In fact, 90 per cent or more of the fresh eggs consumed are brown. The major outlets for white eggs are h
11、otels, Western-style restaurants and fast food shops. Chinese consumers prefer the deeper color of brown egg yolksoften considered essential to the color of many Chinese dishes. Chinese-style restaurants also find that brown eggs are more popular with customers. Chinese eggs have a unique odor that
12、can be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on the consumer. To the Chinese consumer, the odor is indicative of a “good egg“ and is an important reason, in addition to a price advantage, for the popularity of Chinese eggs. The odor, however, is a major reason why Chinese eggs are not accepted b

14、assage 2(总题数：1，分数：9.00)What does “a bull“ mean? It is a term that is used to refer to an investor who expects stock prices to rise. “Bulls“ buy in anticipation of the market going up. Of course, the market will not always rise. Sometimes stocks drop and remain low for extended periods of time. Those
15、 investors who expect stock prices to decline are known as “bears“. During the Great Depression, the bears made a great deal of money. While the bulls were “buying long“ the bears were “selling short“. Buying long means buying stock for the purpose of reselling it at a higher price. If the market is
16、 going down the only way to recover your investment is to hang on to the stock and wait for it to come back. Selling short means selling stock that you do not own with the intention of replacing it later at a lower price. For example, if you heard that IBM was going to announce very low earnings and
17、 felt that the price would drop from $70 to $65, you could sell IBM short by telling your broker to borrow this stock from one of the brokerage“s customer accounts and replace it when it drops to $65. Keep in mind, of course, that if the stock goes up instead of down, you will have to replace the st
18、ock at a higher price and will lose the difference between the selling and replacement price. Thus, selling short can be very risky.（分数：9.00）(1).Does “a bull“ mean a male labor animal here?（分数：3.00）_(2).Who are bears?（分数：3.00）_(3).What would an investor do if he overhears that a company“s earnings w

Every shopkeeper knows this. But at the same time, producers want higher prices for their goods when they make mor
20、e goods. How can we find the best price for the goods? The Law of Supply and Demand is the economist“s answer to this question. According to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause changes in supply and demand. An increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supplythe number of go
21、ods the producers make. Producers will make more goods when they can get higher prices for the goods. The producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. At the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demandthe number of goods the consumers buy. This is because
22、 people buy less when the price is high. People buy fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. Conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand (people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply (producers make fewer shoes). Business firms lock at both supply and demand when they make
23、decisions about prices and production. They look for the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. At this point, the number of shoes produced is 3,000 and the price of the shoes is $30. $30 is the equilibrium price. At this price the consumers will buy all of the 3,000 shoes which the producers
24、 make. If the producers in-crease the price of the shoes, or if they produce more than 3,000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. The producers will have a surplusmore supply than demandso they must de-crease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. On the other hand, if they make
25、 fewer than 3,000 shoes, there will be a shoes shortagemore demand than supplyand the price will go up. According to the Law of Supply and Demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the goods. The consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps t

Zhu said the seven-chapter law
28、 is planned to trigger another round of fast growth for the nation“s SMEs. He said the country was determined to “improve the business environment for SMEs and allow their full play to contribute to the national economy and social development“. The second draft left the definition of SMEs in doubt.
29、A final decision will settle which categories of enterprise will receive the benefits of the new law. “This (how to define the SMEs) is one of the major areas where we still need to build consensus among the legislators,“ said Zhu. Up until now, there has been no universal standard differentiating S
30、MEs and larger firms. Different classifications have been used in different business sectors. China currently has at least 9 million SMEs, accounting for over 90 per cent of the country“s overall enterprises. These SMEs provide employment to 80 per cent of the nation“s labor force. SMEs are seen as
31、crucial to provide social stability at a time of economic reform which is resulting in large numbers of laid-off workers. SMEs account for over 40 per cent of China“s total revenues and over 60 per cent of daily consumer commodities. Zhu unveiled that the third version of the law is ready after rece
32、iving input from government bodies, academic departments and other related institutions. “If successful, the law could be given a final nod as early as next April,“ said Zhu. “We are encouraged by the news, and we are anticipating that we could be in a better position to compete with other enterpris
33、es thanks to the launch of the law,“ said Liu Shenli, a local entrepreneur who employs a staff of 70 at his food factory in North China“s Hebei Province. “The former system laid too much emphasis on the growth of large state-owned enterprises, but the situation needs to be improved,“ Zhu said. “Chin
