Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral obligation to give away their fortunes. In 1889 he wrote The Gospel of Wealth, in which he asserted that all personal wealth beyond that required to supply the needs of one's family should be regarded as a trust fund to be administered for the benefit of the community. During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $ 350 million. He died in Lenox, Massachusetts, on August 11,1919.
What is the passage mainly about?
A.Carnegie's career.
B.Carnegie's contribution.
C.Carnegie's life.
D.Carnegie's fortune.

Using Your Tumble-Drier(滚筒烘干式洗衣机)
Controls Timer(计时器)Control
To operate the drier, close the door and turn the timer control to the required. The timer can be set to any time up to 120 minutes and can be reset at any time as required to increased or reduced the time to dry, but in doing so the timer knob (旋钮) must only be turned clockwise. Turning the timer backwards will cause damage and it must therefore be turned forwards even to reach the "off" position. The timer is electrically driven and will therefore only advance when there is power supplied to the drier and the drier door is closed. The time indicated on the timer includes approximately 10 minutes of tumble of tumble with the heat off. Note that the driver (主动轮) should never be turned off leaving the clothes in the drum without first completing the heat-off cool-down period.
Heat Control
There are two levels of heat which may be selected by setting the control to (low) or(high). Many materials may be dried using high but pay particular attention to setting the control to low heat for the materials mentioned under "Drying Times" below.
Automatic Door Switch
The drier will stop when the door is opened and will restart when the door is closed, allowing items to be added or taken from the drier without the need to reset the controls.
Before Tumbling
Never over spin easy-care fabrics in your automatic washing machine or spin-drier, and always follow the washing instructions given on the Care Label attached to the garment. Easy-care and synthetic fabrics dry quickly in a tumble-drier and many of them will not need ironing if they are dried in small loads. It is important to remove them from the tumble-drier as soon as the drier stops after the cool down period to avoid causing unnecessary creasing(皱褶).
Fabric Conditioner
Conditioner added to the final rinse(漂洗)in your washing machine will give even more softness to all fabrics and is invaluable for reducing the static electricity which causes fabrics containing synthetic fibers to cling and attract dirt.
After Tumbling
All clothes lose lint(碎线头)as they wear. When clothes are hung on a washing line the lint is blown away by wind. In a tumble-drier it is collected in the lint filter. The door incorporates a mesh (网眼) lint filter which is removed by lifting out vertically. It is essential to remove the lint from the filter every time the drier is used. Failure to do this will result in poor drying performance and may lead to mechanical or electrical breakdown.
Making up Loads
Maximum loads
Cottons and linens 3kg (6.5 lb) dry weight
Synthetic fabrics 1kg (2 lb) for minimum creasing or
Cotton and viscose(黏胶织物)with 2 kg if creasing is unimportant
Special finishes
Clothes should be sorted into loads of similar fabrics before drying. Towels and other cotton items which do not need ironing can be fully dried and these will be ready to store or wear as soon as they are taken from the drier. Cotton which needs ironing can be dried to a suitable dampness by reducing times suggested by approximately one quarter. Heavy fabrics should be dried separately from lightweight fabrics as a general role. Very bulky large items which do not tumble should not be dried in a tumble-drier.
Drying Times
These will depend on the size of the load, the type of fabric and the wetness of the load. It is not therefore possible to give exact drying times to cover all the variables, but experience will enable you to set the time for fully drying or damp drying as required.
This passage gives instructions in using the tumble-drier.

Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value--that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal, which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to what products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties' desires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish for bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person willing to exchange bananas is or is not keen on fish. Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged in only one stage in the manufacture of product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, as a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on end would involve obvious disadvantages--imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity.
Using money as a medium of exchange means that _________.
A.you have to sell something in order to buy something
B.you have to buy something in order to sell something
C.you don't have to buy something in order to sell something
D.the seller and the purchaser are the same person
