36、. It sounds peculiar, but the logic is ironclad. Rational investors would take into account everything they 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
37、would change only when new information came in. And new information is, by definition, unpredictable, which 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 sto
38、ck prices, and in principle you can use those patterns to outperform the market. But while it may be very 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 f
39、uture, stocks surge and plunge for no good reason. People sell because other people are selling, or buy because 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 fal
40、ling by more than 3 percent and the Nasdaq by more than 5 without anything happening to change your fundamental 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
41、 days. On one side, the U.S. economy has been wallowing in good news. Productivity has been soaring, allowing 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 han
42、d, as any financial theorist could tell you, good news that you already expect to hear isnt news. Five years 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,
43、and would drive stocks down. So, is it terrific or incredible? Nobody really knows. And a rational market would accept this ignorance, and wait for some actual evidence in favor of one side or the other. Of course, it doesnt work that way. On Tuesday, something caused investors to become slightly le
44、ss convinced than they had been the day before that we are living in the best of all possible world. And the result was a huge destruction of paper virtualwealth. 56 Paragraph 2 seems to suggest that_ （ A） investors are not always rational. （ B） stock price reflects all available knowledge. （ C） a r
45、ational investor should be good in prediction of the market. （ D） because new information is unpredictable, it is hard for investors to be rational. 57 According to the text, investors become irrational because_ （ A） they are not experienced. （ B） they possess the nature we all have. （ C） the U.S. e
46、conomy is sometimes unpredictable. （ D） they are confused about the changes of the stock market. 58 The result of “Tuesday case“ is that_ （ A） the U.S. economy soared. （ B） the U.S. stock price fell sharply. （ C） people were disappointed about U.S. economy. （ D） people were not sure about what stock
47、s were really worth. 59 In paragraph 5, the phrase “wallowing in“ may be replaced by_ （ A） delighted in. （ B） surprised by. （ C） convinced by. （ D） doubtful about. 60 We learn from the text that_ （ A） the investors are ignorant. （ B） the stock market can be frightened very easily. （ C） the falling o
48、f Dow by 3 percent is considered as a “random walk“. （ D） a 2 percent annual increase in worker productivity is not a good result. 61 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 be
49、low the absolute poverty line, living on less than $1 a day, and 2.8 billion eke out survival on less than $2 a day. Inequality has multiplied enormously. The gap between the one-fifth of the worlds 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 now one-third of the total, compared with one half in 1970. Their
