Harvard University professor Dale Jorgenson said, with the collapse of the high-tech bubble in the stock market, the U.S. economy is reverting to the slower growth rates of the period 1973 to 1995. In the boom years from 1995 to 2000, the U.S. economy grew by about five percent annually. That high growth. said Professor Jorgenson, was fueled by enormous gains in productivity that are unlikely to return.
Voice: So, 2.78 is the figure going forward for about the next decade. In other words, we’re not going to have an acceleration of economic growth, contrary to what Alan Greenspan (central bank governor) may say in his testimony to the Senate Banking Committee only two weeks from today. That’s not going to happen. It is something that it is just totally outside the range of possibilities, even under the most optimistic assumption about productivity and capital deepening.
Now the U.S. economy growth rate is______.
A.higher than 1995 to 2000
B.lower than 1973 to 1995
C.as good as 1995 to 2000
D.the same as 1993 to 1995

Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing—he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation's leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to "serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.
The film is 100% American.However,if you've ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you'll enjoy Dave!
