would
…
I would like to know how to make out this check?
Cashier: Right.
Em... Do you want to draw out some money?
Alex: Yes. ?
200.
Cashier: ?
200. OK. Well, the first thing you need to do is write today's date in the top right-hand
corner where you
see the line, at the top you write just today's
date...and the year. You must
put the
year in. And if you want to draw out money after
it says PAY
...can you see over on
the left-hand side?
Alex:
The first...line?
Cashier: That's it.
On the first line it says PAY and you write CASH
afterwards.
Alex: In letters?
Cashier: Yes. CASH, you write CASH, OK?
Then below that, right below that, you have to
write
the amount of money you want. So
just two hundred pounds and then you write
ONL
Y at the
end
in
words.
Then
at
the
end
of
that
line
where
you
can
see
the
box,
see
over
on
the
right-hand side,
you have to write the amount you want in numbers.
And then below the box,
the last thing
you have to do in the bottom right-hand corner is
just write your signature.
Alex: Thank
you very much.
Cashier: Okay. Bye-bye
then.
Alex: Bye.

The US
government
prints
paper
money
in
the
following
denominations:
$$10,000;
$$5,000;
$$1,000; $$500; $$100; $$50;
$$20; $$10; $$5 and $$1.
You, and almost everybody else, will never see some of these bills; twenties, tens, fives and
ones are the most
commonly used. You will find a picture of George
Washington on the $$1 bill,
Abraham
Lincoln
on
the
$$5,
Alexander
Hamilton
on
the
$$10
and
Andrew
Jackson
on
the
$$20.
There are also pictures on the back:
the White House on the $$20, the Treasury Building
on the $$10,
the Lincoln Memorial on the
$$5 and a big
all paper bills are the
same size and the same green color, so you have to
look carefully before
handing someone
money and when receiving change. Your best bet is
to forget the pictures and
concentrate
on the large numbers in all four comers of the
front and back.

are in size order.
Task
6
【答案】
1) It
means we don't carry most of our weekly or monthly
wage around in our pockets, and we
don't leave it at home where it might
easily be stolen.
2) Because we don't
want to travel around the city with hundreds of
dollars in cash to pay these
bills, nor
do we want to waste the time and carfare.
3) The author recommends an account
that is a savings and a checking account in one.
4) Because often commercial banks have
many offices in a city or town.
5) You
sign your name on the back of the check, mark it
in your account.
6) It is
generally about $$4 per month or 15
￠
for every check you write.
7)
You should have received in the mail all your
bills, such as the rent, the gas and electricity,
the
phone, perhaps a doctor or dentist
bill, etc.
8) You can use a small
plastic card to tell the computer to transfer the
same amount of money from
your savings
to your checking account.
9) No, it
doesn
’
t.
10) The computer
will oblige as long as you have the amount you're
asking for in your account.
【原文】
We
have
a
rule
of
thumb:
carry
around
any
more
cash
than
you
can
afford to
have
stolen.
and we don't leave it
at home where it might easily be stolen.
Furthermore, we have to pay certain bills every month. We don't want to travel around
the
city
with
hundreds
of
dollars
in
cash
to
pay
these
bills,
nor
do
we
want
to
waste
the
time
and
carfare. So we
need bank accounts. And so do you.
The
kinds of savings and checking accounts available
in the US are numerous and complex,
but
as
you will have only a small amount of
money to deal with each
month,
your choices are
limited. Let us
recommend to you an account that is both a savings
and a checking account in one.
Though
they are called by a wide variety of names
—
each bank gives its account a different name
—
they all follow essentially the same pattern. We think that savings banks generally give slightly
better deals to people like you with
little money, but you should ask people in your
area what's the
best, cheapest and most
convenient. Often commercial banks have many, many
more offices in a
city or town, and
that makes banking easier for you.
How
does
all
this
work?
You
receive
your
monthly
money
from
the
Chinese
government,
probably in the form
of a check, a piece of paper with your name on it
and the amount you are
entitled to, say
$$420. You sign your name on the back of the check,
mark it
deposit the money in your
account. Then you withdraw, say, $$50 to pay for
groceries, carfare and
other daily
expenses,
percent interest from the day
it is deposited until the day you take it out. In
this way, your interest
