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] Bangldesh.
选项
A、Government
B、Basket makers
C、Villagers
D、Bamboo sellers
答案
C
解析
(谁是Grameen银行的最大受益者?)根据最后段“involving more than half of the villages in Bangladesh…The rural economy of the country has improved greatly since the bank started.”可以得知:最大受益者应该是农村经济大好形势下的村民们,所以选项C(村民们)是正确答案。
