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、Students with bank loan.
B、Home buyers with bank loan.
C、Low income workers.
D、People with savings accounts.
答案
D
解析
本题问的是谁会在此次利率调整中受益,新闻中提到有存款的人会多得一些利息(earn a littlemore interest),因此对于银行储户会有好处,故选D项。A项“负有货款的学生”和B项“需付贷款的户主”在新闻中均有提及,但加息后,学生和购房者都要付更多银行贷款,都是受害者。C项的“低收入工人”在新闻中未提及。
