2018年成人高考专升本英语考试终极提分试题及答案六

　　Banksare not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户)not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors shouldcome to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all itsdepositors,then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day.If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not allappear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wantedtheir money when they wanted it. Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifyingbank run that she experienced. One day in Decemer of 1925 several banks failedto open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the nextday,and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller hadenough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told thetellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and onthe sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bankcould not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight forplaces near the tellers′ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was suchthat two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and couldpay all depositors, drew their own money from

　　the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she haddifficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
