Read the text below about the U. S. economy.

If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.
If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word on your Answer Sheet.
The U. S. economy is growing most slowly, the U. S. Federal Reserve said on
Wednesday in a report. Economic business activity in most districts is
34 reported to be generally good and expanding moderately, in according to a
35 survey of regional business conditions last week. But the survey found
36 labour-market tightness and, in a few of regions, rift tightness appears to be
37 broadly based. As a result, wage gains have been tended to outstrip price increases.
38 The survey will be ruled by Federal Reserve policy-makers when they will meet
39 next month to consider adjusting interest rates. It was based on with information
40 collected during the middle of last week. There is a growing belief that Federal
41 Reserve officials will raise up short-term interest rates at the meeting to slow
42 economic growth and prevent from any acceleration in inflation. Recent reports,
43 including for shrinking unemployment, expanding factory orders and continued
44 high levels of home sales, have caused many to ask question earlier beliefs
45 that the dynamic economy in the country will slow by itself in the near future.

Investors applauded the result, driving Alinta shares up 5. 6. percent to about a 5-month high of A $6.81.
Alinta, whose $1.24 billion purchase of U. S. -based Duke Energy Corp's Asia-Pacific power assets in March transformed it from Western Australia's biggest gas retailer and distributor into a national player, said acquisitions would remain a key part of its growth strategy.
"We'll continue to pursue... anywhere from 20—100 percent ownership, but more importantly the operational rights and fees that go with that for operating these assets," Alinta Chief Executive Officer Bob Browning told a briefing.
Alinta said net profit for the 6 months ended June 30 was A $45.6 million ($32.8 million), up from A $28.1 million. "The consensus for the full year was around A $62 million and they've more or less blown that out of the water with their guidance for the next half," said Patersons Securities analyst Rob Brierley.
When it bought the Duke operations, Alinta said calendar 2004 earnings per share would be 27.6 cents a share and flagged a dividend of 38 cents a share.
On Thursday, it lifted that forecast.
"Given the strong first-half performance by Alinta, the full-year forecast has now been adjusted to 32—35 cents diluted EPS (earnings per share) for the full 2004 financial year," Alinta said, adding full-year dividends would be 40 to 42 cents a share. It said the target excludes a one-off gain on the sale of telecommunications group Uecomm.
Browning said Alinta was seeking a 20—25 percent stake in the Dampier-to-Bunbury pipeline in Western Australia state and would team up with Macquarie Bank Ltd. and Alcoa Inc. to lodge a bid by the Aug. 27 deadline.
"The majority of the ownership would, be held by Macquarie and ultimately DUET," Browning told Reuters, referring to a A $565 million utility investment fund partly managed by Macquarie Bank.
Alinta and Alcoa are two of the biggest customers for the gas pipeline, which is controlled by U. S. -based Epic Energy but fell into receivership in April after creditors owed A $1.85 billion ended a debt standstill.
Epic is controlled by America's largest natural gas pipeline operator, El Paso Corp. and U. S. utility giant Dominion Resources Inc..
Browning said Alinta had no immediate plans to sell any of the Duke assets—comprising 2,300 km (1,380 miles) of pipelines and 450 megawatts of thermal power generation—and was looking at ways to leverage them and grow profits.
By early afternoon Alinta shares had eased off their highs to stand 5 percent higher at A $6.77 in a slightly firmer overall market. ($1=A $1.39)
The net profit of. Alinta in the first half of last year was ______ .
A．A $62 million
B．A $45.6 million
C．A $28.1 million
D．A $27 million

Unlike the private enterprise model, which is the foundation of the U. S. health care system, Canada has a health care system based on different principles:l) Universality: everyone is covered. 2) Portability:people can move from province to province and from job to job, or be un-employed, and they will still be covered. 3) Comprehensiveness: the plan covers all medically necessary treatment. 4) Public administration: the system is publicly run and publicly accountable.
Since 1947 Canada has had a tax-supported health care system in which every Canadian is covered for the costs of all medically necessary services. Under this plan, each citizen is issued a health card by the government, which is presented when health care is received. Using tax money, the govemment pays back physicians and hospitals, based on a fee schedule determined by the government, not the market. The keys are that the health services are paid for by the government and all Canadians have equal access to the care they need. Canadians can select any doctor they like. The plan is a " single payer"plan, with the doctors billing the provincial insurance plans directly (the government of each Canadian province pays the medical bills of its citizens) . For patients,there are no bills,claim forms, fees,and long waits for compensations from insurance carriers.
The key difference between the Canadian system and that in the United States is that"in Canada health care is considered a social right, while in the United States it is treated more like a commodity".
The usual arguments against such a plan are that it is inefficient and costly.ln Canada's case, health care is administered more efficiently, at less cost, and with better results, than the health care system in the United States. The results, as measured by infant mortality and life expectancy, show that Canada is ahead of the United States. Administrative costs are less in Canada (about one-fourth of U. S. administrative expenses for physicians, hospitals, and insurance companies) .
The Canadian health care system is not perfect. Canadians have less access than Americans to the latest technological innovations. There may be waits for those not needing immediate surgeries. But despite some small problems ,most Canadians like their health care system. A Gallup Poll in 1991 revealed, for example, that 91 percent of Canadians rated their health care system better than that in the United States, compared to only 26 percent of Americans who felt their system was su- perior to that in Canada.
56. The Canadian health care system is________
[ A] financially supported by private enterprises.
[ B] run according to different principles.
[ C] designed for the convenience of the public.
[ D] complicated by administration.

This classic cross-culture book provides reading passages， culture notes， and discussion topics which focus on values， behaviours， attitudes and communication styles. It features a chapter on cultural diversity in the U. S. ， an explanation of mainstream U. S. values with examples which reveal some of the more hidden aspects of culture， examples of cross-cultural differences in a wide variety of cultures， and extensive readings and exercises.
B
As a multistand course——organized according to functions， discussion techniques and communication concepts——this text develops the speaking skills of business professionals or business students. It is easily adaptable to differing class sizes， student needs and interests. A special feature of the course is its carefully staged discussion activities which structure and facilitate group partici- pation.

This series is intended for students now ready to approach English literature. Each book deals with both the literary and the language aspects of their texts. Some exercises focus on a personal response， others on discussing literary qualities such as style， character， imagery and ideas. Other exercises concentrate on the development of language awareness in terms of grammar， vocabulary and different styles of writing.
D
Authentic texts covering a wide range of topics provide a stimulating basis for an approach of skills and strategies to academic reading. Techniques of skimming and scanning， identifying main ideas， understanding text organization and guessing unknown vocabulary provide the basis for each unit. These are followed by more advanced strategies， such as analyzing a writer"s use of time， evaluating a writer"s attitude and assessing the degree of certainty in arguments. Each unit ends with discussion topics which lead to a writing task based on the reading texts.
It aims to train the students to become sensitive to different styles of writing. 查看材料
