Most big corporations were once run by
individual capitalists: by one shareholder with enough stock to dominate the
board of directors and to dictate policy, a shareholder who was usually also the
chief executive officer. Owning a majority or controlling interest, these
capitalists did not have to concentrate on reshuffling assets to fight off raids
from financial vikings. They were free to make a living by producing new
products or by producing old products more cheaply. Just as important, they were
locked into their roles. They could not very well sell out for a quick
profit—dumping large stock holdings on the market would have simply depressed
the stock’s price and cost them their jobs as captains of industry. So instead
they sought to enhance their personal wealth by investing—by improving the
long-run efficiency and productivity of the company.
A. (A) these shareholders and corporate managers like dominant capitalists have rights to manage their corporations
B. (B) capitalists actually hold the stock of large U.S. corporations______.
C. (C) these financial institutions cannot legally become real capitalists who control what they own
D. (D) these financial institutions legally have chances to become real capitalists

[单项选择]Colleges and universities were once largely removed from the marketplace as they dedicated themselves to the pursuit of ideas, discovery and truth, and to the education of students for the common good. In exchange, they received from society academic freedom, tax exemptions and the public trust.
In today’s world, Professor Derek Bok, former president of Harvard, writes in his new book Universities in the Marketplace: the Colnmercialization of Higher Education, drug companies pour billions of dollars into medical schools, universities sell the right to use their scientific discoveries to industry, and faculty members occupy such industry endowed chairs as the Kmart professor of marketing.

Vacations are more necessary now than before because today the average life is less well-rounded and has become increasingly compartmentalized. 72. I suppose the idea of vacations, as we conceive it, must be incomprehensible to primitive peoples.
