  We discuss an improved theoretical description of the semi-inclusive B meson
decays $B\to K(K^*)X$. The decay distributions are calculated. Their branching
ratios are found to be appreciable. The CP asymmetries in the neutral B modes
$\bar{B^0}\to K^-(K^{*-})X$ are sizable. An observation of direct CP violation
and a measurement of $\gamma$ may come from these neutral B modes.
