NASDAQ, standing for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks(股票). The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchanges in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related business. Trading on NASDAQ was started by stock brokers acting on behalf of their customers. The brokers talk with market makers who devote themselves to trading specific stocks to reach a price for the stock.
Unlike other stock exchanges, NASDAQ has no central place where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called over-the-counter market.

查看习题详情和答案>>The whole world is helping tsunami (海啸) victims. Students in the U.S. are also taking part. A friend of mine suggested that we organize a relief effort for the victims. We are officers of the American Red Cross at Yale (I’m the chairperson). After sending a letter to the other members of the Red Cross, I received a large number of responses from students interested in helping.
We decided to organize a charity concert to raise money for tsunami-ravaged areas. All ticket earnings will go directly to our parent organization, the American Red Cross. Currently, we’re in the process of inviting Yale’s numerous song, dance, and chamber music groups to perform at the concert.
So far, we’ve had a great response from these groups and volunteers have continued to pour in with their ideas and feedback. When I checked my inbox this morning, I had 56 tsunami fundraiser-related emails waiting for me. Although, everyone is still on winter vacation and away from school, we have the Internet to link up Yalies from around the globe. We share ideas not on the latest video games, but on how best to provide help.
The Red Cross at Yale is not alone in its aid effort. Student organizations across campus are working hard to raise funds and provide help to those who need it.
Yale’s South Asian Society (SAS) and the Asian American Students Alliance (AASA), which is an umbrella organization for many other groups including the Sri Lankan Students Association, are organizing charity dinners.
The food will be donated(捐赠)by restaurants from around campus. Every last penny of the earnings will be donated to a non-profit organization providing aid to South Asia.
After some discussion with the SAS and AASA, our groups have decided to plan our two events together. Students can attend the benefit dinner then go to the charity concert. There is no doubt in my mind that both events will have a fantastic turnout.
What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A. A charity concert to help tsunami victims.
B. The efforts of the American Red Cross at Yale to help tsunami victims.
C. The worldwide efforts to help tsunami victims.
D. What the Americans do to help tsunami victims.
The author keeps in touch with Yalies to ______.
A. ask them to offer help B. inform them the latest news
C. ask them to join in the concert D. ask them to work for the Red Cross
What does “both events” refer to in the last paragraph?
A. SAS and AASA.
B. The Red Cross at Yale and the American Red Cross.
C. The benefit dinner and the charity concert.
D. Raising funds and providing help.
Which of the following is NOT right?
A. Students were taking an active part in the activity
