0.5A:bef:ore:B:f:oil:owed:market.Mr.Verhofstadt thinks that last autumn Mr.Barroso shouldhaveproposed suchthings as a singleEU financial regulator,a singleEuropean badbank,or amulti-trillion issueof Eurobonds.That would have triggeredabig fightwith nationalgovernments,he concedes.But maybethe outcomewouldhave been10%,20%or30%ofhis plan.The French president,Nicolas Sarkozy,has endorseda secondtenn forMr.Barroso,a formercentre-right primeminister ofPortugal.Yet heseems keento makehim sweat.French officialshavebriefed that the decisionon Mr.Barrosos futuretaken at the June18th-19th summitshouldbe onlypolitical,leaving alegally bindingnomination forlater.Yet theattacks onMr.Barroso areunlikely to block him.No opinionpoll shows the PESovertakingthe centre-right EuropeanPeoples Party in the European Parliament.The centre-right leaders who holdpower inmost ofEurope haveendorsed Mr.Barroso,as havethenominally centre-left leaders of Britain,Spain andPortugal.This helps to explainwhy thePES,for allits bluster,has notfielded acandidate againstMr.Barroso.It isequally wrongto pretendthat Europewas ready for afederalist bigbang last autumn.Officials sayMr.Barroso spentthe firstweeks of the economiccrisis bridgingdifferencesbetween Britain and Franceon suchissues as accounting standards and theregulation ofratingagencies.Later,he keptthe peacebetween Mr.Sarkozy and the Germanchancellor,Angela Merkel,after the Frenchpresidentpushed forsummits ofEU leaders from euro-areacountries Ms Merkel thoughtthat soundedlikeatwo-speed Europe.In anycase Francehasno vetoover Mr.Barrosos reappointment:the decisionis nowtaken by majority vote.Somediplomats suggestthat Francesstalling tactics are meantto extractsuch concessions as aplumportfolio for its commissioner.Those callingfor Europeanaction oftentalk as if they are describingan elegant mechanism,needed to make theunion workproperly.They arguethat only a singlefinancialregulatorcanpolice Europessingle market,or complainthat27national bail-out planslack coherence.Infact,these apparentlystructural calls for moreEurope arepitches forspecific ideologicalprogrammes.Thus,in ajoint statementon May30th Mr.Sarkozy andMsMerkelannouncedthat Liberalismwithout ruleshas failed.They calledfor aEuropean economicmodel inwhichcapital servesentrepreneurs andworkers rather than speculators,and hedgefunds andbankers pay aretightly regulated.They addedthat competitionpolicies shouldbe usedtofavour theemergence ofworld-class Europeancompanies,and gavewarning against abureaucratic Europethat blindly applies pernicketyrules.If allthis soundslike Europeas agiantRhineland economy,that is no accident.Mr.Verhofstadt,a continentalliberal,means somethingdifferent by Europe Heagrees thatthecrisis represents the crashof the Anglo-American model.But he is notkeen onheavyregulation.When hecalls foreconomic policies to reflectEuropesway ofthinking,hemeans thingslike raisingsavings.Above all,he considers the nation-state to be incapableofmanaging todays globalised economy,so Europemust takeover.This isfighting talk.Britain,notably,does not accept thateverything about theAnglo-Saxon modelhas failed,noris itabout to cede morepower toBrussels.And ithas allies,notably ineastern Europe.分]Line5[2A:B:a:rroso ad:opts policie:s tha:ta:re:in:fa:vour of:ma:rke:t ec:on:om:y ra:the:r than:social:welfa:re:.B:B:a:rroso d:oe:sn:ot ca:re:ab:out E:uropean:pe:ople:.C:B:a:rroso sugge:sts E:U e:stabli:sh:m:ore:ma:rke:ts f:or the:c:on:venience:of:E:uropean:pe:ople:.D:B:a:rroso i:sthe:owne:r of:man:yma:rke:ts in:E:urope:.答案A:B:a:rroso ad:opts policie:s tha:ta:re:in:fa:vour of:ma:rke:t ec:on:om:yra:the:r than:social:welfa:re:.分]

8.The arrivalof economicrecessiononly deepenedthe gloom:to credit-crunched consumers,shrubs andhanging basketsseemedobvious candidatesfor cuts.Yet thelatest figuresfrom theHorticultural TradesAssociation HTAsuggest abumper yearforgarden-related expenditureis in the making.Sales volumeswere upby21%in March and28%in Aprilcompared with the samemonths a year earlier.This wasnot the result ofdeepdiscounting,a strategythat manyother retailershave been adopting.The valueof gardengoodssold was37%higher inMarchand42%higher in April thanayearearlier,whereas thevalueof allsales hadincreased byjust3%inApril.Datamonitor,a marketresearchfirm,reckons thatgardening willcontinue tooutperform therest ofretailing for at leastthe nexttwoyears.Much of the goodnews isdue to the weather,admits TimBriercliffe,the HTAsdirector ofbusinessdevelopment.Last yearthe vitalspring monthswere dampand miserable;this yearsunshineand weathermensprediction of a hotsummer hasboosted custom.But theeconomicdownturn itselfhas turnedout to be as much ablessing as a curse.Gardening maybea luxury,argues Mr.Briercliffe,but it competes withother,more expensiveluxuries.Peoplewho mighthave otherwisebooked acity breakto Pragueare stayingat homeand makingthebest ofwhat theyhave,he maintains.According toIpsos MORI,a pollster,three-quarters ofpeopleplan to spend atleast as much ontheir gardenthis yearas last.Economic hardshiphas created a newbreed ofgardener too.Partly,that reflectspeoplemaking the most of their enforcedleisure:We getsome unemployedcity typeswho arejustfilling timewhile looking for anotherjob,admits agarden-centre workernear theLondoncommuter townof Guilford.But thereare morepositive developments.Much of the growthingarden spendinghas come from theunder-35s,not traditionallya greenfingereddemographic.One explanationis thatenvironmentalism andthriftiness havemade growingvegetablestrendy,an ideathat issupported bygrowing shortageof allotments.But thereis moretoitthan pleasantweather andbelt-tightening.The HTAdetects deeper,and darker,changes in the nationalpsyche.Citing researchfrom theFuture Foundation,aprognosticatory consultancy,it reckons that peopleare spendingmore timein theirhomes,fortifying theminto havensfrom anunwelcoming worldhaunted bycrime,bureaucracy andrisingunemployment.The longerthe downturnpersists,the greenerthe grass may grow.分］

97.5million bags,11,3million bagshigher than thecurrent year.The mainreason forthis ishigher Brazilianoutput asproductionrecovers fromweather damageto crops.

42.ICO isactive ineducating farmersabout avoidingdisease anddealing withproblems whentheyoccur.The distributionchain variesfrom country to country,explains Pablo Dubois.In most countriesthe smallerfarmers selltheir cropto alocal trader,who thensells iton toexporters.

43.Largercoffee growers,for example,frequently export directly.Some countries,like Vietnam,havespecial governmentmarketing organizationsfor coffee.Coffee pricesoften varygreatly fromone yearto thenext.In1997,for example,there was alarge risein theworld price,which wasimmediately feltby theconsumer.

44.In someof thesecountries,this canamount to asmuchas50%of allexport earnings.In theopinion ofPabloDubois,the biggestproblem forhis organisationis to create greaterconsumerawareness ofthe differentvarieties ofcoffee anddifferent waysof preparingit.InNorth America,most consumersalready have above averageknowledge Ofthe rangeavailable.

3.9m LatinoCatholics haveconverted,and thatfor everyonewhocomes backtotheCatholic Church,four leaveit.The mainreason,he thinks,is ethnicidentity.Evangelical servicesarenotonly inSpanish,asmany Catholicsermons arenowadays,but areperformed by Latinos ratherthan IrishorPolish-American priests,withthecadences,rhythms,innuendos andflow familiarfrom themothercountry.The evangelicalservices tend tobelivelier thanCatholic liturgyand tolastlonger,often turninginto anouting lastingthe wholeday.Women playgreater roles,andthere arefewer parishionersfor eachpastor thanintheCatholic Church.The evangelical churches arealso moreexperiential,says SamuelRodriguez,a third-generation PuertoRican Pentecostalpastor andthe presidentoftheNational HispanicChristianLeadership Conference,an evangelicalassociation.In theCatholic Church,abelievers relationshipwith Jesusis mediatedthrough hierarchiesand bureaucracies,he says,whereas theevangelicalchurchesprovide directaccess toJesus.The Pentecostalsgo onestepfurther,withthe gifts ofthe Holy Spirit1Corinthians lettingbelievers speakin tonguesandpray fordivine healing.This isthefirstgroup in America toreconcile boththe verticalandthehorizontal partsof thecross,says Mr.Rodriguez.By thishe means thattheLatino evangelicalchurches emphasisenotonlycovenant,faith andrighteousness thevertical part,as whiteevangelicals do,butalsocommunity,public policyand socialjustice thehorizontal part,as manyblackevangelicals,but fewerwhite ones,do.To Latino evangelicals itis allone thing,he says,andthe socialoutreach thechurch providesgoes farbeyond anygovernment programme,withpastors snatchingyoung menaway fromgang lifeand fightingto upholdthe rightsofimmigrants.This alsomeansthatLatino evangelicalsasapolitical forceare distinctfrom whiteevangelicals.Many ofthe whiteshave veeredhard right,hating abortionand gaymarriage andreliablyvoting Republican,though lessso veryrecently.Latinos tendtobeeven morepro-life andtraditionalmarriage thanwhites,says Mr.Rodriguez,but onlybecausetheyknow thatmomand dadinthehome isthe primeantidote togangs anddrugs.That samepragmatismmakes thembelieve ingovernment servicesandthetaxes thatpay forthem,and ofcourse inimmigrantrights.As voters,he reckons,Latinoevangelicalsare thereforethe quintessentialindependents,up forgrabs byeither party.But itmaybeAmerican Catholicismthat changesthemost.About athird ofAmericanCatholics areLatino now,and theirshare isgrowing.They arealso differentCatholics,withmore thanhalf describingthemselves ascharismatics,according tothe Pewreport.Charismatics remainin theirtraditional denomination,but believein someaspects ofPentecostalism,such asthegiftsoftheHolySpirit,especially thespeaking intongues.Latino charismaticssee themselvesasarenewal movementwithin Catholicism,as itconvergeswith other churches.And ingeneral allchurchgoing Latinos tendtosee themselvesasrenewing Christianity inAmerica.That makesthem apowerful forceas demographicchangesturn Americaever moreHispanic,and increasingly different fromsecular Europe.分］
