复合题It is a common problem in the non-family owned private limited company: a shareholder/director wants to retire or leave the business, but one or more of his fellow shareholders/directors want to continue.【C1】 It is easy enough for a director to retire, but the likehood is that he will want to cash in on his shares which have accumulated some value over the period of his participations in the business.Frequently, though, his fellow shareholder/director(s) do not have the financial resources to acquire the shares at their market value. A wide variety of options exit, but purchased own shares by the company is one of the most useful. Purchase of own shares is exactly what says it is: the company acquires the shares from the shareholder. In principle, it is a simple concept but one which is covered by a number of very important legislative provisions, both in company and tax law. 【C2】 Although at first sight the legislation appears to obstruct what might otherwise be a simple process, it actually exists to facilitate the purchase, while protecting the creditor (so far as company la is concerned).In fact, the provisions are too numerous to cover in detail in few words and this article is designed only to outline the rules, regulations and options. Professional advice and assistance should always be sought to implement any purchase of own shares.【C3】It was always the case that a company could not acquirer its own share, because in doing so it was obtaining ownership of itself, which is contrary to the most fundamental legal principles surrounding the nature and existences of companies.The Companies Art 1981 changed all that and the provisions it introduced are now incorporated into me Companies Act 1985.【C4】 In essence, provided a company is permitted to do so by its Memorandum, and Articles bof Association, any company can now acquire its own shares (subject to there being at least one left).Because purchase of own shares is a relatively recent innovation, many companies, Memorandum and Articles of Association do not contain this provision but appropriate provisions can be included by Special Resolution, requiring a 75%.【C5】 Although the purchase must normally be made out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares and/of distributable profits, important provisions exist for private companies to make the purchase out of capital.If distributable profits are insufficient then, provided the company s solvent after the redemption and is believed by the directors to be a going concern for a further year (a statutory declaration on which the auditors must report and concur), then the purchase can go ahead.

复合题Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated; they have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed. The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are questioning the assumptions of their elders: and disturbing their sense of feeling contended. They doubt that the older generation has created the best of all possible worlds.What they reject more than anything is conformity. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear dull gray suits and convict haircuts? If we turn our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means?Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives; so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn’t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to the older for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not sinful. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure; to shed restricting inhibitions. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. The world is full of uncertainty and tension. This is their glorious heritage. Can we be surprised that they should so often question the sanity of the generation that passed it down?
复合题While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states—at least in getting people off welfare. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994. In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent-twice the national average.For advocates（ 代言人） for the poor, that’s an indication much more needs to be done. “More people are getting jobs, but it’s not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lain, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory. “Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin（ 毒素） that was poisoning the family,” says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low income communities. It’s beginning to rebuild the work ethic（ 道德观） , which is much more important.”Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.
