READ THE TEXTS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:Starbucks Corp reported better-than-expected
quarterly profit but global sales at established coffee shops fell short of analysts' estimates due to
weakness in Europe, sending its shares down five percent in after-hours trade on Thursday.
Sales from cafes open at least 13 months fell 1 percent in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa
(EMEA) region during the latest quarter. Analysts polled by Consensus Metrix had expected a 2.2
percent rise in EMEA same-store sales.
Executives attributed the drop to weakness in Europe, which suffered its first decline in same-store
sales since 2009.
Sales fell in Ireland and Germany during the fiscal second quarter and were up just slightly in
France and the United Kingdom, Starbucks Chief Financial Officer Troy Alstead said.
Europe has been a weak spot for the world's biggest coffee chain. The region is grappling with debt
woes and austerity measures and, earlier this week, Britain said its economy had fallen into its
second recession since the financial crisis.
"The situation is very, very tough," Chief Executive Howard Schultz said of Europe's economy.
"We will turn the Europe business around in the same way we turned the U.S. business around,"
Schultz told analysts on a conference call.

Consumers went back to using their credit cards in March to keep spending while student and newcar loans shot up as the value of outstanding consumer credit jumped at the fastest rate since late
2001, data from the Federal Reserve showed on Monday.
Total consumer credit grew by $21.36 billion - more than twice the $9.8 billion rise that Wall Street
economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast. That followed a revised $9.27 billion increase in
outstanding credit in February.
Analysts expressed some reservations whether the date reliably signaled a real pickup in demand,
something that would normally fuel stronger growth, or just a need to rely more on credit in an
economy generating anemic job growth.
"The optimistic read is that consumers' improved outlook on the economy and employment
prospects led them to feel comfortable spending on credit, while a more downbeat interpretation is
that credit is needed for consumers to keep up," Nomura Global Economics said in a note
afterward.
The March rise in consumer credit was the strongest for any month since November 2001 when it
soared by $28 billion. That was shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks when big automakers
were offering zero-percent financing and other incentives to lure consumers back to their
showrooms.
New-car sales and production were a key influence on the 2.2 percent annual rate of economic
growth posted during the first three months this year. The government estimated that about half of
that growth came from increased new car production

2. By using the word "anemic", the article wants to say that the current job growth numbers are
______________.
average

3. According to the article, does the increase in consumer credit mean that the economy is
improving?
Not necessarily
Yes
No, just the opposite
4. How long had it been since the consumer credit numbers increased so much in one month?
A year
Over 10 years
About three years
5. According to the article, what played an important part in the economic growth at the beginning
of this year (2012)?
A record-breaking drop in unemployment
A decrease in tax rates
New car production and sales
