阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案。

       "When I was a boy, my father, a baker (面包师) introduced me to     the wonders of song," Tenor (男高音) superstar (超级歌星) Luciano   Pavarotti (卢西亚诺·帕瓦罗蒂) says. "He urged me to work very hard to   develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional (专业的) tenor in my     hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I was also at a     teachers' college at that time. On graduating, I asked my father,     'Shall I be a teacher or a singer?' "

  

         "'Luciano,' my father replied, 'if you try to sit on two chairs,     you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.' "

It     took another seven years to reach the Metropolitan Opera (意大利大都会   歌剧院). And now I think whether it's laying bricks (干砌砖工),     writing a book—whatever we choose—we should give ourselves to     it. Commitment (献身精神), that's the key. Choose one chair."

  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 Foreign 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(投资者)to focus on the big promising players.From an investment standpoint, it could be argued that Russia is leading the BRICs.Its stock market is up 128 percent this year while around 80 percent is for the other three.

  At very least, despite Russia's economic underperformance, its stock market outperformance does suggest it is indeed one of the group.

[  ]

A.

D.
