On the wall in my mother’s bedroom there was a photo, which showed a soldier with a gun.

Below the photo there was the word ”Speaking”.

   “Who’s that soldier called Speaking?” I asked one day.

   “He was Harold.” She said, ‘He was my only brother. When the Second War began, Harold was eighteen. I was twelve then, and my sisters were ten and nine.”

   “Harold liked to play with us, and we often quarreled. When we quarreled, we said, ‘We’re not speaking to you.’ But before long we were all happy again, and then we said, ‘I’m speaking now. Are you speaking to me?’”

“When the war broke out, Harold joined the army. A month later, he came to see us. He brought the gun to show us. Then he went miles away to the war. We didn’t see him for three years, three long, empty years. We didn’t often hear from him. But one day in May there was a loud bang on the front door.”

“I ran to open it, it was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold, too. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word “Speaking’”.

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.

62. 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.

63. 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.

64. 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.

65. 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.

Major Cities Take Steps to Protect Water Resources

Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.

Beijing will stick more strictly to water-saving policies through the readjustment of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1.185 billion cubic meters of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption and pollution including electric power, steel and paper manufacturing equipments. Advanced water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.

Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other “highly efficient” agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.

It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city’s water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to 28-30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation of its urban water supply equipments. It’s reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution(分發(fā)). Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic meters by 2010.
