Society was fascinated by science and things scientific in the nineteenth century. Great breakthroughs in engineering, the use of steam power, and electricity were there for all to see, enjoy, and suffer. Science was fashionable and it is not surprising that, daring this great period of industrial development, scientific methods should be applied to the activities of man, particularly to those involved in the processes of production. Towards the end of the nineteenth century international competition began to make itself felt. The three industrial giants of the day, Germany, America, and Great Britain, began to find that there was a limit to the purchasing power of the previously apparently inexhaustible markets. Science and competition therefore provided the means and the need to improve industrial efficiency.
Frederick Winslow Taylor is generally acknowledged as being the father of the scientific management approach, as a result of the publication of his book, The Principles of Scientific Management, published in 1911. However, numerous other academics and practitioners(实践者) had been actively applying such approaches since the beginning of the century. Charles Babbage, an English academic, well-known for his invention of the mechanical computer(with the aid of a government grant as long as 1820), applied himself to the costing of processes, using scientific methods, and indeed might well be recognized as one of the fathers of cost accounting.
Taylor was of well-to-do background and received an excellent education but, partly owing to troubles with his eyesight, decided to become an engineering apprentice. He spent some twenty-five years in the tough, sometimes brutal, environment of the US steel industry and carefully studied methods of work when he eventually attained supervisory status. He made various significant innovations in the area of steel processing, but his claim to fame is through his application of methods of science to methods of work, and his personal efforts that proved they could succeed in a hostile environment.
In 1901, Taylor left the steel industry and spent the rest of his life trying to promote the principles of managing scientifically and emphasizing the human aspects of the method, over the slave-driving methods common in his day. He died in 1915, leaving a huge school of followers to promote his approach worldwide.
According to the passage, what was badly needed to improve industrial efficiency?
A.Great breakthroughs.
B.Unlimited purchasing power.
C.Science and competition.
D.International competition.

On a cold and rainy day last February, Bruce Alberts wore a grim expression as he stepped up to the microphones to make his statement at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.1. The final results of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) had just been released, and America's high school seniors had placed near the back of tile pack.
"There is no excuse for this, "President Bill Clinton had already chided." These results are, entirely unacceptable, "admonished the secretary of education. The head of the National Education Association declared U.S. schools to be in a state of crisis. And now Alberts, president of the National Academy of Sciences, said that he, too, saw in this report "all the elements of an education tragedy."
"Americans have always risen to a crisis," he added. "We see clearly that the future is threatened. 2. Let us act now to heed this important wake-up call." And so, with editorial writers and educators across the country obligingly sounding the alarm, American education lurched yet again into crisis mode.
It is a cyclical ritual, repeated in every decade since the 1940s, observes Gregory William of the University of Toledo. 3. The launch of Sputnik in 1957 set off an orgy of anxiety culminating in Admiral Hyman Rickover's 1963 book American Education, A National Failure, in which he famously predicted that "the Russians will bury us" thanks to their more rigorous science and math courses. 4. Beginning with the 1983 publication of A Nation at Risk, one blue-ribbon panel after another warned that massive educational failure had ceded the United State's technological lead to Japan and other competitors—a conclusion that proved premature.
5. Although the particulars vary from one education crisis to the next, the episodes are connected by common threads. Each has surged into public discourse on an unrelenting torrent of angst flowing from the educational research profession, William says. Combing through the education literature of the past 30 years, he recently turned up more than 4,000 articles and books in which scholars declared some sort of crisis in the schools—but rarely bothered to spell out what cataclysm was imminent. Each episode has also eaten away at public confidence in schools, which fell 38 percent from 1973 to 1996, according to surveys by the National Opinion Research Center.

The modern multinational corporation is described as having originated when the owner-managersof nineteenth-century British firms carrying on international trade were replaced by teams ofsalaried managers organized into hierarchies. Increases in the volume of transactions in such firmsare commonly believed to have necessitated this structural change. Nineteenth-century inventionslike the steamship and the telegraph, by facilitating coordination of managerial activities, aredescribed as key factors. Sixteenth-and seventeenth-century chartered trading companies, despitethe international scope of their activities, are usually considered irrelevant to this discussion: thevolume of their transactions is assumed to have been too low and the communications andtransport of their day too primitive to make comparisons with modern multinationals interesting.
In reality, however, early trading companies successfully purchased and outfitted ships, built andoperated offices and warehouses, manufactured trade goods for use abroad, maintained tradingposts and production facilities overseas, procured goods for import, and sold those goods both athome and in other countries. The large volume of transactions associated with these activitiesseems to have necessitated hierarchical management structures well before the advent of moderncommunications and transportation. For example, in the Hudson’s Bay Company, each far-flungtrading outpost was managed by a salaried agent, who carried out the trade with the NativeAmericans, managed day-to-day operations, and oversaw the post’s workers and servants. Onechief agent, answerable to the Court of Directors in London through the correspondencecommittee, was appointed with control over all of the agents on the bay.
The early trading companies did differ strikingly from modern multinationals in many respects.They depended heavily on the national governments of their home countries and thuscharacteristically acted abroad to promote national interests. Their top managers were typicallyowners with a substantial minority share, whereas senior managers’ holdings in modernmultinationals are usually insignificant. They operated in a pre-industrial world, grafting a systemof capitalist international trade onto a pre-modern system of artisan and peasant production.Despite these differences, however, early trading companies organized effectively in remarkablymodern ways and merit further study as analogues of more modern structures.
The author’s main point is that______
A.modern multinationals originated in the sixtenth and seventeenth centuries with the establishment of chartered trading companies
B.the success of early chartered trading companies, like that of modern multinationals, depended primarily on their ability to carry out complex opertions
C.early chartered trading companies should be more seriously considered by scholars studying the origins of modern multinationals
D.scholars are quite mistaken concerning the origins of modern multinationals
E.the management structures of early chartered trading companies are fundamentally the same as those of modern multinationals
