听力答案~~~~~~~~~~~~~表扬pennyzhou和小梦梦
In the late 18th and early 19th century, paper money and bank notes spread widely. The bulk of the money in use came to consist not of actual gold or silver but of fiduciary money—promises to pay specified amounts of gold and silver. These promises were initially issued by individuals or companies as bank notes or as the transferable book entries that came to be called deposits. From fiduciary paper money promising to pay gold or silver, it is a short step to fiat paper money—that is, notes that are issued on the “fiat” of the sovereign, are specified to be so many dollars or francs or yen.

Lesson 24: If could be worse 不幸中之万幸
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Had the writer's money been stolen?
I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said. 'Well,' I said to the manager, 'there is still some honesty in this world!'

参考译文
我走进饭店经理的办公室，坐了下来。我刚刚丢了50英镑，感到非常烦恼。“我把钱放在房间里，”我说，“可现在没有了。”经理深表同情，但却无能为力。“现在大家都在丢钱，”他说。他开始抱怨起这个邪恶的世道来，却被一阵敲门声打断了。一个姑娘走了进来，把一个信封放在了他桌上。它里面装着50英镑。“这是我在这位先生的房门外捡到的，”她说。“是啊，”我对那位经理说，“这世界上还是有诚实可言的！”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ⅰ. 振振有“词”
1. sympathetic
adj. 富有同情心的
I just need a sympathetic ear. 我只是想有人听我诉说。
→ n. sympathy 同情， 支持 sympathy = support
I have to confess I have some sympathy with some of his views. 我不得不承认我支持他的一些观点。
→ v. sympathize 同情 sympathize = feel sorry for 支持
I sympathize with the general aims of the party. 我支持这个政党的纲领。
2. complain
v. 抱怨
He said, “You can complain because roses have thorns or you can rejoice because thorns have roses.”
他说过： “你可以抱怨玫瑰有刺或者你可以为刺旁的玫瑰而欣喜。”

Ⅱ. 现身说“法”
否定的方式有许多， 常见的是: no / not any / none
1. There isn’t any teain the pot.
2. Thereis no tea in the pot.
3. There is none in the pot.
在句1中, 我们用的是否定副词“not”， 它通常放在be （系动词）、 have （有）、 be （助动词）、 have （助动词） 或其他助动词之后， 对句意构成否定。
在句2中， 我们使用了“no”这个形容词， 来否定限制了后面的名词“tea”。除了“no”， 还有“few”、“little”等等。
在句3中， 使用了代词“none”来否定， 这时最好有上下文。
许多文法书中认为 “not + v.”是句子否定法， 而“no + n.”或否定代词为单词否定法。
He doesn’t have pets. 他没有宠物。
He has no pets. 他没有宠物。
He has none. （有上下文） 他没有宠物。
Ⅲ. 说“文”解“字”
1. I left the money in my room.
leave在这里是及物动词， 意思是“遗留， 放在”。
Leave me alone. 别管我。
I left my keys at home. 我把钥匙忘在家里了。
Leave your papers on my desk if I am out. 如果我出去了， 你就把你的论文放在我桌子上。
2. ... but he could do nothing.
该句使用了否定代词， 意思一样的句子还有：
There’s nothing he can do.He’s done all he can.
两句里都用了定语从句。
3. “Well,”...
感叹词 “well” 的用法：
Well, it’s a good idea. （强调自己）Well, give me a break. （结束语）
Well, let me think... （暂停）Well, I mean... （改错）
Well, well, well, you are here to help. （感叹）
