    56．The best title of this passage is probably . A．The World Economic Crisis Is Getting Worse B．Economic Crisis Affects Our Health C．Economic Crisis Causes Trouble to Sleep D．People Suffer Greatly in Economic Crisis D “Dining out and “eating out are phrases people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or pub. Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. In 2006, for the first time ever, British people spent more eating out than cooking for themselves and eating at home. It seems that many British people are becoming increasingly interested in how good their food tastes, and also how healthy it is. However, eating out can also be expensive. As British people do not eat out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date and wanting to impress him/her, or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat, and people often also eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theater. As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquettesurrounding food and eating. The knife and fork should be used in the correct way! It is also impolite to have your elbows on the dining table when you are eating. Almost all British cities have a vast range of food as well as traditional British food, and all from the very cheap to the very expensive-French , Italian, Indian, Chinese, Greek, Thai, Japan and many, many more. In fact, when asked which was their favorite food, more British people said an Indian currythan any other dish! As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “takeaway . This means that they order from a take-out restaurant by telephone, and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver it to your house. While you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any food, the most popular are Italian pizza, Indian and Chinese and then all you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat! 【查看更多】

    World food prices have dropped since early 2008．Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years．

    　　BEIJING, Feb 13－Never has China's economic growth attracted so much global attention．The shock waves from the financial crisis(危机)that started in the United States have spread across the entire world, sending developed nations, including Japan and those of Europe, into serious recession(衰退)．The world is now holding out hope that China, with its massive potential, will serve as the engine to fuel global economic growth．

    　　But China's real economic growth slowed sharply to 6.8 percent in the October-December quarter．For China, this rate of economic expansion must be as disappointing as negative growth is for Japan．Beijing has set an official goal of achieving a minimum annual growth rate of 8 percent－a pace it regards as important to ensuring job security．

    　　The Chinese government is apparently confident the nation will achieve the minimum growth target of 8 percent in 2009．At the World Economic Forum's annual meeting of political and business leaders in Davos, Switzerland, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao stressed the Chinese economy began to show signs of recovery late last year．

    　　Last week, however, the International Monetary Fund predicted that China's economic growth in 2009 will be 6.7 percent．China's economic outlook is likely to keep both hope and anxiety for the time being．

    　　China's impressive economic growth has been fueled by swelling exports and massive investment(投资)in equipment to produce goods for overseas．But the US, Japanese and European economies, which have absorbed the bulk(数量)of China's exports, are expected to shrink simultaneous(同时)in 2009, for the first time since the end of World War II．For the first time since it started serious efforts to turn itself into a market economy in the 1990s, China is facing the challenge of maintaining healthy economic growth without depending on external demand．

    　　Expansion of domestic(国内的)demand holds a key to China's success in tackling this challenge．Consumer spending accounts for only 35 percent of China's gross(总的))domestic product．The ratio(比率)is considerably lower than the 70 percent for the United States and the nearly 60 percent for Japan．That is because the middle class-the group that should lead consumer spending-is still relatively small in China, where the benefits of the nation's strong economic growth in recent years have mostly eluded rural villages and low-income earners．

    (1)

    According to the report, in the last quarter of 2008, China's real economic growth was at least ________ less than planned annual growth rate．
