13、permarkets. The companys good results in the soft drinks market are partly due to its strategy to limit the impact of seasonality by doing all year round promotions.

19、or each question 23-28 on the opposite page, choose the correct answer. Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. After a good 2003, will 2004 be better? The past year has been a good one for Southeast Asian stocks. Markets in both Singapore and the Philippines have risen by more than 30% in

20、 dollar terms; Indonesia has surged more than 70%; and tigerish Thailand has leapt by almost 130%. Investors, needless to say, are keen to know whether lightning will strike again in the same places in 2004. There is indeed something good in store: elections. The gains of the past year are easy to e

21、xplain. Indonesia, for one, has finally found its feet after years of chaos following the regional crisis in 1997. Inflation and interest rates are failing, and the economy has grown by around 4% in the past year. Thailands economy, meanwhile, has been doing even better. It has grown at an annual ra

22、te of 6.5% in the year as a whole. Because of low interest rates, consumers have been wildly purchasing cars and houses, helping crisis-hit companies pay off their debts and thus improving the balance sheets of Thailands struggling banks. Analysts tell similar tales of asset increase all around the

23、region. Markus Rosgen, of ING, a Dutch bank, notes that Asians have been piling up deposits in their bank accounts since the crisis. With interest rates so low, he argues, they now have an incentive either to consume more or to put their savings into more lucrative investments. Either way, share pri

24、ces should rise. Even now, ail Southeast Asian markets are still well below their pre-crisis highs. Moreover, points out Christopher Wood of CLSA, an investment bank, all Southeast Asian markets except Singapore serve as useful hedges against America, since they do not rise and fall with Wall Street

25、. Unexpected events might yet upset these rosy prospects. There will be elections in the Philippines and Indonesia in 2004, and probably in Malaysia, too. Thailand goes to the polls at the beginning of 2005. Economically corrupted governments, street protests or bombing campaigns are always a possib

26、ility. But the responsible leaders seem likely to get re-elected in all four countries. Furthermore, they will spend a lot of money in the process, out of both the state budget and their own pockets, giving their economies a further boost. As a recent report by ING points out, Indonesian stocks rose

27、 in the nm-up to all of the past three elections. 23 About 2004 investors are eager to learn whether （ A） it is the right time to make investment. （ B） Southeast Asian stocks will be better. （ C） there will be any elections. 24 What has happened in Indonesia in the past year? （ A） There has been cha

28、os following the regional crisis in 1997. （ B） The economy has grown by around 4%. （ C） Both inflation and interest rates have finally risen. 25 The low interest rates made consumers in Thailand （ A） crazily buy cars and houses. （ B） help crisis-hit companies pay off their debts. （ C） improve the ba

29、lance sheets of straggling banks. 26 What conclusion can we get from Markus Rosgens analysis? （ A） Asians have been depositing their money in banks. （ B） Low interests make consumers to buy more or make investment. （ C） Southeast Asian economy is promising. 27 Southeast Asian markets serve as useful

30、 hedges against America because （ A） they do not rise and fall together with Wall Street. （ B） they axe still well below their pre-crisis highs. （ C） share prices should rise. 28 What will give the economy of the four countries a further boost? （ A） corrupted governments, street protests and bombing
