A massive banking crisis occurred in the United States in 1933 In the two preceding years, a large number of banks had failed, and fear of lost savings had prompted many depositors to remove their funds from banks Problems
became so serious in the state of Michigan that Governor William A Comstock was forced to declare a moratorium on all
banking activities in the state on February 14, 1933 The panic in Michigan quickly spread to other states, and on March 6, President Franklin D Roosevelt declared a banking moratorium throughout the United States that left the entire country without banking services
Congress immediately met in a special session to solve the banking crisis and on March 9 passed the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 to assist financially healthy banks to reopen By March 15, banks controlling 90 percent of the country’s financial reserves were again open for business

It is the role of the Federal Reserve, known simply as the Fed, to control the supply of money in the U.S through its system of twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, each with its own Federal Reserve District Bank Many commercial banks belong to the Federal Reserve System and as members must follow the Fed’s reserve requirements, a ruling by the Fed on the percentage of deposits that a member bank must keep either in its own vaults or on deposit at the Fed If the Fed wants to change the money supply, it can change reserve requirements to member banks; for example, an increase in the percentage of deposits required to be kept on hand would reduce the available money supply Member banks can also borrow money from the Fed, and an additional way that the Fed can control the money supply is to raise or lower the discount rate, the interest rate at which commercial banks borrow from the Fed An increase in the discount rate would
reduce the funds available to commercial banks and thus shrink the money supply In addition to using reserve
requirements and the discount rate to control the money supply, the Fed has another powerful tool: open-market operations
56 This passage is mainly about
A the functions of the Federal Reserve B the organization of the Federal Reserve
C reserve requirements D the effect of lowering the discount rate
57 According to the passage, the main purpose of the Federal Reserve System is to
A increase reserve requirements
B increase or decrease the amount of money available
C increase the number of Federal Reserve Banks
D increase the money kept on deposit by member banks
58 When the Fed controls the percentage of deposits kept on hand by member banks, it controls
C the reserve requirement D borrowing by commercial banks
59 The passage implies that a lowering of the discount rate would lead to
A an increase in the money supply
B a decrease in borrowing from the Fed by commercial banks
Trang 4C a decrease in the money available
D an increase in the reserve requirement
60 The word “shrink” in the passage could best be replaced by
