Ⅳ.Reading Comprehension (20%)

A.Read the passage and answer the questions.

Where you keep your savings is important both to you and to our economic system. Savings kept in a jar at home or in a safe-deposit box are idle. They are not circulating and doing the work that money is supposed to do. If all savings were just stored away, production should slow down. There would be fewer jobs and less income. Savings deposited in a bank, however, are put to work by the bank. They are loaned to people who use them to buy cars, refrigerators, or other durable goods. They are also loaned to business firms who use them to buy factories, stores, machines, office equipment, and other capital goods. Someone else spends the money you don’t spend. The wheels of our economic system keep turning.

Putting savings to work is called investing. Savings can be invested in several ways. Depositing them in a bank is only one way. Savings also can be used to buy bonds or life insurance. They can be invested in a business of your own or used to buy shares of stock in a corporation. They can be used to buy land, a home to live in, or property to rent to others. Each of these different ways of putting money to work is an investment.

When you put your savings in a bank, the bank invests them along with the savings of other depositors. You invest your money indirectly. When you buy bonds or stock or property, you invest your money directly.

B.Read the passage and decide whether these statements are true (T) or false (F).

A tariff may be one of the four kinds: ad valorem, specific, alternative or compound. An ad valorem, the kind most commonly used, is one that is calculated as a percentage of the value of the imported good—for example, 10, 25 or 35 percent. They may be based, depending on the country, either on the value of the goods landed at the port of destination, or on the value of the goods at the port in the country of origin. A specific duty is a tax of so much local currency per unit of the good imported based on weight, number, length, volume, or other unit of measurement—for example $10 per kilo or per gallon. An alternative duty is where both an ad valorem duty and a specific one are prescribed for a product, with the requirement that the more onerous one shall apply. A compound duty is a combination of an ad valorem duty and specific duty—for example, 15 percent of value plus 5 pence per pound. Some goods are free from import duty.

31. A tariff may be excluded from one of the four kinds mentioned in the passage. ( )

32. The calculation of an ad valorem takes the priority of the value of the goods landed at the port of destination rather than that of the country of origin. ( )

33. Specific duties are assumed to be levied on foodstuffs and raw materials. ( )
