    If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he’d better offer you more money to do so — or even double that depending on where you live now．That’s because Moscow has just been found to be the world’s most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting．
    Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34．4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment．
    A two-bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $4,000 a month; a CD $24．83, and an international newspaper $6．30, according to Mercer．By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger （汉堡包） is a steal at $4．80．
    London takes the No．2 place, up from No．5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar．Mercer estimates （估算） London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days．Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No．5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly．
    Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world’s most expensive cities．But both have fallen since last year’s study — New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago．San Francisco came in a distant third at No．54, down 20 places from a year earlier．
    Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada’s most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide．In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No．21 worldwide．
    【小题1】What do the underlined words “a steal” in Paragraph 3 mean?

    A．an act of stealing B．something delicious
    C．something very cheap D．an act of buying
    【小题2】London has become the second most expensive city because of ______．
    A．the high cost of clothing
    B．the stronger pound against the dollar
    C．its expensive transportation
    D．the high prices of fast food meals
    【小题3】Which city is the third most expensive on the list?
    A．Tokyo．B．Hong Kong．C．Moscow．D．Sydney．

    Is it time to kick Russia out of the BRICs （金砖四国）? If so, it may end up sounding like a famous ball-point pen maker-BIC. An argument is being made that Goldman Sach’s famous marketing device（策略）,the BRICs, should really be the BICs.
    “Is Russia really worth the name BRICs?” asks Anders Aslund, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, in an article for Foreigh Policy. Aslund, who is also co-author with Andrew Kuchins of “The Russian Balance Sheet”, thinks the Russia of Putin and Medvedev is just not worthy of inclusion alongside Brazil, India and China in the list of future economic powerhouses. He writes:
    “The country’s economic performance has fallen to such a weak level that one must ask whether it has any say at all on the global economy, compared with the other members of its group. I have just returned from Moscow, which is always dull around this season. For the last seven years, Russia has taken very few measures to improve its economy. Instead, the state has been living on oil and gas. ”
    Economically, Aslund has the numbers on his side. The International Monetary Fund figures that the Russian economy will fall by 6.7 percent in 2009, while China will grow 8.5 percent and India 5.4 percent. There is less of a case for Brazil, with a fall of 0.7 percent, but it is still doing
    far better than Russia.
    But the BRICs are not just about economy. As is mentioned above, it is a marketing device to encourage investors to focus on the big promising players. From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs. Its stock（股票）market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.
    At very least, however, Russia’s economic underperformance and stock market outperfoumance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.
    【小题1】According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?

    A．China.B．Russia.C．Brazil.D．India.
    【小题2】According to Aslund, Russia shouldn’t be a BRIC partly because_______.
    A．Russia’s economic performance is far worse than the other three
    B．Russia’s leaders are not good at managing economy
    C．Russia has taken effective measures to improve its economy
    D．Russia will no longer attract investors from other countries
    【小题3】From the passage we know that ________.
    A．Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government
    B．Russia outperfoumed the other three countries in stock market
    C．most people disagree Russia is included in BRICs
    D．the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later
    【小题4】The author seems to ________.
    A．suggest it’s time to kick Russia out of the BRICs?
    B．feel worried about the economy of the BRICs
    C．think Russia is worth being one of the group
    D．show disappointment to Russia’s economy
