问答题The first thing I want to insist on is that reading should be enjoyable. Of course, there are many books that we all have to read, either to pass examinations or to acquire information, from which it is impossible to extract enjoyment. We are reading them for instruction, and the best we can hope is that our need for it will enable us to get through them without tedium. Such books we read with resignation rather than with alacrity. But that is not the sort of reading I have in mind. The books I shall mention in due course will help you neither to get a degree nor to earn your living, and they will not teach you to sail a boat or get a stalled motor to run, but they will help you to live more fully. That, however, they cannot do unless you enjoy reading them.

问答题The only solid pieces of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-had spots.

问答题Of course you would like to double your money. I understand exactly how you feel. The hope that such a thing will happen for them is what pulls hundreds of thousands of people to the race tracks and to the gambling tables every day. But there's one great difference between those people and you. When they place a bet on a horse, a card, or a number, they do so with the full realization that the money they put up will bring them no dividends or interest, and if they happen to be wrong, the money is gone forever. Mrs. Brown, you and I have had some long sessions together. You have been frank and open with me, trusting me as your counselor, and I know how important it is to you to preserve every bit of your capital. You've shown me the vital need to keep that money working for you so that it can produce the income you need for your living expenses. I would be doing you a serious disservice if I did not warn you, as emphatically as I know how, against the step you are considering.

问答题 Nothing has come to embody corporate greed like executive perks: the corporate jets, chauffeured limousines and country-club memberships that bosses consume in a seemingly deliberate attempt to outrage public opinion. Not for nothing bas Warren Buffett. Omaha's celebrated investor, named his corporate jet "The Indefensible". The usual explanation for the perk is that it is a (rather enjoyable) way for corporate insiders to misappropriate shareholders' money. (46) {{U}}Because perks are poorly disclosed shareholders have no way of knowing when the boss is living it up at their expense{{/U}}. This has led to the theory that perk-laden executives are likeliest to be found in firms with lots of cash. but few investment prospects. But in a recent paper, Raghuram Rajah, the IMF's chief economist, and Julie Wulf, of the Wharton School, looked at how more than 300 big companies dished out perks to their executives in 1986-99. (47) {{U}}It turns out that neither cash-rich, low-growth firms nor firms with weak governance shower their executives with unusually generous perks{{/U}}. The authors did. however, find evidence to support two competing explanations. (48) {{U}}First firms in the sample with more hierarchical organisations lavished more perks on their executives than firms with flatter structures{{/U}}. Why? Perks are a cheap way to demonstrate stares. Just as the armed forces ration medals, firms ration the distribution of conspicuous symbols of corporate status. Second, perks are a cheap way to boost executive productivity. (49) {{U}}Firms based in places where it takes a long time to commute are more likely to give the boss a chauffeured limousine{{/U}}. Firms located far from large airports are likelier to lay on a corporate jet. So there it is. The boss needs his luxury pad on Fifth Avenue and his chauffeured stretch-limo because he might otherwise do less work. (50) {{U}}Making it harder for the boss to consume conspicuously risks dangerous anarchy as, bereft of its symbols of corporate status, the firm's hierarchy collapses into a muddled heap{{/U}}. Perhaps, in light of these findings, Mr. Buffett should call his next jet "The Indispensable".

问答题A new era is upon us. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we're partly there. (1){{U}}The percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World.{{/U}} Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan(two thirds or more in many of these countries)are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. (2){{U}}There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breadth of the economic transformation can't be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to a radical new way of thinking about the nature of work itself.{{/U}} (3){{U}}Long-held notions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers—all these are being challenged.{{/U}} (4){{U}}We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead.{{/U}} (5){{U}}No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots.{{/U}}
