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.

In the 1920s and the 1930s,the short story, as a form, was difficult to sell. Readers found it an awkward compromise between a poem and a longer novel. The long-short story or novella was scarcely known. Certain comic geniuses like P. G. Wodehouse found it easy to reach and keep a vast public with short stories, either alone or in series. And of course there was W. Somerset Maugham. But the less accomplished writers found the market dwindling even further.
Since 1945, the entire literary picture has changed. Fiction of ail kinds, but above all the short story, has become more and more uneconomic to publish. Many magazines have gone out of business. As a type, the "man of letters", puffing a pipe, has almost vanished, to be replaced by the university lecturer or the television scriptwriter. The public is not attracted by imaginary plots in books but prefers the actual, the real story of real people. For those who do not read at all, television provides an enticing alternative.
Such a decline is in many ways a sad one because the old-time short story had a human quality about it which is now eroded. Yet, in an odd way, in our chaotic electronic age, the short story still has a prospect of living. It has been discovered by film scriptwriters that the form. of the short story provides a useful structure for television; it readily provides the basis for a one-hour programme.
The best title for this passage is ______.
A．The Short Story and Television
B．The Short Story and the Public
C．The Short Story: Past and Present
D．The Short Story: Form. and Content
