There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the【 42】 feeling. Tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth
37、when they are angry. This is probably【 43】 such behavior patterns are inherited rather than【 44】 . Fear is another emotion that is shown in【 45】 the same way all over the world.

43、mic growth and its first-round entry into a single-currency Europe all but certain. Continued wrangling over welfare reform is a potential stumbling block in the new year, but Italy appears to be on its way to a lasting recovery. The growth speedup began in the second quarter of 1997, but the pace h
44、as been exaggerated by government incentives to spur auto sales. Third-quarter real gross domestic product grew 1. 9% from a year ago, and given the jump in October industrial production, fourth-quarter GDP should reach 296. Although growth is expected to ease hack in the first half of 1998, as the
45、auto-led boom wanes, several key factors will fuel continued growth. First, short-term interest rates have fallen 5 percentage points in the past two years, reflecting inflations drop from 6 % to 1.6% in November. Further cuts in official rates are expected after passage of the 1998 budget by year e
46、nd 1997, as Italy aligns its rates with those across Europe prior to monetary union. Official rates are expected to drop from 6. 25% currently to 4. 5% or less during the first half, supplying a big boost to domestic demand.

Morgan & Co. The lira should remain stable, and the downdraft from its steep appreciation in 1995 and 1996
48、 is fading. Even with growth set to pick up, inflation in 1998 should remain within the Bank of Italys 2% target, especially with joblessness expected to remain above 12%, and with wage growth set to slow. Because 1997 inflation came in less than the governments target, contractual wage adjustments
49、for 1998 will adjust downward, reflecting the undershoot, from about 4% in 1997. Slower wage growth also will help the 1998 budget deficit to dip below 3% of GDP.
