Large companies need a way to reach the savings of the public.The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs.There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects.So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits.This they do by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange.By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it.Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities.Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railway, this country could not function.All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone.The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development.In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of the country.The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.1、The money which enables those companies to go ahead with their projects is().A、exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeB、raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC、repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleD、invested in different companies in the Stock Exchange2、All the essential services on which we depend are().A、unable to provide for the needs of the populationB、financed wholly by rates and taxesC、in constant need of financial supportD、run by the government or local organizations3、The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries().A、to make certain everybody saves moneyB、to borrow as much money as they wishC、to make certain everybody lends money to themD、to raise money to finance new development

问答题Practice 10 What we today call American folk art was, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday I “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics—whether ancient Romans，seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans—have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained an increasing number of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands. The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England—especially Connecticut and Massachusetts—for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and the portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to original thirteen. During these years, the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by camera.
