Passage 3 Plain and simple, stock is a share in the ownership of a company. Stock represents a claim on the company’s assets and earnings. As you acquire more stock, your ownership stake in the company becomes greater. Whether you say shares, equity, or stock, it all means the same thing. Holding a company’s stock means that you are one of the many owners (shareholders) of a company, and, as such, you have a claim (albeit usually very small) to everything the company owns. Yes, this means that technically you own a tiny sliver of every piece of furniture, every trademark, and every contract of the company. As an owner, you are entitled to your share of the company’s earnings as well as any voting rights attached to the stock. A stock is represented by a stock certificate. This is a fancy piece of paper that is proof of your ownership. In today’s computer age, you won’t actually get to see this document because your brokerage keeps these records electronically, which is also known as holding shares "in street name". This is done to make the shares easier to trade. In the past when a person wanted to sell his or her shares, that person physically took the certificates down to the brokerage. Now, trading with a click of the mouse or a phone call makes life easier for everybody. Being a shareholder of a public company does not mean you have a say in the day-to-day running of the business. Instead, one vote per share to elect the board of directors at annual meetings is the extent to which you have a say in the company. For instance, being a Microsoft shareholder doesn’t mean you can call up Bill Gates and tell him how you think the company should be run. The management of the company is supposed to increase the value of the firm for shareholders. If this doesn’t happen, the shareholders can vote to have the management removed well, this is the theory anyway. In reality, individual investors like you and I don’t own enough shares to have a material influence on the company. It’s really the big boys like large institutional investors and billionaire entrepreneurs who make the decisions. The management of the company is to raise ______.

A. the value of the firm for the shareholders
B. the asset of the firm for the debtors
C. the liquidity assets for the debtors
D. the stockholding plans for the employees

结合教学实际,阐述如何培养学生的创造思维。

Directions: Read the following passages and determine whether the sentences are " Right" or "Wrong". If there is not enough information to answer "Right" or "Wrong", choose "Doesn’t say". Then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a single line through the center.Passage One The market for large business certificates of deposit or negotiable certificates of deposit (CDs) in denominations of $100,000 or more has been active since 1961. It is a money market specializing in the sale of Marketable, interest-yielding deposit certificates with specified maturity dates, issued by four types of financial intermediaries. Domestic CDs are issued by US banks. Dollar-de- nominated CDs issued by banks outside the United States are called Euro CDs. The CDs issued by US branches of foreign banks are called Yankee CDs. Thrift CDs are the name used to designates CDs issued by domestic thrifts. The holder of a CD who wishes to exchange it for money before its maturity date will ask a money market participant (often a commercial bank) to arrange a sale through a specialized dealer. There is an active secondary market in CDs centered in New York. There are approximately 25 dealers in CDs. The CD is an instrument that allows the depository intermediaries to raise funds at competitive market rates. It is called one of their managed liabilities. Since they loan out funds at their lending rates, they would normally keep their advertised prime rate above the CD rate. As noted previously, the prime rate formula that had been used by Citibank set the prime one-and-a-half percentage points above the previous three-week average of 90-day (3-month) CDs sold in the secondary market. The yield on 3-month CDs is usually higher than 3-month Treasury bills. Treasury bills have a lower default risk and exempt from state and local tax. This may explain the extent of the spread. Euro CDs are the negotiable certificates of deposit denominated in European currencies issued by American hanks outside the United States.

A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Doesn’t say
