But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption（消费）around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor (扶贫) and pro-rural （惠农）policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower-income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11-year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts（救济）to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, "We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor," said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people."To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life," said Qiao Xingsheng, an economic professor.5. Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because ______.A. the poor should get help from the richB. the government should help the richC. the growing economic pie should be shared among the peopleD. the government doesn’t know how to use the money6.

Xing Pu's suggestion ______.A. caused debates on the internetB. was supported by everyone in the countryC. was supported by the governmentD. would be adopted soonCWhen I was 12, I got a part-time job on a dairy farm, milking cows. We milked 65 cows twice a day. One day, I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows, saying it was tiring. He said, you know, boy, to work is a blessing. I looked at the men who'd worked harder. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sunk in.Back then, going to college was a rare privilege. My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing, I'd always look forward to my work. But he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all. I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined a military program tohelp pay for college. And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years.In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with her baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father's words: to work is a blessing.After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh, I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free. They're victims of crime, poor health, and depression. People who have jobs can have a home, send their kids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. When we can work, we are free. We are blessed.9. Which can be the best title of the text?A. My chosen way of lifeB. To work is a blessingC. Why should I workD. Inspiration from a woman10.

What does the writer intend to say through the last paragraph?A. People without jobs could achieve more.B. We should feel fortunate to have a job.C. Freedom is not always free for people.D. Rich people should help those in need.DMalaysia is a country of exciting beauty, with a tropical(热带的) climate. Malaysia’s weather is hotter in the lowlands and cooler in the mountains and highlands.
