听力原文: Has this ever happened to you? You're sitting in the office one morning. You're trying to work, but the working is boring and your mind is not on what you are doing. Suddenly, you think of an old frienD.You haven't seen her or heard from her for a long timE.You wonder how she is and what she's been doing. When you get home from work, the phone is ringing, before you answer it, you think you know who the caller is. And you are right! It's your old friend! She says, 'I was thinking about you this morning. I called to find out how you are and what you've been doing.'
Why were you and your friend thinking about one another at the same time? How did you know who was calling? After you and your friend recovered from the surprise, did one of you mention ESP?
Everyone talks about ESP, or extrasensory perception, but no one really understands what it is. Scientists who have studied it say that it is knowing something without using any of the five senses—seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching. But why can't we explain how it works or why some people have it and others don't?
There are 3 kinds of ESP. Telepathy is knowing what another person is thinking or feeling (i.E.when you and your friends had the same thoughts at the same time). Clairvoyance is 'seeing' what is happening in a place that is far away. Precognition is knowing what is going to happen before it happens(i.E.when you knew who was calling).
Do you have ESP? There are tests you can use to find out.
To test yourself and your friends for telepathy, make cards out of 5 small pieces of heavy paper. Put a different mark on each card—a star, a circle, a cross, square, and some wavy lines. Ask your friends to hold up one card at a time and look at the symbol. Then try to 'read' your friends' mind to find out what the symbol on each card is. Ask your friends to write down your answers and to record what the symbol really was. Do this 5 times. If you have more than five correct answers out of 25, your ESP is working!
Here is a clairvoyance experiment. Gather 5 different objects—perhaps a key, a pencil, a watch, a book and a cup—and put them on a tray. Ask everyone in the room to look at the things for a few minutes. Then choose one person and ask him or her to take the tray to the next room, put one of the objects in the center of that room, and put the tray and the other things asidE.When the person returns, ask everyone to concentrate on the object in the center of the room. When each of you thinks you know what the object is, write It on a piece of paper. Do this experiment several times.
To test for precognition, you can use the same 5 objects. Place them in a circlE.Ask each person to write down the name of the object thatwill be placed in the center of the next room. Then ask one person to take all of the objects to that room and place one thing in the center. When the person returns, look at each piece of paper. Did you or any of your friends predict the future?

单项选择题
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.Today, with very few exceptions, the stock of large U. S. corporations is held by financial institutions such as pension funds, foundations, or mutual funds—not by individual shareholders. And these financial institutions cannot legally become real capitalists who control what they own. How much they can invest in any one company is limited by law, as is how actively they can intervene in company decision making.These shareholders and corporate managers have a very different agenda than dominant capitalists do, and therein lies the problem. They do not have the clout to change business decisions, corporate strategy, or incumbent managers with their voting power. They can enhance their wealth only by buying and selling shares based on what they think is going to happen to short-term profits. Minority shareholders have no choice but to be short-term traders.And since shareholders are by necessity interested only in short-term trading, it is not surprising that managers' compensation is based not on long-term performance, but on current profits or sales. Managerial compensation packages are completely congruent with the short-run perspective of short run shareholders. Neither the manager nor the shareholder expects to be around very long. And neither has an incentive to watch out for the long term growth of the company.We need to give managers and shareholders an incentive to nurture long-term corporate growth—in other words, to work as hard at enhancing productivity and output as they now work at improving short-term profitability.Which of the following summarizes the main idea of the passage?A.Most big companies are run by individual capitalists.B.The problem is that there are no incentives for productivity growth.C.Let's put capitalists back into capitalism.D.Individual capitalists or shareholders with enough stock dominate big corporations.
