It sounds peculiar, but the logic is ironclad. Rational investors would take into account everything th

29、ey know when buying or selling stock all the information available about where profits, interest rates, technology and so on are going. So stock prices would reflect all available knowledge, and would change only when new information came in. And new information is, by definition, unpredictable, whi

30、ch means that changes in stock prices would be unpredictable, too. But investors, being human, are driven by fear, greed and the madness of crowds. In principle this should create patterns in stock prices, and in principle you can use those patterns to outperform the market. But while it may be very

31、 hard to tell whether the market is overvalued or undervalued, one thing is for sure: It fluctuates more than it should. That is, instead of rising or falling only when there is real news about future, stocks surge and plunge for no good reason. People sell because other people are selling, or buy b

32、ecause other people are buying. And, as a result, it is more a series of random leaps than a random walk. Tuesday was a case in point. On a slow news day, markets suddenly dived, with the Dow falling by more than 3 percent and the Nastaq by more than 5 without anything happening to change your funda

33、mental view about what is going on in the U.S. economy. Why was the market so easily spooked Presumably because everyone is even more confused than usual about what stocks are really worth these days. On one side, the U.S. economy has been wallowing in good news. Productivity has been soaring, allow

34、ing the economy to grow far faster than seemed possible. And with clever new applications of silicon chips coming out every day, it is easy to become exuberant about the future. On the other hand, as any financial theorist could tell you, good news that you already expect to hear isnt news. Five yea

35、rs ago, a 2 percent annual increase in worker productivity would have been regarded as excellent, and stocks would have risen sharply. Today it would be regarded as a disappointing performance, and would drive stocks down. So, is it terrific or incredible. Nobody really knows. And a rational market

36、would accept this ignorance, and wait for some actual evidence in favor of one side or the other. Of course, it doesn t work that way. On Tuesday, something caused investors to become slightly less convinced than they had been the day before that we are living in the best of all possible world. And

37、the result was a huge destruction of paper virtual wealth.Paragraph 2 seems to suggest that Ainvestors are not always rational.Bstock price reflects all available knowledge.Ca rational investor should be good in prediction of the market.Dbecause new information is unpredictable, it is hard for inves

38、tors to be rational. 13.BTest 3/B We enter the new millennium with more poor people than the world has ever known. Out of 6 billion now (compared with fewer than 2 billion in 1900), 1.3 billion are below the absolute poverty line, living on less than $ 1 a day, and 2.8 billion eke out survival on le

39、ss than $ 2 a day. Inequality has multiplied enormously. The gap between the one-fifth of the world s people who live in the poorest countries and the one-fifth who live in the richest countries is now 71 to 1. In 1990 it was 60 to 1 and in 1960 it was 30 to 1. Yet in Asia, the absolutely poor are n

40、ow one-third of the total, compared with onehalf in 1970. Their average life expectancy is 65 years, compared with 48 years then, and 70 percent of adults are now literate, compared with 40 percent. So there has been improvement. But excruciating misery is still with us, even as part of the world fl

41、ushes with prosperity never known before. For one thing, the wealthy countries have cut back severely on foreign aid since the end of the Cold War, and as income continues to rise in the richest countries, generosity continues to fall. But overwhelming poverty is no longer accepted by everybody as a

42、 fact of nature. Enough people have become convinced that something can be clone about it to organize a diverse array of projects, and most projects are no longer based on the idea of the virtue of giving bounty only to those who deserve it because Poverty is largely manmade. This is a dramatic new

43、concept in the sweep of history. It is by no means taken for granted, but it is no longer inconceivable, as it was just a few years ago. In fact, even the word poverty is disdained by development specialists because of its implication of inferior capacity, beyond repair. The specialists prefer to sp

44、eak of exclusion, which suggests a minority that has yet to be given its chance. This chance is not merely aid. Aid can be perverted by mismanagement and bad ideas; it can support corrupt governments that exploit their people; it can be wasted in grandiose projects that fail to pay off. In todays wo

45、rld, economic 15rogress is no longer mainly about heavy, visible things involving iron and steel and electricity. Progress in the 21t century will be about light, invisible things like information technology, and will therefore necessarily be focused on the education and motivation of people. Theref

46、ore this is a new concept of poverty. It not only admits the serious situation the world encounters, but also states that to fundamentally change it, we must not overlook the human factor, otherwise, theories, ideology, even balance sheets will turn out to be of no avail.In the first paragraph, the

47、phrase eke out probably means Ato realize with strain.Bto base on.Cto suffer from.Dto fail to get. 14.BPart A/BBTest 1/B The United States has hosted the Olympic Games a record eight times. St. Louis, Los Angeles (twice) and Atlanta have been the sites of the summer Games while Lake Placid (twice),

48、Squaw Valley and Salt Lake City in 2002 have welcomed the winter Games. Ten U.S. cities have entered the process to become the candidate city for the 2010 Olympic Games which will be selected by the U.S. Olympic Committee Board of directors. The U.S. city will then face competition from around the world with the International Olympic Committee making the final decision. The 10 cities have un
