A derivative is a security which "derives" its value from another underlying (61) instrument, index, or other investment.

听力原文： When a savings account is opened in a bank, the depositor must sign a deposit agreement. By signing agreement, the depositor agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the bank. At this time, a passbook may be given to the depositor. This is a small book in which the bank teller enters the date and amount of each deposit or withdrawal and initials the entry. The passbook is to be presented at the bank or mailed to the bank along with a deposit or withdrawal slip each time money is deposited or withdrawn from the account. An alternative practice for depositing or withdrawing money from a savings account is to give the depositor a small register for recording deposits and withdrawals and a pad of deposit withdrawal rotors. This procedure eliminates the use of the passbook.

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere
in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and
the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you
how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks
pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before
buying a CD.If you draw your money before it is due,
A:you have to pay interest to the bank.
B:you have to close your account.
C:you have to open a new account.
D:you have to pay a penalty or fee.答案：D解析： -

Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for.If you are
saving to buy a dictionary or to go to a concert,then probably keep your money somewhere
in your room.
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip,where would
you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will
help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank（猪形储蓄
罐）,one year later you'll still have the same amount of money you put in.If you put
your money in a savings account,one year later,you'll have more money than you put
in.Why?
When you keep your money in a bank,your money earns interest.Interest is the
amount of money a bank pays you to use your money.The bank uses your money(and
the money of other people,too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you
how much money there is in your account.It also tells you how much interest you have
earned.If you leave your money in the bank,you can watch it grow!
Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD.If you have
some money that you don't need to use for a long time,this is a good way to make your
money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of
time.That period might be from six months to five years.You can't touch your money
during that time.If you do,you must pay a penalty,or fee.
Since the bank is using your money for that time period,it will pay you interest.You
will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why?It's
because you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time.Banks
pay different rates of interest.So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before
buying a CD.A bank statement tells you
A:the amount of money you have in the bank.
B:the current rates of interest.
C:the current rates of exchange.
D:the best way to save your money.答案：A解析： -
