    Randolph Chemical announced earlier today the selection of Michelle Brown as its new chief executive officer. Willard Strong, Chairman of the Board of Randolph Chemical, said, "We are delighted to have found someone of Michelle’s caliber to lead our organization."
    Michelle Brown brings to the table a reputation as a strict cost cutter. Prior to joining Randolph, Dr. Brown was CEO of Popovich Materials, where she reduced expenses by almost a third in her four-year tenure. Dr. Brown has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wyler College and a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Porter University.
    Industry analysts remain skeptical that she can turn around the company’s ailing fortunes. After her selection was announced, company stock dropped 1.2 percent in one afternoon.
    Randolph Chemical is a global technology-based company that manufactures and distributes plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products. Their search, which took eleven months, was conducted with the aid of Darren Consulting.
Memorandum from: Michelle Brown
TO: All Randolph Chemical employees
    As you have probably heard, I will be assuming responsibility for leading Randolph Chemical effective Monday morning.  I want to take a moment to reaffirm the commitment of Randolph Chemical and of myself as its new head to treating every single employee with the fairness and dignity that he or she deserves.
    In the months to come I will be initiating steps to sell off those portions of our business in which we do not have the potential to become industry leaders, leaving us to focus on what we do best.  Due to time constraints, we will not be commissioning a new study of all of our holdings. Instead, we will base decisions on current in-house performance figures derived from our ongoing review process.
This is the beginning of a long journey for all of us, one I am proud to say we will make together.  I hope to meet as many of you as possible personally, and I urge you to become fully engaged in the process and to contribute your own ideas. [br] Why is Dr. Brown not planning a new study of all of Randolph Chemical holdings?
选项 A、It would be very expensive.
B、It would take too much time.
C、There are not enough employees available to help.
D、Darren Consulting has already completed the study.
答案 B
解析 holdings意思是“资产”，在文中指“公司持有的资产”。在公文的第二段第二句中写到Due to…constraints“困为时间限制”，所以选(B)。(A)expensive指“昂贵的”，公文未涉及。(C)available to help是“能帮忙的，能提供帮助的”，原文未提及。(D)Darten顾问公司是在新闻报道中协助选出CEO人选的公司，文中并未提及其是否进行过关于该公司资产的调查。
