The Americans are desperate, and with good reason, they have successfully kept the U.S. economy in__21__ after the financial crisis, but the problem is far from over. Despite a moderate recovery, the lack of job creation is serious. Many U.S. leaders rightly see jobs as the key to their country’s __22__and avoiding a second dip. The lack of a solution is fast becoming a political one as the November elections approach. Recent __23__ to get tough with China are gaining momentum（势头）in various quarters. The charge that China is the __24__of the U.S.-led financial crisis in the West looks ridiculous in the East. But we should at least give it a proper response.

You can pay down your mortgage faster and spend only what you have left, or you can take out a second mortgage to have an expensive vacation and buy a new S.U.V. Many Americans  __28__ the latter path. But who is __29__? The banks? Yes! But China?

The West must recognize that its problem — and its solution — come from within. What China did or did not do did not create the financial crisis. What China will do or not do would not solve their problems. But China can help and it is willing. And you are not going to get it by getting __30__ with China.
