The United States is already one year into a depression That was the news this week from the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research. The downturn is the longest since a depression that began in 1981and lasted sixteen months.
Economists generally wait for production to shrink for six months in a row before they declare a re-cession. But the bureau, a private group, uses a wider set of information to measure the economy. Thenews only confirmed what many people already knew: that the world's largest economy is weak and maynot recover soon.
Worsening conclitions have led to a big drop in spending, especially on costly products like new cars. Even Japanese automaker Toyota saw its sales fall thirty - four percent in the United States in November from a year ago.
The heads of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors retumed to Congress this week to again ask for federal aid.  Congressional leaders denounced(指責(zé)) them two weeks ago after they came in private jets with no clear plans for saving their industry. This time, the chiefs drove to Washington in fuel- saving hybrid vehicles. And their companies presented detailed restructuring plans. The reguest for aid has risen from twenty-five billion dollars two weeks ago to thirty-four billion in loans and credit lines.
G.M. wants almost half of that, and says it needs four billion dollars this month. It warned that without support it cannot continue to operate.
Ford is in a better position, But the sharing of suppliers means it could be affected if G.M. or
Chrysler fails. Ford is asking for a nine billion dollar credit line in case it needs it.
Chrysler is the smallest and most trouble of America's Big Three. It says it needs a seven billion dollar loan by the end of the month.
Two days of congressional hearings began Thursday in the Senate Banking Committee. The chairman, Democrat Chris Dodd, said he would support helping the automakers for the good of the economy.
But the committee's top Republican, Richard Shelby, continued to express opposition to a bailout(賄政援助）．
A main root of the world financial crisis is the weak housing market in the United States. The Trea-sury Department has been under pressure to help troubled homeowners. Now comes news that the depart-ment is developing a plan aimed at reducing interest rates on mortgage loans(汽車(chē)貸款) for some buyers of homes. That could be good for homeowners trying to sell.

The British steamship “Titanic,” sank after striking ice in North Atlantic Ocean, and killed more than 15,000.

The Titanic hearings(聽(tīng)證會(huì)) were conducted by a special subcommittee of the Senate Commerce Committee and chaired by Senator William A. Smith. The hearings began on April 19,1912, at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. A total of 82 witnesses testified(作證) about ice warnings that were ignored, the inadequate number of lifeboats, the ship’s speed, the failure of nearby ships to respond to the Titanic’s distress calls, and the treatment of passengers of different classes. The hearings concluded on May 28, 1912, when Senator Smith visited the Titanic’s sister ship, Olympic, at port in New York, to interview some of its crew. When the Titanic sank, the Olympic was about 500 miles away.

The subcommittee hearing transcripts(手稿), which were published in 1912, are over1,100 pages long. Spawned by the popularity of the movie on the Titanic, a paperback reprint of the hearings was published in 1998 by Pocket Books. This paperback is an exact reprint of the hearing transcripts.

Other congressional documents issued in 1912 as a result of the Titanic investigation include:

·The final report that contains the conclusions about the causes of the disaster.

·The investigative report issued by the British Government.

·A law to award medals of honor to the captain, officers, and crew of the ship Carpathia, which picked up the survivors of the Titanic.

·A law to establish a memorial to Archibald W. Butt and Francis D. Millet, commissioned officers who went down with the sinking of the Titanic.

1．What is the passage mainly about?

       A．Poorer people might have been unfairly treated.

       B．No ship came to rescue the people on Titanic.

       C．Titanic might have been over speed.

       D．Titanic’s officers had thought little of ice warnings.

3．Why did Senator Smith visited the Titanic’s sister ship, Olympic?

       A．Because it picked up the survivors of the Titanic.

       B．Because it was at port in New York.

       C．Because he wanted to know more about Titanic.

       D．Because it was nearby when Titanic sank.

4．What does the underlined word “spawn” most probably mean?

       A．To make a series of things happen.

       B．To make more money from something.

       C．to go along with something.

       D．To put out some heated quarreling.

5．What can we learn from the passage about A.W. Butt and F.D. Millet?

       A．It was their last mission.

       B．They were blamed for the disaster.

       C．They were proud of the ship.
