38、everybody.”“Whats an economy?”asked Sean.Maliks mom gave a heavy sigh and gazed around the kitchen as though she might find an answer there.“Its all about money and jobs,”she explained.“When lots of people have jobs and lots of people are spending money,thats a good economy.Right now,in many countri

39、es,including ours,the economy is bad.People dont have money to spend,which means businesses that make and sell things make less money.Then workers at those businesses make less money or lose their jobs,like I just lost mine.”Maliks mom looked gloomier than hed ever seen her.“Youll find another job,”
