25、ecutive pay continues to roar at least so far. Business Weeks annual survey finds that chief executive officers (CEOs) at 365 of the largest companies got compensation last year averaging $ 3. 1 million up 1. 3 percent from 1994. Why are the top bosses getting an estimated 485 times the pay of a typ

26、ical factory worker? That is up from 475 times in 1999 and a mere 42 times in 1980. One reason may be what experts call the “Lake Wobegon effect“ . Corporate boards tend to reckon that “all CEOs are above average“ a play on Garrison Keillors famous line in his public radio show, A Prairie Home Compa

27、nion that all the towns children are “above average“ . Consultants provide boards with surveys of corporate CEO compensation. Since directors are reluctant to regard their CEOs as below average, the compensation committees of boards tend to set pay at an above-average level. The result: Pay levels g

28、et ratcheted(一步步地增加 )up. Defenders of lavish CEO pay argue there is such a strong demand for experienced CEOs that the free market forces their pay up. They further maintain most boards structure pay packages to reflect an executives performance. They get paid more if their companies and their stock

29、 do well. So companies with high-paid CEOs generate great wealth for their shareholders. But the supposed cream-of-the-crop executives did surprisingly poorly for their shareholders in 1999, says Scott Klinger, author of this report by a Boston-based Organization United for a Fair Economy. If an inv

30、estor had put $ 10,000 apiece at the end of 1999 into the stock of those companies with the 10 highest-paid CEOs, by year-end 2000 the investment would have shrunk to $ 8,132. If $ 10,000 had been put into the Standard and the adaptive consequences may not seem obvious. Yet, dramatic instances of su

31、dden forgetting can be seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget can be interpreted to having survived through a process of natural selection in animals. Indeed, when ones memory of an emotionally painful experience leads to serious anxiety, forgetting may produce relief. Nevertheles

32、s, an evolutionary interpretation might make it difficult to understand how the commonly gradual process of forgetting survived natural selection. In thinking about the evolution of memory together with all its possible aspects, it is helpful to consider what would happen if memories failed to fade.

33、 Forgetting clearly aids ori-entation in time, since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out, providing clues for inferring duration. Without forgetting, adaptive ability would suffer; for example, learned behavior that might have been correct a decade ago may no longer be. Cases are recor

34、ded of people who (by ordinary standards) forgot so little that their everyday activities were full of confusion. Thus forgetting seems to serve the survival of the individual and the species. 41 The authors main purpose of the passage is to （ A） interpret the function of forgetting （ B） illustrate

35、the process of adapting （ C） explain the performance of memory （ D） emphasize the importance of learning 42 The author is pronouncing that if a person never forgets he would_. （ A） survive best （ B） get into a lot of trouble （ C） succeed in everything （ D） have no orientation in time 43 What does th

36、e expression “if memories failed to fade“(Line 2, Para. 3)mean? （ A） If people could not memorize things well. （ B） If memories did not go slowly out and disappear. （ C） If people could not impress their failures on mind. （ D） If people could not succeed in controlling their memory. 44 When the auth

37、or said “Cases are recorded of people who forgot so little“ (Line 5, Para. 3) he meant that there were cases_. （ A） that were forgotten by some people （ B） that were recorded by forgetful people （ C） in which people did not forget things as normal people did （ D） in which some people were normally f

38、orgotten by others 45 The tone of the passage can best be described as （ A） hypothetical （ B） humorous （ C） exaggerative （ D） philosophical 45 Mobile office is the mutual product of economic, scientific and social progress. Mobile office has become a solution that provides users with convenient, pro

39、mpt, safe, reliable and reasonably priced communications and office faculty anywhere anytime via the support of mobile interconnection platform (MIP) and its applications systems. When you leave your office to attend meetings or travel on business, what would happen to your business routine? Of cour

40、se, faxes and e-mails would be still sent to your fax machine or e-mail box, but you cannot read them and make prompt reaction timely. When your clients need you to make some urgent modifications on your work and you are neither in the office nor carrying relevant documents, what can you do? Maybe y

41、ou have to say “sorry“ to the clients. But, your business will be affected, the clients will be unhappy and disappointed because of your delay, and you will lose a lot of business opportunities. In fact, very frequently, you need to check, reply, distribute, display, modify or read some materials wh

42、en you are not in your office. You must get out of this dilemma. The best solution to normally handle your-business anywhere anytime and not to disappoint your clients is to let your office “move“ with you. Thus, you can have convenient, prompt, safe, reliable and reasonably priced communications an

43、d office faculty anywhere anytime. With the development of communications technology, network application and wireless interconnection, mobile office has become simpler and smaller, and even can be realized via one mobile phone with data communications function. Thus, mobile office has already been

44、put into your pocket, and office mobility has been realized.
