单选题In Shanghai, a growing number of foreign-funded banks are looking for local people to fill executive positions (行政主管的岗位) rather than people from their own countries as they did in the past. U.S. -based Citibank (花旗银行) put a job announcement in a local newspaper last week calling for executive trainees. It was part of Citibank"s business plan in China to draw local professionals (专业人员). Demand for personal banking services has been on the rise since China joined the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001. The move does not only happen to Citibank. Many other foreign-funded banks in the city have made similar decisions. The U.K."s Standard Chartered last year employed over 30 graduates from Chinese universities and colleges as executive trainees. They are expected to take up managerial positions at the bank"s Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) has announced it will employ more new graduates in China in the coming year. Local people account for over 92% of the office workers in its Shanghai operation.

单选题In 1848 a settler in distant, undeveloped California discovered gold near Sacramento. As the news spread, a great tide of gold-hungry men flowed into California. They came from all parts of the United States in tens of thousands. There were even gold-seekers from Europe. Some of the people move across the country by cart, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and dangers. Other sailed all the way around South Africa, finally reached the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of them searched the waters of rivers for the precious bits of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for bits of gold. They worked with almost full determination and fierce competition(竞争). Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gold rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having removed from their homes and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of. It was this great arrival of population that built up California very fast and led to its becoming a state of the United States in 1850.
