The U.S. Federal Reserve announced yesterday it was raising interest rates for the first time since 2006. Known as the Fed, it’s America’s central bank. It’s led by Janet Yellen. Its job is to help stabilize America’s financial system. The Fed makes moves to try to lower unemployment and control inflation, when the price of goods goes up too fast for people to afford them.
Because the U.S. economy is growing, the Fed raised its key interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, not much. But gradual rate increases are likely in the New Year. That means you’ll have to pay more interest if you borrow money, higher loan rates for home buyers, higher interest rates if you finance a car, higher student loan rates for people who enter colleges afterwards.
Eventually, savings accounts could earn a little more interest. A decade since the last "Star Wars", and nearly just as long, nine years, since the Fed last changed interest rates. But now, it’s time for the Fed to awaken, because after three episodes of quantitative easing, Janet Yellen must now use her most powerful weapon to restore balance in the economy.
5. What will happen to interest rates in the US?
6. Why did the Fed change interest rates?
7. Who will benefit from the change of interest rates?
选项
A、To boom up real-estate market.
B、To lower unemployment rate.
C、To finance car industry.
D、To offer food to more people.
答案
B
解析
本题询问美联储调整利率的原因,新闻中提到,美联储此举是为了降低失业率(lower unem-ployment)和控制通货膨胀,因此选B项。A项“刺激房地产”和C项“资助汽车工业”和新闻内容不符,新闻只是提到美联储调息后人们要还更多房贷或车贷。D项“给更多人提供食物”没有在新闻中提到。
