  Passage 1
  One phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase
  is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery
  period there is ever - growing expansion of existing facilities and new
  facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older
  ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever
  increasing optimism (乐观主义) about the future of economic growth. Much
  capital is invested in machinery or "heavy" industry. More labor is employed.
  More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other
  parts are affected. For example, a great expansion in automobiles results in an
  expansion of the steel, glass, and industries. Roads are required. Thus the
  cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials
  results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers (供应商) of raw
  materials, including farmers. This increases purchasing power and the volume of
  goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused (扩散) among the various
  portions of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise and
  rise without an apparent end. However a time comes when this phase reaches a
  peak and stop spiraling (盘旋地移动) upwards. This is the end of the expansion
  phase.
