Passage 1
One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be

Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer.

Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same. 6. A bank run happens when ____ B ___. A. a bank is closed for one or more days
B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time C. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time D. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 7. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to____ B ___. A. explain why they could not pay out all accounts B. pay out accounts as requested
C. make the depositors believe that the bank was stand D. pay out money as slowly as possible 8. The main cause of a bank run is ____B___. A. loss of confidence B. lack of money C. crowds of people D. inexperienced tellers
9. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say? ____ D ___ A. She know that the bank was not sound.
B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.
