Business in a free enterprise system depends on factors both in the economy and within individual companies.The most important of these factors include(1)productive resources,(2)profits, and(3)competition.Productive resources enable business firms to produce goods and provide services.They include natural resources — land and raw materials, such as minerals, water, and sunlight;capital — a company’s factories, supplies, and equipment, and its money to buy these things;labor — the work of a company’s employees;and technology — a firm’s scientific and business research and inventions.The productive resources of a business are also known as inputs.The kind and quantity of inputs depend on the goods and services, called outputs that are produced.For example, such service businesses as hotels and telephone companies need the work of many employees.Many farms require large areas of land.Most manufacturing companies must have large amounts of capital for the purchase of machinery and raw materials.Profits are the earnings of a firm after all expenses have been paid.These expenses include The goal of nearly all business firms is to earn a maximum profit.Most business policies the cost of productive resources in the form of wages, rent, and interest.are based on this profit motive.Sales provide the income for most firms, and executives try to increase their company’s profit by boosting the sale of outputs to consumers.Executives also try to run their companies efficiently.Efficient employees and equipment help to lower production costs — and thus increase profits — by getting the job done with as little waste of both energy and time as possible.Competition among business firms affects the price and quality of goods and services.Firms must maintain reasonable prices and standards to attract and keep customers.People are not likely to buy from a company if they are dissatisfied with its product, or if they can purchase the product for less money elsewhere.Firms compete for sales by using such techniques as advertising and by offering special discounts or bonuses.Certain types of businesses have few or no competitors.Most of these businesses provide essential services to the public.For example, many public utility companies have a legal monopoly in their fields.In providing such services as electricity and water, one company may be able to operate more efficiently than several competing firms.Other enterprises, such as airports and railroads, are too expensive for several companies to operate in

the same area.In these types of businesses, government regulation replaces competition in setting prices and establishing standards of quality.Write ‘T’ for true, ‘F’ for false or ‘NM’ for not mentioned.1.Business in a free enterprise system depends on many factors, among which the most important ones include productive resources, profits and competition.（）2.Productive resources involve natural resources, a company’s factories, employers, employees and technology.（）3.By using the word ‘capital’, we refer to a company’s factories, supplies, equipment and its（）4.Business in a free enterprise system has more freedom and independence in comparison with other kinds of enterprise system.()（）money to buy these things besides labor and technology.5.The kind and quantity of outputs rely on the products and services, called inputs.6.Profits are the savings of a firm before all expenses have been paid.()（）8.Efficient employees and equipment are of particular importance in lowering production costs and in getting the job done with as little waste of both time and energy as possible.（）9.Advertising and offering special discounts or bonuses are the techniques used by companies to compete for sales.（）10.When offering such services as electricity, clothes, food and water, a monopoly can（）

You could say there is no reason.It’s true that a special kind of paper is used to make dollar bills, and they are pretty, but that’s not what makes them valuable.The real reason money is valuable is that everyone believes it is.Ancient economies had no paper money or coins.Some used barter----trading one thing for another.Others used all kinds of objects as money.Any object would do, as long as there was not an unlimited amount of it.Animals or metals were popular, and so were manufactured products like jewelry or weapons.Wealth in ancient Greece was measured in tools or cattle.This kind of money had two purposes.First, it was useful in itself.Tools and cattle can be used for farming.And second, it was a way to symbolize and measure value.A house, for example, would be valued at a certain number of tools or cattle.This greatly simplified trade.Other societies used money that was totally symbolic.For instance, American Indians used wampum, which is made from seashells.And until recently on the pacific island of Yap, people use large stone discs as money.In most places these types of money died out because more practical forms of money were invented.People started using precious metals, such as gold and silver, that were easier to carry around than tools or stones.And in the eighteenth century, paper money was introduced.At first people were suspicious of new currency, but they came to accept it because the government or bank issuing it would exchange an equal amount of gold for the paper.A $ 10 bill really was worth $ 10 for gold.But now, people are used to the idea that the government doesn’t have to back its money with gold.Everyone believes that a $ 10 bill is worth $10 and that is good enough.But if, for some reason, people ever lost faith in paper money, ten dollars wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.Questions 31-35 are based on passage 1 31.According to the writer the real reason money is valuable is that everyone believes

.a.money is valuable

b.gold is valuable c.money is gold

32.The writer of this selection mentioned animals, metals and manufactured products like jewelry or weapons because

.they were valuable they were used as money in ancient times people liked them 33.Paper money was invented

.to take the place of other types of money to be replaced by other types of money in the nineteenth century 34.At first people did not have trust in paper money because

.it was not worth much

the paper was not of good quality it looked like an ordinary piece of paper 35.People came to accept paper money when

.the government began to issue it the bank began to issue it they could exchange it for the same amount of gold Passage 2 Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a financial difficulty, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues significantly.Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.Schools are bad businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the enterprise.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about.Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments, they may go under.Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity.There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are abundant examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world.It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity.Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous.In an imperfect society, diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.Questions 36-40 are based on passage 2 36.In the passage, the author appeals to the public to support

.a.private higher education in general b.public higher education in general c.high-quality private universities and colleges 37.According to the passage, schools are bad businesses because of

.a.the nature of school b.poor teachers c.bad management 38.What does the phrase “go under”(Par.2, sentence 3)probably mean? a.have low tuition b.get into difficulties c.do a bad job educationally 39.Which of the following statements is TRUE? a.There are many cases to indicate that private schools are superior to public schools.b.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable to uniformity of education.c.Each time tuition is raised, the enrollment goes up.40.In the author’s opinion, the way that can save private schools lies in

.a.full enrollment b.raising tuition c.national support Passage 3 A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language.Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed.You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction.They are all about five hundred words long.They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge.Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel.If you read this kind of English, with understanding at, say, four hundred words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650—700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved.Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A., for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension.Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.Questions 41-45 are based on passage 3 41.According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you a.only in your reading of a physics textbook.b.improve your understanding of an economics textbook.c.not only in your language study but also in other subjects.42.Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph ? a.Those beyond one’s reading comprehension.b.Those concerning with common knowledge.c.Those without the demand for specialized knowledge.43.The average untrained native speaker at the University of Minnesota reads at a.about three hundred words per minute.b.about two hundred and forty-five words per minute.c.about sixty words per minute.44.According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota? a.You can increase your reading speed by three times.b.No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.c.You can double your reading speed.45.Where do you think the passage is taken from? a.The introduction to a book on fast reading.b.A local newspaper for young people.c.A school newspaper run by students.Passage 4 Cultural Wars

Films made in th United Stated have continued to sweep the globe.According to the list of 1998’s most successful movies put together by Variety magazine, U.S.films took the top 39 places;Britain’s The Full Monty came in at number 40.As a consequence, British movie’s market share fell to 14 percent of the home market, while the respective figures for French filsm were 27 percent in France and 10 percent for German films in Germany.The European Union’s trade deficit with the United States in films and television is annually between $ 5 and $ 6 billion.Several of Hollywood’s most successful movies have drawn from international resources.There men and a Baby was a remake of French comedy.Total Recall was made partly by French money, was directed by a Dutch man and starred an Austrian.The English Patient was directed by a Briton, shot in Italy, and starred French and British talent.The quest for new ideas and fresh talent has lead studios to develop subsidiaries in Europe: SONY’s bridge in London, Miramax in Berlin, and Warner Brothers both in Berlin and Paris.Questions 46-50 are based on passage 4 46.American films have continued to

the world.a.influence

b.win

c.challenge 47.British films share the 14 percent in its

China’s membership in the World Trade Organization creates the potential for impressive gains in economic efficiency.Indeed the gains are likely to be greater than those predicted in most published quantitative estimates, since those studies do not capture fully the likely effect of more foreign competition on domestic firms.No doubt many jobs will be lost in a few sectors.But prospects for generating employment are bountiful as China benefits from the phase-out of arrangements restricting world trade in apparel, and as Taiwan, Mexico, the EU, and other markets phase out and eliminate the WTO-inconsistent trade barriers they have maintained against a broad array of Chinese goods.Passage 2 The major advertising media are newspaper, magazines, direct mail, outdoor advertising, television, and radio.Newspapers account for the greatest part of advertising expenditure, with television running a fairly close second.Magazine advertising is perhaps the most prestigious, and direct mail is certainly the most selective medium.Radio and magazine advertising can also be quite selective, and radio is relatively inexpensive.
