Large, multinational corporations may
be the companies whose ups and downs seize headlines. But to a far greater
extent than most Americans realize, the economy’s vitality depends on the
fortunes of tiny shops and restaurants, neighborhood services and factories.
Small businesses, defined as those with fewer than 100 workers, now employ
nearly 60 percent of the work force and are expected to generate half of all new
jobs between now and the year 2000. Some 1.2 million small firms have opened
their doors over the past six years of economic growth, and 1989 will see an
additional 200000 entrepreneurs striking off on their own.
Too
many of these pioneers, however, will blaze ahead unprepared. Idealists will
overestimate the clamor for their products or fail to factor in the competition.
Nearly everyone will underestimate, often fat

[单项选择] Passage Two
Large companies need a way to reach the savings of
the public at large. 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 sum 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 institution, both at home and overseas.
When the
saver needs his money back, he does not have to go
A. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know
B. rely on their own financial resources
C. depend on the population as a whole for finance
D. persuade the banks to provide them with long-term finance
[单项选择] Passage Two
Proponents of creating large private
sectors as quickly as possible in transition economies offer both political and
economic arguments to support their view. They argue that if democracy is to
become a viable political system in the countries undergoing transition, the
state’s monopoly over the bases of political power must be broken so that the
countervailing sources of political influence may emerge [Berger, 1991].
Otherwise, the nomenklatura, managers of stateowned firms and former
bureaucrats, may sabotage or block economic reforms, as well as loot, dissipate
or transfer to their own possession the assets of the firms they manage. By
creating property owners, privatization can create an ascent middle class that
has a stake in the creation and maintenance of an effective system of property
rights and the pursuit of economic poli
A. a political argument.
B. an economic argument.
C. an argument based upon demonstrable proof.
D. an argument favored by all economists.

By and large, governments of all persuasions, of all political persuasions in Australia have been reducing proportionately the amount of money that goes to education and many of us think that really is a great pity and shows a lack of foresight into what Australia really needs, but that nonetheless is what is happening. As a result of that many universities and schools are heavily dependent on overseas students to make up the shortfall. //I think we need to be really very careful in Australia that as this trend continues that overseas students who come to Australia not only to learn facts, but also to learn something about Australia and the Australian way of life otherwise they will have a very skewed view of what our Australia is about. Because I think it is important that if you go to an Australian university then at least you’d meet a reasonable number of Australians. //
There is a big push from many universities to recruit more and more students and
