　　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

[　　]
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

[　　]
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

Jason had been watching the X Games on TV. Athletes from all over the world were competing in the most amazing sports. Just then his grandmother walked into the room. “I want to be extreme. Would you really let me do that? You always worry about my safety!” said Jason.
“You will have to follow some rules,” said his grandmother. “You can only ride in the park — never on the streets. You have to promise to wear a helmet (头盔). If you hurt yourself too much, I have the right to take your skateboard away. Is it a deal?”
“You bet!” Jason was so excited that he jumped off the sofa. A week later he had a board and a helmet.
On Saturday, his grandmother dropped him off near the park. He was happy to have a grandmother who let him try new things.
Kids in the park were moving quickly up and down the ramps (坡道). They flew into the air and landed as easily as birds. When he watched the X games, Jason felt like he was doing the tricks himself. But watching these kids up close, he knew that none of it was going to be easy. He felt a little bit scared.
Very slowly he carried his board to the ramp. Taking a deep breath, he put his right foot on the board. He kicked off with his left foot. For a few seconds he glided (滑行) along, just waiting to fall. Then he came to a stop. Kicking off again, he waited for the worst to happen. Again, he stayed up. The third time he kicked, lost his balance, and fell hard on his left knee.
It hurt, but it was no big deal! Why had he been so scared? Now he felt calm because things had gone wrong, and he was fine!
Next time he kicked off harder and went fast and farther. “Excellent!” said a girl as she passed him. “Extreme!” laughed Jason to himself. “Not quite.”
