We should not blindly describe the real estate (房地产) sector as being “overheated”. Certainly, an over-optimistic (过分乐观的) anticipation of property price has led to blind investment in some places. But that’s an isolated phenomenon. It does not tell the whole story. Some would argue the current supply of houses outweighs the demand, as the country’s idle housing space has reached 100 million square meters. But can we infer from this figure that the real estate sector is overheated? Let’s pause and consider. Suppose 20 percent of urban households want to improve their living conditions and each of them expect to enlarge their houses by 20 square meters. With both figures underestimated, there would be 2.7 million urban households wanting to buy larger houses and 540 million square meters of properties should be available in total. The calculation is by no means unrealistic. You can feel that the huge demand is real from your daily contacts with friends. Now my question is: Do we have idle space of 540 million square meters? Suppose further that commodity (日用品) prices would rise as a result of overheated investment. But have we witnessed a rise in the prices of bricks, tiles or stones? No. China’s overall price level has just inched up by 0.3 percent. It does not indicate inflation (通货膨胀). Suppose again that an overheated real estate sector has siphoned (吸取) too much capital from other sectors of the economy. But have we witnessed a shortage of funds in other sectors? No. Have we witnessed a real interest rate higher than the nominal one? No. This is the biggest difference between the real estate today and that in the early 1990s. 1. What is discussed in the passage? (In English) 2. According to the passage, what is the author’s opinion to the real estate? (In English) 3. What does the underlined word “idle” in the second paragraph mean in Chinese? 4. 把第一段的划线部分变成一个含有定语从句的句子。 5. Translate the underlined sentence in the third paragraph into Chinese.

我们的未来会怎么样?
提到人类未来的生活将会怎样,我想一千个人对此会有一千种不同的看法,但不外乎就是两种态度——乐观的或是悲观的。地球的未来究竟会怎样?科学家们的猜测也许是这样的……
Some experts are pessimistic when they think about the future. They say that,by then the population of the world will have doubled. We will have run out of many essential resources like oil and coal.We may have even run out of water to drink.Some experts believe that there will be no land left,because of the overcrowding.
Others are far more optimistic.They say that life will be better than it is today.We may be living in better buildings and leading better lives than we are today.Life will certainly have become more mechanized.Machines will be doing many jobs that people do today.People will no longer be able to learn only one job in their life time.They will have to learn several.Perhaps a station will be built on the moon.People will be able to visit the moon as travelers. They may even spend their holidays in space,traveling by spaceship.
Many people never think about the future.“I don't care.I'll be dead.”they say.But it is our duty to care because the world of that time will be the one of our children's children and their children after them.
