Reading Comprehension
China is weathering the global crisis well. But to sustain a high growth rate, the economy
needs to shift away from investment and exports towards domestic consumption. That
transition depends on a fairer division of the spoils of growth. At present, China’s banks
shovel workers’ saving into state-owned enterprises, depriving workers of spending power
and private companies of capital. As a result, just when some of the other ingredients of
China’s boom, such as cheap land and labor, are becoming scarcer, the government is
wasting capital on a vast scale. Freeing up the financial system would give consumers more
spending power and improve the allocation of capital.
(Adapted From The Economist, January 28, 2012, p.9)
According to this paragraph
China is likely to continue enjoying a high growth rate thanks to investment and
exports
if China wants to continue enjoying a high growth rate it will need to focus its
economy more on domestic consumption
the global crisis is likely to bypass China because workers’ high saving rate, cheap
land, and cheap labor
China’s weather, ensuring a high growth rate, sustains its insulation against the
global crisis.

According to this paragraph,
people tend to forget innocuous, embarrassing, and frightening events
people especially remember events that are innocuous, embarrassing, and
frightening
many memories, whether innocuous, embarrassing, or frightening can actually be
falsely created
people use different techniques to remember innocuous, embarrassing, and
frightening events
Human memory is created and highly suggestible, and a wide variety of innocuous,
embarrassing, and frightening memories can be falsely created through the use of different
techniques, including guided imagery, hypnosis, and suggestion by others. Though not all
individuals who are exposed to these techniques will develop memories, experiments
suggest a significant number of people will and will actively defend the existence of the
events, even if told they were false and deliberately implanted. In an experiment by
Roediger and McDermott’s (1995), subjects were presented with a list of related items
(such as candy, sugar, honey) to study. When asked to recall the list, participants were just
as, if not more, likely to recall semantically related words (such as words denoting
sweetness) than items that were actually studied, thus creating false memories.

When told that their memories were false and deliberately implanted, according to
experiments
many people will find this embarrassing or frightening
many people will defend such experiments
many people will assume to have been exposed to techniques such as guided imagery, hypnosis, and suggestion by others
