单选题One phase of the business cycle is the expan- sion phase. This phase is a twofold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery Line period there is ever-growing expansion of existing (5) facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever-increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capi- (10) tal is invested in machinery or "heavy" industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a great expansion in automobiles results in an expansion (15) of the steel, glass, and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials, including farmers. (20) This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is dif- fused among the various segments of the popula- tion. This prosperity period may continue to rise and rise without an apparent end. However, a (25) time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiralling upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.
