In China, it stands for the nationwide one-week holiday starting from October lstfthe National Day). The government established the week-long holiday back in 1999 tostimulate domestic spending. Tour operators, retailers, and wedding halls have been cashingin ever since.However, there are shifting perspectives about holiday economy. Many people, includingsome economists, think positively about holiday economy. They believe that tourism-dholiday economy has increased consumption and helped to spur the domestic demands.

Every graduate faces this question when he starts his career. A large number of college graduates prefer to stay in the big cities. To them, big cities mean more experiences, more opportunities to see the big world and more space for career development. At the same time, higher salary is another temptation.But some other graduates want to start in small towns. Even though there may not be many big companies, they can have a quieter and less competitive life. Another reason is that they can be a big fish in a small pond. They can easily get the management' s attention and may win promotion earlier.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to start in a metropolis like Shanghai. A good begin is half the battle, and in Shanghai I can find a job in a big company where I can meet people from different places and cultures. I will learn from them what I can not get from textbooks.【预测题目】道德滑坡1.现在社会道德滑坡现象严重，比如……2.我认为应该如何改变这一现状【参考范文】Decline in MoralsIn modern society, the decline in morals isbecoming more and more severe.
