单选题 Too Many Cars? Everyone agrees that there are simply too many cars on the read but who will be the first to stop using theirs? Although everyone hates being stuck in traffic, no-one sees their cars as part of the growing problem. However, with traffic growth of up to 84 per cent expected by 2031 and the ever-increasing cost of accidents and delays already at ＄160bn in Europe, there is a growing need to change our 'car culture' and develop alternative forms of transport as quickly as possible. One answer is to make cars more expansive by increasing taxes on patrol. However, tax increases will affect the people who live in the country more than city drivers and do little to reduce inner city traffic. The Government is also looking at pay-as-you-drive schemes on motorways but this will push cars on to smaller 'free' roads, which will make the problem worse.A successful transport policy is not just a question of making the car tee expensive but of offering car drivers a real alternative. Many motorists dislike driving to work but say public transport services are too slew, offer poor quality and are far too expansive. If new transport policies are to succeed, public transport needs to be quick, reliable and affordable. Transport planners are also developing ways of managing the existing road network more efficiently. New technology such as smart cards and electronic monitoring of roads will lead to a more efficient use of transport systems. However, technology will not reduce the number of cars on the road or solve the real problem of how to persuade car drivers to leave their beloved cars at home more often.

单选题Chinese currency is the Renminbi (RMB). It is also known as "yuan". The sign of it is " ￥ ", the same as that of Japanese currency. But Japanese currency is called "yen". The Renminbi, China's legal tender, is issued and controlled solely by the People's Bank of China. The exchange rates of the Renminbi are decided by the People's Bank of China and issued by the State Administration of Exchange Control. China operates foreign exchange in a unified way, with the State Administration of Exchange Control exercising the functions and powers of exchange control. Before 1994, the Chinese government managed the system as a dual-track foreign-exchange system. The dual-track system provided for two government-approved exchange rates, one was the official exchange rate, the other was the swap-market rate. The State Administration of Exchange Control (SAEC) set the official exchange rate for the RMB based on China's balance of payments and the exchange rates of her major competitor countries, such as South Korea. In 1986, the SAEC first set the official rates at 3.72 RMB per dollar. Primarily state-owned companies used the official exchange rate, mostly to buy Foreign Exchange Certificates (FECs). FECs are a separate form of currency developed in 1980 for the foreigners to use when they paid for their expenses in China. But, in 1994, the People's Bank of China stopped issuing FECs and gradually withdrew them from circulation. The swap market, the other half of the dual-market system, was created in Shenzhen (the newly-built modern city located opposite Hong Kong) in 1985 for foreign and local businesses that had received official approval to exchange RMB and hard currency, there were quite a lot of swap centres, the one in Shanghai being the largest. During that period, about 80 % of the hard-currency transactions in this country took place in the swap market. The swap rate was 8.7 RMB per dollar. The dual-track foreign exchange system was not favorable to China's international trade and affected China's application for joining the WTO. So in 1994 the Chinese government decided to close the swap centres. The swap centre in Shanghai was replaced by the National Foreign Exchange Centre, which is a national inter-bank centre at which authorized banks can trade and settle foreign currencies.
