　　On October 29. for the first time in nine years. the People’s Bank of China（PBOC）raised interest rates. The rate for one-year renminbi deposits（存款）was increased from 1. 98 per cent to 2. 25 per cent. And the rate for one-year renminbi loans（代款）went up from 5. 31 per cent to 5. 58 per cent. Longer term rates saw higher increases.

　　So what are interest rates? Banks offer some money to encourage people to keep their savings in a savings account（储蓄帐户）. and ask more money in return if you borrow money from them. The percentages of the extra money are the interest rates.

　　If your parents have borrowed money from banks to pay for houses or cars. the interest rates rise was not good news.

　　An increase in the interest rates on a loan means the borrower will need to repay more to the bank. For example. a person who borrowed. 10. 000 yuan from the bank had to return 10. 531 yuan before the interest rise. But after the interest rates are increased. he has to pay extra 27 yuan per year.

　　The rise came following a great demand for the cooling of the over-heating Chinese economy. For several years. pushed by a huge investment and construction projects. the country has had the fastest economic growth in the world. But this can be damaging just as it is when a person grows too fast and can no longer fit their clothes. It is hoped that with a higher interest rate people will act more cautiously and take less risks when borrowing money.

　　“The rate rise will help the economy to cool down. It will reduce investment in unnecessary industrial and construction projects. ” said Su Ning. deputy governor（副行长）of the PBOC.

　　It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.

　　The battle didn't last long. The Bismarck's first torpedo (鱼雷) hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1, 419 men with her.

　　But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged (损坏). Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.

　　For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her from the air. The Bismarck was hit.
