今年以来,中国经济出现了货币空转的现象,如何让资金进入实体经济,成为中国经济新的挑战。对于中国经济来说,货币空转是一个两难的选择,因为经济增速放缓的背景下,实体经济并没有足够的能力给大量资金带来合理回报,资金游离于实体经济之外有其理性的一面,如果强行将资金引导人实体经济,在很多产业都出现产能过剩的背景下.有可能制造更多的过剩产能。因此,如何引导资金支持实体经济发展,同时又不加剧产能过剩,将是对管理层的巨大挑战。

科研机构对一首非常流行的歌曲进行了研究,发现它以3.6秒为一个周期将五个音节重复4次,而整首歌中五个音节的核心节奏重复了100次以上,这样的节拍和人在慢跑半小时后的心率几乎同步——这也正是人感觉最为兴奋的瞬问。这一说法,解释了为什么大多数人都会不自觉地跟着这首歌摇晃身体的原因。而另一个激发人们生理反应的元素则是其朗朗上口的旋律和节奏。科学研究发现。当一个人对一段音乐的旋律和节奏产生共鸣时。这段音乐就会在其脑中不断重复,科学界把这称为“耳虫”现象。虽然引发“耳虫”现象的音乐因人而异。但显然“耳虫”更偏爱那些容易上口的作品。

事实上,由于我国经济社会运行中的矛盾大多是结构性矛盾,控制城市汽车使用量.用“减法”可能比用“加法”好。加法就是开征汽车排污费:而减法,核心就是大幅减少各种名号的公车,全面推进车改。如果这一招能真正推进,加上环保税等的开征,估计大中城市的空气污染情况就会大大好转。

An increase in students applying to study, economics at university is being attributed to the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures which are open to students from all departments--were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.

"There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to ~'elate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn't traditionally done. " He added.

University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15%,jump, with people's renewed interest in caters in the pubic sector, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: "It's possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that's financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty."

What's the main idea of the text?

Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry.

The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to putting off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.

The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife's work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible (似是而非). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family's standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family's financial and emotional stability. Psychological

factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she-can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.

Also, a major part of women's inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.

The word "portend" (Line l, Para.1) is closest in meaning to_________.

Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled--to $1.01 per pack--smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.

This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.

The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.

In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drug store Wednesday. Charleston, S.C, where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.

In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys--13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.

Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke."

That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, as for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.

The text is mainly about_________.
