No wonder gold prices have steadied after taking a dive. During the May Day holiday, gold stores were crowded with mostly female customers. Most of them are middle-aged Chinese housewives. This group of buyers has risen to fame recently. They are big spenders and are desperate to get their hands on a bargain. I bought some gold jewellery and kept them as a gift for my son when he gets married, said a buyer from Shanghai. The gold business is skyrocketing. Our sales are growing by the day. Yesterday we sold more than ten million yuan of gold products, a gold store salesperson said. The gold rush in China started about two weeks ago thanks to a decline in global gold prices. Media reports suggest that Chinese housewives have spent about 100 billion yuan, or about 16 billion US dollars, purchasing 300 tons of gold since mid-April. That has helped support gold prices. Gold prices depressed since the middle of last month but have risen gradually. That is mainly due to the strong demand from Asian markets, said foreign trader Zhang Chen from Industrial & Commercial Bank of China. Some people even joked that Chinese housewives have beaten Wall Street analysts. For Chinese people, with limited investment options, the only thing better than buying gold is buying gold at discount prices.41What does the author mean by the underlined sentence of the first paragraph?

DChinas Da Ma become the largest gold buyers due to a decline in global gold prices. 44The authors description about the passage is _. Anegative B. subjective Cdoubtful D. objective BA moment later I heard my uncle calling me, and found the two men on the road together. The captain then addressed me as if I was his equal, which was very pleasing to a young fellow like me.Sir, said he, Mr. Balfour tells me great things of you, and I like your looks. I wish I was staying here longer so that we might become friends. But well make the most of the short time that we have. You must come on board my brig(双桅船) for half an hour and have a drink with me.Now, I cannot describe how eager 1 was to see the inside of a ship. But I was not going to put myself in danger, and I told him my uncle and I had an appointment with a lawyer.Yes, said he, he told me of that. But, you see, the boat will set you on shore farther along, near Rankeillors house. And here he suddenly leaned down and whispered in my ear: Take care; the old devil(恶魔) has evil plans. Come on board till I can have a Word with you.Then, passing his arm through mine, he continued aloud, as he set off towards his boat: Now what can I bring you from Carolina? Any friend of Mr. Balfour can ask for what he likes. A roll of tobacco? Indian feather work? A wild beasts skin? A stone pipe? A mocking-bird that cries just like a cat? Make your choice and give your order.By this time we were beside his boat and he was helping me in. I did not dream of refusing. I thought (like a fool) that 1 had found a friend and helper, and I was looking forward to seeing the ship. As soon as we were all in our places the boat was pushed off and began to move over the water. I was so delighted with this new experience that I hardly understood what the captain said, and must have answered him without thinking.As soon as we were alongside, Hoseason ordered a rope and chair to be sent down, declaring that he and I must be the first to go on board. I was lifted into the air and set down again on the deck(甲板), where the captain stood waiting for me and immediately slipped his arm under mine. I stood there, rather confused and perhaps a little afraid, but delighted with the strange things all around me, while the captain pointed out some of the strangest and told me their names and uses.And then I saw that my uncle was not with us.I felt I was lost. With all my strength, I tore myself out of the captains grasp and ran to the side of the ship. Yes, there was the ship being rowed back to the shore, with my uncle sitting in it. I gave a wild cry-so loud that it rang out over the harbor, and my uncle turned around and showed me a face full of cruelty and terror.That was the last thing I saw. Already strong hands had been pulling me back from the ships side, and now lightning seemed to strike me. I saw a great flash of fire, and fell unconscious.45.

When we are young, it is important to us to be accepted by others. To do this, we will often adopt the views and interests of the others rather than develop our own. Over time, however, we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves. People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to impress other people. They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others. Less confident people constantly agree with everything others suggest, for fear of having their own ideas rejected. Defensive people are also usually unconfident; in an attempt to hide their unconfidence, they blame others. Confident people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation; they say I can rather than I cant. Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships, and great happiness, they always put their best foot forward. Gradually they can appreciate the differences between themselves and other people. Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves helps us grow personally, so why waste energy complaining about being short? Instead of focusing on personal characteristics w
