第1题

The idea of public works projects as a device to prevent or control depression was des

igned as a means of creating job opportunities for unemployed workers and as a "pump priming" device to aid business to revive. It was conceived during the early years the New Deal Era (1933 - 1937. By 1933, the number of unemployed workers had reached about 13 million. This meant that about 50 million people - about one-third of the nation - were without means of support. At first, direct relief in the form. of cash or food was provided these people. This made them recipients of government charity. In order to remove, this stigma and restore to the unemployed some measure of respectability and human dignity, a plan was devised to create governmentally sponsored work projects that private industry would not or could not provide. This would also stimulate production and revive business activity.The best way to explain how this procedure is expected to work is to explain how it actually worked when it was first tried. The first experiment with it was the creation of the Works Project Administration (WPA. This agency set up work projects in various fields in which there were many unemployed. For example, unemployed actors were organized into theater projects, orchestras were organized for unemployed musicians, teaching projects for unemployed teachers, and even writers' projects for unemployed writers. Unemployed laborers were put to work building or maintaining roads, parks, playgrounds, or public buildings. These were all temporary "work relief" projects rather than permanent work opportunities.More substantial work projects of a permanent nature were organized by another agency, the Public Works Administration (PWA. This agency undertook the planning of construction of schools, houses, post offices, dams, and other public structures. It entered into contracts with private construction firms to erect them, or it loaned money to local or state governments which undertook their constructions. This created many jobs in the factories producing the material as well as in the projects themselves, and greatly reduced the number of unemployed.Still another agency which provided work projects for the unemployed was the Civilian Conservation Corps. This agency provided job opportunities for youths aged 16 to 20 to work in national parks or forests clearing land, guarding against fires, building roads, or doing other conservation work. In the event of a future depression, the federate government might revive any or all of the above methods to relieve unemployment and stimulate business.

1.The PWA differed from the WPS in that ____.

A、the work projects of the former were carried out by the Federal Government

B、the government subsidized private industry

C、the number of unemployed was reduced

D、the former was government's first attempt to end hardship due to unemployment

2.One method of preventing or alleviating depression Not mentioned by the author is the use of ____.

A、the dole

B、the WPA

C、the CCC

D、job sharing

3.The author implies that ____.

A、individuals on relief do not receive enough money to meet basic needs

B、those who get direct financial aid from the government suffer a loss of human dignity

C、aid should be given in the form. of food subsidies

D、a program of "pump priming" is vital at all times

4.By using the expression "pump priming" as a description of public works projects, the author implies that it ____.

A、was pouring money down the drain

B、lowered human dignity

C、avoided direct charity

D、provided business with initial impetus which would make it self-sufficient

5.The passage mainly talks about ____.

A、the New Deal Era (1933 - 1937)

B、the WPA and the PWA

C、a pattern for the future

What worries me about the stench coming from Corporate America is not its impact on the ec

onomy, because America's resiliency is awesome. It isn't that scandals may be causing the dollar to sink, because the greenback was overvalued anyway. Nor am I concerned that errant CEOs will escape punishment, since the feds are finally on the case.

No, what bothers me most is something not so easily fixed—the erosion of the equality-based culture that emerged in recent years.

Given the extent of corporate malfeasance, the only way to restore investors' confidence is for both CEOs and Washington to push sweeping reforms. Most of the necessary elements are contained in the proposals coming from the New York Stock Exchange, the Securities & Exchange Commission, Congress, and various business groups. Here are some key imperatives:

Regulate auditors. A new oversight body must be established, reporting to the SEC. It should set auditing standards, license auditor, and have power to punish transgressors. To guarantee its independence and resources, it should be funded by every publicly listed company.

Revamp CEO compensation. The magnitude of stock options—and the fact that they were not treated as a company expense—gave excess too much incentive to cut comers to pump up stock prices in the short term. In the future, options should not be exercisable for five years, and not unless company performance exceeds the S&P500. They should also be charged against corporate income when they are cashed in. Better yet, executives should be rewarded in stock that must be held for a number of years so CEOs can win and lose with the rest of long-term shareholders.

Make CEOs and boards accountable. The SEC should endorse national guidelines for all publicly listed companies doing business in the U.S.. Among the provisions: CEOs and CFOs must personally warrant that financial statements paint a full and accurate picture of their companies' positions, including critical underlying trends. Not only must boards be more independent but also audit, compensation, and governance committees ought to be held more clearly accountable for the basic policies of the companies they represent.

Keep up pressure on Wall Street. Among the most egregious conflicts of interest, analysts have been pressured and paid to recommend stocks simply to curry favor with the issuing companies. Until it's clearer how effectively Wall Street will police itself, the SEC should issue public progress reports on investment banks' moves to eliminate conflicts.

Modernize accounting. Accounting needs to deal with a global, financially complex, knowledge-based economy, including derivatives, off-balance-sheet assets, and intangible assets such as research-and-development capabilities. The best ideas from around the world must be combined into one high-grade set of international standards.

According to the author, the stench coming from Corporate America impact______.

A．the American economy

B．the dollar value

C．the American legal system

D．investor confidence
