    China's economic growth 'hard to predict'

    　　The worsening global economic situation makes it difficult for China to predict its growth for next year, a senior official said on Friday．

    　　“How fast China’s economy will grow next year is uncertain,”Liu He, deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economy Work, told China Daily．

    　　“To a large extent, the rate will be decided by the external(外部的)situation,”Liu said during a discussion with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and other economists in Beijing．

    　　This year, GDP is estimated to grow at 9.4 or 9.5 percent, down from 10.6 percent last year, he said．However, the impact of the current financial turbulence“on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world”, he said．

    　　Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily it will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spreading from the US and the UK to the rest of the world．

    　　“We don’t know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,”he said．

    　　Liu said China can use the downturn(衰退)as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost technology over the past years．

    　　“When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies,”Liu said．

    　　“The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to enhance(提高)their competitive edge through better technologies．”

         China_is_going_green. In order to reduce air pollution and oilshortages, automobile manufacturers have announced their plans to develop hybrid vehicles (混合燃料汽车) for the Chinese market. Toyota's
    hybrid car Prius will be ready to drive in China this week. Let's have a look at the new car.
         Any vehicle is a hybrid when it combines two or more sources of power. Hybrid cars run off a
    rechargeable battery and gasoline. Hybrid cars have special engines, which are smaller than traditional
    gasoline engines. They run at 99 percent of their power when the car is cruising (匀速行驶). A specially
    designed battery motor provides extra power for running up hills or when extra acceleration is needed.
         Step into a Prius, and turn on the engine. The first thing you notice is how much quieter it is than a
    traditional car. At this point, the car's gasoline engine is dormant (休眠). The electric motor will provide
    power until the car reaches about 24 km/h. If you stay at a low speed, you are effectively driving an
    electric car, with no gasoline being used, and no waste gas gives off.
         The onboard(车载的) computer makes the decision about when to use a gas engine, when to go
    electric, and when to use a combination of the two. If you go over 24 km/h, when you step on the gas
    pedal (油门), you are actually telling the computer how fast you want to go.
         The electronic motor recharges automatically using a set of batteries. When driving at high speed, the
    gasoline engine not only powers the car, but also charges the batteries. Any time you use the brake, the
    electric motor in the wheels will work like a generator and produce electricity to recharge the batteries. As a consequence, the car's batteries will last for around 200,000 miles.
    1. The author writes this passage mainly to________.
    A. teach people how to drive a hybrid car
    B. introduce a new kind of "green" car
    C. show how to save their gasoline when driving a car
    D. announce plans to develop hybrid vehicles for China
    2. The first sentence probably refers to ________.
    A. there will be more and more green land in China
    B. China is still young and lacking experience
    C. China's new cars are combinations of different green models
    D. China has started producing environmentally friendly cars
    3. Which of the followings is NOT true?
    A. The hybrid cars reduce air pollution and oilshortages.
    B. The car's gasoline engine doesn't work until it reaches about 24 km/h.
    C. This kind of car is completely controlled by an onboard computer.
    D. A specially designed battery motor provides extra power when needed.
    4. What is the most important feature of hybrid cars?
    A. They are powered by both a rechargeable battery and gasoline.
    B. They are much quieter than traditional cars.
    C. They only use 99 percent of their power to run up hills.
    D. They have smaller engines than traditional gasoline ones.
    5. What can we conclude from the story?
    A. The batteries can be recharged at any time you want.
    B. Using the brake suggests that the gasoline engine should work.
    C. The batteries will last for 200, 000 miles without being recharged.
    D. The gasoline engine charges the batteries as well as powers the car.
