Part II Reading Comprehension （40 points）
Directions:
In this part there are 4 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements . each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark you choice on the ANSWER SHEEET with a single line through the center.
Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage:
Economists believe that investors are rational, and that stock prices are therefore unpredictable. It sounds peculiar, but the logic is ironclad.
Rational investors would take into account everything they know when buying or selling stock ___ all the information available about where profits, interest rates, technology and so on are going. So stock prices would reflect all available knowledge, and would change only when new information came in. And new information is, by definition, unpredictable, which means that changes in stock prices would be unpredictable, too. But investors, being human, are driven by fear, greed and the madness of crowds.
In principle this should create patterns in stock prices, and in principle you can use those patterns to outperform the market. But while it may be very hard to tell whether the market is overvalued or undervalued, one thing is for sure:
It fluctuates more than it should. That isinstead of rising or falling only when there is real news about future, stocks surge and plunge for no good reason.People sell because other people are selling, or buy because other people are buying. And, as a result, it is more a series of random leaps than a random walk. Tuesday was a case in point. On a slow news day, markets suddenly dived, with the Dow falling by more than 3 percent and the Nastaq by more than 5 without anything happening to change your fundamental view about what is on in the U.S. economy. Why was the market so easily spooked?
Presumably because everyone is even more confused than usual about what stocks are really those days.
On one side, the U.S. economy has been wallowing in good news. Productivity has been soaring, allowing the economy to grow far faster than seemed possible. And with clever new applications of silicon chips coming out every day, it is easy to become exuberant about the future. On the other hand, as any financial theorist could tell you, good news that you already expect to hear I isn't news. Five years ago, a 2 percent annual increase in worker productivity would have been regarded as excellent, and stocks would have risen sharply. Today it would be regarded as a disappointing performance, and would drive stocks down.
So, is it terrific or incredible?
Nobody really knows. And a rational market would accept this ignorance, and waitfor some actual evidence in favor of one side or the other.
Of course, it doesn’t work that way. One Tuesday, something caused investors to become slightly less convinced than they had been the day before that we are living in the best of all possible world. And the result was a huge destruction of paper-virtual- wealth.

A. the U.S. economy soared
B. the U.S. stock price fell sharply
C. people were disappointed about U.S. economy
D. people were not sure about what stocks were really worth
