问题     Commercial bank deposits, including demand deposits, are subject to immediate withdrawal during regular banking hours at the request of the depositor with the exception of certain time deposits, discussed in this section. Demand deposits may be withdrawn in the form of currency or coin, or they may be transferred to another account at any commercial bank. Demand deposits at commercial banks can be transferred by bank check and are sometimes called checking accounts. No money interest is paid on demand deposits. Checkable NOW accounts, or share drafts at credit unions, which are available to consumers but not business depositors, pay interest. Technically, they are savings accounts that are accessible by a negotiable order of withdrawal.
    Savings deposits at commercial banks and thrifts can usually be withdrawn as currency or coin, or as a cashier’s check of the bank (a check drawn against the issuing bank) ; they may be trans-fenced into the depositor’s demand deposit account at the same bank, although technically the bank may refuse to withdraw or transfer a savings account for 30 days.
    Time deposit accounts with specified maturities are exceptions to the convention that commercial bank deposits should be convertible to cash on demand. Prior to the date of maturity, the bank may refuse to exchange such a time deposit claim or may impose a penalty fee. The time deposit pays interest, giving it one of the characteristics of other private bonds.
    Consumer or personal time deposits include CDs in denominations of less than $100,000. They are non-negotiable; that is, they cannot be sold and must be returned to the issuing bank by the original purchaser. Until 1976, there were effective ceilings on interest payments. In 1973, consumer CDs were first authorized with ceiling interest yields closer to market interest rates. They were called money market certificates.
Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
选项 A、CDs are a kind of consumer time deposits.
B、All the consumer or personal time deposits are non-negotiable.
C、No money interest is paid on personal time deposits.
D、The interest yields of consumer CDs are closer to market interest rates.
答案C
解析 文章最后一段提到there were effective ceilings on interest payments，由此可知C选项错误。
