13、Suddenly Lady Windermere looked eagerly round the room, and said, in her clear contralto voice, “Where is my chiromantist?“Your what, Gladys?“ exclaimed the Duchess, trying to remember what a chiromantist really was, and hoping it was not the same as a chiropodist.“My chiromantist, Duchess: I cant l

14、ive without him at present. I must certainly introduce him to you.“Introduce him!“ cried the Duchess. “You dont mean to say he is here?“ She began looking about for a small tortoiseshell fan and a very tattered lace shawl so as to be ready to go at a moments notice.“Of course he is here: I would not

15、 dream of giving a party without him, He tells me I have a pure psychic band.“Oh, I see!“ said the Duchess, feeling very much relieved. “He tells fortunes, I suppose?“And misfortunes, too,“ answered Lady Windermere. “Any amount of them. Next year, for instance, I am in great danger, both by land and

16、 sea, so I am going to live in a balloon, and draw up my dinner in a basket every evening. It is all written down on my little finger, or on the palm of my hand. I forgot which.“ “But surely that is tempting Providence, Gladys.“ “My dear Duchess, surely Providence can resist temptation by this time.

17、 Everyone should have their hands told once a month, so as to know what not to do. Of course, one does it all the same, but it is so pleasant to be warned. Ah, here is Mr. Podgers! Now, Mr. Podgers, I want you to tell the Duchess of Paisleys hand.“Dear Gladys, I really dont think it is quite fight,“

18、 said the Duchess, feebly unbuttoning a rather soiled kid glove.“Nothing interesting ever is,“ said Lady Windmere. “But 1 must introduce you. Duchess, this is Mr. Podgers, my pet chiromantist. Mr. Podgers, this is the Duchess of Paisley, and if you say that she has a larger mountain of the moon than

19、 I have, I will never believe you again.“I am sure, Gladys, them is nothing of the kind in my hand,“ said the Duchess gravely.“Your grace is quite right,“ said Mr. Podgers, glancing at the little fat hand.“The mountain of the moon is not developed. The line of life, however, is excellent. You will l

20、ive to a great age, Duchess, and be extremely happy. Ambition - very moderate, line of intellect not exaggerated, line of heart.“Now, do be indiscreet, Mr. Podgers,“ cried Lady Windermere.“Nothing would give me greater pleasure,“ said Mr. Podgers, bowing, “if the Duchess ever had been, but I am sorr

21、y to say that I see great permanence of affection, combined with a strong sense of duty.“Pray go on, Mr. Podgers,“ said the Duchess, looking quite pleased.“Economy is not the least of your Graces virtues,“ continued Mr. Podgers, and lady Windermere went off into fits of laughter.“Economy is a very g

22、ood thing,“ remarked the Duchess complacently. “When I married Paisley he had eleven castles, and not a single house fit to live in.“And now he has twelve houses, and not a single castle,“ cried Lady Windmere. “You have told the Duchesss character admirably, Mr. Podgers, and now you must tell Lady F

23、loras.“ In answer to a nod, a tall girl steppe, d awkwardly from behind the sofa and held out a long, bony hand.“Ah, a pianist? said Mr. Podgers. “Very reserved, very honest, and with a great love of animals.“Quite true!“ exclaimed the Duchess, turning to Lady Windermere. “Flora keeps two dozen coll

24、ie dogs at Macloskie, and would turn our town house into a menagerie if her father would let her.“Well, that is just what I do with my house every Thursday evening,“ cried Lady Windermere, laughing. “Only I like lions better than collie dogs. But Mr. Podgers must read some more hands for us. Come, L

25、ady Marvel, show him yours.“But Lady Marvel entirely declined to have her past or her future exposed. In fact, many people seemed afraid to face the odd little man with his stereotyped smile and his bright, beady eyes; and when he told poor Lady Fermor right out before everyone that she did not care

Unravel peoples unspoken plans.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)The spectacular collapse of so many big financial firms during the crisis of 2008 has provided new evidence for

32、 the belief that stockmarket capitalism is dangerously short-termist. After all, shareholders in publicly traded financial institutions cheered them on as they boosted their short-term profits and share prices by taking risky bets with enormous amounts of borrowed money. Those bets, it turns out, di

33、d terrible damage in the longer term, to the firms and their shareholders as well as to the economy as a whole. Shareholders can no longer with a straight face cite the efficient-market hypothesis as evidence that rising share prices are always evidence of better prospects, rather than of an unsusta

34、inable bubble.If the stockmarket can get wildly out of whack in tile short run, companies and investors that base their decisions solely on passing movements in share prices should not be surprised if they pay a penalty over the long term. But what can be done to encourage a longer-term perspective?

35、 One idea that is increasingly touted as a solution is to give those investors who keep hold of their shares for a decent length of time more say over the management of a company than mere interlopers hoping to make a quick buck. Shareholders of longer tenure could get extra voting rights, say, or n

36、ew ones could be barred from voting for a spell.An advisory committee in the Netherlands has proposed loyalty bonuses for long-term shareholders, such as increased dividends or additional voting rights after holding a share for four years. Likewise, Britains minister for financial services, Paul Myn

37、ers, has suggested that short-term holders of shares should have inferior voting rights.The theory behind these proposals is that those who hold shares longer are more likely to behave like owners than those who trade frequently to bet on short-term movements in prices. Disenfranchising the punters

38、would not only give investors an incentive to hang onto their shares for longer, the argument runs, but would also encourage those with voting rights to use them, as they would know their votes would be more likely to count in board elections and so forth.Would it work? Happily, an experiment in dua

39、l classes of shareholders has long been under way in France, where shares often gain double voting rights after being held for a specified period - usually two years, although sometimes as long as ten. A recent paper, “Disclosure and Minority Expropriation: A Study of French Listed Firms“, by Chiraz

40、 Ben Ali, an economist at the University of Paris Dauphine, found that the main impact of the dual-class structure was to increase the exploitation of minority shareholders (which tended to own the shares with weaker voting rights) by the controlling majority. Accounting practices, for example, tend

41、 to be much less transparent. Admittedly, Frances feeble safeguards for minority shareholders may be partly responsible for this result but at the very least that suggests that extra voting rights are no cure-all.Equally, there is some evidence, albeit not conclusive, that short-term shareholders fr

42、om activist hedge funds and the like can improve the performance of poorly run companies through brief campaigns to improve their strategy or management. As Colin Melvin, the boss of Hermes Equity Ownership Services, an advisory firm with activist leanings, points out. “ Disproportionate voting righ

43、ts can (and often do) serve to insulate management and make it less accountable to shareholders. “In short, the tength of time that an investor holds a share does not tell you a lot about how much interest he will take in the management of the firm concerned. Many long-term index investors hold shar

44、es for years without taking the slightest interest in how the firms they invest in are run, let alone doing anything to improve matters. There is also a moral argument, of course, against depriving property-owners of their rights, no matter how seldom they make use of them.The real issue is not how

45、to encourage investors to keep hold of their shares for longer, but how to encourage more of them to take their duties as owners seriously, irrespective of the length of their tenure. Instead of creating multiple classes of shareholders, governments and regulators may want to think about how they de

46、fine fiduciary duties in the financial realm. Better yet, the investing public, whose retirement savings have atrophied in the financial crisis thanks in part to the short-term way in which they were invested, may sort things out themselves, by demanding a longer-term perspective from the pension an

47、d mutual funds that they have entrusted with their money.（分数：5.00）(1).The word “short-termist“ in the first sentence semantically correlates more withA. financial institutions.
