原创外刊改编语法填空题百日打卡Day 7 Did social media cause the banking panic? From: Economist The banking turmoil that has sent a handful of American and European lenders to the wall in recent weeks has a new feature. Use of social media and messaging apps, which spread information at lightning pace to an ever-larger group of panickers, marks a break from past _____1_____(crisis). Meanwhile, new digital-finance tools let nervous depositors withdraw funds as soon as the notion strikes them, whether from offices in San Francisco _____2_____ ski slopes in Saint Moritz. After the fall of Silicon Valley Bank, the idea of faster bank runs is understandably causing concern among analysts and legislators. Yet the wave of new tech in the past decade and a bit is by no means the first to change behaviour. Previous examples suggest something of a pattern: innovations initially help facilitate a boom, contributing to exuberance based on a sense of futuristic possibility, before speeding up and magnifying the eventual bust. History also suggests that recent technological changes may have a deeper impact, reshaping markets in the long run, too. From the 1840s onwards, America was blanketed by the electric telegraph, _____3_____ transmitted messages by overhead wires, connecting _____4_____(previous) disparate financial markets in Boston, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia. In 1866 reliable communication became possible between America and Europe as well, thanks to an undersea telegraph cable. Historians credit these new methods of transmitting financial information with smoothing _____5_____ pricing inefficiencies. The gap between American and British cotton prices dropped by _____6_____ third, for example, and volatility also declined. The new form of communication was significant enough to have left a legacy. Among currency traders, the sterling-dollar exchange rate is still known informally as “cable”. But _____7_____(effiecient) often comes at a cost. In the 19th century, communication by cable was expensive and limited, and the information received at risk of manipulation by those transmitting it. During the panic of 1873, correspondents at The Economist went back and forth about whether the debilitating effects of new technologies, spreading panic from one market to another, _____8_____(outweigh) the positives. A century later, new technology again provoked worries during a market crash in October 1987. The Brady Commission, which later investigated the slump in America, found that electronic communication across borders exacerbated problems. Innovation has sped up sudden market wobbles, truncating panics that would have taken months in the 19th century to weeks. In the modern era, timelines have contracted further, from weeks to days or even hours. Yet this may turn out to be just one of the ways in which frictionless trading and freely available information, of varying quality, affect finance in years _____9_____(come). The profits banks _____10_____(enjoy) for decades—or centuries—thanks to high transactions costs and low financial literacy might also become harder to sustain.  原创外刊改编语法填空题打卡Day 7 Did social media cause the banking panic?

Some have argued ______2_____ escalating climate issues have created an existential threat and accompanying anxiety and dread. Others have said today’s more secular, permissive culture has uprooted and confused our most vulnerable young people. But neither side seems to grasp the real urgency of the issue. According to the CDC’s findings, more than one in five of the 17,000 high school students surveyed reported attempting suicide. Their rates of sadness and hopelessness are the highest in a decade, reflecting an escalating trend ______3_____(make) worse by the isolation and stress of the pandemic. The severity of the issue has been confirmed by pediatricians across the country who have seen a spike in patients reporting high levels of anxiety and depression, and ______4_____ hospitals that have seen a dramatic rise in admissions for suicidal adolescents. New York Times reporting includes stunning statistics from the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, where there were 8,000 emergency room visits by suicidal adolescents in 2022. By contrast, there were 3,000 in 2010 ______5_____ 250 in 1982. It's time to stop the finger-pointing and focus our collective attention on this generation of struggling teenagers. That means putting aside our differences and approaching this issue like it’s the life-and-death matter it is. As a start, we must, as a society, evolve our thinking on how to respond to mental health challenges. Instead of ______6_____(mere) reacting when young people indicate the extent of their hopelessness, we need to take more proactive measures. For example, rather than waiting for teenagers to admit they’re having violent fantasies or engaging in suicidal ideation – ______7_____, of course, represent major warning signs – we must engage with them when we see early red flags: dramatic behavioral changes, sharp declines in grades, a greater tendency to isolate, etc. We shouldn’t assume such challenges represent mere teenage angst. Parents and other caregivers, as well as teachers and others who have direct contact and ______8_____(expose), must all embrace this preventive approach. Crucially, they must not be afraid to ask direct questions about suicidal thoughts or intentions, resisting the false notion that raising the issue of suicide creates a risk that wasn’t there previously. It’s also particularly important for parents to understand the help that is available to their children. For instance, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health ______9_____(professional) can provide clinical care; case managers help access wrap-around services; and mental health attorneys guide families through the complex legal framework of our mental health system and, in some cases, conduct carefully staged, clinically and legally sound interventions. Hospitalization might also be appropriate when the person in question poses an immediate danger to themself or others. At the macro level, our country can do so much more to help individuals struggling with mental health challenges and their families. For example, we can demand parity, meaning insurance coverage for behavioral health issues that is no less generous than coverage for physical ailments, thus _____10_____(less) the financial burden associated with therapy and other forms of treatment. We can also press our representatives for funding for crucial community-based behavioral health programs and exploration of how to expand the pipeline of individuals seeking careers in the mental health field. It is time that those who have the power to amplify their voice and drive change focus on helping teenagers and families access the help they need, and work toward changing our systems to reduce the burden on these individuals.
