American students learn business skills in school. Here is a story about some American students who learnt business skills by operating their own banks.

It is a real bank that accepts money for savings and makes loans, and it is operated by students between 10 and 12 years old.The bank is open for one hour two days a week. Students can put their money into the bank and withdraw it as they wish. Officials from a local bank helped the students start the bank. They trained twenty-three of them to do all the different kinds of bank jobs, from counting money to guarding the bank. The students needed money to start the bank.

听力原文: When a savings account is opened in a bank, the depositor must sign a deposit agreement. By signing agreement, the depositor agrees to abide by the rules and regulations of the bank. At this time, a passbook may be given to the depositor. This is a small book in which the bank teller enters the date and amount of each deposit or withdrawal and initials the entry. The passbook is to be presented at the bank or mailed to the bank along with a deposit or withdrawal slip each time money is deposited or withdrawn from the account. An alternative practice for depositing or withdrawing money from a savings account is to give the depositor a small register for recording deposits and withdrawals and a pad of deposit withdrawal rotors. This procedure eliminates the use of the passbook.
