Passage One Questions 16 to20 are based on the following passage: .j!:Hp(z} Sometimes, over a span of many years, abusiness will continue to grow, generating ever-increasing amounts of cash,repurchasing stock, paying increased dividends, reducing debt, opening newstores, expanding production facilities, moving into new markets, etc., whileat the same time its stock price remains stagnant (or even falls). d.sn D)X When this happens, the average andprofessional investors alike tend to overlook the company because they becomefamiliar with the trading range. ?r0>HvUf!l Take, for example, Wal-Mart. Over thepast five years, the retailing behemoth has grown sales by over 80%, profits byover 100%, and yet the stock price has fallen as much as 30% during thattimeframe. Clearly, the valuation picture has changed. An investor that readthe annual report back in 2000 or 2001 might have passed on the security,deeming it too expensive based on a metric such as the price to earnings ratio.Today, however, the equation is completely different—despite the stock price,Wal-Mart is, in essence, trading at half its former price because each share isbacked by a larger dividend, twice the earnings power, more stores, and abigger infrastructure. Home Depot is in much the same boat, largely becausesome Wall Street analysts question how fast two of the world's largestcompanies can continue to grow before their sheer size slows them down to therate of the general economy. V" 5rIk Coca-Cola is another excellent example ofthis phenomenon. Ten years ago, in 1996,the stock traded between a range of $36.10 and $ 54.30 per share. At the time, it had reported earnings per share of$1.40 and paid a cash dividend of $ 0.50 per share. Corporate per share bookvalue was $ 2.48.Last year, the stock tradedwithin a range of $ 40.30 and $ 45.30 per share; squarely in the middle of thesame area it had been nearly a decade prior! Yet, despite the stagnant stockprice, the 2006 estimates Value Line Investment Survey estimates for earningsper share stand around $ 2.16 (a rise of 54%), the cash dividend has more thandoubled to $1.20, book value is expected to have grown to $ 7.40 per share (again of nearly 300%), and the total number of shares outstanding (未偿付的,未完成的)has actually decreased from 2.481billion to an estimated 2.355 billion due to the company's share repurchaseprogram.

Passage Two Questions 21 to25 are based on the following passage: uHO>FM, Today's college students are morenarcissistic (自恋的)and self-centered than theirpredecessors, according to a comprehensive new study by five psychologists whoworry that the trend could be harmful to personal relationships and Americansociety. &qFy$`" “We need to stop endlessly repeating‘You're special' and having children repeat that back,” said the study's leadauthor, Professor Jean Twenge of San Diego State University. “Kids areself-centered enough already.” “Unfortunately, narcissism can also have verynegative consequences for society, including the breakdown of closerelationships with others,” he said. The study asserts that narcissists “aremore likely to have romantic relationships that are short-lived, at risk forinfidelity, lack emotional warmth, and to exhibit game-playing, dishonesty, andover-controlling and violent behaviors.” Twenge, the author of “Generation Me:Why Today's Young Americans Are More Confident, Assertive, Entitled—and MoreMiserable Than Ever Before,” said narcissists tend to lack empathy, reactaggressively to criticism and favor self-promotion over helping others. =I9RM9O< Some analysts have commended today'syoung people for increased commitment to volunteer work. But Twenge viewed eventhis phenomenon skeptically, noting that many high schools require communityservice and many youths feel pressure to list such endeavors on collegeapplications. "PY&N |
