The central problem of economics is to satisfy the people's and nation's wants.
The problem we are faced with is that our resources, here identified as money, are __1__. The only way we can resolve our problem is to make choices. After looking at our resources, we must examine our list of __2__ and identify the things we need immediately, those we can postpone, and __3__ we cannot afford. As individuals, we face the central problem involved in economics-deciding just how to allocate our limited our limited resources to provide __4__ with the greatest satisfaction of our wants.
Nations face the same problem. As a country's population ___5__, the need for more goods and services grows correspondingly. Resources necessary to production may increase, but there __6__ are enough resources to satisfy the total desires of a nation. Whether the budget meeting is taking place in the family living room, in the conference room of the corporation __7__ of directors, or in the chamber of the House of Representatives in Washington, the basic problem still exists. We need to find __8__ of allocating limited resources in order to satisfy unlimited wants. ynexam.cn[云南考试网]
A short time ago economists divided goods into two categories, free and economic. The former, like air and water, were in __9__ abundance that economists had no concern for them. After all, economics is the __10__ of scarcity and what to do about it. Today many of these "free goods" are __11__ very expensive to use. Pollution has made clean air and water expensive for producers' extra costs, and __12__ taxpayers who pay for the government's involvement in cleaning the environment.
In the 1990s, almost all goods are __13__. Only by effort and money __14__ obtained in the form people wish.
Meeting needs of people and the demands from resource available __15__ the basic activity of production. In trying to meet unlimited wants from limited economic goods, production leads to new problems in economics.

In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has been taken for granted as a means of solving differences; and this is not even questioned. There are countries ___1___ the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by __2__ fire to cities and by looting and pillaging.

The Development of Rubber
Here is the story of rubber. From the earliest time it was __1__ common knowledge to the Peruvians that when a cut
was made in the outside skin of a rubber tree, a white liquid __2__ milk came out, and that __3__ this a sticky mass of
rubber might be made. This rubber is soft when warm, so that it is possible to give it any __4__. The Peruvians made

the first time. First they made overshoes __6__ their feet dry. Then came a certain Mr. Mackintosh, who made coats of [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn
cloth covered with natural rubber. From that day to this we have been coating cloth with rubber as Mr. Mackintosh
__7__, and our raincoats are still named after him.
But these first rubber overshoes and raincoats were all soft and sticky in summer, and __8__ and inelastic in the winter
when it was cold. But the rubber we have today is soft and elastic, though very strong--- ven in the __9__ summer and the coldest winter. This was made __10__ by a man called Goodyear. __11__
experiments, he found that nitric acid (HNO3) made the rubber much better, but it is not hard and strong enough. www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]
Then strange thing took place. A friend of __12__, Nicholas Hayward, had the idea in his sleep that rubber might be
made hard and strong if mixed with sulphur and put in the sun. Goodyear put this idea __13__ the test, and saw that
it did have more or less the desired effect---
though somewhat less than more. The only effect it had was on the outside of the rubber. It is common knowledge
now that the way to make rubber hard and strong is __14__ sulphur. It took Goodyear four more years to find this
method. When at last he did it, he had nothing at all. Everything of the smallest value __15__ to get money, even his [云南考试网]ｗｗｗ＿ｙｎｅｘａｍ＿ｃｎ

Before 1933, and particularly during the period 1929-33, bank failures were not uncommon. _1_ a bank overextended itself in creating credit or if several of its important loans could not be _2_, depositors in the bank would frequently become panicky and begin to make large withdrawals. __3__ the bank had only a small number of its deposits backed by currency, the band would soon be unable to meet withdrawals, and most depositors __4__ their money. Most frequently a bank merely needed time to improve its cash position by __5__ some of its loans and not making additional ones. In 1933, the number of bank failures __6__ a peak, forcing the federal government to intervene and __7__ the banks temporarily. To help restore the public's confidence __8__ banks and strengthen the banking community, Congress passed legislation setting up the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. __9__ corporation, an agency of the federal government, now insures over 90 percent of all mutual savings and commercial bank deposits for __10__ $100,000 per deposit. The FDIC has __11__ its insurance fund by charging member institutions one-twelfth of 1 percent of their total deposits. www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

The delay gives the banks the necessary time to adjust their cash credit balance, and this action helps to reduce the __15__ of bankruptcy. For an example of the value of the FDIC, note that the failure in 1974 of the huge Franklin National Bank did not touch off a panic, and that depositors lost no money as Franklin was taken over by another bank.
