Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #48713 Long Remarkable Reversal
Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
It  is  a  remarkable  reversal  in    from  just  a  few  months  ago,  when  the  broader  economy  seemed  relatively  healthy  but  Wall  Street  was  traumatized  by  billions  of  dollars  in    -  related  losses.  Now,  bankers  and  investors  appear  ready  to  look  past  the  crisis  to  more    times,  while  consumers  find  themselves  in  a  more  precarious  position  as  the  job  market  weakens  and  banks  make  it  harder  to  borrow  money.  It  is,  of  course,  not    for  Wall  Street  to  run  ahead  of  the  broader  economy.  Investors,  after  all,  make  money  by  anticipating  the  future.  The  job  market,  by  ,  improves  more  slowly  than  other  aspects  of  the  economy.  But  specialists  say  the  two  sides  will  eventually  converge.  Either  the  markets  will  give  up  their  recent    or,  if  the  optimists  are  right,  the  broader  economy  will  show  greater  strength  as  tax  rebate  checks  and  lower  interest  rates    the  economy.
