单选题In 10 years, the mutual-fund industry won't even be called that. The term "mutual fund" will be much too confining to encompass(包括) the various types of mixed investment vehicles(手) that will be available to investors around the world. Technology, especially the Internet, will be the most significant driver, affecting every aspect of the mutual-fund industry, from products and delivery to providers and customers. The future version of today's mutual funds will be available for purchase across the globe by citizens of many nationalities in just about any currency. The average investor will be able to trade bonds as well as stocks with ease 24-hours a day, 365 days a year by using voice-held, satellitelinked PCs. A Brazilian citizen, for example, will be able to buy shares of the Vanguard 500 Index Fund in London at midnight, using its price in New York at 02:00 Greenwich Time, to be settled in Japanese yen. With the vast amount of information and instantaneous (瞬间) service available to investors through the Internet, the merits of an investment product will drive its consumption. Investment products in the next decade will come in finer shades of investment objectives. Demand for investment products will be huge around the world. In the United States, there has been considerable discussion of the impact that maturing baby boomers will have on financial markets and levels of investment. The subsequent Generation X and Internet Generation groups are very likely to pick up any slack (呆滞,萧条) due to disinvestment by boomers, and on their own, elevate investment to a new level by 2008. Generation X'ers(新生的一代人) appear to be more highly motivated to invest than the boomers, while the Net Generation' s comfort level with technology will stimulate investment as well.

单选题The old worker has been on the ______ in this factory for nearly 20 years.

单选题Fingerprints, one of the great deciders of innocence or guilt in criminal charges, are now being placed in doubt. This is because of a growing number of claims from defendants(被告) that their "prints" have been "lifted" and planted at scenes of crimes. And these allegations(断言) are being taken seriously by lawyers, judges, and policemen because it is possible to move a finger print from one spot and place it elsewhere. A committee of lawyers is making an investigation into fingerprinting. They are not aiming to establish if these allegations are true or not, but they are questioning current fingerprinting methods as part of a general inquiry into scientific evidence. How can a fingerprint be transferred? A fingermark left on a greasy(油腻的) glass or some other smooth surface can be "lifted" with a strip of adhesive(胶粘剂). It can then be deposited on another, perhaps incriminating(与罪牵连) object. Before 1973, fingerprints at the scene of a crime used to be photographed for identification purposes and the objects carrying the prints were shown in court as well. However, this is no longer necessary. Since 1973, a new method of taking prints has been used. Police experts can now use a strip of adhesive tape to "lift" a print which is then produced in court as evidence. As a result, criminals are accusing the police of lifting their prints and planting them at the scene of a crime. And lawyers are worried about this increasing number of claims. According to the ex-chief of Scotland Yard's fingerprint department, Mr Harold Squires, more than 55 % of the cases he now gets are making these claims. But so far he has not seen any fingerprint evidence that proves the allegations to be true. Lifting a mark and putting it on another object requires great skill and trouble. It's almost impossible but it can be done. It can usually be easily detected by experts, but there is a chance that even experts may not be able to tell. So he would like the old method of photographing prints and producing them together with the objects to be generally used again.

单选题 Letting it out may be bad for your emotional health. Many people assume that sharing feelings openly and often is a positive ideal that promotes mental health. But some social critics and psychologists now conclude that repressing one's feelings may do more good than venting emotions. "A small number of researchers are taking an empirical look at the general assumption that speaking out and declaring one's feelings is better than holding them in," writes Christina Sommers, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. At Suffilk University, psychologist Jane Bybee classified high-school students on the basis of their self-awareness: "sensitizers" were extremely aware of their internal states, "repressors" focused little on themselves, and "intermediates" occupied the middle range. Bybee then collected student evaluations of themselves and each other, along with teacher evaluations of the students. On the whole, the repressors were more socially and academically successful than their more "sensitized" classmates. Bybee speculated that repressed people, not emoters, may have a better balance of moods. In a study at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., researcher George Bonarmo tested the assumption that, in order to recover mental health, people need to vent negative emotions by discussing their feelings openly. Bonanno and other researchers found that, among adolescent girls who had suffered sexual abuse, those who "showed emotional avoidance" were healthier than those who more openly expressed grief or anger. One study of Holocaust survivors supports Bonanno in suggesting that verbalizing strong emotions may not improve a person's mental health. Researchers found that Holocaust survivors who were encouraged to talk about their experiences in the war fared worse than repressors. They concluded that repression was not pathological response to Holocaust experience and that "talking through" the atrocities failed to being closure to the survivors. Sommers note that in many societies it has been considered normal to repress private feelings, and that "in most cultures stoicism and reticence are valued, while the free expression of emotions is deemed a personal shortcoming." She is concerned that pushing someone to be "sensitizers" may also create a preoccupation with self that excludes outside interests. Sommers is particularly critical of educational approaches that attempt to encourage self-discovery and self-esteem through excessive "openness". Healthy stoicism should not be confused with the emotional numbness that may be brought on by post-traumatic stress disorder. Most people experiencing such traumas as war, assault, or natural disaster can benefit from immediate counseling, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

单选题{{B}}21-25{{/B}} 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.
