Their mot

17、to was laisser faire. Laisser faire means let the people do as they choose. In the economic sense, this meant that while the government should 2 things like maintaining peace and protection property rights, it should not 3 private business. It shouldn“t create requlations that might 4 business growt

18、h, nor should it be responsible for providing subsidies to help. 5 , governments should take a hands-off approach to business. For a while in the United States, laisser faire was a popular 6 . But things quickly changed. After the Civil War, politicians 7 opposed the government“s generous support of

19、 business owners. They were only too glad to support government land grants and loans to railroad owners for example. Their regulations kept 8 high and that helped protect American industrialists against foreign competition. Ironically in the late 19th century, a lot of people believed that the lais

20、ser faire policy was responsible for the country“s industrial growth. It was generally 9 that because business owners did not have a lot of external restrictions placed on them by the government, they could pursue their own 10 , and this was what made them so successful. But in fact, many of these i

21、ndividuals would not have been able to meet their objectives if not for government support. （分数：71.00）填空项 1:_九、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)十、Section A(总题数：1，分数：35.50)Videoconferencing is nothing more than a television set or PC monitor with a camera. Through the video conferencing, not only you

22、r voice but also your face, the surroundings and any other graphic and physical 1 can be captured and transmitted through the communication system with or without wires. Of course, when you go into the details, the technology involved is very 2 and the subject matter littered with jargon. Such as IS

23、DN (Integrated Services Digital Network), POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) or the 3 behind bandwidth, latency and is ochrony which are used to explain bow videoconferencing works. Good people communication is 4 in any business, and the more interaction you can achieve, the more likely it is that y

24、our 5 will be the right ones. Videoeonferencing not only allows you to speak to people in different locations, but also note 6 expressions and gestures that let you know what the other person is really thinking. Meetings are made more 7 by sharing documents and computer applications that a simple te

For the past quarter century, many individual investors f

27、ollowed a fairly simple investment strategy: set aside regular savings to invest, buy a diversified basket of holdings and ride out the occasional pullbacks by staying focused on very long-term returns. That conventional wisdom generally paid off. Now, with the stock market rallying after a crushing

28、 40 percent decline last year, that strategy seems to be making a comeback. But there are very unconventional forces at work today that may derail that method. B. After last year“s heart-stopping plunge, the stock market has gained about 25 percent since it bottomed in November. That stoked confiden

29、ce among some investors and financial advisers that the worst may be over and investors who bailed out last year should now go bargain hunting. “Stocks are cheap right now. There“s a lot of cash on the sidelines, and earnings are washed out, “said Rob Morgan, a market strategist for Clermont Wealth

30、Strategies. “We“ve got ingredients for positive things to happen. “ But there are also signs those traditional market signals may be flashing false positives. Here are some reasons to tread carefully. The coming economic revival C. The biggest force propping up stocks now is widespread confidence th

31、at the government is moving aggressively to revive the battered economy and credit markets. That confidence rests heavily on reports that the incoming Obama administration is readying a massive package of tax cuts and government spending to pull the economy out of its decrease. Merrill Lynch economi

32、st David Rosenberg has dubbed the market“s recent market gain a “shovel-ready rally“ one that assumes the economy will get back on track by the middle of this year. “The market may be focused less on the patient right now and more on the cure, “he wrote this week. “This, in turn, means that the doct

33、ors better come up with something that is going to turn the economy around.“ D. But the positive impact of the stimulus package is far from assured. Since last spring, the government has thrown $165 billion in stimulus and rebate checks at the economy, along with $350 billion to buy up bank assets a

34、ll on top of a $1 trillion-plus pump priming by the Federal Reserve, which also has pushed short-term interest rates to near zero. So far, the results have been mixed. Consumers used their rebate checks to save or pay down debts, not spend. Banks have used their newfound billions to bolster battered

35、 balance sheets, not lend. With most economists looking for those measures to begin working by the second half of the year, any delay in that recovery could spell big trouble for investors, according to Joe Battipaglia, a market strategist at Stifel Nicolaus. “Investors can get very impatient read t

36、hat as they become very nervous when the stimulative activity doesn“t take hold, where the Federal Reserve has stayed at zero for a long period of time yet the private sector is still in contraction,“ he said. Fed to the rescue E. As the market waits for Congress to act on more stimulus, the Fed has

37、 been aggressively pumping money into financial markets. Investors have also been conditioned to believe that when the Fed floods the system with money, the market responds. Perhaps the most dramatic demonstration came following the Crash of 1987. Stocks dropped 508 points, or almost 23 percent, on

38、Oct. 19, 1987. When word spread that the Fed had opened the financial sluice gates, stocks surged the very next day. Since it began pumping money in September, the Fed hasn“t loosened up the gears of the economy. Businesses are still cutting jobs and consumers are keeping their wallets shut. Despite

39、 committing over $1 trillion, through a maze of lending programs unprecedented in the Fed“s 96 year history, economic data continue to point to a steep decline. “It“s impossible given all the government intervention to really figure out what“s going to happen this year and when bottoms of markets ar

40、e going to take place,“ said Doug Dachille, CEO of First Principles Capital Management. Buy and hold F. The conventional wisdom of modern investing also holds that investors who hang on during market pullbacks will be rewarded eventually. Bullish advisers are also quick to point out that the biggest

41、 gains often occur early in any rally, and that it can be difficult to see them coming. Until recently, market pullbacks were relatively short-lived, which helped support the “buy and hold“ philosophy adopted by many long-term investors for a generation. But over the years, that long-range approach

42、has been less reliable. During protracted (拖延的) periods of economic breakdown, like the 1930s and 1970s, short- lived market rallies were followed by devastating pullbacks leaving buy-and-holders with negligible gains. That kind of market calls for an entirely different set of investing skills, acco

43、rding to Tobias Levkovich, chief U. S. equity strategist at Citigroup. “You can get very significant rallies, but investors who stick with a buy and hold strategy are probably not going to be the winners,“ he said. “It“s people who can trade more effectively.“ Cracked nest eggs G. The bull market th

44、at began in 1982 was fueled in part by a dramatic shift in retirememt savings after the creation of individual retirement accounts like company-sponsored 401 (k) plans. Most participants who opted to make regular contributions followed the “buy and hold“ strategy, making relatively few changes to th

45、eir holdings. That steady stream of cash helped the stock market produce one of its strongest 25-year gains in history. More recently, the popularity of 529 college savings plans have created a new pool of savings that flowed into stocks. H. But last year“s historic stock market pullback the worst a

46、nnual performance since 1931 may have soured some of those investors to stocks for a long time. Investors who are near retirement age have limited time to bear additional losses. Some 36 percent of Americans 45 and older say they“ve stopped putting money into a 401 (k), IRA or other retirement accou

47、nt up from 20 percent in October, according to a recent survey from AARP. Younger investors who are starting to build retirement accounts may think twice before investing heavily in stocks after seeing the recent losses. I. And as more baby boomers reach retirement age, they will become sellers of s

48、tocks. Many of them are saying they already lost a large portion of their retirement savings and will have to work harder to make ends meet with what they have left. “We don“t know if we will live long enough to see any recovery,“ wrote one msnhc. com reader from Pennsylvania. “I guess the only answ

49、er to our dilemma is to die 10 years sooner than we had expected. Or perhaps us old folks can get a job as Wal-Mart greeters.“（分数：71.00）(1).Rob Morgan had the proof that the stock market had a bright future.（分数：7.10）(2).The result of the stimulus package from the government is still unknown.（分数：7.10）(3).In 1982, investors chose to make regular contributions which result in the stable gains of the stock market.（分数：7.10）(4).When most baby boomers get to the retirem
