History as the artificial extension of the social memory (and I willingly concede that there are other appropriate ways of apprehending human experience) is an art of long standing, necessarily so since it springs instinctively from the impulse to enlarge the range of immediate experience; and however camouflaged by the disfiguring jargon of science, it is still in essence what it has always been. History in this sense is story, in aim always a true story; a story that employs all the devices of literary art (statement and generalization, narration and description, comparison and comment and analogy) to present the succession of events in the life of man, and from the succession of events thus presented to derive a satisfactory meaning. The history written by historians, like the history informally fashioned by Mr. Everyman, is thus a convenient blend of truth and fancy, of what we commonly distinguish as "fact" and "interpretation". In primitive times, when tradition is orally transmitted, bards and story-tellers frankly embroider or improvise the facts to heighten the dramatic import of the story. With the use of written records, history, gradually occurred; and with the increase and refinement of knowledge the historian recognized that his first duty is to be sure of his facts, let their meaning be what it may. Nevertheless, in every age history is taken to be a story of actual events from which a significant meaning may be derived; and in every age the illusion is that the present version is valid because the related facts are true, whereas former version are invalid because based upon inaccurate or inadequate facts.

Bangkok
Dear Ms. Veratanavanit,
I am writing to thank you for authorizing Mr. Shinawakra of your staff to arrange a very fruitful visit by fifteen graduate students and faculty from the Bangkok Business University to the Diwikar Oil and Gas Corporation. Mr. Shinawakra planned a very interesting round-table discussion in the morning with several of your senior executives responsible for strategy implementation, concentrating in particular upon consumer behavior, cost dynamics, and corporate social responsibility—some of my students' particular areas of interest.
After eating lunch with the group, Mr. Shinawakra presented a very professional summary of career opportunities in corporate Thailand, especially at Diwikar Corporation. As a former executive of Diwikar, I was pleased that he did such an excellent job representing the company. We were all extremely impressed by his professional demeanor and the attention he gave to many details of the visit.
Very truly yours,
Thaksin Panupong

Business and Social Responsibility
Today more and more people believe that business should play an active role in improving society and solving social problems. For example, we expect that businesses will take care not to pollute the air we breathe or the water we drink. We also expect them to offer fair wages and employee benefits and to provide a satisfactory product or service at a reasonable price. Many companies recognize this and have stated publicly that they will act as a good citizen. They support local arts, build parks, raise funds for charities, and try to put back some of their profits into the community that has made their success possible.
A good reason for businesses to be socially responsible is that society gives business organizations the right to exist. A social setting or environment, with its laws, customs, and other social and cultural norms, allows businesses to form. and function. It is only right for businesses to participate in making the community in which they operate a better place.
To be socially responsible also benefits businesses. In many cases, a company will make greater profits in the long run if it considers benefits to society. Customers actually vote for products and companies when they make a purchase. If a product is of good quality and priced fairly, they will probably buy it more than once. But when customers find out that a manufacturer produces only inferior or shoddy products that cheat them out of their money, they may become so angry that they will never purchase another of their products. Consumers may also shun firms that pollute the environment or engage in unethical practices by not buying their products. When enough people believe a business no longer serves society's best interests, they may pressure the firm into its doom by boycotting its goods or services, influencing officials against it, condemning it in the media, or patronizing other firms.
A business whose goal is to maximize profits is not likely to act out of a sense of social responsibility although its activity will probably be legal. Only businesses that are concerned about society as well as about maintaining profitability are likely to invest voluntarily in socially responsible activities. For example, the former president of Pizza Hut, Orr Gunther, implemented a program called "Book-it." This program rewarded children with a free pizza for reading a certain number of books. Such a business may win the trust and respect of its customers andin the long run increase profits.
To be successful, a business must determine what customers and society want or expect in terms of social responsibility. Although .social responsibility may seem an abstract idea, managers consider it on a daily basis as they deal with real issues. A business must monitor changes and needs in society in order to behave in a .socially responsible way.
The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A．doing business
B．social responsibility
C．what customers and society want
D．cultural and social norms
