问题     Large companies need a way to reach the saving 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 sums 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 a long-term projects. So companies turn to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits.
    They do this by issuing stocks and shares in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so, they can put into circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.
    Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities. Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.
    There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development.
    This new money must come from the savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel through which these savings can reach those who need finance.
All the essential services on which we depend are______.
选项 A、unable to provide for the needs of the population
B、financed wholly by rates and taxes
C、in constant need of financial support
D、run by the government or our local authorities
答案C
解析 事实细节题。从第3段中我们可知道：医院、道路等基本服务设施长期地需要资金来购买新设备和开发建设。A并未在短文提及。B与作者意思相反。D虽有提及，但是不够完整和准确。相比之下C最正确。
