This is a true statement. In the article we read that Britons "cannot cope with the sky-high house prices at home", meaning that British people are finding that house prices are too high in the UK. The verb "to cope" describes being able to tolerate or deal with a situation. Example: Bruno couldn't cope with the pain in his tooth, so he went to the dentist. A "sky-high (price)" is a price which is extremely high.
This statement is not true. The article states "British buyers come in all shapes and sizes", meaning that there are many different types of British buyers. There is no mention that only rich Britons can afford to buy property in the US. An "income" refers to one's "revenue" or "earnings", usually one's "salary" or the amount one is paid.
This is a false statement. The article states that "British visitors to the US are used to the strange sensation of seeing bargains all around." A "bargain" is a "good deal" or a "very good value" item. Example: I found a bargain the other day: an original copy of the Beaties Fabbey Rd album for $10. "Goods" refers to "merchandise", "products" or "stock".
This statement is true. We read in the article that "the US property market is currently suffering a credit crisis, making it attractive for Britons" and that "the collapse of the dollar is key". One of the main points of the article is to suggest that the British pound is currently very strong against the American dollar, meaning that the US housing market is attractive to British property buyers.

1 shares: "Shares" is the right answer. People can buy "shares" in a company as an investment, in the hope that the value of these shares will increase. However, shares can also fall in value! Example: "Kalvin Krime's share price has dropped below $1 for the first time in history".
2 dividend: A "dividend" is a yearly sum of money given to shareholders, generally based on the company's financial success. The total sum of money given depends on the price per share and the number of shares held by the stock holder.
3 upturn: "Upturn" is the term we were looking for. An "upturn" is an increase, or an improvement, especially after a quiet or unsuccessful period of time. Example: "The economic upturn is largely thanks to three huge companies building factories in our country".
4 disposable income: This is the right answer. A person's "disposable income" is the money they can spend on luxuries and leisure activities, once they have paid for essentials such as bills, food, and rent. Example: "I have more disposable income now that I have a job than when I was a student". An "income" generally refers to money received by a person as a salary.
