The crisis has seriously affected
In a time of financial crisis, people usually respond by saving money. They are uncertain about the future and are afraid that more difficult times may be ahead. Now many people are choosing not to spend money carelessly. Major chain stores have seen a sharp slowdown in sales, analysts say.
But spending keeps an economy healthy. If people don't spend, there will be too many products in the markets. Then shops will stop buying products from factories. When factories receive no orders, they close down. The workers there accordingly lose their jobs. Also, if people don't spend, the service industry suffers. The total result is that the whole economy breaks down.
Issuing coupons is a practical and effective way to increase domestic demand in the current situation, said Jiang Zengwei, vice-minister of
However, issuing coupons is only a temporary measure. To increase consumers' confidence, the government needs to establish a sound secure social system in the long term. When people don't have to worry about education, health care and their pension, they will be more willing to spend instead of saving.
41. Why does the government issue coupons?
A. To avoid financial crisis.
B. To expand market need at home.
C. To save money.
D. To help citizens enjoy themselves.
42. The underlined phrase “follow their lead” means “___________”.
A. be the leader or head
B. encourage others by doing something first
C. do as somebody else has done
D. go straight forward
43. These factors contrite to consumers’ hesitation to spend their money in the current situation EXCEPT__________.
A. their salary not high enough
B. their worry about education, healthcare and pension
C. their uncertainty about their future

The show is being held in the capital between October 10 and November 27. Then it will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.
“It is such a good opportunity to see the masters’ works up close,” said Feng Jiajia, a Senior student form the High School Affiliated to the
Worth a total of US $600 million, the paintings ate by French Impressionist masters, including Monet, Cezanne, Renoir and Degas.
As an art style, Impressionism was developed in
Often painting outside, rather than in a studio, the artists observed nature more directly and tried to capture individual moments in time especially the changing light of the sun. They avoided black and earth color1s and as a result their work is often very bright and can also look like that it is shining.
When they first appeared, the artists were criticized for not finishing their paintings and for being lazy. Critics said the Impressionists were satisfied with just a few inexact brushstrokes (笔画)instead of completing a real painting. It was an art critic who first used the term “Impressionist” in a review of Monet’s work “Impression, Sunrise”(1873) to satirize(讽刺) his loose, inexact manner of painting.
“Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love,” said Monet.
Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism. He painted sunlit rivers and gardens with forceful brushstrokes and bright color1s, in which objects lose their shape in the light. Monet’s painting reached its height in his later life with his paintings of water lilies.
44. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Monet is the leading figure in the creation of Impressionism.
B. The show of fifty-one Impressionists’ paintings will move on to Shanghai and Hong Kong.

A. We can see other French art works at
B. People can buy French Impressionist masters’ paintings at
C. Beijing is the first place where the Impressionists’ paintings are on display.
D. Monet’s most expensive works are the paintings of water lilies.
46. Which of the following is likely to be an Impressionist’s painting?
A. Portrait of God. B. A girl with a vase.
C. Thunder and lightening. D. Beautiful lake in the sunshine.
47. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Most of the paintings by the Impressionists were finished in a hurry or unfinished.
B. People didn’t like the Impressionists’ paintings when they came into being.
C. The Impressionists painted a scene after just a quick look at it.

WHEN an NBA player is young he thinks he can win the championship by himself. It is only later when he has aged and been through many battles that he learns an important lesson: there is no "I" in "team".
There is no better example of the value of teamwork than the Boston Celtics. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett were all superstars on three different teams. Yet, none of them had any titles to show for it. Then, last season, they decided to sacrifice money and individual statistics to play together. Garnett and Allen joined Pierce on the Celtics and changed the NBA in the process.
It started in simple ways. Garnett and Allen are two of the most intense athletes in the world. They treat every second of every practice like it is the NBA championship. If you want to play alongside them then you will have to do the same. So, the young guys on the Celtics started giving their full effort too.
Pierce had been the star of the Celtics for many years. He used to shoot the ball many times a game. But with the addition of Allen and Garnett he shot less and focused on defense. His selflessness showed the young players that doing what made the team better was the only thing that mattered.
When the Celtics were winning and the game was almost over, Garnett, Pierce and Allen would come out of the game. But they wouldn’t just sit on the bench. Instead, they stood and cheered and screamed for their teammates. They wanted to support their friends and teammates.
Now, the guys who don't play know they can still affect the game by cheering so they scream and cheer when Garnett, Allen and Pierce are playing. The Celtics have developed a strong relationship. They are more than just teammates. They are brothers.
The result: the Boston Celtics won the 2008 NBA championship and are considered the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship again this year.

52. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The stories of three famous basketball superstars.
B. The importance of teamwork among teammates.

B. Pierce, Garnett and Allen had to give up personal glory for team success
C. Allen, Pierce, together with Garnett had been the stars of the Celtics for many years
D. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett had won NBA championships before they joined hands.

A. "I" will be missing once "I" am on the court.
B. "I" work so hard in a team that "I" will forget who "I" am.

Dear Mike,
Thanks for your letter. Here’s my advice on how to make friends with others.
Firstly, smile and be friendly. You can make a friend by being nice and friendly. Remember to smile when you walk by people. A smile can warm up others.
Secondly, expand your social circle. Join a school club or a club outside school. Try something you've never done before. Be !
Most important of all is to listen and ask questions. Other people like to know they're being heard and that their ideas are appreciated. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they have to say and thus you get to know what kind of people they are. In this way, you’ll make friends with them.
Best wishes.
