答案：BAABA
解析：
1B：计价单位（a unit of account）：用来表示价格和记录债务的标准
交换媒介（medium of exchange）：购买商品时给卖家的东西
价值储藏手段（a store of value）：把现在的购买力转化为未来的购买力的东西，而货币并不是经济中唯一的价值储藏手段，股票、债券等也是价值储藏手段。
2A：M1和M2 是美国经济中货币存量的两种衡量标准。
M1：活期存款（demand deposit）+旅行支票（traveler’s checks）+其他支票存款（other checkable deposits）+通货（currency）
M2：M1（活期存款、旅行支票、其他支票、通货）+储蓄存款（saving deposits）+小
额定期存款（small time deposits）+货币市场共同基金（money market mutual funds）+几种不太重要的项目（a few minor categories）
3A：信用卡（Credit card）：信用卡并不是一种货币量的衡量指标。信用卡不是一种支付方式，而是一种延期支付方式。（the credit cards are not really a method of payment but a deferring payment）使用并提高信用卡的普及程度可以减少人们选择持有的货币量。
借记卡（Debit card）:借记卡上的账户余额包括在货币量的衡量中。借记卡更类似于支票而不是像信用卡。（the account balance that lie behind debit cards are included in measures of the quantity of money.a debit card is more similar to a check than to a credit card）
