Answer the questions based on the lyrics of the song below:
Dig - Incubus
We all have a weakness; some of ours are easier to identify
Look me in the eye and ask for forgiveness
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again; yes, you are my friend
We all have something that digs at us; at least we dig each other
So when weakness turns my ego up I know you'll count on the me from yesterday
If I turn into another dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me,
Sing this song, remind me that we'll always have each other when everything else is gone
We all have a sickness that cleverly attaches and multiplies no matter how we try
We all have someone that digs at us; at least we dig each other
So when sickness turns my ego up I know you'll act as a clever medicine
If I turn into another dig me up from under what is covering the better part of me,
Sing this song, remind me that we'll always have each other when everything else is gone
Vocabulary:
- dig: to form or excavate (a hole, tunnel, passage, etc) by digging, usually with an implement or (of animals)

(FUVEST/2011)
Europe’s economic distress could be China’s opportunity. In the past, the country has proved a
hesitant investor in the continent, but figures show a 30 percent surge in new Chinese projects in Europe last
year. And these days Europe looks ever more tempting. Bargains proliferate as the yuan strengthens and
cashstrapped governments forget concerns over foreign ownership of key assets. On a recent visit to
Greece, Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang sealed 14 deals, reportedly the largest Chinese investment package in
Europe, covering a range of sectors from construction to telecoms.
Meanwhile, Irish authorities have opened talks with Chinese promoters to develop a 240-hectare
industrial park in central Ireland where Chinese manufacturers could operate inside the European Union free
of quotas and costly tariffs. In time, that could bring 10,000 new jobs. “It’s good business,” says Vanessa
Rossi, an authority on China at the Royal Institute of International Affairs in London. “There’s big mutual
benefit here.” Europe needs money; China needs markets.
