①Several factors work against the disappearance of the paper system.②First,it is very expensive to set up the computer,card reader,and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the dominant form of payment.③Second,paper checks have the advantage that they provide receipts,something that many consumers are unwilling to give up.④Third,the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of"float"—it takes several days before a check is cashed and funds are withdrawn from the issuer's account,which means that the writer of the check can earn interest on the funds in the meantime.⑤Because electronic payments are immediate,they eliminate the float for the consumer.[选自2013英语(二)真题]

①有几个因素让纸币系统不会消失。
②第一,将电子货币作为主要支付方式所需的计算机、读卡器和通信网络的费用非常昂贵。
③第二,纸质支票的优势在于能够提供收据,这是很多消费者不愿放弃的。
④第三,用纸质支票会给消费者几天的“自由浮动时间”——支票兑换成现金,以及资金从开票人的账户里取出来总是要花上几天时间的,这就意味着支票的签发方能在此期间赚取利息。
⑤而因为电子支付是即时的,客户也就没有缓冲时间了。
