Passage 2：
In a recent television interview the Malaysian prime Minister expressed his deep concern about economic situation in his country. Malaysia has undergone financial difficulties from the combined impact of the world financial crisis， decline in world oil prices and its own prolonged recession. The direct reason for those difficulties was that investors lacked confidence in the Malaysian economy.∥
Due to reform of the currency system， high inflation and major financial frauds， most people had little confidence in domestic commercial banks and even doubted the financial policies for the Central Bank and the government. The government and the rubber industrial companies are in severe dispute over settlement of the latter's tax bill. As a result， many foreign companies intended to stay away from further involvement in the country's development of economy.

澳門實現(xiàn)平穩(wěn)過渡，又一次標志著鄧小平“一國兩制”構(gòu)想的巨大成功，對實現(xiàn)祖國完全統(tǒng)一將起到積極的推動作用。香港和澳門自回歸以來，保持了原有的社會、經(jīng)濟制度不變，生活方式不變和法律基本不變�！�

預(yù)計我國政府今年將采取進一步措施擴大內(nèi)需，以保持持續(xù)、快速、健康的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。由于中央政府的政策投資、消費和出口明顯增加，今年的經(jīng)濟增長率目前定為7%或以上�！�
為了解決消費需求不足的問題，我國將進一步做好對固定資產(chǎn)投資的準備。我國政府將集中資金投入基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施、技術(shù)革新、環(huán)境保護、研究與開發(fā)、教育以及居民住房建設(shè)。同時，我國政府將進一步使用財政貨幣杠桿來支持經(jīng)濟發(fā)展，為私人投資提供更好的政策環(huán)境。

Passage 2：
在最近一次電視采訪中，馬來西亞總理對其國家的經(jīng)濟形勢表憂慮。馬來西亞受世界金融危機、世界石油價格下跌以及本國長時間經(jīng)濟蕭條的共同影響，經(jīng)歷了一段金融困難時期。這次困境的直接原因是投資者對馬來西亞經(jīng)濟缺乏信心�！�
由于貨幣膨脹及重大金融失誤，絕大多數(shù)老百姓對國內(nèi)商業(yè)銀行很少有信心，甚至懷疑央行和政府的金融政策。政府和橡膠工業(yè)公司就解決后者的稅收問題激烈爭論。因此，眾多外國公司不愿再進一步介入國家的經(jīng)濟發(fā)展。
