单选题{{B}}Text 3{{/B}} Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money．The back of all dollar bills are green(hence"greenbacks")．The commonly used coins are: one cent(penny), five cents(nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents(quarter)．50 pieces(half dollar)and silver dollars(not really silver anymore)are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny—that's inflation for you．"Mways carry plenty of quarters when travelling．Very useful for phones, soda machines，laundry machines, etc." There is generally no problem in using us dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse． It's always useful to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash．Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers’ cheques which can be purchased both in the us and abroad and should be in dollar denominations．The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places．Thomas Cook travellers'cheques are also acceptable, especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies．Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank：use them instead to pay for meals，supermarket purchases or whatever．Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you'll be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills．Be prepared to show I．D．when you cash your cheques． Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers'cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car—indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too． The major credit cards are VISA, MASTER Charge and ACCESS，Diners Club and American Express．If you hold a bank card，it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes—you should ask your bank manager．

单选题What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about?

单选题Top National Health Service (NHS) nurses will be able to earn $ 40,000 a year without leaving frontline patient care in a modification to salary structures. New "super nurse" grades will be created to enable the best staff to increase their salaries without having to move into management desk jobs. Currently the most senior NHS nurses can earn a maximum $ 28,000 a year unless they are willing to withdraw from the frontline and become administrators. Hundreds of experienced and highly-qualified nurses are lost to patient care every year because of this oddity. While only a few thousand of Britain's 332,000 NHS nurses will qualify for the $ 40,000-plus salary, fast-track promotion schemes and a simpler grading system will increase the pay of many more. The government announced that a new simplified career structure would see just four grades replacing the existing six. Nurses will begin their careers as healthcare assistants before moving up to registered practitioner grade, followed by senior registered practitioner and ultimately, consultant practitioner and a $ 40,000 salary. "Nurses are rising to the challenge of modernisation," said a government official. "These proposals will help them improve their professional role further and provide a better service to patients. We do not think that in order to be paid more, nurses should have to move into management. Nur-ses working at the sharp end of patient care should have a career structure which no longer penalises them for wanting to stay there. " The Nursing Strategy will include proposals to allow more flexible training courses and improve oppommities for qualified nurses who have left the profession to return in parttime roles. The Royal College of Nursing welcomed the reforms. The top salary level falls into line with figures it had presented to ministers.

单选题Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer." The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering, "What if?" I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
