各位同学们，为了督促帮助大家持续提升英语能力，培君老师们特意给大家准备了托福每日一包。每天覆盖听说读写内容，坚持完成两周以上，就能见到自己的英语能力不断上涨哟。

1.听写包 答案：

Listen to part of a lecture in a material science class.

So what’s the first thing that comes to mind when wetalk about uses for copper? Tammy?
The penny. It’s made of copper.
Okay, good one. But what’s a one cent coin worththese days?
You might get back change, like if you go to the storeand give the cashier 5 dollars for something thatcosts 4 dollars 98 cents,
you’ll get 2 cents back, but 2 cents does not buymuch.
The value of the penny in terms of what it’ll buy has gotten so low that there’s actually a moveafoot to eliminate the coin from US currency, but there’s more to it.
As Tammy implied, the penny looks like it’s solid copper.
It is reddish orange with a bright metallic luster when it’s new, but that’s just the copperplating.
The penny’s not solid copper, in actuality, it is almost 98 percent zinc.
But given the rising value of both these metals, each penny now costs about 1.7 cents toproduce, so it generates what is called negative Seigniorage.
Negative Seigniorage is when the cost of minting a coin is more than the coin’s face value.
Even though the penny generates quite a bit of negative Seigniorage, there is concern that ifit’s eliminated, we’ll need more nickels,
because more merchants might start setting prices in five-cent increments, 4 dollar 95 centsand so on.
So we need a trusty five-cent piece that can be minted economically.
请听材料科学课上的部分内容。
提到铜的用途时，你们的脑海中会最先出现什么？Tammy，你来说？
便士，它是用铜做的。
不错的例子，但是如今一个一分钱的硬币值多少呢？
你可能会拿回找零，比如，如果你去商店，然后买了某个4.98美元的东西，你给了收银员5美元
会得到2分钱的找零，但是2两分钱买不了什么。
便士在购买力方面的价值变得非常低，以至于事实上现在正在进行一个从美国货币中淘汰这种面额的硬币的行动，但是并不仅因为这个原因。
正如Tammy所说，便士看上去像纯铜的。
新便士是红褐色的，带有一层亮金属光泽，但那只是镀铜的。
便士不是纯铜的，事实上，它的材质几乎98%都是锌。
但是考虑到这两种金属的价值都在上涨，现在每个便士的制造成本约1.7分钱，所以它产生了负铸币利差。
负铸币利差就是铸造一枚硬币的成本高于这个硬币的面值。
虽然便士产生了负铸币利差，但是有人担心如果淘汰了它，我们就会需要更多五分钱，
因为更多的商家可能会开始给价格定五分钱的增额，比如4.95美元等等。
所以我们需要能划算地铸造的可靠的五分硬币。

2.阅读包答案:

家用电器也将会变得如此智能化，以至于控制和操作它们会引起一种新的心理疾病——厨房狂躁症。

3.写作包答案:

Currently,there are about 270 million people agedbetween 18 and 30 in China,and the owning rate ofsmartphone among this age group is up to 92%,farabove the global average of 67%.According tostatistics,the annual per capita disposable incomeof Chinese urban residents is 24,565 yuan,with average monthly income per capita being2,047 yuan.That means,urban residents can afford an iPhone 5 with a price of 5,288 yuan afterworking for 3 months.Whereas,during the first 10 months in 2012,actual per capita disposableincome in America is 32,653.1 dollars,with average monthly income per capita being 3,265 dollars.That tells us,American people can afford 16 iPhones 5 by working only for onemonth.Calculating in this way,American people's consumptive power of iPhone 5 is 48 timesthat of Chinese people.But the coverage of smartphone in America is still surpassed byChina,from which Chinese people's great enthusiasm towards smartphone is obvious.
