When your family wants to buy or replace a car, a television, or a washing machine, you find the money either from savings or by borrowing from the bank, a hire-purchase company or perhaps a friend. Similarly, a family buying a house for the first time commonly borrows from a building society (房屋互助协会). If you own a private business, a garage, a shop, or a farm, you will need, from time to time, to buy new equipment, new furnishings, or, if you are doing well, new premises (房屋) so that you can expand. Some of the cost you can meet from the profits you have kept in the business, but often you will need help. You will go to your bank, to a finance house, or perhaps to a relative or friend for finance provided from his savings. When you borrow money or raise money in this way you pay it back out of future profits. Many large businesses, however, need cash for new developments or expansion far in excess of what can be provided from their profits or from private sources of capital. A new factory can cost millions of pounds to construct and bring into production; a new design of car or brand of medicine likewise can cost millions of pounds to design, develop, test and market before it reaches the stage where it earns a profit. Often these costs can be met from profits earned in other parts of the business or from reserves built up from profits earned in past years. Sometimes, however, it is necessary, and often it may be more advantageous, to raise new money from other sources. There can be little prospect of raising the sort of sums needed by major businesses from friends or acquaintances, and generally the banks are reluctant to provide sufficient cash on a permanent basis for long-term projects, though they will provide short-term finance. Such companies can sometimes only raise the money they need to stay in the front of industry, develop new products and buy raw materials by turning to the public at large and inviting it to lend them cash or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. This they can do by offering shares in the business or loan capital through stock exchange (证券交易所).1 If a person wants to buy a house for the first time, what could he probably do?A Borrow from a building society.B Borrow from the bank.C Borrow from his parents.D Borrow from a friend.2 According to the second paragraph, many large businesses ____ .A spend a long time designing a new brandB make a quick profit from the automobile or medical industryC need a lot of money to develop and expandD pay little attention to the testing and marketing3 Which of the following has the closest meaning to "reserves" (Line 5, Para. 2)?A Savings.B Means.C Contents.D Jewels.4 Major businesses get money to pay for expansion by ____ .A borrowing from friendsB turning to banksC borrowing from building societiesD selling their shares5 According to the passage, we can know that ____ .A companies can only get help from banksB banks won’t lend money to individualsC banks like to provide long-term finance for large businessesD banks can provide short-term money for large businesses

Text 4　　Europe is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family―friendly until women are part of senior management decisions, and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male.indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.　　The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60 percent. This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.　　Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family　　“Personally, I don’t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “But I like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,” according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.　　I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. Bur, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.　　After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position― no matter how much “soft pressure ” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook―they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.　　If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women---whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers--and all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of ______. A. more social justiceB. massive media attentionC. suitable public policiesD. greater “soft pressure”
