In the town of Peppard, a computer helps firemen. The computer contains information about
every one of the 15 000 street addresses in the town. When firemen answer a call, the computer
files them important information about the burning building. The computer can give the
location of the building and its size, type, and contents. In fact, the compute system has
many different ways of helping fire fighters with their problems. For example, it can give
medical information about sick people living in a burning building. With this information, the
firemen can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely

Large companies need way to reach the savings of the public. 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 money needed from friends and people we know, and
while banks may agree to provide short-term loans, they are generally unwilling to provide
money on a permanent basis for 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 through the stock exchange. By doing so
they can put into use the savings of individuals and institutions.
When the savers wants to have his money back, he does not have to got to the company which has
borrowed his money. 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. Without hospital, roads, electricity, telephone, railways ,etc., the country could
not function. All these require continuous spending on new equipment if they are to server us
properly, requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone. the Government and
industries there for frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital spending, and
they, too, go to the stock exchange.
There is hardly a man or woman in the country whose job or whose standard of living dos not
depend on the ability of his or her employer 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 money.

TEXT C
It is generally agreed that the first true cities appeared about 5 000 years ago in the
food-producing communities of the Middle East. The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus
Valley possessed a number of characteristics which distinguished them a truly urban. The
cities were very much larger and more densely populated than any previous settlement, and
their function was clearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages. In the cities
the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes
based on the specialization of labor. Moreover, the need to keep records led to the
development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave
a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind.
