26、g the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet (销路 ) for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding cheapest market for the
27、things they wish to purchase. Specialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent (等价物 ,等值物 ) to their share of the product. Another advan
28、tage of money is that it is a measure of value that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchang
29、ed for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties desires and preferences. If
30、 I am trying to barter fish for bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or is not keen on fish. Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged in only one stage in the manufacture
31、 of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if sto
32、rage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on would involve obvious disadvantages imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be prov
33、ided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity. 31 Using money as a medium of exchange means that_. （ A） you have to sell something in order to buy something （ B） you have to buy something in order to sell something （ C） you dont have to buy something in order to sell something （ D） the sell

35、heir money to buy whatever they want 33 A barter economy is one in which_. （ A） value is decided by weight （ B） value is decided by number （ C） money is used and goods are not exchanged （ D） goods are exchanged and money is not used 34 If one had to save products instead of money, _. （ A） this would
36、 need years of practice （ B） coal, for example, would lose its value （ C） they could not be stored for years on end （ D） many products would lose their value 35 How many advantages of money are mentioned in this passage? （ A） Two. （ B） Three. （ C） Four. （ D） Five. 36 Internet piracy refers to the us
37、e of the Internet for illegally copying or distributing unauthorized software. In these cases the Internet is the medium for advertising, offering, acquiring, or distributing pirated software. The Business Software Alliance, a software industry trade association, estimates that there are 840 000 Int
38、ernet sites selling illegal software as genuine product. Many consumers Who acquire software over the Internet never receive the programs they paid for. Others are not able to get their money back if they discover that the software they acquired is counterfeit. Disreputable Internet businesses often
39、 quickly vanish, leaving behind hundreds of dissatisfied consumers. The ease of creating a Website and then advertising and distributing software through the Internet has increased sales of pirated software passed off by seemingly legitimate businesses. Plus, the explosive growth of e-commerce, comb
40、ined with anonymity (匿名 ) and unlimited volume, have made it even easier for criminals to sell counterfeit (伪造的 ) software online. Illegal online businesses often have professional-looking Internet sites that could fool even the smartest consumer. Distinguishing counterfeit software on the Internet
41、is understandably difficult because consumers cant visually examine the product for physical Warnings on the hard ware, or see the person from whom theyre buying. Pirated software can often contain viruses with the potential to damage both individual com puters or entire networks. Viruses can and do
42、 cause data loss, which would be devastating to most companies. When using unlicensed software, you are not eligible for technical support from the software publisher. If you have a technical issue in need of resolution, oftentimes a work stopping issue, you are out of luck. In addition, product upg
43、rades (升级 ) less expensive up grades of existing products are not available to you. Based on Business Software Alliance estimates, the current loss of jobs, wages, and critical investments in software and technology innovation worldwide due to piracy so far this year is estimated at: 11 326 675 282.
