单选题Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK government exploring a "happiness index". It"s tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy. There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness (a great cookie, a bottle" of wine) and long-term happiness (financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they"re often in competition. Let"s say you"ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you"d be happier and healthier if you weren"t carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it"s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day—or to celebrate with friends. It"s the same with lots of other goal. If you"ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I"m not suggesting that you go out and get drunk every night, or that you stuff yourself with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don"t pin ai1 your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There"s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be perfect as soon as you"re making a six-figure salary.

单选题Advertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less. It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.

单选题It's almost the end of summer for the first annual contest to choose the best operating monopoly in America. Five contestants are selected. Each exhibits fine monopolistic characteristics and is worthy of serious consideration for the award. The U.S. Postal Service claims to be the longest-running monopoly and has the distinction of having its control over First Class mail prescribed by the Constitution. The monopoly has preserved large flows of revenues and high wage rates despite studies showing that private companies could carry the mail more efficiently at much lower cost. On the other hand, the position of the Postal Service has been eroded: first, by successful competition on package delivery; second, by the recent entry of express delivery services; and third, and potentially most damaging, by the introduction of the fax machine. Since faxes are bound to supplant(取代) a substantial fraction of First Class letters, the failure to get Congress to classify a fax as First Class mall and, hence, the exclusive domain of the post office shows a remarkable loss of political muscle. Thus, despite past glories, it is hard to be sanguine(乐观的) about the long-term prospects of the post office as a flourishing monopoly. OPEC was impressive in generating billions of dollars for its members. To understand the functioning of this cartel(卡特尔) it's important to sort out the good guys from the bad. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have typically held oil production below capacity and thereby kept prices above the competitive level. While Libya and Iraq have produced as much as they could and thereby kept prices low. The former were responsible for the vast expansion of oil revenues. But unfortunately, these countries could not keep the other OPEC members in line and were also able to exclude new producers or prevent conservation by consumers. Most cable TV companies have government-issued licenses that keep competitors out. Thus, this business supports the hypothesis that private monopolies aren't sustainable for long unless they have the weight of government behind them. The rapid escalation of prices and the limitations on services seem, however, to be getting customers and their congressional representatives progressively more annoyed. Thus, it would not be surprising if legislative action leads soon to a deterioration of the cable companies' monopoly power. Officials of Ivy League universities have been able to meet in semi-public forums to set rules that determine prices of admission as a function of applicant characteristics, especially financial resources. The universities have more or less successfully applied a high moral tone to the process: Rich applicants are charged more than the competitive price for schooling in order to subsidize(补贴) the smart poor, but it is unclear why this subsidy should come from the smart rich rather than from taxpayers in general. In any event, the universities' enviable cartel position has been damaged by the unenlightened Justice Department. 'Since most of the universities involved have agreed to stop these practices, it may be that future prices for private higher education will come closer to being competitively determined. The final contestant, the NCAA, has been remarkably successful in holding down "salaries" paid to college athletes. It would be one thing merely to collude to determine price ceilings, but the NCAA has also managed to monopolize all the moral arguments. The NCAA has the much more difficult task of defending a policy that prevents many poor individuals from earning money. Incredibly, this defense has been so successful that it has even allowed the organization to maintain the moral high ground. When the NCAA maintains its cartel by punishing schools that violate the rules, almost no one doubts that the evil entities are the schools or people who paid the athletes, rather than the cartel enforcers who prevented from getting paid: Given this extraordinary balancing act, the decision of the panelists was straightforward and the NCAA is the clear and deserving winner of the first annual prize for the best monopoly in America.
