　　"Don't put all your eggs into one basketis a classic investment concept(投资理念).For China，the euro will become another"basketfor storing"eggs".

　　Mr Yang,a famous scholar,said that China should increase the proportion(比例)of the euro in its national foreign exchange reserve(外汇储备) to reduce risks and preserve value.

　　By the end of November 2001, China's foreign exchange reserve had amounted to US＄208.31 billion, ranking second in the world.The US dollar took an absolutely high proportion of it,adding up to 60percent, while the Japanese yen and Deutsche(German)Mark only made up 15 percent.

　　Mr Yang said that like businesses and individuals,a country should preserve property(保持资产)value. Since the currencies of different countries always have ups and downs,there should be a rational(合理的)distribution of different currencies in the foreign exchange reserve to reduce exchange rate risks and thus preserve value.In view of the trade proportions between China and its five major trading partners--the United States,Japan,Britain,Germany and France,the proportion of the US dollar in the foreign exchange reserve should be kept at around 45 percent in future,while the proportion of the euro should increase to 20-30 percent.

　　It is believed that the euro will become a world currency like US dollar.China has not only paid close attention to the euro,but also started to increase euro reserve.Finance Minister Xiang Huaicheng said,"I have noticed that the euro is becoming stronger recently.So I propose that leaders of the related department consider buying euros quicker and sooner,based on the principle of not putting all our eggs into one basket.

　　答案与解析：

　　认真阅读分析原文，可抽象概括出本文中心含义：外汇投资风险大，专一投资太可怕，投资失败经济垮，分散投资风险小，美元储备别增加，欧元储备增为佳。

　　1.D。据语境词义推断题，可用语境词义推断法来解。由原文第五节首句It is believed that the euro will become a world currency like US dollar.可推断euro像US dollar一样也是一种货币。

　　2.B。归纳综合题，可用主题分析法来解。由主题可知，外汇储备过分集中于一种货币投资风险太大，分散投资风险小。

　　3.D。归纳综合题，可用主题分析法来解。由主题可知，外汇储备应分散投资，当某一货币品种比率太大时应进行调整才能降低风险。

　　4.C。细节判断题，可用直接就题找文来解。原文第三节原句"The US dollar took an absolutely high proportion of it，adding up to 60percent，while the Japanese yen and Deutsche(German) Mark only made up 15percent."表明目前美元占有中国外汇储备最大份额。

　　5.C。本题为标题判断题，可用三原则来解。标题应具有高度的概括性、强烈的针对性和一定的醒目性，因此应选C。由文章首句和本文中心含义可知，本文自始至终都在讲外汇储备的理念，因此One Investment Concept具有高度的概括性和强烈的针对性，并且该标题言简意赅，具有一定的醒目性。
