问答题A physician starCs playing a harsh mental tape in her head every time a new patient calls: What if I make the wrong diagnosis? I"m a terrible doctor. Haw did I get into medical school? An executive loses his jab despite 25 productive years, he tells himself: I"m a loser. I can"t provide far my family, and I"ll never be able to do it again. If these real-life examples sound familiar, you may have a caustic commentary running in your head, too. Psychologists say many of their patients are plagued by a harsh Inner Critic--including some extremely successful people who think it"s the secret to their success.
An Inner Critic can indeed raust you out of bed in the morning, get you an the treadmill (literally and figuratively) and spur you to finish that book or symphony or invention. But the desire to achieve can get hijacked by harsh judgment and unrelenting fear. Unrelenting self-criticism often goes hand in hand with anxiety, and it may even predict depression. Self-criticism is also a factor in eating disorders, and body disorder—that is, preoccupation with one"s perceived physical flaws. Many people"s Inner Critic makes an appearance early in life and is such a constant companion that it"s part of their personality. Psychologists say that children, parCicularly those with a genetic predisposition to depression, may internalize and exaggerate the expectations of parents or peers or socIety one theory is that selt-criticism is anger turned lnward, when sufferers are filled wlth hostllIty but too atraid and lnsecure to let it out. Other theories hoId that people who scoId themseIves are acting out guilt or shame or subconsciousIy shieIding themseIves against criticism from others: Y0u can"t tell me anything l don"t aIready tell myself, even in harsher terms.
Techniques from cognitive behavioraI therapy can be heIpfuIin changing patterns of thought that have become painful. There are many patients, such as doctors, lawyers—who beIieved that if they didn"t flog themseIves, they wouldn"t be successful. And part of psychologists"work is to break through that belief by telling the patients that they usuaIIy succeed in spite of their inner Critics, not because of them(360 words)

问答题The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed. The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might. Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying: "Won"t the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anti-competitive force?"
There"s no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful. Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates account for a fast-growing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.
I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: failing transportation and communication costs, lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers" demands. All these are beneficial, not detrimental, to consumers. As productivity grows, the world"s wealth increases.
Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could re-create the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the US, when the Standard 0il trust was broken up. The mergers of telecom companies, such as World Com, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress. On the contrary, the price of communications is coming down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.
