The General Electric Company, often criticized for the complexity of its structure and the resulting opacity of its numbers, said yesterday that it would break GE Capital, by far its largest business, into four businesses. The reorganization effectively eliminates the job of Denis J. Nayden, 48, the chairman of GE Capital. Each of the new units will have its own chief, who Will report directly to Jeffrey R. Immelt, G. E.'s chairman. "The reason for doing this is simple. I want more direct contact with the financial services teams," Mr. Immelt said.
The new businesses are GE Commercial Finance, GE Insurance, SE Consumer Finance and GE Equipment Management. Some support functions within GE Capital, including risk management and treasury, will now report to Dennis Dammerman, 57, a G. E. vice chairman who preceded Mr. Nayden as GE Capital's chlef. Mr, Nayden will remain at G. E. as an adviser for now, but is expected to leave shortly to start a financial services firm.
Mr. Dammerman insisted that the reorganization had nothing to do with the increasing clamor from investors, regulators and the news media for greater transparency in accounting and for chief executives to take more responsibility for businesses: Analysts seem to believe him. "This is just what it appears to be, a managerial, reorganization which gives leaders more direct access to the office of the chairman," said Martin A. Sankey, a G. E. analyst.
The executives leading the new units will also sit on G.. E. 's corporate executive council, a committee made up of the company's top 25 executives, which meets periodically and discusses various strategic and management issues.
GE Capital, the company's largest nit, provided $55 billion of G. E. 's $124 billion in revenue last year and $ 5.6 billion of its $19.7 billion in pretax profits. The rest of G. E. had been divided into 11 other businesses, many of them--lighting and appliances are examples-much smaller than the new GE Capital units, yet each run by someone who reports directly to the chairman. Mr. Dammermn said that Mr. Immelt began talking about breaking GE Capital into more manageable pieces as soon as he took over as chief executive last September. "Jeff didn't like the extra layer between him and the GE Capital businesses,"
G. E. has tried to make GE Capital less mysterious to 'the outside world. Although GE Capital was officially one unit, it had begun to report quarterly results in live product-related segments--a number that will be reduced to four with the new organization. And analysts say GE Capital's management has been more accessible than it was in past years, and that Mr. Immelt and other G. E. corporate executives have been willing to discuss GE Capital in more depth.

A) six businesses B) sixteen businesses

參考答案
57.文章第五段提到“the rest of G.E，had been divided into 11 other businesses”，也就是除 GE Capital之外共有11家公司。文章第一段指出GE Capital將被分成4家公司。因此，調整結構以后，GE共有15家公司。答案為D項。
58.第二段第二句指出Dennis Dammerman是GE的副總裁，曾在Nayden之前做過GE Capital的主席。因此，選項A和C都排除。第三段中，Dammerman否認GE的結構調整和外界的壓力有關，因此選項D說結構調整是GE自己的主動性舉措符合原文意思，可排除。而第二段的`最后一句中明確陳述即將離開GE的是Nayden，故答案為B項。
59.根據文章第一段中的“The reorganization effectively eliminates the job of Denis J. Nayden，48，the chairman of GE Capital.”可知正確答案為A項。
60.第三段的最后一句“This is just what it appears to be，a managerial reorganization which gives leaders more direct access to the office of the chairman”文章最后一段提到調整結果時再次出現了這一信息，即“And analysts say GE Capital's management has been more accessible than it was in past years”，因此，答案為C項。
61.此題是關于GE Capital的細節信息題。文章第五段第一句“GE Capital，the company's largest nit，provided $55 billion of G.E.'s $124 billion in revenue last year and $5.6 billion of its $19.7 billion in pretax profits.”提到去年GE Capital收入550億美金占GE總收入1240億的三分之一多。因此，正確答案為B項。
