Twenty-six years ago, Muhammad Yunus, a Bangladeshi economics teacher, was visiting a village when he met a woman who made bamboo baskets. She couldn’t afford to buy the bamboo to make the baskets, so she had to borrow the money from the bamboo sellers and then pay them a large part of the profit from each one she sold. There was so little money left for her to keep that she couldn’t afford to buy more bamboo, so she had to borrow more money. And so the cycle continued with no way out for her.
She couldn’t borrow money from friends or family because they were as poor as she was. She couldn’t borrow from the bank because she had no land to guarantee that she would pay back the loan. Yunus went around the village and found 41 people who were in the same position—trapped in a cycle of poverty with no escape. When he added up the amount of money that they needed to break free from the cycle, it came out to just twenty seven dollars. As Yunus says, — I felt ashamed of myself for being part of a society which could not provide even 27 dollars for 41 hard-working, skilled human beings.
He lent them the money and told them to pay it back whenever they could. He got all of it back, so he went to other villages and did the same thing. He always got his money back. The official banks didn’t want to get involved in what he was doing, so Yunus started his own bank. The Grameen bank was born, and with it there is a new approach to lending money-micro-credit.
The bank now lends over a billion dollars to more than two million borrowers, 96% of them women, and involving more than half of the villages in Bangladesh. The repayment is 99%. The rural economy of the country has improved gready since the bank started. And the success has spread. This year it was estimated that there are now over 7 ,000 micro-credit organizations in the world, lending to over 16 million of the poorest people. [br] The women couldn’t find a way out of the cycle of poverty because______.
选项
A、she was not hardworking enough
B、she couldn’t borrow enough money
C、she was exploited by the bamboo seller too much
D、the profit of selling the baskets was little
答案
C
解析
(为什么这位妇女总是不能摆脱贫困?)第一段描述到这位妇女自己没钱买材料做竹篮,只好向卖竹子的人借钱,但“…then pay them a large part of the profit from each one she sold.There was so little money left for her…”,即她的劳动成果大多被卖竹子的人所占有,所以她还是很贫穷,这样选项C(由于她被卖竹子的商人剥削得太多)是正确答案。选项A(她不太勤劳)、B(她不能借到足够多的钱)、D(竹篮的利润太低)都不符合原文意思。
