根据下列短文,回答下列各题。 Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has

been halved. No, youre not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already- expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8. The once all-powerful dollar isnt doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar. The weak dollar is a source of humiliation (屈辱), for a nations self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. Its also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy--from giant companies like Coca-Cola to morn-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami--for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak. Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico--as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals cant afford to join the merrymaking. The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports, which, thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For the first five months of 2007, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations, youre a winner in the weak-dollsr gamble. Last week Coca-Colas stock bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Cokes beverage (饮料) business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonalds and IBM. American tourists, however, shouldnt expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up--slowly, and then all at once. And currencies dont turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect. Why do Americans feel humiliated?

A.Their economy is plunging.

B.Their currency has slumped.

C.They cant afford trips to Europe.

D.They have lost half of their assets.

根据下列短文,回答下列各题。 The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Co

根据下列短文,回答下列各题。 The use of deferential (敬重的) language is symbolic of the Confucian ideal of the woman, which dominates conservative gender norms in Japan. This ideal presents a woman who withdraws quietly to the background, subordinating her life and needs to those of her family and its male head. She is a dutiful daughter, wife, and mother, master of the domestic arts. The typical refined Japanese woman excels in modesty and delicacy; she "treads softly (谨言慎行)in the world," elevating feminine beauty and grace to an art form. Nowadays, it is commonly observed that young women are not conforming to the feminine linguistic (语言的) ideal. They are using fewer of the very deferential "womens" forms, and even using the few strong forms that are known as "mens." This, of course, attracts considerable attention and has led to an outcry in the Japanese media against the defeminization of womens language. Indeed, we didnt hear about "mens language" until people began to respond to girls appropriation of forms normally reserved for boys and men. There is considerable sentiment about the "corruption" of womens language--which of course is viewed as part of the loss of feminine ideals an morality--and this sentiment is crystallized by nationwide opinion polls that are regularly carried out by the media. Yoshiko Matsumoto has argued that young women probably never used as many of the highly deferential forms as older women. This highly polite style. is no doubt something that young women have been expected to" grow into"-after all, it is a sign not simply of femininity, but of maturity and refinement, and its use could be taken to indicate a change in the nature of ones social relations as well. One might well imagine little girls using exceedingly polite forms when playing house or imitating older women-in a fashion analogous to little girls us, era high-pitched voice to do "teacher talk" or "mother talk" in role play. The fact that young Japanese women are using less deferential language is a sure sign of change--of social change and of linguistic change. But it is most certainly not a sign of the "masculinizafiun" of girls. In some instances, it may be a sign that girls arc making the same claim to authority as boys and men, but that is very different from saying that they are trying to be "masculine". Katsue Reynolds has argued that girls nowadays are using more assertive language strategies in order to be able to compete with boys in schools and out. Social change also brings not simply different positions for women and girls, but different relations to life stages, and adolescent girls are participating in new subcultural forms. Thus what may to an older speaker, seem like "masculine" speech may seem to an adolescent like "liberated" or "hip" speech. The first paragraph describes in detail ________.

A.the standards set for contemporary Japanese women

B.the Confucian influence on gender norms in Japan

C.the stereotyped role of women in Japanese families

D.the norms for traditional Japanese women to follow
