4.HowATMsWork?

You'reshortoncash,soyouwalkovertotheautomatedtellermachine(ATM),insertyourcardintothecardreader,respondtothepromptsonthescreen,andwithinaminuteyouwalkawaywithyourmoneyandareceipt.HaveyoueverwonderedabouttheprocessthatmakesyourbankfundsavailabletoyouatanATMontheothersideofthecountry?

ATMCardvs.CheckCard

Asanalternativetowritingchecksandusingacreditcard,mostmajorbankshaveteamedupwithmajorcredit-cardcompaniestoissuecheckcards.

CheckcardsaredifferentfromstraightATMcardsinacoupleofways.First,checkcardsarealsoknownasdebitcardsbecauseofhowtheywork—insteadofgettingcreditforyourpurchaseandreceivingamonthlybill,likeyoudowithacreditcard,acheck/debitcarddeductsmoneyfromyourcheckingorsavingsaccount.

Also,whileyoucanonlyuseyourATMcardattheATMmachine(andsomegrocerystores),youcanuseacheckcardatmostretailersthatacceptcreditcards.

Thereareexceptions.Somehotelsandrentalcarservicesonlyacceptcreditcardsbecauseit'seasier,cheaper,andlessofarisktothemthancheckcards.Thosethatdoacceptcheckcardsoftenputacertainamountofmoneyinyourbankaccount"onhold"(unavailabletoyou)usuallythecostoftheroomorrentalincludingtaxesandotherfees,plusapercentageofthetotalorafeetocoverpossibledamages.Whenyoucheckoutofthehotelorturninyourrentalcar,thedifferencebetweenthe"hold'amountandwhatyou'reactuallybilledisreleasedbackintoyouraccount.Thisissomethingtoconsiderwhenusingyourdebitcardtoreserveahotelroomorrentacar.

6.CommonFaultsandEyeMovement

POINTINGATWORDS

Afaultthatisoftenseenwhenstudentsaretryingtoconcentrateispointingtothewordswithafinger,pencilorruler.Youngchildrenandverypoorreadersoftenpointwithafingerateachwordinmm.Slightlymorematurereaderssometimesholdapencilorrulerunderneaththelinewhichtheyarereading.Whilemarkingthelinemightbehelpfulforbeginningreaders,itiscertainlyunnecessaryfornormalreaders.Besidesslowingdownthereaderthrough-themeremechanicalmovementofpencil,ruler,orfinger,pointingatlinesorwordstendstocausethestudenttofocushisattentiononthewrongthing.Theimportantthingtoconcentrateonwhilereadingistheidea.thattheauthoristryingtocommunicate,andnotthelocationofthewordsonthepage.Theeyesofanychildoldenoughtolearnhowtoreadarecertainlyskillfulenoughtobeabletofollowalineofprintwithoutextrahelpfromfingersorrulers.

Anothercommonfaultthatiseasilyobservedisheadmovement.Thismostoftenoccurswhenstudentsarenervousabouttheirreadingortryinghard,asduringareadingspeedtest.Withheadmovementthestudenttriestoaimhisnoseatthewordheisreadingsothatashereadsacrossthelinehisheadturnsslightly.Whenhemakesthereturnsweeptobeginanewlinehisheadquicklyturnsbacksothathisnoseispointedattheleft-handmargin,andhecannowbegintoreadthenewlinebyslowlyturninghishead.Thebeliefthatthisheadmovementaidsreadingispurenonsense.Eyemusclesarequitecapableofshiftingtheeyesfromwordtoword,andtheyneednohelpfromneckmuscles.

Oftenstudentsarequiteunawarethattheyaremovingtheirheadswhilereadingandtheyneedtoberemindedbytheteachernottodoit.

VOCALIZATION

Vocalizationisanotherfault.Somepoorreadersthinkitnecessarytopronouncealoudeachwordasitisread.Usuallythispronunciationisquitesoft,sothatthestudentismorewhisperingtohimselfthanactuallyreadingaloud,buteventhisisveryundesirable.Thechiefdisadvantageofpronouncingwordswhileyoureadthemisthatittendstotiereadingspeedtospeakingspeed,andthesilentreadingofmostnormalreadersisnearlytwiceasfastastheirspeaking.Usuallythisfaultcanbeeliminatedinolderstudentsbytheirownconsciouseffort,possiblywiththeaidofafewremindersfromtheteacher.

7.LanguageVarieties

Languagesconstantlyundergochanges,resultinginthedevelopmentofdifferentvarietiesofthelanguages.

A.Dialects

Adialectisavarietyofalanguagespokenbyanidentifiablesubgroupofpeople.Traditionally,linguistshaveappliedthetermdialecttogeographicallydistinctlanguagevarieties,butincurrentusagethetermcanincludespeechvarietiescharacteristicofothersociallydefinablegroups.Determiningwhethertwospeechvarietiesaredialectsofthesamelanguage,orwhethertheyhavechangedenoughtobeconsidereddistinctlanguages,hasoftenprovedadifficultandcontroversialdecision.Linguistsusuallycitemutualintelligibilityasthemajorcriterioninmakingthisdecision.Iftwospeechvarietiesarenotmutuallyintelligible,thenthespeechvarietiesaredifferentlanguages;iftheyaremutuallyintelligiblebutdiffersystematicallyfromoneanother,thentheyaredialectsofthesamelanguage.Thereareproblemswiththisdefinition,however,becausemanylevelsofmutualintelligibilityexist,andlinguistsmustdecideatwhatlevelspeechvarietiesshouldnolongerbeconsideredmutuallyintelligible.Thisisdifficulttoestablishinpractice.Intelligibility(可理解性)hasalargepsychologicalcomponent:Ifaspeakerofonespeechvarietywantstounderstandaspeakerofanotherspeechvariety,understandingismorelikelythanifthiswerenotthecase.Inaddition,chainsofspeechvarietiesexistinwhichadjacentspeechvarietiesaremutuallyintelligible,butspeechvarietiesfartherapartinthechainarenot.Furthermore,sociopoliticalfactorsalmostinevitablyinterveneintheprocessofdistinguishingbetweendialectsandlanguages.Suchfactors,forexample,ledtothetraditionalcharacterizationofChineseasasinglelanguagewithanumberofmutuallyunintelligibledialects.

Dialectsdevelopprimarilyasaresultoflimitedcommunicationbetweendifferentpartsofacommunitythatshareonelanguage.Undersuchcircumstances,changesthattakeplaceinthelanguageofonepartofthecommunitydonotspreadelsewhere.Asaresult,thespeechvarietiesbecomemoredistinctfromoneanother.Ifcontactcontinuestobelimitedforalongenoughperiod,sufficientchangeswillaccumulatetomakethespeechvarietiesmutuallyunintelligible.Whenthisoccurs,andespeciallyifitisaccompaniedbythesociopoliticalseparationofagroupofspeakersfromthelargercommunity,itusuallyleadstotherecognitionofseparatelanguages.ThedifferentchangesthattookplaceinspokenLatinindifferentpartsoftheRomanEmpire,forexample,eventuallygaverisetothedistinctmodemRomancelanguages,includingFrench,Spanish,Portuguese,Italian,andRomanian.

Inordinaryusage,thetermdialectcanalsosignifyavarietyofalanguagethatisdistinctfromwhatisconsideredthestandardform.ofthatlanguage.Linguists,however,considerthestandardlanguagetobesimplyonedialectofalanguage.Forexample,thedialectofFrenchspokeninParisbecamethestandardlanguageofFrancenotbecauseofanylinguisticfeaturesofthisdialectbutbecausePariswasthepoliticalandculturalcentreofthecountry.

B.SocialVarietiesofLanguage

Sociolects(社會方言)aredialectsdeterminedbysocialfactorsratherthanbygeography.Socioleetsoftendevelopduetosocialdivisionswithinasociety,suchasthoseofsocioeconomicclassandreligion.InNewYorkCity,forexample,theprobabilitythatsomeonewillpronouncetheletterwhenitoccursattheendofasyllable,asinthewordfourth,varieswithsocioeconomicclass.Thepronunciationofafinalingeneralisassociatedwithmembersofhighersocioeconomicclasses.ThesameistrueinEnglandofthepronunciationofh,asinhat.Membersofcertainsocialgroupsoftenadoptaparticularpronunciationasawayofdistinguishin
