SINGAPORE—It seems the financial crisis isn’t all hopeless: one in four people are glad the world’s economy turned down like it did, because it helped them realize more in life, according to a global survey.

Market research firm Synovate surveyed around 11400 people across the world and found more than half had permanently changed their attitudes toward money over the last 12 months. Another 47 percent, however, said they were looking forward to being able to spend freely again.

“The psychology of global depression has changed the way many people do things,” Jenny Chang, managing director in Taiwan (China), said in a statement. “They are making life-changing decisions based on the current global depression, such as postponing marriage, having children, moving house, changing jobs or pursuing higher education. Even in a relatively effect-free economy like Taiwan’s.”

A quarter of all respondents led by Malaysians said they were glad the world had an economic crisis as it has helped them realize what’s really important in their lives.

Nearly 60 percent said they would try their best to control their spending so that it doesn’t go back to what it used to be before the downturn, and over two-thirds are more interested in increasing their savings than reducing their debt.

The majority of respondents—over 80 percent—believed their generation had a responsibility to leave their country better off for the younger generation, even if it involved dramatically changing their lifestyles.

With the relatively high unemployment in the US, Synovate’s US-based Claire Peerson Braverman said, Americans who had lost one or more incomes in the family, had to make some of the most difficult decisions concerning money each day.

1.What information did Market research firm Synovate want to get by making the survey?

A. The effects of global depression on people’s money and life attitudes.

B. The loss people suffered in the global depression.

C. The number of people who like global depression.

D. The influence of economical crisis on the US.

2.What can be inferred from the article?

A. The global depression had no effects on economy in Taiwan of China at all.

B. Global depression led some people to give up their higher education.

C. More people will spend their money more carefully after the global depression.

D. Some people felt glad about the global depression for the benefits it brought them.

3.What does the underlined world “it” in the fifth paragraph refer to?

A. Habit of spending money.         B. Global depression.

C. Responsibility for the country.      D. Attitude towards life.

4.What is the theme of this article?

A. The economic crisis made more people try to save more money.

B. The situation of unemployment in the US became more serious.

C. Lots of people put off some important events in their life for the economic crisis.

D. Economic crisis helped people change their ideas about money and life.

There are many places to go on safari in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.

Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.

The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.

In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.

Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.

1.What does the underlined word “They” (in Para 2) refer to?

A. Flooded waters　　 B. Wildlife journey

C. Unique rides　　　　 D. Safari camps

2.What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?

A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.

B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.

C. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.

D. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.

3.What does the underlined word “sedate”(in Para 4) probably mean?

A. Slow and peaceful　　　　 B. Wild and romantic

C. Hurry and thirsty　　　　 D. Active and excited

4.The author introduced the riding experience in the Okavango Delta mainly by ___.

A. following space order　　　 B. making classifications
