单选题Relaxing isn"t easy. I know — I have tried it. I can see, therefore, why Japan"s government should want corporations to have full-time "leisure advisers". It seems an idea worth copying. A start should, perhaps, be made at the very top. Captains of industry often find it hardest of all to relax. Some buy a luxurious yacht, a beach house, or even an island, but seldom make use of these expensive leisure facilities. "I don"t have time for a holiday," they insist. What they usually mean is not that they couldn"t find the time, if pressed, but that they don"t want to. More often than not the plain truth is that they don"t know how to ease up. No one has ever told them how to do it. You can"t be a frantic executive one day and a leisurely beachcomber the next, the contrast is too great. But a captain of industry on a beach and he tends to get bored and restless. He misses the pace, the action. Invite him to play tennis and he will probably decline, because he fears that he will look foolish —he prefers to play games in the office, where he is a proven winner. If he has a holiday home, or stays in a plush hotel, he will be on the telephone six times a day, doing what he does best. So what can a "leisure adviser" do for him—or, increasingly, her? The basic task is to change attitudes, and gradually to introduce him to various leisure activities. A good start is to persuade him that holidays are a "psychological investment", and that it is perfectly feasible to combine business with pleasure. They can take work with them. For a captain of industry, holidays are ideal of strategic planning. They can call the office, though the aim must be to reduce the number of calls as the holiday progresses. They can be persuaded to take up golf. It is not only a pleasant and healthy way of going for a leisurely walk, but it can also be good for business. Once the initial leisure training period has been completed you can try to hook him on other activities which are every bit as challenging as a take-over bid. He can climb mountains, ride river rapids, go scuba diving. He may well end up making a happy discovery; leisure can be fun.

单选题[此试题无题干]

单选题 About a decade ago, then-Republican House leader Newt Gingrich raised a big stir when he implied that a mother's drowning of her two children in South Carolina was the result of years of permissive rule by the Democrats. His political enemies struck back, and it became a major moment in the morality plays of the 1990s. Gingrich is gone, relegated to the sidelines of the talking-head circuit. But after a decade of his Republicans in control, the headlines don't seem all that different. In the same month of an election in which a fifth or so of the voters said they were most concerned about fuzzily defined "moral values", Americans cringed at the news at home. A hunter slaughtering other hunters in Wisconsin. A mother hacking off her child's limbs in Texas. A woman locking two little girls in a storage unit in Maryland. Then, the sad spectacles of out-of- control "athletes" and "fans" in hand-to-hand combat in Michigan and South Carolina sullied the week leading into Thanksgiving. But in this season of thankfulness, all of those episodes of failed civilization demand context. There remain significant things to be thankful for. This can be said even in the shadow of terrorism and an Iraqi War that has claimed the lives of more than 100 Americans and countless Iraqis just this month. Consider: The brave and selfless 18% 19- and 20-somethings who have fought and died or were maimed in Iraq and Afghanistan, including those who endured the hell of Fallujah. Whether you believe in the war in Iraq or not, the pictures of mothers and fathers, siblings and friends mourning over caskets at Arlington National Cemetery deserve to be remembered this holiday season. Their sacrifice is unmatched, and beyond our ability to repay. Remember them the next time you see a foot- ball player flex his muscles at the 50-yard line or an entertainer complain about not getting the respect he or she deserves. Remember Pat Tillman, who quit the Arizona Cardinals football team to join the military? He died in Afghanistan. That's real tragedy and sacrifice, not some pro basketball player getting kicked off the court for a year for trying to take a spectator's head off. The political system. OK, list your grievances first: billionaires trying to buy the election of 2004; lawyers cynically exploiting loopholes of a freshly passed campaign finance law; nasty words flying on the Internet and talk TV. About as many people remain distressed that President Bush won re-election as those who are glad he won. But despite all these caveats, you'd also have to agree that much of the world still changes leaders at the point of a gun or remains governed by blood or entitlement. Yet this country just persevered through one of its most bitter, hard- fought elections without violence or retribution. That must be worth something in these uncertain times.

单选题Shopping has always been something of an impulse activity, in which objects that catch our fancy while strolling are immediately bought on a whim. Advertisers and sellers have taken advantage of this fact, carefully positioning inexpensive but attractive items on paths that we are most likely to cross, hoping that our human nature will lead to a greater profit for them. With the dawn of the Internet and its exploding use across the world, the same tactics apply. Advertisers now place "banners", links to commercial web sites decorated with attractive pictures designed to catch our eyes while browsing the webs, on key web sites with heavy traffic. They pay top dollar for the right, thus creating profits for the hosting web site as well. These actions are performed in the hopes that during the course of our casual and leisurely web surfing, we"ll click on that banner that sparks our interest and thus, in theory, buy the products advertised. Initial results have been positive. Web sites report a huge inflow of cash, both from the advertisers who tempt customers in with the banners and the hosting web sites, which are paid for allowing the banners to be put in place. As trust and confidence in Internet buying increases and information security is heightened with new technology, the volume of buying is increasing, leading to even greater profits. The current situation, however, is not quite as optimistic. Just as magazine readers tend to unconsciously ignore advertisements in their favorite periodicals, web browsers are beginning to allow banners to slip their notice as well. Internet users respond to the flood of banners by viewing them as annoyances, a negative image that is hurting sales, since users are now less reluctant to click on those banners, preferring not to support the system that puts them in place. If Internet advertising is to continue to be a viable and profitable business practice, new methods will need to be considered to reinvigorate the industry. With the recent depression in the technology sector and slowing economy, even new practices may not do the trick . As consumers are saving more and frequenting traditional real estate businesses over their Internet counterparts, the fate of Internet business is called into question. The coming years will be the only reliable indication of whether shopping on the world wide web is the wave of the future or simply an impulse activity whose whim has passed.
