The spread of worsening international financial crisis has seriously affected world economic growth and stability. The ongoing financial crisis is rarely seen in history. Countries and organizations have taken measures in response, and we hope these measures will produce good results soon. Countries in Asia and Europe are an important force for international financial stability and world economic growth. I suggest that we make greater efforts in the following aspects:

First, countries should run their own affairs well. In the face of the crisis, it is important for leaders to act in the fundamental and long-term interests of the people and use necessary monetary and regulatory tools to regain market confidence as soon as possible and maintain economic growth.

Second, set up coordination(调和) and cooperation among governments. The financial departments, central banks and financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis and study its trend and impact.

Third, strengthen regional financial dialogue and cooperation. Members of the Eurozone have reached agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. We in Asia are also exploring the possibility of expanding the size of bilateral（双边的）currency swap( 互惠外汇信贷)arrangements under the 10+3 framework .

Fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. The present crisis has exposed the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. It is important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations; second, expand the space of the regulation of the international financial system, and third, establish a reasonable global financial rescue mechanism（机制）.

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.

A crisis is on the way. Global warming? The world economy? No, the decline of reading. People are just not doing it anymore, especially the young. Who’s responsible? What is responsible? The Internet, of course, and everything that comes with it—Facebook, Twitter, etc.

There’s been a warning about the coming death of literate civilization for a long time. In the 20th century, first it was the movies, then radio, then television that seemed to end the written world. None did. Reading survived; In fact, it not only survived, but it has developed better. The world is more literate than ever before — there are more and more readers and more and more books.

The fact that we often get our reading material online today is not something we should worry over. The electronic and digital revolution of the last two decades has arguably shown the way forward for reading and for writing. Interconnectivity allows for the possibility of a reading experience that was barely imaginable before. Where traditional books had to make do with photographs and illustrations(插图), an e-book can provide readers with an unlimited number of links：to texts, pictures, and videos.

On the other hand, there is the danger of trivialization(碎片化).One Twitter group is offering its followers single-sentence-long“digests”of the great novels. War and Peace in a sentence? You must be joking. We should fear the fragmentation(碎片)of reading. There is the danger that the high-speed connectivity of the Internet will reduce our attention span(时间)—that we will be incapable of reading anything of length or which requires deep concentration.

In such a fast-changing world, in which reality seems to be remade each day, we need the ability to focus and understand what is happening to us. This has always been the function of literature and we should be careful not to let it disappear. Our society needs to be able to imagine the possibility of someone entirely in pace with modern technology but able to make sense of a dynamic, confusing world.

1.In Paragraph 2,we can learn 　　　　　　　 .

A. the disappearance of traditional books

B. the development of human civilization

C. the historical challenges for reading

D. the birth of pioneering e-books

2.According to the passage, the advantage of e-books is　　　　　　　 .

A. 1imited link

B. imaginative design

C. low cost

D. varied contents

3.How does the author feel towards single-sentence-long novels?

A. Doubtful　　 B. Worried

C. Shocked　　 D. Hopeful

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Technology is an opportunity and a challenge for traditional reading.

B. Technology pushes the way forward for reading and writing.

C. Interconnectivity is a feature of new reading experience.

D. Technology offers a greater variety of reading practice.
