资料：The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray.The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio,s performance frequently too temping.This means investers are likely to perceive mere risk,forgetting about their key term goals.

本题考查推理判断。
【关键词】investors; tend to
【主题句】The daily changes of the market can lead investors astray.市场每日的变化会导致投资者误入歧途。The ups and downs make the tendency to look at the portfolio’s performance frequently too temping. This means investors are likely to perceive mere risk, forgetting about their key term goals. 起起落落使得看待投资组合表现的趋势往往过于激烈。这意味着投资者很可能会认识到风险，忘记他们的关键目标。
【解析】本题问的是“根据这篇文章，投资者可能会____________?”。文章在开头提到市场每日的变化会导致投资者误入歧途，然后根据这一点展开描述并举出示例。选项A意为“关注眼前的收益和损失”；选项B意为“被风险所吸引，而不是长期目标”；选项C意为“被市场每日的变化误导”；选项D意为“对市场的起伏感到担忧”。结合主题句，故C选项正确。
Two years ago,Rupert Murdoch’s daughter,Elisabeth,spoke of the“unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions”.Integrity had collapsed,she argued,because of a collective acceptance that the only"sorting mechanism"in society should be profit and the market.But"it's us,human beings,we the people who create the society we want,not profit".
Driving her point home,she continued:“It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose,of a moral language within government,media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.”This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International,she thought,making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.
As the hacking trial concludes-finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World,Andy Coulson,for conspiring to hack phones,and finding his predecessor,Rebekah Brooks,innocent of the same charge-the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands.Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people.This is hacking on an industrial scale,as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire,the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking.Others await trial.This saga still unfolds.
In many respects,the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom,how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.The core of her successful defense was that she knew nothing.
In today’s world,it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run.Perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation,the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency,flexibility,shareholder value,business-friendly,wealth generation,sales,impact and,in newspapers,circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice,fairness,tolerance,proportionality and accountability.
The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding,to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.Ms.Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories,but she asked no questions,gave no instructions-nor received traceable,recorded answers.
Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?（ ）
