Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices go up, up, and up. “How high can they go ?” is the common question that 46 in the city is asking. But right now, few people seem to have the answer. “ 47 interest rates(利率) stay at about 5 percent, there’s no way of knowing,”, said a local Guangzhou economist.
“It’s crazy,” said Li Hua, who is 48 a house near the river. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom apartment in Haizhu district, for 100,000 yuan. My friends thought that I was overpaying and said it just wasn’t worth it. Five years later , I had to move to Shenzhen. I 49 it for 160,000 yuan, which was nice profit. Last year, while 50 friends here, I saw in the local paper that exact same 51 was for sale for 450,000 yuan!”
It is a seller’s 52 . Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price just to have a chance. Li Hua says the situation is really diffcult. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the 53 decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great 54 .”
Everyone says prices must fall, but everyone hopes it will happen the day after they sell their house. 55 government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that these things change,” said the state director of housing. “What goes up must come down.”

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive . Some experts say the 21 is to make jobs more varied . But do more varied jobs 22 greater productivity ?There is evidence to suggest that 23 variety certainly makes the worker’s life more enjoyable , it doesn’t 24 make him work harder . As far as increasing productivity is concerned , then , 25 is not an improtant factor .
Other experts feel that giving the worker 26 to do his job in his own way is important , and there is no doubt that this is ture . The 27 is that this kind of freedom can’t easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery which must be used in a 28 way . Thus while freedom of choice may be important , there is usually very little that can be done to 44 it .
Another important 30 is how much each worker 31 to the product he is making . In most factories the worker 32 only one small part of the product . Some car factories are now 33 with having many small production lines rather than one large one , so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his 34 . It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor 35 it is one we can do something about .
To what 36 does more money lead to greater productivity ? The workers themselves certainly think this is 37 . But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring , 38 just lets them enjoy their spare time more . A 39 argument may explain demands for shorter working hours . Perhaps if we 40 making their jobs more interesting , they will neither want more money , nor will shorter working hours be so important to the .
