单选题 The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communicationstechnologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in globalpublic relations or PR. Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership inpublic relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example,the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. TheBritish in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that morethan half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planningactivities, compared to about one-third of U.S companies. It may not be long before Londonreplaces New York as the capital of PR. Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend tobe fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, forexample, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their Europeanand Asian counterparts (相对对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent ofBurson-Marshall's U.S employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the samepercentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in asecond language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on internationalaffairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal.Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and TheEconomist, publications not often read in this country. Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable NewsNetwork) . Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNNnews broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the worldso interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.

单选题This country, as Lincoln said, belongs to the people. So do the natural resources which make it rich. They supply the basis of our prosperity now and hereafter. In preserving them, which is a national duty, we must not forget that monopoly is based on the control of natural resources and natural advantages, and that it will help the people little to conserve our natural wealth unless the benefits which it can yield are given back to the people. Let us remember, also, that conservation does not stop with the natural resources. The principle of making the best use of all we have requires that we stop the waste of human life in industry and prevent the waste of human welfare which flows from the unfair use of concentrated power and wealth in the hands of men whose eagerness for profit blinds them to the cost of what they do. We have no higher duty than to promote the efficiency of the individual. There is no surer road to the efficiency of the nation.
