In the United States, new cas emed to fade as warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was significant flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the samples tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not asonal flu. @Zov&0

The longest bull run in a century of artmarket history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, “Beautiful Inside My Head Forever”, at Sotheby’s in London on September 15th 2008 (e picture). All but two pieces sold, fetching more than ā70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last hurrah. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.
The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising vertiginously since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a rearch firm—double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size becau it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.
In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the bailout of the banks coincided with the loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demi of many artbuying investors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by twothirds, and in the most overheated ctor—for Chine contemporary art—they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world’s two biggest auction hous, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.
The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japane stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most rious contraction in the market since the cond world war. This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more volatile. But Edward Dolman, Christie’s chief executive, says: “I’m pretty confident we’re at the bottom.”
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, when interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to ll. Christie’s revenues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first
half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to ll. The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to ll is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.

I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative frequently offering ideas and anecdotes while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true" he explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going we'd spend the whole evening in silence."
春药有哪些This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. The pattern was obrved by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late '70s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book "Divorce Talk" that most of the women she interviewed bu
t only a few of the men gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent that amounts to millions of cas in the United States every year a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.
In my own rearch complaints from women about their husbands most often focud not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily lifesupport work like cleaning cooking social arrangements and errands. Instead they focud on communication: "He doesn't listen to me" "He doesn't talk to me." I found as Hacker obrved years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.
In short the image that best reprents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face while a woman glares at the back of it wanting to talk.
26.What is most wives' main expectation of their husbands?
A.Talking to them.
B.Trusting them.
C.Supporting their careers.
D. Shsring houwork.
27.Judging from the context ,the phra “wreaking havoc”(Line 3,Para.2)most probably means ___ .
A generating motivation.
C.causing damage
Dcreating pressure
28.All of the following are true EXCEPT_______
< tend to talk more in public tan women
C.women attach much importance to communication between couples
Da female tends to be more talkative at home than her spou
29.Which of the following can best summarize the mian idea of this text ?
A.The moral decaying derves more rearch by sociologists .
B.Marriage break_up stems from x inequalities.
C.Husband and wofe have different expectations from their marriage.
D.Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.
30.In the following part immediately after this text,the author will most probably focus
on ______

B.a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoon
D a brief introduction to the political scientist Andrew Hacker

Over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors — habits — among consumers. The habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks, apply lotions and wipe counters almost without thinking, often in respon to a carefully designed t of daily cues.
“There are fundamental public health problems, like hand washing with soap, that remain killers only becau we can’t figure out how to change people’s habits,” Dr. Curtis said. “We wanted to learn from private industry how to create new behaviors that happen automatically.” The companies that Dr. Curtis turned to — Procter & Gamble, ColgatePalmolive and Unilever — had invested hundreds of millions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers’ lives that corporations could u to introduce new routines.
If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we u every day — chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins — are results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, becau of canny advertisi
ng and public health campaigns, many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavitypreventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of the other brands.
A few decades ago, many people didn’t drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage
