199 （04年第三篇阅读）When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn't biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I'm a good economic indicator," she says. "I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars." So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard's department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don't know if other clients are going to abandon me, too" she says. Even before Alan Greenspan's admission that America's red-hot economy is cooling, （总述）lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. （分述一）From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. （分述二）For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. （分述三）Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year's pace. （分水岭）But don't sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy's long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening. （整个第二段讲了两句话，分水岭前后。） Consumers say they're not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. 【（总述）Home prices are holding steady in most regions. （分述一）In Manhattan, "there's a new gold rush happening in the $4 million to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses," says broker Barbara Corcoran. （分述二）In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. （分述三）"Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three," says john Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker.】 （分水岭）And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job. （以上四个句子【】是一个意思：在大多数地区房价保持稳定。这一段的主旨： causes of consumers’ not being desperate in face of the slowdown.） 　　【（总述）Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. （分述一）Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. （分述二）Employers wouldn't mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. （分述三）Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom.】 Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan's hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant need to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting. 笔记： Appreciate doing 感激某人做…… Suggest that (should)…… Suspend 暂停；延缓 When it comes to slowing economy…… 一提到…… When it comes to+名词词组+主谓…… When it comes to……的作用：引出全文的主题 When it comes to……在写作中的应用：When it comes to+作文主题，（不同的人有不同的观点）opinions vary. 考研英语试卷：1：完型（10%）2：阅读（60%）（part A：40%；part B：10%；part C：10%）3：写作（30%） Some tend to claim that…… 一些人认为 Others, however, may argue/contend that…… 然而，另一些人认为 I am strongly convinced that…… 我强烈认为/相信；科学家一直相信：Scientists have been convinced that…… 重要补充：1.
