SINGAPORE—It seems the financial crisis isn’t all hopeless: one in four people are glad the world’s economy turned down like it did, because it helped them realize more in life, according to a global survey. Market research firm Synovate surveyed around 11400 people across the world and found more than half had permanently changed their attitudes toward money over the last 12 months. Another 47 percent, however, said they were looking forward to being able to spend freely again. “The psychology of global depression has changed the way many people do things,” Jenny Chang, managing director in Taiwan (China), said in a statement. “They are making life-changing decisions based on the current global depression, such as postponing marriage, having children, moving house, changing jobs or pursuing higher education. Even in a relatively effect-free economy like Taiwan’s.” A quarter of all respondents led by Malaysians said they were glad the world had an economic crisis as it has helped them realize what’s really important in their lives. Nearly 60 percent said they would try their best to control their spending so that it doesn’t go back to what it used to be before the downturn, and over two-thirds are more interested in increasing their savings than reducing their debt. The majority of respondents—over 80 percent—believed their generation had a responsibility to leave their country better off for the younger generation, even if it involved dramatically changing their lifestyles. With the relatively high unemployment in the US, Synovate’s US-based Claire Peerson Braverman said, Americans who had lost one or more incomes in the family, had to make some of the most difficult decisions concerning money each day. 62. What information did Market research firm Synovate want to get by making the survey? A. The effects of global depression on people’s money and life attitudes. B. The loss people suffered in the global depression. C. The number of people who like global depression. D. The influence of economical crisis on the US. 63. What can be inferred from the article? A. The global depression had no effects on economy in Taiwan of China at all. B. Global depression led some people to give up their higher education. C. More people will spend their money more carefully after the global depression. D. Some people felt glad about the global depression for the benefits it brought them. 64. What does the underlined world “it” in the fifth paragraph refer to? A. Habit of spending money. B. Global depression. C. Responsibility for the country. D. Attitude towards life. 65. What is the theme of this article? A. The economic crisis made more people try to save more money. B. The situation of unemployment in the US became more serious. C. Lots of people put off some important events in their life for the economic crisis. D. Economic crisis helped people change their ideas about money and life. |

The footprints range from 10 to 80 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in length,and belonged to at least six different kinds of dinosaurs,including tyrannosaurs,the report said Saturday.
