 The development of the sport of skateboarding can be traced backed to the early 1890s, when children in

increased and manufacturers began producing the first factory-made boards. By the 1960s, the sport had
gained an ( 1. impress) following, not just in the USA, but ( 2. world).
However, by 1965, concerns about ( 3. safe) resulted in regulations being introduced to ban skateboarding
in most public places in the USA. This ( 4. effect) killed the sport there for the next decade.

meant that manufaturers could ( 8. strong) the boards but at the same time make them lighter and more

When a founder divorces, it can affect firms and shareholders in several
ways. Most (2) ___________ changes arein corporate control. In the CONSEQUENCE

Wynn, was challenged for control by his former wife, Elaine, after a

Washington, where the couple mainly lives, Ms. Bezos is (4)
ENTILEMENT
___________ to half of her husband’s $137bn fortune (if the divorce is
filed elsewhere, her share may be lower.) Critically, Mr. Bezos owns a
smaller proportion of his firm than other tech founders: whereas Mark
Zuckerberg, for example, controls 51.3% of Facebook’s voting rights
through a dual-class structure, Mr. Bezos controls only about 16% of
Amazon and has no special voting rights.
The divorce could weaken his hand in two ways. His stake could be cut
to 8% (though Ms. Bezos may accept some cash or put her shares in a
trust), (5) ___________the balance of power with the largest CHANGEABLE
institutional investors –Vanguard has a 6% stake, for example. And she
may demand a board seat. It is (6) ___________ that she might then

rises for workers, say, that hurt profits (Amazon is already under
pressure in this regard).
To reassure shareholders,(7) ___________ William Klepper of RECKONING
Columbia Business School, author of “The CEO’s Boss”, Amazon’s
board must now hold discussions with Mr. Bezos about how any share
transfer will take place and (8) ___________relevant points to COMMUNICATOR
shareholders. The board will need to be vigilant on other fronts, too,
says David Larcker of Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Executives going through a divorce often get (9) ___________, which DISTRACT
explains why a company spokesman insisted this week that “Jeff
remains focused”. Studies have also shown that a big reduction in
wealth through divorce can lead a boss to make more aggressive
corporate bets in the hope of clawing backriches. Some boards have
even awarded CEOS extra pay to tamp down such behavior.
Mr. Bezos’ best defensemay not be legal maneuvering, but continuing

by 33% over the last year, and by over 2,000% over the past decade. A
