Text 2We’re moving into another era, as the toxic effects of the bubble and its grave consequences spread through the financial system. Just a couple of years ago investors dreamed of 20 percent returns forever. Now surveys show that they’re down to a “realistic”8 percent to 10 percent range.But what if the next few years turn out to be below normal expectations? Martin Barners of the Bank Credit Analyst in Montreal expects future stock returns to average just 4 percent to 6 percent. Sound impossible? After a much smaller bubble that burst in the mid-1960s Standard Poor’s 5000 stock average returned 6.9 percent a year (with dividends reinvested) for the following 17 years. Few investors are prepared for that.Right now denial seems to be the attitude of choice. That’s typical, says Lori Lucas of Hewitt, the consulting firm. You hate to look at your investments when they’re going down. Hewitt tracks 500,000 401 (k) accounts every day, and finds that savers are keeping their contributions up. But they’re much less inclined to switch their money around. “It’s the slot-machine effect,” Lucas says. “People get more interested in playing when they think they’ve got a hot machine”—and nothing’s hot today. The average investor feels overwhelmed.Against all common sense, many savers still shut their eyes to the dangers of owning too much company stock. In big companies last year, a surprising 29 percent of employees held at least three quarters of their 402 (k) in their own stock.Younger employees may have no choice. You often have to wait until you’re 50 or 55 before you can sell any company stock you get as a matching contribution.But instead of getting out when they can, old participants have been holding, too. One third of the people 60 and up chose company stock for three quarters of their plan, Hewitt reports. Are they inattentive? Loyal to a fault? Sick? It’s as if Lucent, Enron and Xerox never happened.No investor should give his or her total trust to any particular company’s stock. And while you’re at it, think how you’d be if future stock returns—averaging good years and bad—are as poor as Barnes predicts.If you ask me, diversified stocks remain good for the long run, with a backup in bonds. But I, too, am figuring on reduced returns. What a shame. Dear bubble, I’ll never forget. It’s the end of a grand affair.第26题：The investors’ judgment of the present stock returns seems to be _____.［A］ fanciful［B］ pessimistic［C］ groundless［D］ realistic
In the author’s opinion, employees should _____.［A］ invest in company stock to show loyalty to their employer［B］ get out of their own company’s stock［C］ wait for some time before disposing of their stock［D］ give trust to a particular company’s stock

Andrea Jung, the chairman and CEO of Avon, is sitting in her office on the 27th floor of Avon’s New York headquarters considering an obvious question: What does it mean to be the first woman to lead the beauty products company in its 115-year history?"I guess it helps,' she says wryly(表情冷漠地)."You know, you go home and you try on a new mascara, and I guess a male CEO can't do that." She's joking, of course, but there's some truth to what she says.Glamorous, poised and always impeccably (无瑕疵的) dressed, Jung knows what women want and how to sell it to them.That’s what has made her one of the most successful CEOs----male or female----in recent years.And that’s what placed her at number four in the ranking of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business, an annual survey by “Fortune.” The top on the list is Carly Fiorina, chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company, a US computer hardware company.The oldest child of Chinese immigrants, Junggrew up speaking both English and Mandarin Chinese.She received a BA in English literature from Princeton University in 1979.After graduation, Jung joined themanagement trainee program at Bloomingdale’s (a world-renowned department store).She later joined I.Magnin (the premiere retail (零售) house in the US), in San Francisco, becoming senior vice president and general merchandise manager.In 1993 Jung became a consultant (顾问) for Avon, famous for selling beauty products door to door through sales representatives known as “Avon Ladies”.When Jung, now 43, took over Avon in November 1999, the company was in deep trouble.During the greatest economic boom in history, its stock was crumbling (崩溃).As fewer women wanted to go out onto the streets selling Avon products, its sales decreased.But Jung surprised a lot of people.Over the past 20 months she has overhauled (检查) nearly everything about the way Avon does business: How it advertises, manufactures, packages, and even how it sells its products.Most surprising, she has done it not by abandoning the seemingly outdated Avon Lady, but by reviving (使再流行) her.Under Jung, more Avon Ladies are signing up than ever before.6 Since Jung joined Avon, sales have risen by 30 per cent, profits by 40 per cent and the stock price has dramatically improved.And now, Avon is the second largest firm in the US headed by a woman, after Hewlett-Packard.1.What is the truth to what Andrea Jung said?A.A male CEO has not the ability to try on a new mascara.B.A female CEO has to be more careful about her appearance.C.A female CEO has to try on a new mascara each day.D.When at home, a female CEO always tries on a new mascara2.Which one is not true, according to the context?A.The chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Pachard Company is a woman.B.It seems that "Fortune" is the name of a magazine.C.Andrea Jung is the chairman and CEO of a IB computer hardware company.D.Avon is a beauty products company3.What did Jung do after she graduated from Princeton University?A.She became a trainer at Bloomingdale's.B.She became a member of an American retail house.C.She became president of an American retail house.D.She became general manager of Bloomingdale's4.What happened to Avon before Jung became CEO?A.The stock price of Avon was Killing.B.The sales volume increased dramatically.C.Avon hired more women to sell its beauty products.D.The stock price of Avon was rising5.What measure did Jung take to make Avon a profit-making company?A.She gave up Avon Lady that is no longer popular.B.She did much research and obtained much information.C.She employed more women as Avon LadiesD.Both B) and C)

Investment TipsBy Scott RussellInvesting in stocks that are less than $5 per share is a good way to boost your stock portfolio. Many big investors ignore these stocks because of the potential risks involved, however, these stocks often grow significantly over the course of time. Investing in inexpensive stocks is a wise move, provided that you hold on to them for at least one year to allow enough time for them to develop.Four stocks that I suggest for less than $5 per share are High Standard Pharmaceuticals Company, Nova Oil, Inc., Direct Access Publishing Group, and Peak Media Holdings. If you are new to the market, you might want to try investing in them through an online brokerage firm that does not charge a high commission for their services, and remember: only invest up to five percent of your entire stock portfolio in any stock, including these.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Quick Stock Quotes -- Thursday April 22 -- 2:40 P.M.(Quotes delayed by 20 minutes)Nova Oil, Inc.
