9housing price in china has always aroused heated discussions among housing developers and ordinary chinese. to many developers and local government officials, housing price in china is still low compared with many developed countries. however, the average housing price in the united states is only 8, 000 yuan per square meter, while in china，it is even higher than that in the united states. this shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in chinese real estate(房地產(chǎn)) market, the international finance news reported.although the average price of residential houses in the united states, after converted to renminbi, is about 8, 000 yuan per square meter, the houses in the us are not sold in terms of building area, as most chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. if us property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8, 000 yuan per square meter. in most big chinese cities, such as beijing, shanghai, and shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the us. the high housing sales price in large cities in china proves that chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. moreover, chinese houses can not be compared with houses in the us in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. furthermore, it should be noted that american peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of chinese people. how can the chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the us?at the beginning of 2007, chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. in 2011, in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans(貸款) and lands to property developers. at the same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. by applying these by multiple(多種多樣的) ways, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered. 21. according to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in china? a. 8, 000 yuan. b. 10, 000 yuan. c. 7, 000 yuan. d. its not mentioned here. 22. which of the following does not support the idea that the average housing price in china is even higher than that in the us? a. chinese houses can not be compared with houses in the us in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. b. american peoples average income is several dozen times higher than that of chinese people. c. the houses in the us are not sold in terms of building area, as most chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. d. there are more people who need houses in china. 23. what is the main idea of this passage? a. the government should take useful measures to stop high housing prices. b. there are some bubbles in chinese real estate market. c. the average housing price in china is even higher than that in the us. d. chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. 24. how many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices? a. four. b. three. c. five. d. two.

the effigy (肖像) of zozobra, or old man gloom, to drive away the hardships of the past year. the kiwanis club began hosting the burning in 1963 as its major activity to raise money.local artist bud schuster thought of and created zozobra in 1924 as the focus of a private celebration at his home for artists and writers in the community. his inspiration for zozobra came from the holy week celebrations of the yaqui indians of mexicoan effigy of judas, filled with firecrackers, was led around the village on a donkey and later burned. a newspaper editor and friend of schusters came up with the name zozobra, which is spanish for “the gloomy(沮喪的) one”. the effigy is a giant lively wooden puppet(木偶) that waves its arms and cries aloud over the approach of its fate. an excellent part of the show is that the fire spirit dancer, dressed in flowing red clothes, appears at the top of the stage to drive away the white-sheeted “glooms” from the base of the giant zozobra. the fire dance
