参考答案：More and more people are considering the social and environmental results of their investments. Socially responsible investing has become a fast-growing part of the investment industry. Over 2 trillion dollars are invested using socially responsible methods. This is about nine percent of all money invested under professional management.

One way to invest is through mutual funds. A mutual fund gathers money from many investors to buy different securities. Mutual fund supervisors can use socially responsible methods to choose which investments they will buy. The funds' supervisors may buy only stocks of companies that meet the requirements set out by the fund. This process is called screening.

For example, a fund could invest only in companies that take measures to protect the environment. The most commonly screened stocks are related to companies that make cigarettes.

The Social Investment Forum in its 2005 report said separate accounts use socially responsible screening the most. These are accounts that are privately managed for individuals or organizations.

越来越多的人考虑他们的投资对于社会和环境的影响。对于社会负责任的投资变成投资产业中迅速发展的一部分。在所有的投资的金钱中，有9%的资金是在职业的管理中的。

一种投资是通过共有基金。共有基金通过不同的有价证券收集资金。共有基金的管理者可以凭借对社会负责任这一方法选择他们所购买的投资。基金的管理者只会买那些满足他们所宣布的要求的公司的股份。这个过程叫做塞选。

举个例子，基金可能只投资那些对保护环境采取措施的公司。通常最先被删掉的公司是那些烟草公司。

这个社会投资的论坛在它的2005年报考中说，那些独立的账目用对社会负责任来塞选是最多的。这些数据为了个人和组织，而私下被管理。
