TEXT A It looked like a typical business meeting. Six men, neatly dressed in white shirts and ties, filed into the boardroom of a small Jakarta company and sat down at a long table. But instead of consulting files or hearing reports, they closed their eyes and began to meditate, consulting the spirits of ancient Javanese kings. Mysticism touches almost every aspect of life in Indonesia and business is no exception. One of the meditators said his weekly meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making. But the insight gained from mystic communication with spirits of wise kings has also helped boost the profits of his five companies. Mysticism and profits have come together since the 13th(上标) century introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants. Those devout traders, called Wali Ullah ’or those close to God,’ energetically spread both trade and religion by adapting their appeals to the native mysticism of Java. Legends attribute magic power of foreknowledge to the Wall Ullah. These powers were believed to be gained through meditation and fasting. Businessman Hadisiko said his group fasts and meditates all night every Thursday to become closer to God and to contact the spirits of the great men of the past. "If we want to employ someone at the managerial level, we meditate together and often the message comes that this man can’t hole onto money or he is untrustworthy. Or maybe the spirits will tell us he should be hired." Hadiziko hastened to add that his companies also hold modem personnel management systems and that formal qualifications are essential for a candidate even to be considered. Perspective investments also are considered through mystic meditation. "With the mind relaxed and open, it is easier to be objective in judging the risk of a new venture. Meditation and contact with the wisdom of the old leaders sharpens your own insight and intuition. Then you have to apply that intuition to the information you have and work hard to be successful." Mystic meditation helped reverse a business slide his companies experienced in the mid-1980. Operating with normal business procedures, he lost more than $ 3 millions in that year alone. Meditation brought back his peace of mind. Putting the right persons in the right jobs and gaining confidence in his business decisions were the keys to a turning around that has brought expansion and profitability. The mysticism in Handspike’s boardroom is part of a growing movement in Indonesia called Kebatinan—the "search for the inner self." One of his managers, Yusuf Soemado, who studied business administration at Harvard University, compared the idea of mystic management to western system of positive thinking. "Willpower and subconscious mind are recognized as important factors in business. Such approaches as psycho-cybernetics, Carnegie’s think and growth rates, or the power of positive thinking are western attempts to tap the same higher intelligence that we contact through meditation," he said. According to the passage, the function of the meditation is ______.

TEXT D One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. Its shrilling clamour(喧闹声)dominates our lives. It shouts at us from the television screens and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; plucks at our sleeves on the escalator; signals to us from the mad-side Billboards all day and flashes messages to us in coloured lights at night. Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war, in terms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrate achievement. Why all this fantastic expenditure Perhaps the answer is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they finish it, by pretending that it gives status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the. manufacturer is in clover (养尊处优). Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is or another, some alteration seems called for how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. Advertisers are appreciated by manufacturers because they ______.

(34) ; the same way, a speaker must supply the links between the utterances and paragraphs to give his listeners a directional signal to indicate (35) is to follow and how it (36) to what is preceded.Since transmitting ideas orally requires attention to the perceived coherence pf speaker’s message, the audience do not have the luxury of going back (37) his points as they do in reading an essay; nor do they have punctuations the help them (38) one idea from another. Hence, speakers use signposts in the form of carefully worded phrases and sentences to help listeners (39) the movement of ideas within a speech and perceive the overall message structure. Summaries are (40) signposts in ensuring that listeners are able to see the overall structure: preliminary and final summaries are especially helpful in laying our or pulling together the major divisions of the speech. 39（）
