Question

閱讀理解 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。 　　I'm Rich Kleinfeldt with some financial expressions used in business and the stock market． 　　Our first expression is "in the red．"　It is another way of saying that a business is losing money．In the past, numbers in the financial records of a company were written in red ink to show a loss． 　　A business magazine recently published a report about a television company．The report said the company was still in the red, but was able to cut its loss from the year before． 　　A profit by a business is written in black numbers．So a company that is "in the black" is making money． 　　Another financial expression is "run on the bank．" That is what happens when many people try to withdraw all their money from a bank．A "run on the bank" usually happens when people believe there is danger a bank may fail or close． 　　Newspaper reports about a banking crisis in Russia used that expression．They said the government acted because of fears that the crisis would cause a run on the banks． 　　"Day trading" is a system that lets investors trade directly on an electronic market system．It was the first completely computerized stock market．It sells stocks of companies not listed on any stock exchange．Many high technology companies are listed on it． 　　Day trading companies provide a desk and a computer system to an investor who wants to trade．Individuals must provide fifty thousand dollars or more to the trading company to pay for the stocks they buy．Thousands of other investors do day trading from computers in their homes． 　　A day trader watches stock prices carefully．When he sees a stock rise in price, he uses the computer to buy shares of the stock．If the stock continues to rise in price in the next few minutes, the day trader sells the shares quickly to make a small profit．Then he looks for another stock to buy．If a stock goes down instead of up, he sells it and accepts the loss． 　　The idea is to make a small profit many times during the day．Day traders may buy and sell stocks hundreds of times each day． (1) Which of the following statements is TRUE?
