To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than that in the United States. This shows that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate(房地产) market, the International Finance News reported.. Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted (兑换) to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US. The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles .Moreover ,Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in the Us in terms of building quality ,environment and supporting facilities .Furthermore ,it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people .How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US? At the beginning of 2007 , Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public .Now in order to reduce the high housing prices ,the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans(贷款) and lands to property developers .At the same time ,the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund--raising channels ,such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units .By applying these by multiple(多样的) ways, it is expected that the high housing prices per square meter can be lowered. 56.According to the passage, what is the average housing price per square meter in China?

Two B Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world. I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not even really a campus. It’s more like a district in a small town. Harvard’s main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they’re a little shabby. They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast(对照) and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?” I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the chirping(鸟叫声) of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. (责任编辑：admin) |
