Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago. Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University. They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars. 　　“This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions.” All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets. They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets. Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing. His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient, which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time. This also means that over short periods of time, it is not possible to predict prices. 　　Robert Shiller found, however, that over long periods, the opposite is true. It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior. 　　The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index. That index follows home prices across the United States. Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information. His method supports Mr Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry. 　　The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel, but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in electronics to three Americans on Oct. 14, 2013. 2. Eugene Fama, Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller won the prize for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets. 3. Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s resulted in some change in how market watchers look at investing. 4. The findings of both economists have led to the growth of price prediction, investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk. 5. The Nobel Prize in economics was established in memory of Alfred Nobel by Sweden's central bank in 1968.

12. 阅读理解：根据文章内容，判断正误（每题10分）。 Traveller’s Check 　　Many of the banks and travel services in western provide a convenience for travellers by issuing traveller's checks. Travellers, when buying the checks, have to sign the checks in the presence of the bank or service clerks. During the trip, travellers can cash the checks from the agencies of the bank or the travel service whenever they need after their counter-signatures are recognized. A lot of travellers like to buy these checks as they don't have to take along much cash and worry about counterfeit signatures. The agencies will get back the money they have paid by sending the checks to the issuing offices.　 　 　　Traveller's checks are generally of small face value, such as ten or twenty dollars, or five or ten pounds, for miscellaneous payments. There is no time limit for their circulation period. It is very profitable for the issuing offices to finance the funds they collect by issuing traveller's checks because they not only receive a service charge from the check buyers, but they also don't need to pay any interest no matter how long the checks remain in circulation before clearing. This is why banks and travel services are willing to provide this convenience.　 It is convenient for the travellers to travel around the world as many banks and travel services issue travellers' checks. 2. There are no signatures of travellers who have bought the checks. 3. Quite a few travellers like to buy the checks. 4. Travellers do not worry about the circulation period of the checks as there is no time limit for it. 5. Banks and travel services are reluctant to provide travellers'checks.

On the stage of decision-making, the bottom line is: Don't rule out a business without learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like. For instance, think about a mom returning to the work force who knows she wants to interact with children on a daily basis. Among the hundreds of options there, she needs to decide if she would like to be hands on as a teacher or if she would rather manage a facility that tutors children in math. Deciding between the two is easy if she considers which day-to-day position she would prefer and how that will impact her other goals. 　　Be proactive with your research. After you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it's important to start researching different options. Physically visit many different franchise locations and browse the web and then determine what will be a fit in your community. Make sure the franchisor has experience. Before signing on to a franchise, it is essential to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience. Find out if the company leaders have had significant experience at another franchise and are now applying that knowledge successfully. 　　Read the franchise disclosure document carefully. The first thing to look at is how much a franchise would cost to purchase. Make sure you have a financial advisor who can look at that item with you and see the type of profit a franchisee can make on average. It's also important to take a look at the post-termination clause in the agreement to make sure that when you want to leave the business, you know the terms well and your interests are properly protected. Decide on a business with learning or seeing what the day-to-day will look like. 2. Before you've determined what role you want in a franchise, it's time to start the business. 3. Before signing on to a franchise, the essential job is to ask the franchisor about the executive team and its past industry experience. 4. The first thing to look at is how long a franchise would take to purchase. 5. To make sure that when you want to leave the business, you have made enough money and you are satisfied with that.
