18、p of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase which is divided into two partsrecovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is a growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expand. Many kinds
19、of important improvements are made. People hold increasingly positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy“ industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As more economy departments develop, other departments are affected. For
20、 example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are activated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials. This increases the a
21、mount of goods bought and sold. This prosperity can be seen among the various parts of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards, it is the end of the expansion phase. 36 Which of the following

26、 good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreove
27、r, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends.

28、ork well with others, including those people you dont like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one s country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots“ by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fi
