Much confusion exists about the real nature of money. Many people think that money has no value unless it is backed by gold or silver. They think that the Federal Reserve note is only a symbol for money, and that real money is the metal backing the note. Some people look on money as wealth and believe that it must have intrinsic (内在的) value.
If we were to study the history of money, we would find that in different places and at different times a variety of things have been used as money. Cattle, shell, beads (珠子), tobacco leaves, and various metals—including iron, zinc (锌) , bronze (青铜) , and copper—have all been used as a basis of exchange. The precious metals, particularly silver and gold, have proved most satisfactory for this purpose and have been most commonly used in modem times.
Until early 1968, the United States backed its Federal Reserve notes with 25 percent gold, but this did not mean that citizens could use gold as money or convert paper dollars to gold. Clearly, it is not what money is but what it does that is important.
This passage is about______.
A．the nature of money
B．the face value of a bill
C．the intrinsic value of money
D．the lawfulness of money

Surprised by a Miracle
I had been working in the trauma unit at a local hospital for about a year. You get used to families thinking that a "coma" （昏迷） patient is moving their hand or doing something that they were asked to do. "Following commands" is what we call it. Often it"s "wishful thinking" on the families" part. Nurses can easily become callous （麻木不仁 ） to it.
On this particular night during visiting hours， my patient"s wife came in. I had taken care of him for several nights I was very familiar with his care and what he was able to do. Actually， he didn"t do anything. He barely moved at all， even when something would obviously hurt him， such as suctioning （抽吸） .
His wife was very short， about 5 feet tall. She had to stand on a stool to lean over him， so that she could see his face and talk to him. She climbed up on the stool I spoke to her for a few minutes，and then stepped out to tend to my other patient. A few minutes later， she came running out of the room. In an excited voice， she said， "Donna， he"s moving his hand!"
I immediately thought that it was probably her imagination， and that he had not actually done it on purpose. He had been there about a month at the time and had never made any movements on purpose. I asked her what had happened and she said， "1 asked him to squeeze my hand and he did!"
This led me to another train of questioning. "But， did he let go when you asked him to？" She said yes， that he had done exactly what she asked
I went into the room with her， not really believing that I would see anything different than I had always seen. But I decided that it would be better to pacify （抚慰） her than to make her think that I didn"t believe her or that she was somehow mistaken.
She asked him to squeeze her hand， which he did.
I said， "Well， ask him to let go." He continued to squeeze for a moment， so that when he finally did let go， I really still didn"t believe that he had done it on purpose，So， I said， "Ask him to hold up one finger." He did as asked.
Well， this was starting to get my attention. I looked at him， his face still somewhat swollen （肿胀的 ） and his eyes still closed. "Stick out your tongue!" I said. He did it. I almost fell on the floor.
It was the first time I had ever seen anyone "wake up."
The first paragraph indicates that more often than not a coma patient__________. 查看材料

Newspapers have one basic purpose – to get news as quickly as possible from their source, from those who make it to those who want to know it. Radio, television, and other inventions brought competition for newspapers, so did the development of magazines and other means of communication. However, this competition merely stimulated the newspapers to quickly make use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the speed of their own operations. Today more newspapers are printed and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out into many other fields. Besides keeping readers informed of the latest news, today’s newspapers educate and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters.
Newspapers influence readers’ economic choices through advertising. Most depend on advertising for their very existence. Newspapers are sold at a price that fails to cover even a small part of the production cost. The main source of income for most newspapers is advertising. The success in selling advertising depends on a newspaper’s value to advertisers. This is measured in terms of circulation (发行量): How many people read the newspaper？ Circulation depends, to some extent, on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment offered in a newspaper’s pages. But for the most part, circulation depends on a newspaper’s value to readers as a source of information about the community, city, country, state, nation, and world – and even outer space.
