The opening of two new rural financial institutions yesterday gives hope to the large number of low – income Chinese farmers and small rural business that they will enjoy wider entrance to bank loans.

China has long been struggling to channel lending to its vast rural areas, still not adequately served by the existing financial system. Villages are home to less than one – sixth of all bank branches, accounting for 15 percent of the country’s deposit (存款) and loans in 2006. Cities get 10 times more loans person than the countryside, where over 60 percent of the 1.3 billion population live. And, only 60 percent of the 120 million rural households that need bank loans are able to access them.

The new policy that came out in December, which introduced new types of rural financial institutions like the village bank and the lending company opened yesterday in Sichuan and three others to be opened soon, is expected to breathe life into the rural financial sector. The pilot (试点的) scheme planned in six provinces and autonomous regions – Hubei, Jilin, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Inner Mongolia – encourages individuals, private companies and all financial institutions to get involved in rural financing.

New rural financial institutions are supposed to bring competition to the market, supporting the building of “a new socialist countryside” along with other financial institutions serving villages.

But to really arouse the interest of commercial financial institutions and private investors, the government need to offer more preferential policies instead of just easing the market entry restrictions. It is profits that will drive businesses to rural areas, and it is generally held that these won’t come easy in rural area, with high operation costs and bigger management risks.

       C．to get the government to invest more money.

"Hey, little boy, will you support me when I'm getting old?" Wang Wenshan, 35, asked his newborn baby as he picked him up at home．

The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the rapidly growing economy and improving standard of living．As is the case with more and more developed countries, China faces an aging society．People are living longer and having fewer children．Therefore, many Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four elderly parents．But few realize that a problem is likely to happen ahead．

The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries．Not long ago, the Information Office of the State Council, China's cabinet, issued a white paper on measures China is taking to help its elderly population．The paper said China s population entered the aging period at the end of the 20th century as the proportion rote） of people aged 60 and above accounted for over 10 percent of the entire population, By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper．

An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem concerns every aspect of society．It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic consequences and serious social problems．It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension system．

"I used to think that it's not an issue for me to provide, for the aged," said Wang, whose parents and parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance．But last year Wang s father suffered a serious illness and afterward Wang began to feel the pressure on his shoulders．

After his father recovered, Wang opened bank accounts for each parent and deposited some money into the account every month to prepare for future uncertainties．In addition, he has to save money every month to provide for his son s future education．"I m now breaking my back working to support my family: saving pensions for the parents, my son s education funds, and living costs．"

Wang also bought some commercial old-age insurance for himself．"We have to take precautions before it is too late, and many of my colleagues share the same view," he said．

Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?

       A．Social problem．           B．The problem of the pension system．

       C．More pressure on the family．       D．Unemployment．

From the passage, we can infer___．

       A．the aging people problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government

       B．China will encourage young couples to have more than one child

       C．many people have realized the problem of aging society

       D．children will not support their parents in an aging society

Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word inevitably?

       A．Surprisingly．        B．Certainly．
