Global Unemployment Concerns Rise
As the latest U.S. corporate earnings reports start to come out, overseas markets are bracing for some difficult numbers.
Overall weak economic indicators coupled with depressed corporate data are seen as the main obstacles blocking a sustained rally in shares over the coming weeks and months.
Asian markets down
In Asia, Japan’s market was closed Monday for a national holiday but elsewhere, there was not much to be optimistic about.
Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index was down for a fifth straight day, dropping nearly three
percent. The South Korean market lost two percent, dragged down by an announcement by carmaker Hyundai that it would cut production by at least 25 percent at its domestic plants.
Here in Europe, similar worries kept most shares on the downside with large energy
stocks taking the biggest hits as crude oil fell below the $40-a-barrel mark.
US unemployment rate also troublesome
Meanwhile, rising unemployment in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world is forcing some governments to act now. Here in Britain, Prime Minister Gordon Brown has pledged
to spend at least $750 million to try to stem growing unemployment caused by the world financial crisis.
“It is our determination that Britain can lead the world in showing what we can do to help those who become unemployed and what we can also do to create the jobs of the future. And I believe we can do it working in partnership. Britain works best when Britain works together and I believe that we can show this in the partnership to create jobs.”
Brown determined to keep British jobless rate under control
Speaking at a meeting of British business and union leaders, Brown said he was
determined to not let unemployment spiral out of control.
“We will be able to help 500,000 people into work or work-focused training over the next two years. Now, I believe that by acting together and working together, we can help
families and businesses through the downturn and at the same time and by the same
measures, we can also secure our future competitiveness as a global economy.”
He reiterated that providing training now for the jobs of the digital future when the
downturn is over is the correct way to proceed.
But not everyone here agrees with his spending plans. Opposition leader David Cameron
says rapidly-rising government debt will unduly burden the next generation of taxpayers.

1.Exercise 1: Listening for Specific Facts: Listen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true, F for false.
Experts Debate Merits of Spending to Boost US Economy
The president-elect said only government can provide the short-term boost necessary to
lift the economy out of deep recession. In a January 10 radio address, Mr. Obama said his
plan to inject billions of dollars into the economy will create from three to four million new
jobs over two years.
"90 percent of these jobs will be created in the private sector. The remaining 10 percent are mainly public sector jobs we save, like the teachers, police officers, firefighters and
others who provide vital services to our communities," he said.
The Obama stimulus plan will be a combination of government spending and tax cuts,
proposals that will soon be debated in congress. A year ago the Bush administration and Congress implemented a much smaller $168 billion stimulus that did boost economic growth for a short time, before the economy resumed the slide that began in December
2007. That first stimulus plan, combined with big spending on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan has pushed the government budget into deep deficit. Even before the planned Obama stimulus, the U.S. government was projected to be incurring a $1.2
trillion-dollar deficit in the current fiscal year. That is an amount equal to eight percent of economic output. Kevin Hasset, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, believes government spending is out of control.
"The deficit next year, if we pass the Obama stimulus plan, will be larger than the size of government when Bush was elected, in nominal dollar terms," he said.
Martin Baily, chief economist to former President Bill Clinton, worries whether foreigners
will continue to buy the Treasury debt needed to fund the rapidly growing government deficit.
"I think that is a danger. I said at the beginning of my comments that it is quite uncertain where the economy is going. It is possible that it will turn around more quickly and strongly
than, say, the current [Bush] administration's economic advisors think it will. In which case, the Fed [central bank] will be, you know, as scrambling like crazy. There's a sort of rein back in some of this money that it has put out there," said Baily.
At a conference about the stimulus plan on Monday, speakers including Hassett and Baily, expressed concern about the eventual inflationary impact of both greatly increased government spending and rapid increases in the money supply. Most economists,
however, agree that the unprecedented severity of the credit squeeze and global slowdown requires extraordinary measures to maintain consumer purchasing power.

Data last week showed new yuan lending _____3. ____ to a record 1.62 trillion yuan in January.

题目:1.
文本:
Stocks Slide 2.9% on Loan Probe Jitters
The mainland stock market fell sharply yesterday, with real estate shares leading the
drop, as reports that the banking regulator was investigating a jump in companies' bill
financing made investors nervous.
The Shanghai Composite Index slid 2.93 percent to 2319.441 points in hectic trade. It
had risen 2.96 percent to a five-month high on Monday, bringing its gains this year to 31
percent.
Turnover in Shanghai A shares remained very heavy at 168.8 billion yuan, though it was down from 177.5 billion yuan on Monday, when full-day turnover neared levels last
seen during the stock market bubble of 2007.
Data last week showed new yuan lending soared to a record 1.62 trillion yuan in January. The news accelerated the stock market’s uptrend by fuelling hopes that economic growth might soon start to recover.
But 39 percent of the new loans were in the form of short-term discounted bill financing,
up from an average 13 percent in 2008. Some analysts believe much of the money raised via bill financing went to chase short-term profits in the stock market, rather than into
long-term investment in companies' operations as authorities hope.
The banking regulator is investigating the jump in discounted bill financing, fearing it could create excessive risks, China Business News reported on Monday.
Vanke, China's biggest listed property developer, tumbled 5.05 percent to 8.08 yuan amid concern that authorities could become less willing to cut interest rates further if they felt that the discounted bill and stock markets were overheating.
Hong Kong shares slid 3.8 percent yesterday, its biggest percentage drop in more than five weeks, after the Shanghai bourse broke its long-running rally.
Worries about slowing corporate earnings and likely capital raising weighed on shares across the board, with four stocks in the red for every one in the black.
The benchmark Hang Seng Index ended 510.48 points lower at 12945.40 with investors fretting over a likely weak start on Wall Street later.

2.Passage Two Blank Filling: Listen to the passage, and fill in the blanks with the
missing information.
题目:1.Not on ________ payment, a whole house for a grand.
文本:
How about a House for a Thousand Bucks?
How about a house for a thousand bucks? Not on monthly payment, a whole house for a grand. It may sound unbelievable, but it's happening in some cities due to the explosion
in foreclosures. Now they may not be pretty or in the best part of town, but some sellers
just want them off their books.
Take this one in Detroit, a three-bed, one-bath bungalow with about a thousand square feet, of course, it needs a total renovation inside but the exterior, well, it's in fairly good
shape, the price tag, that looks even better, it's just 500 bucks. Or this home in Cleveland,
a four-bed, one-and-a half bath selling for 1900 bucks. For the same amount you could
get this house in Birmingham, Alabama. It's had major fire damage but it's located on a
public road and sits on about a third of an acre.
To be sure, you will have to put more than a thousand bucks into these homes to bring
them up to code. But four walls and a roof for about a grand, that may make a lot of sense
to folks these days. But as always, be careful at what you buy.
