Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the eating habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 1 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are available far from the countries where they are 2 .

So the worker an his wife had to work hard and in twelve month’ time they returned to the building man with $1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 4 we’ll need $1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last time, you know.”

Does jogging cost much? No, it costs almost nothing. But it is very important to have a good pair of shoes that were made especially for jogging. They protect your feet and legs 8 the shock of running on hard surfaces.

Since I came to my new neighborhood, I have had the pleasure of meeting a few neighbors. They seem to be quiet 16 people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and 17 . There were nine neighbors, and I also knew which houses they lived in. However, I decided to 18 one more person to my list, the lady I met every morning walking to work as I drove down the street. She always managed a sweet smile and a hearty wave(挥手)， 19 I had no idea which house she lived in. My gift idea was to make small 20 baskets and leave them on each of my neighbor’s front porches(门廊)the night of Christmas Eve. I kept the last one for the friendly lady, since I was still not exactly sure where she lived-- 21 the house down about where I met her each morning. Finally I decided to put it there. My neighbors really enjoyed the baskets and a couple even came by to 22 me. This morning on my way to work, I placed my mail in the mailbox and noticed a Thank You card. I opened it and read the 23 which really caught me by surprise. The card said, “Thank you for those lovely apples and strawberries you left on the porch of the Tod.”He 24 on January 19, but he never stopped talking about how nice it was that someone 25 him in his time of illness. He really enjoyed it.” I was very 26 . I had no idea who Tod was or that he had been serious 27 . I had left that the lady’s basket on Tod’s porch by accident. I believe that Tod never expected to have that basket. I feel 28 that the nice lady did not get a basket from me this Christmas, but I believe that if she knew what happened, she would 29 me.

一、计算 1．如果美国6个月期的美元存款利率为4%，英国6个月期的英镑存款利率为8%，英镑与美元的即期汇率为：GBP1=USD1.50，这时某美国投资者将100万美元兑换成英镑存入英国进行套利，试问：假设6个月后即期汇率 （1）不变；（2）变为GBP1=USD1.55；（3）变为GBP1=USD1.45；其套利结果各如何（略去成本）？ 2．已知同一时刻，苏黎世外汇市场：EUR1 = CHF1.2110/30， 法兰克福外汇市场：EUR1 = CHF1.2150/70， 试问：如果投入100万瑞士法郎或100万欧元进行套汇，利润各为多少?（不计交易费用）3、伦敦市场的短期利率为9.5%,同期纽约市场为7%，英镑对美元的即期汇率为 GBP1=USD1.9600, 美元3个月的远期升水点数为0.01，此时投资者在纽约市场上借入100万美元进行套利,他可以获利多少。 4、某机构预期欧元会对美元升值，于是以每欧元0.06美元的期权费用买入一份执行价格为EUR1=USD1.18的欧元看涨期权,请画出其收益图，并求出盈亏平衡点。 二、简答 当货币投机者预计某一国货币即将贬值，他是如何对一个国家的货币进行攻击，该国中央银行主要采取哪两种选择来应对货币投机者的攻击。 当货币投机者意识到一国的名义汇率偏离实际汇率，就会大量借入一定数量的该国的货币，在本币将贬未贬时，就大量抛售该国货币，加剧本币贬值。这是该国政府为了维持固定汇率制度，就会动用外汇储备大量在外汇市场购买本币。然而一国的外汇储备数量是有限的，随着外汇的枯竭，本币不得不贬值。 简述金本位制度下汇率的决定和波动规则。 金本位下的汇率决定因素：铸币平价 两种货币所含黄金量的对比，叫铸币平价。 影响汇率变动因素：黄金输送点 铸币平价只是决定汇率的基础，市场上的实际外汇行市还要受到外汇供求情况的影响。但是，在金本位制度下，汇率的波动不会漫无边际，而总是环绕着铸币平价上下波动，并以黄金输送点为界限。 黄金输送点是指金本位制下，在铸币平价基础上加输送黄金费用，构成黄金输出点，是汇率波动的最高限；在铸币平价基础上减输送黄金费用，构成黄金输入点，是汇率波动的最低限。黄金输入点和黄金输出点统称为黄金输送点。

1. Companionship of Books Samuel Smiles A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men. A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age. Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third. There is an old proverb, ‘Love me, love my dog.” But there is more wisdom in this:” Love me, love my book.” The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them. 通常看一个读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，我们都应该以最好的为伴。 好书就像是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永远不变。它是最有耐心，最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒，临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识；到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。 人们常常因为喜欢同一本书而结为知已，就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。有句古谚说道：“爱屋及乌。”其实“爱我及书”这句话蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，彼此息息相通，并与自己喜欢的作家思想相通，情感相融。 好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生的思想精髓，因为人生的境界主要就在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言和崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。 书籍具有不朽的本质，是为人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒坍，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大的思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今日依然清新如故。时间惟一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。 书籍把我们引入最理想的社会，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共，感同身受。我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。 甚至在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也与世长存。他们的精神被载入书籍，传于四海。书是人生至今仍 在聆听的智慧之声，永远充满着活力。 尹转云推荐

0. Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Creativity. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 创造性的含义 2. 许多人缺乏创意 3. 一些成功人士具有创新意识 Creativity 写作思路： 1. 按照自己的已有知识，给创造性下定义并简要说明获取这种性能的途径和重要性。 2. 说明许多人缺乏创意的事实，并用常见的例子加以支撑，进一步引述这样的人不太 引人注目。 3. 大多数成功人士不乏创新意识，他们能标新立异，另辟蹊径。各个行业都不乏这样 的例子；呼吁大家开动脑筋，发挥自己的创造性。 Creativity Creativity refers to the ability to bring forth new ideas, work out novel methods and lead into pleasant changes by using imagination and practice. This capability often stems from working diligently, thinking deeply and studying intensively. It is therefore one of the standard often used to judge a person or a piece of work. Being creative or not may mean success or failure in the new era. Many people show lack of creativity in their daily work and life. They parrot the words of others and ape someone at every step. When writing an essay, many students apply a set rule to everything and follow the models mechanically without showing any personal merits. When designing something, few people can break away from the stereotype. Since these people cannot help falling into the conventional patterns, they are likely to be less impressive, less noticeable and less successful. A great majority of successful people attribute their achievements to their originality. In the field of sports, super athletes excel others by tapping their initiatives. Excellent scholars, novelists and artists etc. are often approved because of their creativeness. Even applicants can fulfill their wishes when they express themselves in special, unusual and commendable ways. We are not stupid; we hate to be outdone. Why not think aloud, work hard and stand out by employing our originality?
金融风险管理 一、名词解释 1.系统风险：指由于某种因素使证券市场上所有的证券都出现价格变动的现象，给一切证券投资者都会带来损失的可能性。 2.信用违约互换：又称为信贷违约掉期，也叫贷款违约保险，是目前全球交易最为广泛的场外信用衍生品。信用违约互换的出现解决了信用风险的流动性问题，使得信用风险可以像市场风险一样进行交易，从而转移担保方风险，同时也降低了企业发行债券的难度和成本。 3.持续期：指从一种金融工具收回全部现金流的加权平均时间。 4.非系统风险：指某些个别因素对某一证券造成损失的可能性。 5.套期保值：交易者配合在现货市场的买卖，在期货市场买进或卖出与现货市场交易品种、数量相同，但方向相反的期货合同，以期在未来某一时间通过卖出或买进此期货合同来补偿因现货市场价格变动带来的实际价格风险。 6.麦考利持续期：离到期日越长的债券，其价格受到利率变动影响越大，因此债券到期前的时间长度可被视为衡量风险的合理尺度。 7.外汇交易风险：P89指企业或个人未了的债权、债务在汇率变动后进行外汇交割清算时所出现的风险。 8.P160杠铃投资法：将全部投资资金集中投放于短期证券和长期证券上的一种保持证券头寸的方法。 9.国家风险：由于国家政治、经济、文化、社会等方面的重大变化而给经济主体造成损失的可能性。 10.外汇风险敞口：指外汇资产(或负债)由于汇率变动而可能出现增值和减值,这种增值和减值可能自然抵消,也可能被某种措施人为冲销。其中无法自然抵消也没有被人为冲销的外汇资产(或负债)就暴露在汇率变动的风险中,形成了汇率风险敞口。 11.流动性风险：一个经济实体因流动性的不确定变化所造成的损失的可能性。 二、简答题 1.简述金融风险管理的主要程序。 （1）金融风险的识别和分析。（2）风险管理策略的选择和管理方案的设计。（3）风险管理方案的实施与监控。（4）风险报告。（5）风险管理的评估。（6）风险确认和审计。 2.利率期货的含义及合约内容。 3.含义：是标准化的合约，交易双方约定在未来某一时刻，合约的买方从合约的卖方处以特定的利率买入一定数量的债券或短期存款。 合约内容：交易标的、交易单位、合约期限与交割日、最小价格变动幅度、每日价格波动限制 4.证券投资风险管理策略主要包括哪些？P159 （1）分散投资法（分散投资对象、分散投资时机、分散投资领域、分散投资期限）。（1）杠铃投资法。（3）长、短期投资法。（4）固定模式投资法（平均资金投资计划法、固定金额计划法、固定比率计划法、变动比率计划法）。 5.简述金融风险的主要特征。 （1）隐蔽性：指由于金融机构的经营活动的不完全透明性，在其不爆发金融危机时，可能因信用特点而掩盖金融风险不确定性损失的实质。(2）扩散性：指由于金融机构
