                                Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
    Before 1993, and particularly during the period 1929-33, bank failures were not uncommon. (19)______ a bank overextended itself in creating credit or if several of its important loans could not be repaid, depositors in the bank would frequently become panicky (惊慌的) and (20)______ to make large withdrawals. (21)______ the bank had only a small number of its deposits backed by currency, the bank would soon be unable to meet withdrawals, and most depositors (22)______ their money. Most frequently a bank merely needed time to improve its cash position by calling in some of its loans and not making additional ones. In 1933, the number of bank failures (23)______ a peak, forcing the federal government to intervene and (24)______ the banks temporarily (暂时地). To help restore the public’s confidence in banks and strengthen the banking community, Congress passed legislation setting (25)______ the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (26)______ corporation, an agency of the federal government, now insures over 90 percent of all mutual (互相的) savings and commercial bank deposits for (27)______ $100,000 per deposit. The FDIC has (28)______ its insurance fund by charging member institutions one-twelfth of 1 percent of their total deposits.
    As a result of the protection (29)______ by the FDIC and through other kinds of supervision (监管), bank failures have been reduced to a few isolated instances. When deposits are federally insured, people (30)______ rush to withdraw their money if they (31)______ the financial condition of their bank. The delay gives the banks the necessary time to adjust their cash credit balance, and this action helps to reduce the (32)______ of bankruptcy (破产). For an example of the value of the FDIC, note that the failure in 1974 of the huge Franklin National Bank did not (33)______ a panic, and that depositors lost no money as Franklin was taken over by another bank.
