FACE-OFF
KEEP IT IN THE BANK
Treasury officials want to increase the amount of capital that banks are required to hold in reserve. Sounds like a good idea, but will it squeeze lending and actually slow the economic recovery? Here follow the perspectives of two experts:
RICHARD BOVE, (a famous bank analyst at Rochdale Securities): Yes. Capital reserves are higher than they've been since 1936. That wasn't the problem last year; it was that banks had to write down assets at distressed prices. The government is sending contradictory signals here, telling banks to increase lending and increase capital at the same time. You can't do both, so of course lending is going to tighten if you mandate higher capital reserves.
DOUG ELLIOTT, (a fellow at the Brooklings Institution): No. My research shows that if the minimum equity capital requirements were raised by 4 percent, the prices of a loan might go up only 0. 2 percent. That's negligible compared with the stability benefits of better-capitalized banks. The cost of capital is usually only a fifth of the total cost of a loan, and banks have several levers to pull besides loan price to deal with the need for more capital.
OUR VERDICT: The smart way to do this is to link the amount of capital banks have to hold in reserve to the amount of risk they take. The riskier they are, the more capital they need. Changes likely won't take place until 2011, so banks will have plenty time to prepare.
What is the main problem raised by the host in the commentary?
A.Whether Mr. Bove and Mr. Elliott's views are correct
B.Whether it is good to lift up the amount of capital reserves
C.The deep reason for Mr. Bove and Mr. Eliott to hold different opinions
D.How to accelerate the economic recovery

Questionsare based on the following passage.
Workers with skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are among the mmost in demand and highest paid.They are seen as key drivers of problem-solving and economic growth, who will help shape the future.And most of them are men.Nadya Fouad, a professor of educational psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and her colleagues surveyed more than 5,000 women who had graduated from some of the top universities with engineering degrees over the past six decades.They found that 40 percent had either quit the field or never entered the profession in the first place.For more than two decades, women have accounted for about 20 percent of all engineering degrees.Yet fewer than 11 percent of all engineers are women.For the most part, Fouad found that what really pushed women out were uncivil workplace climates, the expectation to put in long hours of face time in the office, and the feeling that there was little opportunity to advance.Of the women who left the field less than five years ago, two-thirds pursued better opportunities in other fields——72 percent became either managers or executives.One-third said they stayed home with children because their companies didn"t settle work-life conflicts.
It is not about making the women more confident or anything.It"s really about the climate in the workplace, Fouad said.Even women who are staying consider leaving because they don"t have superior support.They don"t have training and development opportunities.And their colleagues are not civil to them, look down upon them, or talk behind their backs.The fmdings add weight and context to previous looks at why more women don"t go into or don"t stay in STEM fields.The previous studies tend
to explain that women aren"t "naturally" smart enough, and that these are careers for men.Furthermore, Fouad makes recommendations to create a good work environment.The problem should be recognized that women aren"t leaving just because they want to spend time with their children.They"re leaving because of the difficult workplace climate and lack of opportunity to advance.The company, starting from the managers, is supposed to invest in professional training which is beneficial to the women"s development and advance.
