The adjusted figure is called real national income. National income figures show the rate at which a nation`s economy changes. These figures also show the stability of the economy. For example, the economy may be unstable if national income varies greatly from year to year. National income figures also show how income is distributed in the forms of wages, interest, profits and rent. In the United States, wages, salaries and employee benefits account for about 75 percent of the national income. Interest , profits and rents provide the rest of the national income. Both government and industry adjust their budgets in terms of the level, distribution, and rate of change in national income. If national income falls, for example, the government might decrease taxes in order to allow people more after—tax income to spend. If people spent this additional income on goods and services, business activity would rise. As a result, more jobs would be created, and national income would increase. 【Useful Expressions】 1 compare: v. contrast 比较 comparison: n. in comparison with …. 与….相比 2 figure: n. data 数据 3 adjust: vt. revise, regulate 调整 4 inflation: n. 通货膨胀 5 rate: n. speed 比例，速率 6 stability: n. constancy / steady state 稳定性，stable: adj. steady / constant 稳定的，持久不变的 7 vary: v. alter /change 改变 8 distribute: v. allocate /allot/assign 分配 distribution: n. 9 in terms of: with regard to / from the point of view of 从….观点来看，至于，关于 10 additional: adj. extra / added 额外的 【Grammar】 1 National income figures show the rate at which a nation`s economy changes. at which 介词加引导词的定语从句，修饰先行词rate, 引导词which是介词at的宾语。 翻译：国民收入数据表明一个国家经济变化的速率。 Passage Two The resignation of Bria
