What is the main purpose of the talk? [br]
Yesterday we discussed the problem of rising prices, or, in the economist’s terms, inflation. We noted that, during periods of inflation, all prices and incomes do not rise at the same rate. Some incomes rise more slowly than the cost of living, and a few do not rise at all. Other incomes rise more rapidly than the cost of living.
We concluded that persons with fixed incomes, as for example, the elderly who depend upon pensions, and persons with slow-rising incomes as, for example, an employee with a salary agreed to in a long-term contract, will be most seriously affected by inflation. Please recall that while their dollar incomes stay the same, the cost of goods and services rises, and in effect, real income decreases; that is, they are able to purchase less with the same amount of money. We also talked about the fact that stockholders and persons with business interests and investments would probably benefit most from inflation, since high prices would increase sales receipts, and profits would likely rise faster than the cost of living.
选项
A、Persons who have salaries agreed to in long-term contracts.
B、Persons who own businesses.
C、Persons with pensions.
D、Persons with slow-rising incomes.
答案
B
解析
细节题。谁能在通货膨胀中获益?原文说到“stockholders and persons with business interests andinvestments would probably benefit most from inflation”,B项own business与原文同义,A、C和D项都是在通货膨胀中受较大影响的人群,所以B正确却。
