The difficult situation of those I saw touched me deeply.I felt I must do something, and, as a single mother, I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget. I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them out to those I met on the street each week.Though a dollar felt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. For me, I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to give more. I don't know how and if the dollars helped, but I know that the connections we made did.One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With it around my shoulders, I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold.However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness. I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone in need.Slightly taken aback, he smiled.“I will as soon as I get a break,”he said.“Thanks for being so considerate.”I can't help but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I've helped more than just those I pass by on the street.Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.( )16.Why did the author decide to come up with a plan?A.Because she wanted to increase her limited budget.B.Because she needed to set aside some bills.C.Because she always passed by some homeless people.D.Because she wanted to do something for the homeless people.( )17.What did the author think of the dollars she gave to those people?A.It didn't make sense.B.It could help them a lot.C.It might have been a small amount to them.D.It brought a friendly connection between them.( )18.What do the underlined words “taken aback”in the fourth paragraph probably mean?A.Surprised. B.Satisfied.C.Upset. D.Frightened.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者帮助一些无家可归的人的经历,如给他们捐款,以及送旧衣物等。

Free exchange: Money from nothingChronic deflation may keep Bitcoin from displacing its fiatrivalsMar 15th 2014 | From the print editionBITCOIN, to its most ardent fans, is more than a useful way to pay for drugs. It is also a technological marvel that could disrupt much of the consumer-finance industry. But is it money? The Bitcoin economy keeps growing, despite the periodic disappearance of large quantities of currency in hacker heists. The total value of Bitcoins in circulation has risen to $7.9 billion, from just $490m a year ago, while daily transaction volume is up by almost 60%. If Bitcoin aspires to match dollars and euros for money-ness, it will need to be more than just a Mastercard for nerds.Economists reckon money is anything that serves three main functions. It must be a “medium of exchange”, which can reliably beswapped for goods and services. It should be a stable store of value, enabling users to tuck some away and come back later to find its purchasing power more or less intact. And it should function as a unit of account: a statistical yardstick against which value in an economy is measured. The American dollar meets all three conditions. Bitcoin has some way to go.Bitcoin does best as a medium of exchange, thanks to its clever technical design (see article). Users can quickly move holdings around anywhere in the world. Rather than relying on central clearing-houses, verification of transactions is done by “miners”, who are compensated for their work with newly created Bitcoin. The new money they create adds imperceptibly to Bitcoin inflation, spreading the cost of their work over all users.This elegant system makes Bitcoin cheap to use. Because banks are not needed to confirm legitimate purchases, transaction fees are low. Bitcoin’s near-anonymity has also helped drive acceptance among those who would prefer to keep their transactions secret, whether drug-dealers or money-launderers. The combination of functionality and user interest means that people are finding it easier to swap coins for both goods and services and for othercurrencies. This rising credibility as a medium of exchange supports Bitcoin values.Yet Bitcoin is not exactly a stable store of value. It is technically equipped to do the job: coins saved in an encrypted wallet on a hard drive can be retrieved for later use in purchases. But the currency’s worth is prone to wild gyrations. Massive Bitcoin heists, like the recent plunder of roughly 6% of outstanding Bitcoins from the Mt Gox exchange, reduce confidence in the currency. Bitcoin prices dropped by 30% against the dollar in February due in part to the Mt Gox news. In more bullish moments, interest has attracted speculators, sending values soaring—at least temporarily. Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, twin brothers known mainly for their early quasi-interest in Facebook, recently announced plans to launch a Bitcoin tracking fund, to make it easier for amateur investors to take a punt on the technology.Volatile values could prevent Bitcoin from ever establishing itself as a medium of account. Even the few retailers who accept Bitcoin use other currencies as their principal accounting unit. Prices are given in a prominent currency (US dollars, for instance) and the Bitcoin price fluctuates automatically with changes in the crypto-money’s exchange rate. Similarly, most Bitcoin owners work in jobs withwages paid in traditional currencies. So long as Bitcoin buyers and sellers “think” in euros or dollars it will fall short of money status. And until Bitcoin values are less volatile relative to the currencies that now dominate real economies, users are unlikely to change their monetary frame of reference.That may be for the best, given another Bitcoin quirk. The currency’s “money supply” will eventually be capped at 21m units. To Bitcoin’s libertarian disciples, t hat is a neat way to preclude the inflationary central-bank meddling to which most currencies are prone. Yet modern central banks favour low but positive inflation for good reason. In the real world wages are “sticky”: firms find it difficult to cut their employees’ pay. A modicum of inflation greases the system by, in effect, cutting the wages of workers whose pay cheques fail to keep pace with inflation. If the money supply grows too slowly, then prices fall and workers with sticky wages become more costly. Unemployment tends to rise as a result. If employed workers hoard cash in expectation of further price reductions, the downturn gathers momentum.Bitcoin’s money supply is still growing; its miners are just over halfway to producing the total possible number. New coins will be minted until around 2030. Miners may then introduce transactionfees as compensation for their critical verification work. More worryingly, deflation is already a reality. Soaring demand for the currency is partly responsible for boosting its price (therefore reducing the price of everything else in Bitcoin terms, generating deflation). But the knowledge that supply is ultimately finite is also a factor.Digital fettersThat other currencies remain the medium of account has so farb een the Bitcoin economy’s saving grace. If Bitcoin matured into a complete currency, with large numbers of workers using it as their medium of account, then its inflexibility could bring economic havoc. Money-supply “shocks”, like the disappearance of Mt G ox, could set off a systemic collapse. Given a loss of faith in exchanges, users might withdraw their coins in a panic, leading to a dangerous decline in transaction volume. Such hoarding could threaten Bitcoin’s status as a medium of exchange, leading to its complete demise as a currency.Reputable exchanges with large institutional holdings could help stem such panics by advertising a willingness to sell their Bitcoins to meet liquidity demand. Yet because Bitcoin reserves are finite, users may not find the promise credible. By contrast, central bankswith the inexhaustible resources of the printing press face no such inconvenient constraints.From the print edition: Finance and economics。
