They had to tighten their belts.
【解析】细节题。从原文第二段最后一句话the shock of the economic crisis last year prompted people to snap shut their wallets可见,经济危机使得美国民众关紧钱包,即少花钱,也就是答案中tighten their belts(勒紧腰带,节省开支)的意思。所以正确答案为A。
58. What should be done to encourage Chinese people to consume?

【解析】细节题。从原文中的even if the government creates a better social safety net and successfully encourages greater consumer spending可见,如要鼓励中国人消费更多,这需要提高社会安全系统。
59. What does the author mean by saying savings are the seed corn of a good economic harvest ?
A healthy savings rate promotes economic prosperity.
【解析】细节题。根据题干提示,定位至第四段最后一句,我们发现这句话是前面几句话的概括,那根据前面High savings lead, over time, to increased investment, which in turn generates productivity gains, innovation and job growth.可知,高储蓄率能够促进投资,进而促进生产率、创新和岗位增长,即促进经济的繁荣。所以正确答案为D。
