     In Western countries people have been using the installment plan since the first half of the twentieth
century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by
installments. In the U. S., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10
percent of their income on the installment plan.
     The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.
There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when
the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid
up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.
     Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish
their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and
employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly,
making business much worse. This may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the
installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of
people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their
debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it
becomes more likely to have a depression. This is why, in some countries, the government controls the
installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from
buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
1. Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan?
[     ]
A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.
B. More than 10 percent American families buy things on installments.
C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.
D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.
2. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because _____.
[     ]
A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest
B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money
C. the buyer has to pay a down payment
D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money
3. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?
[     ]
A. He might lose his job.
B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.
C. He will have to sell what he has bought.
D. He will go into debt.
4. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _____.
[     ]
A. purchasing power is strengthened
B. employment might be increased
C. people develop a good habit of saving money
D. young couples are able to furnish their homes
5. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _____.
[     ]
A. increase employment
B. avoid depressions
C. ensure that businesses make good profits
D. ensure that people can pay for what hey buy

      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 the desired 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 (調(diào)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 currency swap (互惠外匯信貸) 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
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 (機(jī)制).
1. According to the passage, members of the Eurozone reached agreement on ______.
[     ]

[     ]
A. to closely follow the development of the crisis.
B. to study the trend and impact of the financial crisis.
C. to do their own business well.
D. to increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations.
3. Which word has the same meaning with the underlined word maintain?
[     ]
A. mainly
B. keep
C. increase
D. decrease
4. According to the passage, which of the following sentence is false?
[     ]
A. Global issues included energy, food, the environment etc.

     In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in
the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important
and requires immediate attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives
a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call
communicates its importance.
     In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded
if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true
in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in
advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning
of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in
American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.
In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person
who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few
words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
1. A call at midnight would mean _____.
[     ]
A. the matter is less important
B. the matter is too difficult to handle
C. the matter requires immediate attention
D. it is a matter of life and death
2. According to the passage, time plays a very important part in _____.
[     ]
A. everyday life
B. private life
C. getting along with others
D. business
3. In the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent _____.
[     ]
A. three or four days before the party date in all cultures
B. three or four days before the party date in some cultures
C. three or four days before the party date in the USA
D. at your chosen time
