell. (11)"Overall, inflation is at 4 percent, twice the target of the European Central Bank," said Marco Annunziata, chief economist of UniCredit Markets and Investment Banking in London."If you look at core inflation -- if you ignore the prices of food and energy -- it is less than 2 percent. That shows the prices of everything else except food and energy are quite stable. The question is: How long can it last?"A stronger euro had buffered Europeans somewhat from the early rise in oil prices, since crude is priced in dollars, and for a while their economies rolled on. (12)But soaring energy costs are starting to bite, and there is growing pessimism about the impact here from the economic troubles in the U.S. -- a top export market.Kabir Siyar, who owns a mobile phone and electronics business, said business has slowed at his store on Hauptwache square, one of the busiest shopping areas in Frankfurt, Germany."For the past year or year-and-a-half, for things that cost as little as five euros ($7.90) people are asking if they can have it for three euros ($4.75) instead. You never used to see haggling," he said. "People used to just hand over the money; now they're trying to get a better price."The dynamics of slowdown vary greatly from country to country, creating a complex scenario that is exacerbating worries about how bad it will get -- and making it harder for the European Central Bank to conduct its one-size-fits-all interest rate policy. Stressing the need to fight inflation, the bank raised rates earlier this month despite fears that might weigh on growth. Spain, Ireland and Britain suffer from burst housing bubbles like the one in the United States. Germany's export motor, running strongly for several years, is suddenly sputtering. Italy, Europe's perennial underperformer, limps along, burdened by chronic structural problems.Denmark is already in a technical recession -- two consecutive quarters of decreasing economic output. According to many economists, the list of suspects forsecond-quarter contraction is growing: Spain, Italy and Ireland and possibly France and even Germany.Gross domestic product in the 15 countries that use the euro currency -- which excludes Britain -- grew 2.2 percent on an annual basis in the first three months, according to Eurostat. (13) But that may be the last bit of good news for a while."The big news is that the euro zone itself may contract in the second quarter," said Edward Hughes, an economist in Barcelona, Spain.The crisis has already claimed a casualty in Spain, with the collapse of the big construction company Matinsa-Fadesa under $7.9 billion in debt. (14) The firm suffered the effects of higher interest rates and tighter lending conditions by banks spooked by the U.S. subprime troubles even though not directly affected.Bad news keeps rolling out of Germany, Europe's biggest economy. Exports fell 3.2 percent in May, the biggest drop in more than three years. (15) The private research firm ZEW says its index of German investor confidence is the lowest since it began in 1991. Growth appears to have slowed dramatically in the second quarter -- to just 0.2 percent, according to the DIW think tank.Still, many economists believe Germany may escape a big hit, following healthy 1.5 percent first quarter growth.That may not be enough to improve the picture for Europe overall. Bank of America forecasts stagnation in the euro zone for the rest of the year.At Barclays Capital, Frankfurt-based economist Thorsten Polleit said, "We haven't penciled in a doomsday scenario in terms of economic growth."Barclays forecasts a slight 0.1 percent contraction for the euro zone in the second quarter, followed by 0.3 percent growth in each of the third and fourth quarters, Polleit said. For the year, Barclays growth forecast is 1.6 percent in 2008 and 2 percent in 2009."Inflation is a societal evil. It starts biting into consumer spending," Polleit said.While that's the picture in Europe and North America, Polleit said pricing power has shifted to countries that export commodities."It is always the same story. We are happy with rising prices of goods we already own," Polleit said. "We hate rising prices for goods we would like to buy. ... We don't appreciate it if others are getting better off while we are getting less well off."1.The economic woes touched off by soaring oil prices and the subprime mortgagecrisis in the United States are finally engulfing ___A.AfricaB.

(15) Passage twoWhy Hot Money Is Sizzling in ChinaHot money refers to large quantities of money that move quickly in international currency exchanges due to speculative activities or foreign funds that are temporarily transferred to a financial center and can be withdrawn at any time ( 11)Hot money can cause serious problems for a country's financial stability. Though analysts have controversial opinions about how hot money winds its way into China, most of them acknowledge that fast inflows and outflows of hot money have become an issue to be reckoned with. Their influences have been felt in capital and property markets as well as the overall macro-economic performance. Earlier this month, Economic Information Daily published an article about how the government tracks hot money flows and supervises them. Excerpts follow.How much?The latest statistics indicate that in the first quarter the country's foreign exchange reserves stood at $153.9 billion, while the aggregate value of the trade surplus and paid-in foreign direct investment (FDI) for the same quarter was approximately $70 billion. Many analysts conclude that the difference between the foreign reserves and the above-mentioned aggregate amount is the scale of international hot money in the first quarter.But Zhao Qingming, a senior research manager at China Construction Bank, said the amount of hot money simply could not be determined in such a way. Zhao said the appreciation of non-U.S. dollar assets in China's foreign reserves contributed to the fast growth of its foreign reserve value.Mei Xinyu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation under the Ministry of Commerce, agrees that the amount of hot money is not that large. The continuous devaluation of the U.S. dollar has increased China's non-U.S. dollar reserves, he said. The income from investing foreign reserve money as well as the settlement of domestic companies' foreign exchange swaps also have contributed greatly to the increase in the country's foreign reserves, he said.Why China?Why does international hot money favor China? Li Yang, a financial researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), said the interest rate gap between the United States and China and the foreign exchange arbitrage brought about by renminbi appreciation both have triggered a greater influx of international speculative money.Li believes that simple speculation such as interest rate arbitrage and foreign exchange arbitrage could bring speculators profits of more than 10 percent.The surge of international hot money has been caused in part by U.S. interest rate cuts in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis. The U.S. Federal Reserve has cut its key federal funds rate seven times since last September from 5.25 percent to the current 2 percent. In the meantime, the Chinese central bank started its sixth round of interest rate hikes since last year. At present, the benchmark one-year deposit interest rate was raised to 4.14 percent from the previous 2.52 percent. The opposite action of the two nations has further lured the influx of the overseas speculative money, Li said.The continuous devaluation of the U.S. dollar has forced hot money to find a way out, with emerging markets becoming its destination. (12) Some of the hot money holders were tempted by the fast appreciation of the Chinese currency. In the first quarter, the renminbi rose more than 4 percent against the U.S. dollar, the fastest quarterly appreciation since the currency reform of 2005.Zhang Ming, a financial expert at CASS, said he believes the robust growth of the mainland property and capital markets was another important reason for the huge inflow of hot money.How did it enter?Zhang said hot money has entered China through three different ways-the capital account, current account and the underground money bank.Items under China's capital account such as FDI, securities investment, trade credit and loans, might also be channels where hot money sneaks in, Zhang said. Hot money can enter China under the name of FDI, and after being changed into renminbi, speculators can invest it in the stock and real estate markets, he said. "China has a strict control over the capital account, thus making it costlier for hot money to enter the country than other emerging markets," Zhang said.In terms of the current account, Zhang said domestic foreign trade companies could bring in hot money by reporting low import quotations and high export quotations or registering sales revenue received in advance and deferred payments.( 13) Some foreign trade dealers have forged fake trade documents, enabling them to collect payment although no goods have been exported, he said. He added that fake trade has been the most convenient channel for hot money to enter the country.Zhang cited a case in Guangdong Province where an importer signed a contract with a domestic foreign trade dealer to pay him three months in advance in U.S. dollars.Three months after the contract was signed, the Chinese dealer asked the foreign side to postpone the payment date for another three months. After the next three months passed, the Chinese dealer required the importer to raise the price of the goods because of the price surge of raw materials. After two months of negotiations, they cancelled the contract, and the Chinese side was fined 10 percent of the money it had received in advance.In this dispute, the two companies manipulated international trade conventions by successfully keeping the importer's money in China for eight months. The Chinese dealer could use the money he received in advance to invest in the mainland capital and property markets. Therefore, in addition to the currency appreciation during the eight months, the importer got 10-percent investment revenue from the Chinese side.Hot money also can enter China through underground money banks, Zhang said. Such banks have not been authorized by the government, are not subject to government regulations and handle deposits and loans illegally.In these cases, foreigners usually deposit money in an overseas account at a Chinese underground bank. After changing the dollars into renminbi, the banks deduct relevant trading fees and then deposit the money into the renminbi account of the foreigners, he said.( 14)How to contain hot money?The frequent inflow and outflow of hot money would undoubtedly cause economic uncertainties in the mainland markets, said Zhao Qingming of China Construction Bank. “The excessive influx of hot money will expand ma rket liquidity, cause excessive money supply, and will eventually push up inflation,” he said. “The hot money inflow also poses more pressure for renminbi appreciation. It can also create bubbles in the property and stock markets.”The large amount of hot money also has negative impact on currency policy, Zhao said.Mei Xinyu of the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation agrees. “Worse still, if the money is pulled out of China all of a sudden, the normal operation of mainland finan cial system will be disrupted,” he said.As a means of containing hot money, Zhao suggested that the government “reasonably control the renminbi appreciation expectation, strengthen efforts in trade investigation and sanctions and maintain asset prices at a reasonable level.”The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) should cooperate with the Customs agency to crack down on fake trades, Zhang said. He also suggested keeping the China-U.S. interest rate difference at a reasonable level to curb arbitrage.(15)SAFE had stated earlier that it would strictly control foreign exchange collections and settlements, tighten its supervision and investigations of commodity and service trades, strengthen the management of the bank's short-term foreign debt quotas and improve foreign-invested companies' management of foreign debt. It also vowed to strengthen its efforts in checking cross-border capital flows and cracking down on underground banks and illegal foreign exchange trades.Worries of a pulloutMei warned of the financial uncertainties of a sudden pullout of hot money."The outflow of hot money could bring enormous disaster to the domestic financial system," he said.Mei said the risk would come from two factors-the U.S. subprime crisis contagion and a perception that mainland renminbi appreciation and capital market gains had reached a peak. Should this happen, hot money would "quickly get the arbitrage and pull out," he said.Mei also said the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis is worsening. If foreign-invested companies and foreign institutional investors wanted to cover losses in their home countries, they would sell off their assets in China and switch the capital into their home countries to fuel the liquidity-hungry economies, he said."If that happens, the renminbi will be forced to drop sharply," Mei said.Collective irrational actions are common in financial markets, Mei said. In the long run, he believes the renminbi will keep appreciating. But if some speculators expect a downward trend in the currency's value, they would quickly retreat, prompting an overall fear of renminbi depreciation, which would in turn stir other speculators who may follow suit, he said."That is the scary part," Mei said. He suggested that China reject a fast and substantial appreciation of the renminbi and keep its appreciation speed at a slow and incremental level.1.Hot money can cause serious problems for a country’s ____ stability.A.financialB. politicalC. culturalD. social2.the latest statistics indicate that in the first quarter the country’s foreignexchange stood at $ ____A.$ 153.9 billionB. $ 70 billionC.$ 83.9 billionD. $223.9 billion3.

Campaign strategists have agreed to focus to focus on the Senate, where leaders hope to complete work on the budget package by May 1. “We felt that if the Senate defeated the proposal, it would not even come up in the House,”says John Rot her, legislative director for the 18—million —member American Association of Retired persons.Targeted mainly are Republicans, who control the Senate, with particular emphasis on the 21 who face re—election next year.
