问题 It is a matter of common observation that although incomes keep going up over the years, people never seem to become much better off! Prices are rising continuously. This condition is termed one of inflation; the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation. What could be bought ten years ago for one dollar now costs well over two dollars. Present indications are that this rate of inflation is tending to rise rather than to fall. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices one might think that inflation do not matter. But it does. When money is losing value, it lacks one of the qualities of a good money — stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable standard of deferred (延缓) payments. Nobody wants to hold a wasting asset (资产), so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore stimulates consumer spending, and prevents people from saving.
选项 A、employment no longer becomes a problem
B、we find our money increase in its value
C、money keeps losing its value
D、people can always find better paying jobs
答案C
解析 此题题干问“通货膨胀是怎样一种情况”。在原文第3句话可以得出在通货膨胀的情况下，货币失去了它原先的价值。因此选项C. money keeps losing its value是正确答案。
