【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】[解析] 27-30 We will live in a society when cash no longer exists. Instead, "cash" would be electronic, as in bank-card systems. Notes and coins would be abandoned. Its benefits would be profound and fundamental. Theft of cash would become impossible. Bank robberies and cash-register robberies would cease to occur. Urban streets would become safe. Retail shops in once dangerous areas could operate in safety. Neighborhoods would improve. National electronic-money system would operate as a debit-card system. Each individual's money would be held in his money-system account. A transaction would affect an instant transfer of money from his account to that of another account holder. Only cash would be supplanted by electronic money. Credit card and automatic-teller-machine system would not necessarily change, although you could no longer obtain cash at ATMs. 27. In future, what kind of form will the money be?
