About a quarter of white adults say they interact with blacks and Hispanics a lot in their day-to-day life. Among blacks, 26% say they have a lot of interaction with people who are Hispanic, while one-in- five Hispanics say they have frequent interaction with people who are black. About one in-ten whites, blacks and Hispanics say they interact with Asians a lot in their daily life. A majority of Asians say they have frequent daily interaction with whites, more than the share of blacks and Hispanics who say the same. About one-in-four Asians say they have a lot of interaction with people who are Hispanic and 15% say the same about people who are black. Asians are less likely than whites, blacks and Hispanics to say they have a lot of interaction with people in their own group. The extent to which Americans interact with various racial or ethnic groups reflects, at least in part, the shares of each group in the population.

4. Financial projections for COVID-19 run the gamut. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, an entity with 36 member countries, estimated earlier this month that a long-lasting and severe coronavirus pandemic that spreads throughout Asia, Europe and North America could cut the global growth rate to 1.5-percent in 2020. That is roughly half the growth the world economy would otherwise achieve. A separate analysis by the consulting firm McKinsey & Company offers a similar outlook. Its research suggests that a more severe COVID-19 pandemic, in which city and suburban residents would have to significantly change their work habits and otherwise distance themselves socially for six to eight weeks, could cut global GDP in half, to between 1% percent and 1.5%. Increasingly, those projections look too rosy for the situation that is now unfolding. Already, roughly 1 in 3 Americans are being ordered to stay indoors, creating a huge drag on consumer demand and worker productivity. Goldman Sachs estimates that as many as 2.25 million Americans will make their initial filing for unemployment benefits this week, a roughly eight-fold increase from last week. The chief U.S. economist for Oxford Economics, Greg Daco, told the New York Times last week that a recession is all but inevitable. He estimates that GDP will sink 0.4% in the first quarter before plunging 12% in the second quarter. Goldman Sachs offered an even more dire estimate, suggesting a second-quarter decline of 24%. A century ago, the economic toll from the Spanish Flu was not particularly long-lasting. However, no one can say for certain whether that will be the case this time around. Certainly, the more effective governments in the U.S. and abroad are in facilitating medical care and reducing the rate of transmission, the more muted the economic impact will be. (Adapted from Question 36: Which of the following best serves as the title for the article? A. Global GDP cut due to COVID-19 B. The Impact of COVID-19 C. Experts’ estimation of COVID-19 D. COVID-19 in comparison with Spanish Flu Question 37: The word “outlook” in paragraph 3 most probably means ___.

A. residents B. weeks C. cities D. analyses Question 40: The word “rosy” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ___. A. initial B. slight C. stupid D. hopeful Question 41: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the article? A. The global growth rate may be 1.5% in 2020 due to coronavirus pandemic. B. The precise impact of the coronavirus will vary. C. 2.25 million Americans will ask for unemployment benefits this week. D. Goldman Sachs estimates that GDP will decrease 12% in the second quarter.
