单选题· Read the following extract from an article about French bank and answer the questions.· For each question 15-20, mark one letter A, B, C or D for the answer you choose. If you are buying a property in France, whether for a permanent or a holiday home, if is important to open a French bank account. Although it is possible to exist on traveller's cheques, Eurocheques and credit cards issued by British banks, the fees for these services can be expensive. The simplest way to pay regular bills, such as electricity, gas, or telephone, particularly when you are not in residence, is by direct debit from your French account. To open a current account, you will need to show your passport and birth certificate and to provide your address in native country. You will be issued with a cheque book within weeks of opening the account. In France it is illegal to be overdrawn. All accounts must be operated in credit. However, there are no bank charges. Note that cheques take longer to clear in France than in Britain, and can only be stopped if stolen or lost. The easiest way to transfer money from a British bank to a French one is by bank transfer: simply provide your British bank with the name, address and number of your French bank account. The procedure takes about a week and costs between ￡ 25 and ￡ 40 for each transaction, depending on your British bank. Alternatively, you can transfer money via a French bank in London. You can also send a sterling cheque (allow at least 12 days for the cheque to be cleared), Eurocheques or traveller's cheques. Finally, it is a good idea to make a friend of your French bank manager. His help can prove invaluable.

单选题In 1929 it looked as though the sun would never set on the American economy. For eight years in a row, the U. S. economy had been expanding rapidly. During the Roaring Twenties the typical American family drove its first car, bought its first radio, and went to the movies for the first time. With factories running at capacity, virtually anyone who wanted to work readily found a job. Under these circumstances everyone was optimistic. In his acceptance address of November 1928, President-elect Herbert Hoover echoed this optimism by declaring: "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land... We shall soon with the help of God be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation. " The booming stock market seemed to confirm this optimistic outlook. Between 1921 and 1927, the stock market's value more than doubled, adding billions of dollars to the wealth of American households and businesses. The party ended abruptly on October 24, 1929. On what came to be known as Black Thurs day, the stock market crashed. In a few hours, the market value of U. S. corporations fell abruptly, in the most frenzied selling ever seen. The next day President Hoover tried to assure America's stockholders that the economy was "on a sound and prosperous basis. " But despite his assurances and the efforts of leading bankers to stem the decline, the stock market continued to plummet. The following Tuesday ( October 29) the pace of selling quickened. By the end of the year, over $ 40 billion of wealth had vanished in the Great Crash. Rich men became paupers overnight; ordinary families lost their savings, their homes, and even their lives. The devastation was not confined to Wall Street. The financial flames engulfed the farms, the banks, and industry. Between 1930 and 1935, millions of rural families lost their farms. Auto mobile production fell from 4.5 million cars in 1929 to only 1.1 million in 1932. So many banks were forced to close that newly elected President Roosevelt had to declare a "bank holiday" in March 1933 to stem the outflow of cash to anxious depositors. Throughout these years, the ranks of the unemployed continued to swell. In October 1929, only 3 percent of the workforce was unemployed. A year later over 9 percent of the workforce was unemployed. Still, things got worse. By 1933 over one-fourth of the labor force was unable to find work. People slept in the streets, scavenged for food, and sold apples on Wall Street. The Great Depression seemed to last forever. In 1933 President Roosevelt lamented that one-third of the nation was ill-clothed, ill-housed, and ill-fed. Thousands of unemployed workers marched to the Capitol to demand jobs and aid.

单选题Capital Controls and Monetary Policy in Developing Countries This paper looks at both the theoretical and empirical literature on capital controls and finds that controls can play an important role in developing countries by helping to insulate them from some of the harmful 1 of volatile and short-term capital flows. The authors look at controls on capital inflows in Malaysia (1989-1995); Colombia (1993-1998); Chile (1989-1998); and Brazil (1992-1998), and also consider the 2 of Malaysia"s controls on outflows in 1998-2001. They conclude that there is sufficient backing in both economic theory and empirical evidence to consider more widespread 3 of capital controls in order to 4 some of the macroeconomic problems 5 with short-term capital flows, to enable certain development strategies, and to allow policymakers more flexibility with regard to crucial monetary and exchange rate policies. The paper follows what appears to be a shift in the position of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) towards such controls. In a February paper, the IMF concluded that "there may be 6 in which capital controls are a legitimate 7 of the policy 8 to surges in capital inflows. " The Fund"s Global Financial Stability Report 9 in April 2010 was less sanguine about capital controls, but the net result is that the IMF appears more open to 10 capital controls than in the past.

单选题 · For each question (15-20), mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet. {{B}} Online Ads{{/B}} After a decade of experimentation, companies have yet to find a reliable way to burnish their brands online. Research shows barely more than 1 in 1,000 people click on banner ads. What's more, they rarely hang around long enough to absorb a brand message. Former Madison Avenue hotshot Matt Freeman aims to change all that. Freeman's company, Beta-wave, is developing ways to boost visitor "engagement" and plans to charge advertisers not just by each click or view but also by people's attentiveness. The concept is untested, but it has generated excitement. Several venture capital shops in December put $22.5 million into Beta-wave. "Matt's ahead of the curve," says Sean Finnegan, chief digital officer at Starcom Media Vest, which buys ads for Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Nintendo, and others. Mad Ave was shocked when Freeman quit as Tribal DDB Wordwide's boss in June to run a small company called GoFish. Tribal is widely considered to be one of the most successful creators of online ads anywhere. GoFish, on the other hand, sold ads on a handful of lesser kids' sites, such as Mini-clip, which hosts online video games, and Cartoon Doll Emporium, where kids play dress-up with avatars. Yes, GoFish, known in the industry as an ad network, had a good reputation among advertisers looking for a cheaper alternative to sites run by Disney and Nickelodeon. But it was in debt, its stock traded over the counter, and it was losing millions a year. Freeman, who has since renamed the company Beta-wave, says he took the job because he saw unrealized potential. "GoFish was a tiara in the toilet." he says, noting that the sites Beta-wave represents share a valuable audience: kids aged 6 to 17 and their morns. The 25 million people who stop by Beta-wave sites each month spend an average of 15 minutes per visit vs. nine at Facebook, according to industry tracker Comscore. That "stickiness" has prompted Dellogg, Hasbro, Nintendo, and others to buy ads. Still, Freeman knows companies want more evidence to prove that their ads are working. "Advertisers always say, 'why am I paying for reach when what I want is people's attention?'" That's why he aims to charge not only for clicks on ads but also for how long people spend on a page and for how much they interact with the brand on a deeper level. To make that happen, Freeman is borrowing from television, which has been shoring up its prospects with "band integrations"—advertisers can weave their products and messages into the shows themselves. In mid-February, Freeman launched something called Beta-wave TV. Essentially an online video player, the links of which can be found on many sites, it provides a distribution platform through which clients can integrate their messages into original shows. For the first such experiment, Freeman has enlisted Raven Symone. The Disney twin star will appear in a video and provide style tips that likely will include nods to certain products. Viewers will be directed to WeeWorld, where they will be able to conduct a makeover on a Symone avatar. Freeman plans to charge sponsors a production fee to set up sites like the Symone makeover game. Advertisers also would pay based on the number of people who log in, the number of games played, or a combination of the two. Beta-wave's success depends on whether visitors are drawn into the branded games and other content or simply watch what they want and move on. But for now, at least, Freeman has the advertising world's attention.
