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.
When the savers want their money back, they______

选项 A、put their shares in the company back on the market
B、transfer their money to a more successful company
C、look for other people to borrow money
D、ask another company to obtain their money for them

答案A

解析 逻辑推断题。短文第二段中提到公司通过在证券市场发行股票来融资,这让公众在其公司中占有份额,并据此份额来获得未来收益,如果投资者想收回资金,只要转让其占有的份额即可。由此可推断A正确。B、C和D三项短文中均无提及。
