题目内容
阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案
Since 1985, prices have risen in China for many reasons．However, inflation has not badly affected people' s lives because living standards have improved．
Inflation is not an unbeatable beast．In fact, economists from all over the world have found ways to stop or reduce it．There are now several methods of controlling inflation．
Reduce the amount of money being issued．
Many experts believe inflation happens because too much money is printed．The more money the central bank issues, the more inflation there is．Therefore, the most important thing to do for any government is to control the amount of money being issued．
Cut down on government spending and increase government income．
Overspending and overexpanding of governments can make inflation worse．Therefore it is helpful to reduce the size of big government bodies, cut down on their spending and pay fewer and smaller subsidis (津贴) to prevent inflation from accelerating (加速)．
Slow down the increase of salaries．
It seems that giving bigger salaries to workers helps them manage when prices of their shopping are going up．In fact, as salaries increase, the central bank will have to issue more money to pay for the increase．Thus, increasing salaries may not be so good as it sounds. It' s like cheating．Salaries should only be increased if workers produce more．
Increase bank interests (利息)．
Interest increases can make more people put money into banks．At the same time, enterprises (企业) take out fewer loans (贷款)．Demand for money on the whole is lower．
Keep prices under strict control．
Prices can be lowered by setting ceilings --- the highest prices --- for most goods and freezing prices on most goods．
