Q1825819 Inglês

    China has charged ahead with a bold effort to remake the way that government-backed money works, rolling out its own digital currency with different qualities than cash or digital deposits. The country’s central bank started testing a new electronic currency, which was named electronic Chinese yuan or eCNY, last year in four cities and have recently expanded those trials to bigger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, according to government presentations. No other major power is as far along with a homegrown digital currency.

    The effort is one of several by central banks around the world to try new forms of digital money that can move faster and give even the most disadvantaged people access to online financial tools. Digital currencies created by central banks give governments more of a financial grip. These currencies can enable direct handouts of money that expire if not used by a particular date and can make it easier for governments to track financial transactions to stamp out tax evasion and crack down on dissidents.

    If the eCNY is successful, it will give the central bank new powers, including novel types of monetary policy to help the economy grow. In one possibility that economists have discussed, a central bank could program its digital currency to slowly lose value so that consumers are encouraged to spend it immediately. Also, the eCNY could immediately give the Chinese government more power to monitor finance flows because a digital currency system can record every transaction.

Judge the following item, concerning the ideas stated in the text and the words used in it.


If consumers spend the new currency immediately, the central bank will find a way to make it lose its worth accordingly.

Modern and convenient — or are they?
history, people have felt that they are the most modern generation. Ever since the invention of the wheel or the building of the first bridge, people have said that the things now are more advanced, more efficient than ever before.
This has never been truer than in the early twenty first century. We love — and sometimes hate – our computers and related technologies. But do we use them well? 
Take mobile phones, for example. They started as an expensive luxury, used by the very rich, and have become a necessary item of business equipment. We can’t image without one. But many of those calls are not half assurgent as we think.
Most people talking on the phone on the train could easily wait until they in the office – and they should remember that the other passengers can hear what they are saying: what if one of your competitors is sitting on the train, too?
Then take email. It hasn't always been here.
Business worked with letters and phones for a very long time before email, but these days everybody seems to use it — but do they use it well? People think it’s quick, and that it makes everything quicker, and that quicker is good. But we need to be careful as well as quick. So, before you click to send the reply to that very urgent message, check it through carefully. People often just use the spell-check, but make sure the facts are correct, too, and that your message is polite.
Or take online ordering. This Has been with us for a very short time, but already there are businesses that run only online. What some companies forget is that older customers often have a lot of money to spend. But this type of customer wants to talk to a person, not a machine.
what problem does the writer describe about online ordering?
