Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982. Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly. International affiliates account for a fastgrowing segment of production in economies that open up and wele foreign investment. In Argentina, for instance, after the reforms of the early 1990s, multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms. This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms, of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.

[A] optimistic [B] objective [C] pessimistic [D] biased Passage 5 When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might bee a part of a new international trend. A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exit by claiming “ I wanted to spend more time with my family” . Curiously, some twoandahalf years and two novels later, my experiment in what the Americans term “ downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “ having it all” , preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything. I have discovered, as perhaps Kelsey will after her muchpublicized resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress, that abandoning the doctrine of “ juggling your life” , and making the alternative move into “ downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status. Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once 上海航宇裝飾： enjoyed: 12hour working days, pressured deadlines, the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “ quality time”. In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle is a wellestablished trend. Downshiftingalso known in America as “ voluntary simplicity” has, ironically, even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism. There are a number of bestselling downshifting selfhelp books for people who want to simplify their lives。第二至六段介紹了以大法官埃爾溫勛爵為代表的法院在這個問題上的態(tài)度。因此，所填入的選項應(yīng)是一個表示“例如”或“像??上海航宇裝飾： 一樣”的連接詞。韋斯特案）的證人以圖收買他們的舉動。 本題要求考生判斷哪個選項與 bill搭配。 illegal 強調(diào)不符合法律規(guī)定，符合題意。 6.

For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the’ 80s, downshifting in the mid39。s wealth increases. Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty. Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to petition that were feared nearly a century ago in the ., when the Standard Oil trust was broken up. The mergers of tele panies, such as WorldCom, hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the 上海航宇裝飾： pace of technical progress. On the contrary, the price of munications is ing down fast. In cars, too, concentration is increasingwitness Daimler and Chrysler, Renault and Nissanbut it does not appear that consumers are being hurt. Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched. A few weeks ago, Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry.
