这是一篇经济类的文章，来自time readers网站2014年2月的一篇文章。

文章提到Janet Yellen即将成为美联储的下一任主席，而她将面临非常重要的失业问题。Yellen之前作为美联储的副主席，曾经通过买进资产的方式帮助美国应对2008年的财政危机。而她就任后将通过加强财政监管的方式来解决面临的经济问题。Yellen因其较强的说服力，严密的逻辑思维，及乐于倾听的态度，被认为能胜任这样一份工作。

文章本身有一定难度，特别是涉及到一些经济类的词汇。但只要紧扣题干关键词，根据顺序原则定位到相应的段落及对应的信息，是可以找到正确答案的。美国经济的文章一直为命题者所青睐，考生在备考时可多加留意。

翻译答案

中国传统的待客之道要求饭菜丰富多样，让客人吃不完。中国宴席上典型的菜单包括开席的一套凉菜及其后的热菜，例如肉类、鸡鸭、蔬菜等。大多数宴席上，全鱼被认为是必不可少的，除非已经上过各式海鲜。如今，中国人喜欢把西方特色菜与传统中式菜肴融于一席，因此牛排上桌也不少见。沙拉也已流行起来，尽管传统上中国人一般不吃任何未经烹饪的菜肴。宴席通常至少有一道汤，可以最先上或最后上桌。甜点和水果通常标志宴席的结束。

The traditional Chinese hospitality requires food diversity, so that guests will be full before eating up all the dishes. A typical Chinese banquet menu includes cold dishes served at the beginning, followed by hot dishes, such as meat, poultry, vegetables, etc. At most banquets, the whole fish is considered to be essential, unless various kinds of seafood have been served already. Today, Chinese people would like to combine Western specialties with traditional Chinese dishes. Therefore, it is not rare to see steak being served as well. Salad is gaining popularity, although traditionally the Chinese people generally do not eat any food without cooking. There is usually at least a bowl of soup, served at the beginning or in the end of the dinner party. Desserts and fruit usually mark the end of the feast.
