During the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.

Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country’s economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption around the country.

Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural (惠农) policies, including increasing spending on public health-care and cutting down the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help.

Xing said he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts (救济) to their citizens. As for in China, ‘We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor,’ said Xing.

Although Xing’s suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. ‘To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,’ said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.

1.Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because _____.

A. the poor should get help from the rich

B. the government should help the rich

C. the growing economic pie should be shared among the people

D. the government doesn’t know how to use the money

2.What has the government done to help the lower-income group?

A. Spending less on public health care.

B. Increasing the agricultural tax.

C. Handing out money to every Chinese.

D. Carrying out pro-poor and pro-rural policies.

3.Xing Pu’s ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from ______.

A. children receiving red packets from their families

B. the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizens

C. the government’s increasing spending on public health care

D. the rising prices in the country

4.According to Qiao Xinsheng, what is better than giving out money?

A. Cutting the price of energy use in daily life.

B. Supplying food to everyone every day.

C. Controlling the rising of prices.

D. Increasing the government income.

Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.

Josie from New York, USA

“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”

Todd from California, USA

“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football!”

Ian from Saskatoon, Canada

In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the 2nd Monday in October. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to them during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I’m going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food!

Katie from Maritimes, Canada

On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy. Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents’ houses. The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing-up is done by me and my cousins. And that’s not an easy job! But I don’t mind because Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to give thanks.
