Pocket Tape – Recorders “Family and Home Magazine” test what’s on the market now.

1）Pearlcorder S702 $64

This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn't turn off automatically（自动地）.

Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight ;240g.

2）Sony M9 $ 49. 95

Small and very good looking. Sony's latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. Doesn't switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.

Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 195g.

3）Sony M400 $ 115

Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.

Tape length: 60 minutes per side. Weight: 230g.

4）Imperial OEM. MC $ 29. 95

Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on, no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.

Tape length: 30 minutes per side. Weight; 285g.

5）Philips 585 $80

Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.

Tape length: 15 minutes per side. Weight: 220g.

The dollar is becoming weaker and weaker. What effects will it have?

Look at the record­high price of oil. Even if the same amount of oil is being pumped out of the ground，since it is traded in dollars and the dollar has weakened，the price of oil has increased to make up for the lost value of the dollar，creating a sort of vicious cycle(恶性循环)．

Oil­producing countries don't want to keep all the dollars they are getting for their oil，since it's declining in value，so they exchange their dollars for euros or other currencies. That pushes more dollars back out into currency markets，which in turn pushes down the dollar's value.

One expert told ABC News that Russia used to have 90 percent of its financial reserves in dollars. It now has 45 percent in dollars,45 percent in euros and 10 percent in British pounds.

In the US itself，the news is mixed. It's good，because it makes what we produce here cheaper to sell in foreign markets，and that in turn spurs(刺激) exports of our products around the world. That translates into more manufacturing and more jobs.

But a weak dollar is bad，because it leads to inflation (通货膨胀) in this country. Imports from foreign countries will become more expensive，and in particular，oil will be more expensive. That puts pressure on businesses to increase prices for anything that uses oil or products that come from overseas. One benefit for American shoppers is that China has largely pegged its currency to ours，so that keeps the price of Chinese­made goods low and therefore，keeps a check on inflation.

1.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A．Why is the dollar losing value?

B．What caused the weak dollar?

C．What to do with the weak dollar?

D．What effects will the weak dollar have?

2.With the dollar losing its value，oil­producing countries will do all of the following EXCEPT ________.

A．raising the price of oil

B．raising their production of oil

C．exchanging their dollars for other currencies

D．decreasing their financial　 reserves in dollars

3.It can be inferred that ________.

A．the American economy is having a hard time

B．Russia is making the situation worse on purpose

C．American export businesses would like a stronger dollar

D．Chinese­made goods remain as competitive as before in the USA

“It was cool，because I got a chance to be in a studio and see how a record is made，”says 14-year-old Javon Martin，who joined the music clubhouse 3 years ago.“It has impacted my life in a big way. People are actually starting to see me as an artist.”Ten-year-old Akheylah Hunter didn’t play an instrument when she became a club member last year. Now，she plays piano and sings with the band. What she likes best，she says，is performing.“We performed in different places，”she says.“We go on trips and it is fun.”

Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago，it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.

“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence，”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face，or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody，they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”

To expand the club and help more kids learn music，Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative，a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”

1.Why does the writer mention the two children in the first paragraph？

2.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a benefit of joining the club？

3.What is Mr.Aggeler’s possible post？

4.What does the writer intend the passage to be？

5.Which of the following might NOT be included in activities of the club？
