Don't ______ this news to the public until we give you the go-head.

After ______ seemed an endless wait, it was her turn to step into the doctor's office.

The National Day holiday is round the corner and, if things go like last year, this fall's 'Golden Week' too will be a 'golden mess'. While many Chinese are going to opt for 'staycations' (stay at home) during the holiday, a large number will combine the long break with paid holidays to head overseas to avoid the travel madness in the country. 41 . During his recent visit to the Maldives, President Xi Jinping said: 'We should also educate our citizens to be civilized when traveling abroad. Don't litter water bottles, don't destroy their coral reef. Eat less instant noodles and more local seafood.' The remark, although made in a lighter vein, partly reflects the growing number of complaints against Chinese tourists. 42 . However, if some countries and regions use false cases to demonize(妖魔化) Chinese mainland tourists, they will suffer a big loss. Foreign destinations are courting big-spending Chinese tourists. Harrods in London now has 100 Union Pay terminals scattered throughout the store and is recruiting Mandarin-speaking staff to serve Chinese tourists—Paris-based luxury goods store Printemps has been doing the same. In Canada, ski resorts are scrambling to hire Mandarin-speaking ski instructors --some 5-10 million Chinese now go skiing, compared with just 10,000 in 1998. 43 . While some government officials did exploit their positions to travel abroad and splurge on luxury goods, with about 100 million Chinese now traveling overseas, such officials' share of outbound Chinese tourism and spending is certainly miniscule. With China set to institute far-reaching financial reform, the yuan is likely to appreciate in the long-term. 44 . These budget travelers will go overseas not so much to shop, but to experience foreign cultures and natural sceneries. This is not to say that Chinese overseas tourists will soon cease being the goose that lays the golden egg for those who cater to them in overseas travel destinations. But the golden eggs will become, at least on a per capita basis, considerably smaller as the share of big spenders who have driven up that average falls. That is all for the best. 45 . A. It will surely be a great day for China's overseas image when its citizens traveling abroad are appreciated not just for their role in boosting local economies, but for their interest and engagement in local cultures as well. B. The Chinese leadership's crackdown on corrupt officials is unlikely to curb the spending of Chinese people traveling abroad. C. A much more important factor that could slow the growth of aggregate spending by China's outbound tourists is the shift in the kind of Chinese traveling abroad. D. This calls for tourism authorities to take strict measures to ensure that Chinese tourists respect the norms and cultures of the countries and/or regions they visit. E. The huge expansion of China's outbound tourism has created a bonanza(财源) for retailers and service providers in foreign tourism hotspots. F. That development, combined with the growth of the middle class and improved air transportation, will further increase the numbers of less affluent outbound tourists. G. Things seem to be in favor of this group, because the yuan is once again on the rise and popular tourist destinations abroad are typically less crowded in early October.

His sister left home in1998，and ______ since.

Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the 'typical' Frenchman produces more, earns more and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that 'assembly-line life' will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely (but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life—to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local care? Since the late 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive, goods oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modern economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modem, industrial France is preferable to the old.
