[不定项选择题] “There is one and only one social responsibility of business,” wrote Milton Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist, “That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” But even if you accept Friedman’s premise and regard corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders’ money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies—at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.
The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a “signal” that a company’s products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company’s products as an indirect way to donate to the good causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse “halo effect,” whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.
Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. A recent study attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCP
A). It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company’s products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.
The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms’ political influence, rather than their CSR stand, that accounted for the leniency: Companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.
In all, the study concludes that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do seem to be influenced by a company’s record in CSR. “We estimate that either eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign officials,” says one researcher.
Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do-gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.
Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?
A.The necessary amount of companies’ spending on it is unknown.
B.Companies’ financial capacity for it has been overestimated.
C.Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.
D.It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.

[单选题]Mark Twain is one of America′s much-beloved authors,creating imaginative and humorous classics for children and adults alike,such as The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,The Prince and The Pauper,and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn．Twain passed away in 1910,leaving behind a treasure of great literature．But now,100 years after his death,he′11 have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-volume autobiography．
Twain hasn′t been keeping busy in his tomb:it was his wish that publishers wait until 100 years after his death to publish his memoirs(自传),which he spent the last decade of his life working on．
The autobiography totals more than 5,000 pages,and likely won′t be all sunshine and roses．It?seems that Twain harbored some bitterness against former girlfriends and ex-friends．He also writes?negatively about politicians of his day,such as Teddy Roosevelt．It′s likely that he requested such?a long lead time for the memoirs because he didn′t want to hurt the feelings of anyone mentioned in?this work．
Although small sections of the memoirs have been previously published,the autobiography has?never been available in full,and should provide great insights into the man behind the classic?books．The first volume of the set will be available in November,and the trilogy is being published?by the University of California,Berkeley．
“There are so many biographies of Twain,and many of them have used bits and pieces of the?autobiography,”editor Robert Hirst told The Independent．“But biographers pick and choose what?bits to quote．By publishing Twain′s book in full,we hope that people will be able to come to their?own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was．"
What is the purpose of publishing Twain′s autobiography?《》（）
A.To supplement other biographies．
B.To help readers to understand Mark Twain．
C.To introduce Mark Twain's works．
D.To expose new discoveries about Mark Twain．
