问题      Large companies need a way to reach the savings 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. They 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 permanent basis for long-term project. So companies mm to the public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business through the Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into circulation the saving of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.
     When the saver needs his money back, he dose not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.
     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 dose not depend on the ability of his or her employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another 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.  
Almost ail companies involved in new production and development must ______.
选项 A、rely on their own financial resources
B、persuade the banks to provide long-term fin0ance
C、borrow large sums of money from friends and people they know
D、depend on the population as a whole for finance
答案D
解析 推论题，本文第一段中提到许多公司通过发行股票和让人入股和积钱，买股票的人越多，其利越大。故D为正确答案。ABC三项在本段十也提到了，但给予否定。
