[单项选择] Passage Two
Large companies need a way to reach the savings of
the public at large. The same problem, on a smaller scale, faces practically
every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs. There can be
little prospect of raising the sort of sum needed from friends and people we
know. and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, they are
generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term

Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the savings of
individuals and institution, both at home and overseas.

A. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know

The two claws of the mature American
lobster are decidedly different from each other. The crusher claw is short and
stout; the cutter claw is long and slender. Such bilateral asymmetry, in which
the right side of the body is, in all other respects, a mirror image of the left

either the right side or left side of the body.
Bilateral
asymmetry of the claws comes about gradually. In the juvenile fourth and fifth
stages of development, the paired claws are symmetrical and cutterlike.
Asymmetry begins to appear in the juvenile sixth stage of development, and the
paired claws further diverge toward well-defined cutter and crusher claws during
succeeding stages. An intriguing aspect
A. drawing an analogy between asymmetry in lobsters and handed in humans.
B. developing a method for predicating whether crusher claws in lobster will appear on the left or right side
C. explaining differences between lobsters’ crusher claws and cutter claws
D. discussing a possible explanation for the way bilateral asymmetry is determined in lobsters
