Questions are based on the following passage．
The housing market exited the trauma ward （急救室） in 2013. Prices rose as muchas 30 percent in some areas， bidding wars broke out and the foreclosure rate （丧失赎取权率 ） halved from its peak. But the patient is by no means fully recovered. In fact， fiveyears after the housing bubble collapsed， one in five mortgage holders still owe more thantheir home is worth.
At its worst in early 2012， almost 16 million Americans were under water on theirmortgage. In some of the hardest hit neighborhoods， such as Las Vegas， Phoenix， andDetroit，70 percent of homeowners owed more than the value of their home. Since then，rising home prices have pushed 5 million homeowners back into the black， but 11 millionout of a total of 50 million mortgage holders remain in what financial folks call a negativeequity （负资产） position. "This is the new normal in the housing market，" said SvenjaGudell， director of economic research at Zillow， an online real estate database， "We willhave high levels of negative equity for some time."
With mortgage rates rising and expected to hit 5 percent late next year， manyeconomists predict a more subdued （萧条的 ） housing market in 2014. That means pricegains should moderate and it could take a while longer for homeowners who are underwater to recover. Out of the 75 million homeowners in America， about one in seven staytrapped in their homes， unable to move or sell.
Housing prices have gone up and down over the decades， but until the financial crisisof 2008， it was rare to owe a bank more than a home is worth. For all of the 19th centuryand even during the Great Depression， this was virtually unheard of.
Until all the negative equity disappears， the housing market won"t be back to normal.It looks like we still have years to go.
Why doesn‘t the author think the housing market is fully recovered？ 查看材料
A.In some places， housing prices rose as much as 30%.
B.There were bidding wars broke out frequently.
C.The foreclosure rate halved from its peak.
D.Some homeowners owe more than the value of their home.
Why the War Against Terror Will Boost the Economy
There is still a lot of uncertainty about how the U.S. economy. To analyze the likely economic impact of the war, I think of the current action as analogous to U.S. wars of the past. My main conclusion is that the current war will be expansionary and will, therefore, help the U.S. economy recover from its current slowdown.
If we consider World War Ⅱ , Korea, and Vietnam, we have examples of Large, medium, and small wars. In World War Ⅱ, peak military spending in 1944 was 60% to 70% of prewar gross domestic product. During the Korea War, spending peaked at around 11% of GDP in 1952, and during the Vietnam War, it peaked at about 2% of GDP in 1968. The evidence is that economic activity expanded during each war but by less than the amount of wartime spending. My estimate is that each ＄ 1 worth of military outlays led to a 60￠ to -70￠ increase in GDP. To put it another way, while military spending raised output, there was no free lunch. The spending had to be paid for by decreases in other forms of spending, especially business investment (and by more work effort).
The economic effect of the Gulf War is harder to isolate because military spending rose by only about 0.3% of GDP. The economy was in a recession in 1990, before the war started in January, 1991. Economic growth resumed by the second quarter of 1991 but remained low until 1992. The analysis from the other three wars suggests that little of the recovery stemmed from the Gulf War.
Spending Hikes. For the current war effort, if we sum up the likely near-term added expenditures for the military, domestic security, and reconstruction of New York City, we get at least 1% of GDP. This calculation is likely to underestimate added wartime spending because we will probably also see a long-term reversal of the "peace dividend" that resulted from the end of the cold war. During the Clinton Administration, from the end of 1991 to the end of 2000, defense outlays fell from 6.2 % of GDP to 3.8 % (and the number of military personnel declined by around 1 million).
Given the insecurity of the post-September 11 world, I would expect a long-lasting increase in defense spending. If the U.S. responds as it did during the Reagan Administration's defense buildup of the early 1980s, defense spending would rise another 1% to 1.5 % of the GDP over a one-to-two-year period. Thus, the overall spending stimulus from the war on terror will likely be similar to the extra 2% of GDP that was expended at the peak of the Vietnam War. Using the kind of economic response mentioned before, where GDP rose by 60￠ to 70￠ for each dollar of military outlay, this stimulus is likely to help the economy avoid a recession in 2002.
Not all aspects of wars are favorable to economic activity, of course. Consumers' perceived increased risk of flying, for example, lowers the demand for air travel, and the perceived higher risk of terrorism likely reduces business investment. However, negative effects were also present in previous wars, including Worries about Japanese invasion of the U.S. mainland during World War Ⅱ and about Soviet missiles during the cold war. Nevertheless, the net effects of previous wars on U.S. GDP turned out to be positive.
No Bailouts Needed. One concern about the current situation is all the nonsensical proposals in Washington for fiscal stimulus beyond the expenditures for national security and the reconstruction of New York. It seems reasonable to regard security in airports and on airplanes as public goods that should be supervised and perhaps partly financed by the federal government. But there is no economic rationale for general bailouts or subsidies of airlines, insurance companies, the steel industry, agriculture, and so on. After all, it is not only, during tranquil times that we ought to rely on free markets rather t

The sense of honor appears to be dying.
In World War II men died more or less willingly for the nation and the nation's honor, and they were honored for it in return. Now we have become cynical about such things, the nation lies, fights unjustifiable wars; the nation suffer a breach in the honor code.
At my college the students used to agree to inform. on their friends rather than suffer a breach in the honor code.A sense of honor is a sense that there 'me standards of behavior. one must live up to, even at the cost of one's per send happiness, even at the Cost of one's life. Without such a sense one has to make up one's rights and wrongs as one goes along——usually, as it happens, to one's own advantage. Morality thereby becomes a matter of expediency: nothing seems worth dying for, and life loses its beauty and some of its value.
Our recent history has deprived us of models. I cherish the story of John Stubbs, a Puritan divine of Queen Elizabeth's time who strongly opposed her projected marriage to the Duke of Alencon. Stubbs knew the penalty for doing so, which was the loss of a hand; nevertheless, he published, and led out for public execution of the sentence. Stubbs laid his right hand on the block, the ax fell, and he rose to his feet, lifted the bloody stump high in the air, and cried out to the crowd, "Long live the Queen!"
In spite of the blood and the horror, it is the beauty of such an act that stands out. A man lives UP to his beliefs; he acts with courage and great style. and literally gives of himself in the service of something he feels is greater than himself. We cannot help but honor him, whether we agree with his beliefs or not.

A．earlier in this century, giving one's life for one's country was not considered an honorable thing to do
B．in the author's college days, students valued honor more than loyalty to one another
C．the author admires John Stubbs for his courage in objecting to the Queen's marriage
D．the author himself is a person with the highest sense of honor
A、the Wars of the Roses
B、the Wars of the Lilies
C、the Wars of the flowers
D、the Wars of the grass
We had an honour code when I went to college; that was in the late 1950s. During exams no one monitored you: instructors came in, handed out the blue books, handed out the exams, and left. During the four years I was there, I can recall only one case of cheating. Students simply did not break the code.
