Passage 1
W
hat is
business?
Business is the human activity related
to material things. It is necessary for
civilization
（文明）
. It
is found in all societies, even the
simplest ones. Business may include the production
of goods:
making airplanes, building
buildings, and constructing paper boxes are
examples of production. It
can also
provide the financing
（融资）
for those activities. Lending money, trading
stocks
（股票）
and
bonds
（债券）
, selling insurance
policies relate to the securing of capital for
business activities.
Other forms of
business include merchandising, which is the
selling of products, and providing
various services, such as
accounting
（会计）
,
distributing, and repair. Business, then, is the
activity
of producing and distributing
goods and services.
In
our study of business, it is necessary to
understand the four basic factors of production.
These
four factors are land, labour,
capital and entrepreneurship. What is meant by
these four terms?
In order to produce things,
it is necessary to use land. Here the term land is
used in the most general
way. It refers
not only to a piece of real estate
（不动产）
where we might build a
factory, but it also
means all the raw
materials used for production. Some of these raw
materials are found on earth
’
s
surface, such
as trees, which yield
（产出）
wood for lumber. Other raw materials
are
found under
the earth
’
s surface in mines
and oil wells, and still other raw materials
may be
extracted
（提取）
from the air. All the raw materials for production
come from the land, the air
and the
oceans.
Labour refers
to the use of mental or physical work
（脑力或体力活）
to
produce goods. Most
labour changes
raw materials into finished
.
products and
then distributes these to buyers. In
