【
F1
】
We're
moving;
into
another
era,
as
the
toxic
effects
of
the
bubble
and
its
grave
consequences
spread through the financial system.
Just a couple of years ago investors dreamed of 20
percent
returns
forever.
Now
surveys
show
that
they're
down
to
a
8
percent
to
10
percent
range.
But what if the next few years turn out
to be below normal expectations? Martin Barners of
the
Bank
Credit
Analyst
in
Montreal
expects
future
stock
returns
to
average
just
4
percent
to
6
percent.
Sound
im
possible?
【
F2
】
After
a
much
smaller
bubble
that
burst
in
the
mid-1960s
Standard
&
Poor's
5 000 stock average returned 6.9
percent a year(with dividends reinvested)for the
following 17
years. Few investors are
prepared for that. Right now denial seems to be
the attitude of
choice.
typic
al,
says
Lori
Lucas
of
Hewitt,
the
consulting
firm.
You
hate
to
look
at
your
investments when
they're going down. Hewitt tracks 500,000
401(k)accounts every day, and finds
that savers are keeping their
contributions up. But they're much less inclined
to switch their
money
around.
the
slot-machine
effect,
Lucas
says,
get
more
interested
in
playing
when
they think they've got a hot
machine
—
and nothing's hot
today. The average investor feels
overw
helmed.
【
F3
】
Against all common sense, many savers still
shut their eyes to the dangers
of
owning
too
much
company
stock.
In
big
companies
last
year,
a
surprising
29
percent
of
employees
held at least
three quarters of their 402(k)in their own stock.
Younger employees may have no
choice.
You often have to wait until you're 50 or 55
before you can sell any company stock you
get
as
a
matching
contribution.
【
F4
】
But
instead
of
getting
out
when
they
can,
old
participants
have been
holding, too. One third of the people 60 and up
chose company stock for three quarters
of their plan, Hewitt reports. Are they
inattentive? Loyal to a fault? Sick? It's as if
Lucent,
Enron and
Xerox
never happened. No investor
should
give
his
or her total
trust to
any
particular
company's stock. And while
you're at it, think how you'd be if future stock
returns
—
averaging
good
years
and
bad
—
are
as
poor
as
Barnes
predicts.
【
F5
】
If
you
ask
me,
diversified
stocks
remain
good for the long
run, with a backup in bonds. But I, too, am
figuring on reduced returns. What
a
shame. Dear bubble, I'll never forget. It's the
end of a grand affair.

正确答案：如果你问我，我认为多样股加上债券的支持可以长远地保持稳定
。
)
解析：
Many signs point to a growing
historical consciousness among the American
people. I trust that
this
is
so.
It
is
useful
to
remember
that
history
is
to
the
nation
as
memory
is
to
the
individual.
【<
/p>
F1
】
As persons
deprived of memory become disoriented and lost,
not knowing where they have
been and
where they are going, so a nation denied a
conception of the past will be disabled in
dealing
with
its
present
and
its
future.
longer
you
look
back,
said
Winston
Churchill,
farther
you
can
look
forward.
Conceptions
of
the
past
are
far
from
stable.
They
are
continuously
revised
by
the
urgencies
of
the
present.
【
F2
】
When
new
urgencies
arise
in
our
own
times
and
lives,
the
historian
'
s
spotlight
shifts,
probing
at
last
into
the
darkness,
throwing
into
sharp
relief
things
that
were
always
there
but
that
earlier
historians
had
carelessly
erased
from
the
collective
memory. New
voices ring out of the historical dark and demand
to be heard.
【
F3
】<
/p>
One has only
to note how in
the last half-century the movements for women's
rights and civil rights have
reformulated
and
renewed
American
history.
Thus
the
present
endlessly
reinvents
the
past.
In
this
sense, all history, as Benedetto Croce
said, is contemporary history. It is these
adjustments
of consciousness that make
history so endlessly fascinating an intellectual
adventure.
duty
we
owe
to
history,
said
Oscar
Wilde,
to
rewrite
it.
【
F4
】
We
are
the
world's
dominant
military
power,
and
I
believe
a
consciousness
of
history
is
a
moral
necessity
for
a
nation
possessed
of overwhelming
power. History verifies John F. Kennedy's
proposition, stated in the first year
of
his
thousand
days:
must
face
the
fact
—
that
we
are
only
6
percent
of
the
world'
s
population;
that we cannot
impose our will upon the other 94 percent of
mankind; that we cannot right every
wrong
or
reverse
each
adversity;
and
therefore
there
cannot
be
an
American
solution
to
every
world
problem.
History
is
the
best
cure
for
illusion
.
【
F5
】
Self-knowledge
is
the
indispensable
beginning
of self-control,
for
the nation
as
well as for the
individual,
and
history
should
forever
remind
us
of
the
limits
of
our
passing
perspectives.
History
is
a
doomed
enterprise
that
we
happily
pursue
because of the thrill of the hunt,
because exploring the past is such fun, because of
the
intellectual challenges involved,
because a nation needs to know its own history. Or
so we
historians insist. Because in the
end, a nation's history must be both the guide and
the domain
not so much of its
historians as its citizens.
