　　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．

(1)

According to the passage, which country will enjoy the biggest increase in 2009?
[　　]
A．	China
B．	Russia
C．	Brazil
D．	India

(2)

According to Aslund, Russia shouldn't be a BRIC partly because ________．
[　　]
A．	its economic performance is worse than that of the others
B．	its leaders are not good at managing economy
C．	it has taken effective measures to improve its economy
D．	it will no longer attract investors from other countries

(3)

From the passage we know that ________．
[　　]
A．	Anders Aslund is working for the Russian government
B．	Russia outperformed the other three countries in stock market
C．	most people disagree Russia is included in the BRICs
D．	the BRICs would end up being the BICs sooner or later

(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

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided．The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress．
◆Try physical activity
When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running，walking，playing tennis，and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.
◆Take care of yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and can’t sleep well enough, or if you’re not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor．
◆Make time for yourself
Schedule time for both work and entertainment．Don't forget，play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work. You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun．Go window-shopping or work on a hobby．Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy．
◆Make a list of things to do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result，you may not achieve anything．Instead，make a list of everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time，checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．

　　A group of soldiers were stationed(驻扎)in the country near the home of a big landowner, called Lord Hunt．As they wanted to stay on good terms with the landowner, they offered to blow up a large tree stump that had remained after part of a tree had been blown down in the storm．But Lord Hunt asked them not to damage the plantation of young trees that was next to the stump．The officer in charge of the engineers promised him that they would be careful．Lord Hunt was so pleased that he asked the whole group to lunch on the day of the explosion．

　　The day came and just before lunch, the officer checked with one of his men to see if they had put enough explosive in the stump．“I checked the maths,”said the soldier and it comes to 32 kilos．“Are you sure?”asked the officer．“Perhaps you’d better put in a bit more just to make sure．”The lunch continued and everyone ate a lot and drank a lot．

　　Lord Hunt was so upset that he turned around and walked back to his house．He looked at the house in horror and saw that every single window had been broken by the explosion．He was so upset that he went to the toilet on the ground floor to get over his feelings of shock．When he had finished, he pulled the plug of the toilet and the whole ceiling, which had been weakened by the explosion, fell on his head．

The host poured the tea into the cup and placed it on the small table in front of his guests，who were a father and his daughter，and put the lid on the cup with a clink．Obviously thinking of something．he hurried into the inner room，leaving the thermos (热水瓶)on the table．His two guests heard a chest of drawers opening and rustling.

They remained sitting in the sitting room，the ten-year-old daughter looking at the flowers outside the window，the father just about to take his cup，when the crash came，right there in the sitting room．Something was hopelessly broken．

It was the thermos，which had fallen to the floor．The girls looked over her shoulder suddenly，shocked, staring. It was mysterious；neither of them had touched it，not even a little bit．True．it hadn’t stood steadily when their host placed it on the table，but it hadn’t fallen then．

The crash of the thermos caused the host，with a box of sugar cubes in his hand，to rush back from the inner room．He looked foolishly at the steaming floor and blurted out。“It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter!’'

The father started to say something．Then he said in a low voice，“Sorry I touched it and it fell．”

“It doesn’t matter，”the host said．

Later，when they left the house，the daughter said，“Daddy，did you touch it?’’

“No．But it stood so close to me．”

“But you didn’t touch it．I saw your reflection in the window .You were sitting perfectly still．”

The father laughed．“Then how would you explain the cause of its fall?”

“The thermos fell by itself , The floor is uneven. It wasn’t steady when Mr. Li put it there．

Daddy，why did you say that?”

“That won’t do，girl．It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down．There are things which people accept less true it sounds．”

The daughter was lost in silence for a while．Then she said，“Can you explain it only this way?”

“Only this way．”her father said．
