cet-6lindaguTradition,culture对于中国人来说，新年无疑是一年中最重要的喜庆节日。它代表着旧的一年平安过去了，人们准备迎接新的一年。人们通常如何庆祝新年？首先多代同堂的家庭成员，齐聚家中享受一顿丰富的团聚饭。除夕夜的团聚饭是整个年头最具意义的一餐。团聚饭显示了家庭的重要地位。其次，亲戚挚友之间也会新高彩烈互访。这样的庆祝方式，有助于加强亲情和友情。新年价值观，是对家庭和亲属关系的重视，包括对父母和长者的敬重。没有了这些观念，新年将沦为一个毫无意义的商业化节日。1

旅游业是香港经济的主要支柱之一，去年香港旅游业总收入高达640亿港元。旅游业从业人员占劳动人口的10%。为了保持香港国际旅游城市的地位，特区政府已实行了一系列措施，开发新的旅游景点和产品。同时，我们还致力于改善服务质量，使游客在香港逗留期间能始终得到满足的照看。随着中国经济的蓬勃发展和实际收入的增加，越来越多的内地居民来香港旅游购物，我们将为内地游客供应全方位的服务。1ThetourismindustryisoneofthemajorpillarsofHongKong’seconomy.Lastyear,totaltourismreceiptsamountedto64billionHongKongDollars.Peopleworkinginthetravelandtourismsectorsaccountfor10%ofthelaborforce..InordertomaintainHongKong’spositionasaninternationaltouristcity,theGovernmentoftheHongKongSpecialAdministrativeRegionhasadoptedaseriesofmeasurestodevelopnewtouristattractionsandproducts.Meanwhile,wearecommittedtoimprovingthequalityofservicetolookaftertouristspropertyduringtheirstayinHongKong.Withtherapidgrowthofthemainlandeconomyandthenetincreaseinpeople’sincome,moreandmorepeoplefromtheMainlandarecomingtoHongKongforavisitanddoshopping.Wewillprovidethemwithexcellentserviceinanall-roundway中美两国在经济发展和结构存在极大的差异，在人力资源、市场、资金、技术等方面具有很强的互补性。中美建交以来，贸易额增长了85倍，美国成为中国其次大贸易伙伴，中国成为美国第三大贸易伙伴。美国是中国最大的外资来源地之一。截止2006年10月底，美国实际对华投入资金超过500亿美元。同时，中国企业对美国投资进入快速增长期。今年1月至9月，有107家中国企业在美国投资兴业。2ChinaandtheUSdiffergreatlyintermsofeconomicdevelopmentandstructure,butarestronglycomplementarywitheachotherinhumanresources,market,capitalandtechnologies.SinceChina’sestablishmentofdiplomaticrelationswiththeUS,Sino-UStradehasincreasedby85folds.AmericahasbecomeChina’ssecondlargesttradingpartnerandChinahasbecomeAmerica’sthirdlargesttradingpartner.TheUSisoneofChina’slargestforeigninvestmentsources.BytheendofOctober2006,theUShasmadeanactualinvestmentofoverUS$50billioninChina.Meanwhile,Chinesecompanies’investmentintheUShasbeguntotakeoff.BetweenJanuaryandSeptemberthisyear,107ChinesecompaniesinvestedintheUSandsetuptheirownbusinessthere.过去7年中，中国的房地产业阅历了前所未有的泡沫现象和过热问题。以上海为例，7年前，上海市房屋均价仅为每平米4000元左右，然而7年后的今日则已飙升至8600元。这个价格对于那些月薪不足四千但渴望在上海拥有一套属于自己的风光 、舒适的栖身之所的工薪阶层来说是无法承受的负担。鉴于此，上海市政府近
