The US Commerce Departmen（t 商务部）reports in its first estimate of economic performance for the January to March quarter, that the US economy contracted at a bigger than forecasted annual rate—6.1 percent.This is the second three month period in which the economy shrank at a more than six percent annual rate.The rate of decline was more than financial markets had expected.But despite that, stock prices rallied（恢复）Wednesday as analysts found positive elements to the otherwise grim（糟糕的）report.These included a slight increase in consumer spending and a replenishment（补充）of business inventories.The International Monetary Fund（国际货币基金组织）last week forecast that the US economy would contract by 2.8 percent this year, after expanding by about one percent last year.The US recession, which began in December 2007, is the most severe since the Second World War.背景导读

美国商务部2009 年4 月29 日表示，美国第一季度GDP 季度调整后年降6.1%，经济学家预期值为下降4.6%。美国第一季度经济下滑几乎没有改善，企业削减开支和库存，表明衰退并未如预期那样放缓。

Indications that unemployment continues to rise is grim news for leaders heading to the G-20 summit（20 国集团峰会）in the United States next week.The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development（经济合作与发展组织）reports unemployment reached its highest level among industrialized nations of 8.5 percent in July.OECD unemployment pision chief Stephan Scarpetta says the number of jobless among the OECD’s 30 member countries is expected to climb even higher next year, to nearly 10 percent.That translates into 57 million people out of work.The United States, Spain and Ireland are among those countries with the fastest rising unemployment.All three were affected by the collapse of high housing prices.The damage spread to other sectors of the economy.Scarpetta says young people are among the hardest hit.In Spain, for example, more than one in three young workers are unemployed.背景导读

经济合作与发展组织2009 年9 月份报告说，工业化国家的失业率仍在增加，而且有可能在明年达到近10%的历史最高水平，尽管不断有报道说，很多工业化国家正在走出几十年来最严重的经济危机。各国政府虽然扩大和延长了失业补贴的发放，并且提供了更多的就业咨询和培训，但是这些措施并没有缓解失业人口的增加。

It was my turn.I had a deep breath and then ran towards.In front of the pole, I began to jump.Oh, no!My right foot hit the pole.“I failed.” I thought.And then, another unlucky thing happened.I didn't stand firm and I tumbled.I hurt my back badly.At that moment I felt my back was broken.It was too painful.It seemed that the people around field all didn't know that, they only laughed at my foolish posture.After a very short rest, I stood up.I push my pain back and then went out of the field with my red face.My friend

hurried to come to me.He asked me if this was terrible.I was too pained with my back to answer his questions.I only shook my head.I was sad.Not only I had hurt my back but also I couldn't go on in the game.I had to see the others jump and wish them to get a good place.Though I didn't have the whole game.I was still very happy.Because a lot of my classmates tried their best in the game and they got a lot of good places.They were all best in my eyes.I was thankful to them for doing their best for our class.关于运动的英语小短文篇2

How a Colt Crossed the River One day, a colt took a bag of wheat to the mill.As he was running with the bag on his back, he came to a small river.The colt could not decide whether he could cross it.Looking around, he saw a cow grazing nearby.He asked, “Aunt Cow, could you tell me if I can cross the river?” The cow told him that he could and that the river was not very deep, just knee high.The colt was crossing the river when a squirrel jumped down fron a tree and stopped him.The squirrel shouted, “Colt, stop!You’ll drown!One of my friends drowned just yesterday in the river.” Not knowing what to do, the colt went home to consult his mum.He told his mum his experience on the way.His mother said, “My child, don’t always listen to others.You’d better go and try yourself.Then you’ll know what to do.” Later, at the river,the squirrel stopped the colt again.“Little horse, it’s too dangerous!” “No, I want to try myself,” answered the colt.Then he crossed the river carefully.You see, real knowledge comes from practice.中文翻译：

小马过河

一天，一匹小马驮着麦子去磨坊。当它驮着口袋向前跑去时，突然发现一条小河挡住了去路。小马为难了，这可怎么办呢？它向四周望了望，看见一头奶牛在河边吃草。小马问道：“牛阿姨，请您告诉我，这条河我能趟过去吗？”奶牛回答说：“水很浅，刚到膝盖。”

小马正准备过河，突然从树上跳下一只松鼠，拦住它大叫道：“小马，别过河！你会被淹死的。昨天，我的一个伙伴就在这条河里淹死啦！”小马不知如何是好，于是决定回家问问妈妈。

小马把路上的经历告诉了妈妈。妈妈说：“孩子，光听别人说是不行的，你自己亲自去试一试，就知道答案了。”小马回到河边，刚要下水，松鼠又大叫起来：“小马，你不要命啦？”小马说：“让我自己试试吧。”他一面回答一面下了河，小心地趟了过去。

这下明白了吧，实践才能出真知

The Fox and the Tiger(狐狸和老虎)An Archer, hunting in the woods, was so successful with his arrows that he killed many of the wild animals.This frightened the rest so much that they ran into the densest part of the bushes to hide.At last the Tiger stood up, and pretending to be very brave, told the other animals not to be afraid anymore, but to rely on his courage, and he would attack the enemy on his own.While he was talking, and lashing his tail and tearing at the ground with his claws to impress the others, an arrow came and pierced his ribs.The Tiger howled with pain.While he was trying to draw out the arrow with his teeth the Fox went up to him and asked, in surprise, whoever had the strength and courage to wound such a brave and mighty beast as the Tiger?

“Nay,” said the Tiger, “I misjudged my enemy.It was that unbeatable man over there!”

狐狸和老虎

一个射手正在森林里打猎。他的箭法好极了，射死了许多野兽。这可大大地吓坏了余下的动物，它们都跑到最茂盛的灌木丛中躲藏起来。最后，老虎站了起来，装着非常勇敢的样子叫其余的动物相信它的勇敢，不必再害怕。它将独个儿向敌人进攻。它一边说着，一边甩动着它的尾巴，并用它的爪子刨着地上的泥土，想使别人更信任它。就在这时，一枝箭飞来，刺穿了他的肋骨，老虎顿时痛得吼叫起来。

正当它尽力用牙齿拔出身上的箭时，狐狸走上前来吃惊地问道：“谁能有这样的力气和胆量来伤害象老虎这样勇敢而强有力的野兽呢？”

“不，”老虎说，“我错误地判断了我的敌人，是那边那个不可战胜的人打败了我。”
