Over the past decade, however, digital payment has taken off—tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has become normal. Now this revolution is about to turn cash into an endangered species in some rich economies. That will make the economy more efficient—but it also causes new problems that could hold back the transition (转型).Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. In Sweden the number of retail cash transactions per person has fallen by 80% in the past ten years. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the rich world, cash is still king. But even there its leading role is being challenged. In China digital payment rose from 4% of all payment in 2012 to 34% in 2017.Cash is dying out because of two forces. One is demand—younger consumers want payment systems that plug easily into their digital lives. But what's equally important is that suppliers such as banks and tech firms (in developed markets) and telecoms companies (in emerging ones ) are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies from which they can pull data and pocket fees. There is a high cost to running the infrastructure behind the cash economy—ATMs, vans carrying notes, and tellers who accept coins. Most financial firms are keen to abandon it, or discourage old-fashioned customers with heavy fees.In the main, the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. Cash is inefficient. When payment dematerialize, people and shops are less open to theft. It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.Yet behind these benefits, there are a couple of worries. Electronic payment systems may risk technical failures, power failures and cyber attacks. In a cashless economy the poor, the elderly and country folk may be left behind. And a digital system could let governments watch over people's shopping habits and private multinationals exploit their personal data.1.What are some rich countries trying to do?A.Dematerialize money.B.Get rid of the side effects of cash.C.Make the economy more efficient by protecting endangered species.D.Promote payment without paper money or coins.2.Why are several countries mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.To show the differences between developed and developing countries.B.To show that cash is still king across the world.C.To show digital payment is becoming a trend that cannot be stopped.D.To show China is developing faster than those developed countries in digital payment.3.Why is cash disappearing largely?A.Younger consumers are short of money to live their digital lives.B.Suppliers are trying to reduce costs and obtain money and data.C.The infrastructure is developing at high speed in developed markets.D.Financial firms want to abandon old-fashioned customers.4.What's the author's attitude toward digital payment?A.Favorable. B.Negative. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.BMy family graduate of the University of Texas. However, around my second year in law school, I wanted to make a great change, which was almost unheard of for Texans: I wanted to leave!I realized this after completing my first-year internship (实习期). I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas. A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered. I overheard that StubHub, a big company from a great city, San Francisco, was throwing a party next door to my hotel. I thought if I could get an internship, I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like. Yes, it was a huge leap. I told myself I was ready.There was just one problem: I wasn't invited to the StubHub's party. But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants. Needless to say, I crashed the party and found my way to the president. I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program. Guess what? They accepted my request to be a legal intern, even though no such program existed.Although the legal department didn't have a permanent position for me, the experience has shaped my life. Working for a great company in San Francisco, I'm incredibly happy for making my decision to leave Texas.By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfortable. Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life. I say, dive in head first.5.What happened to the author in Dallas in 2011?A.She was accepted as a legal intern. B.She played in the Super Bowl.C.She escaped from San Francisco.

2020年1月18日,大陆雅思AB卷大作文解析A卷原题:Nowadays, children have too much freedom. To what extent do you agree or disagree?这个题目真心不难,也是一季度正常要考察的项目。
孩子有没有更多自由可以从很多方面来看:比如家庭教育观念的转变,社会的进步,社会教育的变化。
自由的部分可以体现在家庭教育愿意孩子有更多的自由和成长的快乐,不自由也可以体现在学校教育的任务增加社会要求变多,孩子压力增大。
其实教育类别的很多题目其核心都是在讨论和对比家庭、学校、社会的教育方式和功能。
当然这个题目从孩子是不是需要更听话更加跟随家长或成人的意愿方面来讨论,如果有自主思考就更自由,如果不能自主思考就丧失自由。
B卷原题:Some experts think that for the countries which are already rich,additional economic growth of wealth will make citizens can not be happier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?这个是一个有一点难度的题目。
之前的考察是问国家贫富差距缩小是不是使社会更好。
从今天的这个题目来看其实就是这个题目的变体讨论。
假设社会已经富裕,那么额外的财富就是在增加社会经济总量和缩减贫富差距。
但是富裕的社会贫富差距的缩减并不一定是好事。
这里面在讨论一个非常内核的经济原理,当社会的经济总量充分是社会是会趋于满足的,社会加了财富,那就意味着会导致共同富裕,这样一来有可能会导致整个社会疲软,因为人们就丧失了竞争的动力以及提升的空间。
同时如果增加了更多的财富,就意味着肯定会有更多的工作,因为财富不会凭空增加,所以人们就会有更多的压力。
所以其实有很多人会朴素的认为,当社会的经济总量出现增长时,大家一定幸福。
Unit 2 Onwards and upwards课时素养检测六Unit 2 Period 2Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2020·攀枝花高二检测) Recently, a scientist did some experiments. He left a group of 4yearolds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang the bell, he would e back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’t ring the bell and waited for him to e back on his own, they could then have two candies.In the videos of the experiments, he can see the children hiding their eyes, trying to exercise selfcontrol so they can wait and get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted 15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to get higher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adult success. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations (评价) 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to bee rich. But when the result is not good, they will e back to ask “how do we get people to get the sort of selfcontrol that leads to success?” This is to enter the world of human nature.So these experiments, along with everyday experience, tell us that selfcontrol is most important. Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well. They can avoid drugs and alcohol. For people without selfcontrol skills, however, school is a series of failed and painful experience. No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.【语篇概述】本文属于说明文,讲述了自控力和未来成功的关系,实验表明自控力强的人以后成功的机会更大。

中国文化和日本文化的差异英文作文Differences Between Chinese Culture and Japanese CultureIntroductionChina and Japan are both East Asian countries with rich and vibrant cultural traditions. Despite some similarities, there are also significant differences between the two cultures that have developed over centuries of history. In this essay, we will explore some of the key differences in Chinese and Japanese culture.1. Language and WritingOne of the most obvious differences between Chinese and Japanese culture is the language and writing systems. Chinese uses characters that represent meanings rather than sounds, while Japanese uses a combination of Chinese characters (kanji) and two syllabic scripts (hiragana and katakana). This difference in writing systems has led to significant variations in literature, calligraphy, and linguistic traditions between the two countries.2. ReligionAnother key difference between Chinese and Japanese culture is in the realm of religion. China has been influenced by a mix of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, while Japan has astrong tradition of Shintoism as well as Buddhism. These religious beliefs have shaped various aspects of culture, including art, architecture, festivals, and rituals.3. Art and AestheticsChinese and Japanese art have distinct styles and themes. Chinese art often features bold colors and brush strokes, focusing on natural landscapes, calligraphy, and traditional Chinese motifs. Japanese art, on the other hand, tends to showcase subtle and delicate patterns, with an emphasis on simplicity, harmony, and attention to detail.4. CuisineChinese and Japanese cuisine are both renowned for their diverse and flavorful dishes, but there are notable differences in ingredients, flavors, and cooking techniques. Chinese food often includes bold and spicy flavors, while Japanese cuisine emphasizes fresh, seasonal ingredients and meticulous presentation. Popular dishes like dim sum and Peking duck are distinctly Chinese, while sushi and tempura are well-known Japanese delicacies.5. Social CustomsSocial customs and etiquette vary between Chinese and Japanese culture. In China, hierarchical relationships are important, and respect for elders and authority figures is emphasized. In Japan, there is a strong emphasis on politeness, etiquette, and harmony in interpersonal interactions. Bowing is a common greeting in Japan, while handshakes are more common in China.6. Fashion and Traditional AttireChinese and Japanese traditional clothing reflects the history and values of each culture. Chinese traditional attire includes the qipao and cheongsam, featuring vibrant colors and intricate embroidery. Japanese traditional clothing like the kimono and yukata are known for their simple and elegant designs, often made from silk or cotton fabrics.ConclusionIn conclusion, Chinese and Japanese culture share some similarities, but there are also significant differences in language, religion, art, cuisine, social customs, and fashion. These cultural distinctions enrich the diversity and heritage of East Asia, reflecting the unique histories, values, and traditions of both countries. By understanding and appreciating these differences,we can foster greater cultural awareness and cross-cultural dialogue between China and Japan.。

富有的国家应该帮助贫穷的国家吗英文作文全文共5篇示例,供读者参考篇1Should Rich Countries Help Poor Countries?Hi! My name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk to you about something really important - rich countries helping poor countries. It's a big topic with lots to think about, but I'll do my best to explain it simply.First off, what does it mean for a country to be rich or poor? Basically, rich countries have a lot of money, resources, and their people can afford nice homes, cars, vacations and all the food they need. Poor countries don't have as much money or resources, and lots of people there live in poverty without enough food, clean water, schools or hospitals.Some examples of rich countries are the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. Some poor countries are Haiti, Somalia, Afghanistan and Mali. Of course, even in rich countries there are still some poor people, and even in poor countries there are some rich people too. But overall, you can see the big differences.So should the rich countries help out the poor countries then?I think they absolutely should, and here are a few reasons why:It's the right thing to do. Imagine if you lived in a poor village where many kids didn't have enough food or couldn't go to school. Wouldn't you want someone to help you out if they could? Rich countries have way more than they need, so it's only fair that they share some of their wealth to help others in need. It's like if you had two cupcakes and your friend had none - you would give them one of yours because that's the nice thing to do.It helps make the whole world safer and more stable. When there is a lot of poverty and struggling in parts of the world, it can cause unrest, crime, and even warfare as people get desperate. But by helping developing countries get more food, jobs, education and opportunities, it makes their societies stronger and more peaceful for everyone. A stable world is a safer world for all.We're all human beings at the end of the day. It doesn't matter what country you're from or what you look like. We're all part of the human family. And when some members of your family are really struggling, you want to do what you can to helpthem out. That's what rich countries should do for poor countries - help them like they would help family.It helps economic growth for everyone. By supporting poor countries with trade, investment and development assistance, it allows those nations to build stronger economies over time. And as they get richer and can afford more products, that creates better markets and opportunities for the rich countries too. So it's a win-win!Of course, there are some who disagree with this. They might say that rich countries should just look out for themselves instead of giving away money to other nations. Or they could argue that helping poor countries allows their governments to be lazy and reliant on foreign aid forever.Those are fair points, but I still think helping is the right thing to do, for a few reasons:First, even if a country is getting aid, a lot of that help goes straight to the people through food, housing and education programs. It directly improves their lives. And quite frankly, what's the point of being a rich nation if you can't use some of that wealth to help those most in need?Second, the foreign aid given each year is a tiny fraction of what rich countries spend in total. The U.S. gives about 1% of its budget to foreign aid, for example. I think that's a pretty good use of resources to help millions of struggling people.Finally, and most importantly, helping others is simply the ethical thing to do if you're able to. Would you want to live in a world where people only cared about themselves and never helped those in need, even if they could? I certainly wouldn't. A world like that would be awfully selfish and sad.At the end of the day, we're all part of the human family together on this planet. And I think the luckier and richer members of that family should absolutely do what they can to help out their siblings living in muchmore difficult circumstances. It's the right thing to do, and it benefits everyone in the long run too.Those are just my thoughts as a 10-year-old kid, but I hope it shed some light on this important topic! What do you all think - should rich countries help poor countries? I'd love to hear your perspective too. Thanks for reading!篇2Should Rich Countries Help Poor Countries?Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm a 4th grader. Today, my teacher Mrs. Miller asked us to write about whether we think rich countries should help poor countries or not. It's a pretty big topic, but I'll give it my best shot!First off, what does it even mean for a country to be rich or poor? Well, when a country is rich, that means the people who live there have a lot of money and resources. They can afford nice houses, cars, education, healthcare, and fun things like vacations. A poor country is the opposite – people there don't have much money. They might live in small homes with no electricity or running water. They can't afford school or medicine when they get sick.Why are some countries so much richer than others? There are a bunch of reasons. Sometimes it's because of the land and climate – if a place has fertile soil and mild weather, it's easier to grow food and build cities. Other times, it's due to resources like oil, gold, or diamonds that can be sold for lots of money. Wars, government issues, and lack of technology can keep countries poor too.So now that we understand rich vs poor countries, should the rich ones help out the poor ones? In my opinion, they absolutely should! Here's why:It's the right thing to do. Imagine if you had a ton of snacks and toys, while your friend had nothing. Wouldn't you want to share some of yours so they don't go hungry and have something to play with? Countries that are well off should have the same caring attitude toward countries that are struggling.It helps prevent conflicts. If a country's people are starving with no jobs, home, or future, they could get really angry at richer nations. By helping out, rich countries can develop friendships and peace with poorer ones.It improves the whole world. When people in poor places get education, they can become scientists, inventors, engineers and come up with amazing ideas to help everybody. Plus, well-fed healthy kids can go on to achieve great things! Helping develops their country's economy too which is good for global trade.We're all human. Just because someone is from a different country doesn't mean they deserve to suffer more than us. Having clean water, enough food, and opportunities should be something every person on earth can rely on.Of course, I can understand why some people might not want their country spending money on others. Here are a few counterpoints:It's expensive. Rich countries already have their own expenses like roads, schools and hospitals to fund for their citizens. Is it fair to make taxpayers spend even more abroad?What if the aid gets misused? Sometimes governments of poor nations can be corrupt. There's a risk that any aid could get wasted or stolen instead of helping those in need.It removes motivation. If a struggling country knows help is on the way, some argue they may not work as hard to improve their own situation and just become dependent on foreign aid.Immigration concerns. By developing poorer countries, there could be a greater population wave trying to immigrate to seek even more opportunities abroad.Those are some fair points too. Still, I tend to believe that helping is the right thing to do. But it has to be done the smart way - rich countries should partner with trustworthy organizations on the ground to make sure aid like food, medicine and education is getting directly to citizens in a way that develops long-term skills too. That way we're not just giving a handout, but a hand up.At the end of the day, we're all human beings regardless of where we're born. Some are luckier with their circumstances thanothers. But just like I'd hope someone would share their snacks if I was hungry on the playground, don't we all deserve a chance at health, happiness and success? I think every country should lend a hand to their neighbors in need. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say!Well, that's my take! What did you think - did I cover it okay for a 4th grade perspective? Let me know if you have any other questions!篇3Should Rich Countries Help Poor Countries?Hi, my name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. My teacher asked us to write about whether rich countries should help poor countries. It's a very serious topic but I'll try my best!First of all, what does it mean for a country to be rich or poor?A rich country has a lot of money and resources. The people there can afford nice houses, cars, vacations and all the food and things they need. A poor country doesn't have a lot of money or resources. Many people there live in poverty without enough food, clean water, schools or hospitals.Some examples of rich countries are the United States, Canada, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom. Someexamples of poor countries are Haiti, Somalia, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Niger. There's a huge difference in how people live between the richest and poorest countries.I think rich countries definitely should help poor countries. Here are some of the main reasons why:It's the right thing to doIn my opinion, if you have a lot and others have very little, you should share what you can to help them. It's not fair that some kids my age don't have enough food or can't go to school just because they were born in a poor country. We're all human beings and we should look out for each other. Helping others is the kind and moral thing to do.It can save livesIn poor countries, lots of kids die from diseases, hunger or lack of clean water that would be totally preventable and treatable in rich countries. By giving poor countries aid like food, medicine and water filters, many lives can be saved. No kid should die because their family is too poor to afford basic things we take for granted.It reduces conflictWhen people are extremely poor with no opportunities, they can become desperate and turn to violence, crime, terrorism or try to migrate somewhere else. By helping poor countries develop and have more jobs and stability, it makes the whole world safer and more peaceful for everyone.It helps economic growthPoor countries are held back because their people don't have access to education, financial services, business loans and markets to sell what they produce. But with investment and aid from rich countries, poor countries can start to build economies, participate in trade, attract businesses and jobs, and climb out of poverty over time. This benefits everyone as poor countries become new markets for businesses in rich countries too.It's in our interestAlthough it costs money to help poor countries, Studies show that for every 1 a rich country spends on development aid, they get back about 2 in terms of increased economic growth, trade, safer communities, fewer conflicts, less migration and other benefits. So in the long run, it pays off for both rich AND poor countries.Those are some of the main reasons I think rich countries should help poor countries. Of course, there are some arguments against it too:It's a free handoutSome people say that giving money and resources to poor countries is just a handout that makes them dependent on aid instead of helping themselves. They think aid can create unhealthy cycles of dependency.CorruptionA concern is that a lot of aid gets wasted or stolen due to corruption in poor countries with unstable governments and weak laws. The aid may never actually reach the poor people who need it.Population growthHelping with food, health and development could make population growth in poor countries skyrocket at a rate their economies can't support, making problems worse.CostThe richest countries already spend hundreds of billions per year on aid and some people think that money should go to needs at home instead of sending it abroad.Those are some of the main arguments on both sides. Personally, I think the benefits of helping far outweigh the risks and downsides. Of course corruption is a huge issue, but a lot of good organizations work hard to cut down corruption and make sure aid is delivered efficiently. And while population growth is a concern, most studies show that as countries develop their birth rates stabilize over time.In the end, the way I see it is that we're all part of the human family. If some members of your family were really struggling while others had plenty, it's natural and right to try to help them out - within reason and in smart ways, but absolutely not ignoring their plight. We're all in this world together. I feel really fortunate to have been born in a rich country and I think those of us who are well-off should absolutely do our part to help our human brothers and sisters in poor countries achieve brighter futures and climb out of extreme poverty.Of course these are just my thoughts as a 10-year-old kid. But I hope that seeing the issue through a child's eyes can maybe remind grown-ups not to overthink it too much sometimes. Atthe end of the day, helping others is just the right thing to do if you're in a position to do so. I'll leave the complicated reasoning and pros and cons to the adults, but from where I'm standing it seems like a no-brainer to me. We should absolutely help build a world where no child has to live in extreme poverty if we can do something about it.What do you all think? I'm really curious to hear other viewpoints on this hugely important issue facing our world. Thanks for reading my essay!篇4Should Rich Countries Help Poor Countries?Hi, my name is Jamie and I'm 10 years old. Today, my teacher Mrs. Thompson asked us to write about whether rich countries should help poor countries or not. It's a really big question that even grown-ups have different opinions about!First of all, what does it mean for a country to be rich or poor? Rich countries have a lot of money, good schools and hospitals, and their people can afford nice houses, cars, phones and whatever else they need. Poor countries don't have as much money, and a lot of their people live in poverty without access to nutritious food, clean water, education or healthcare.The United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan and Australia are examples of rich countries. Some poor countries are Haiti, Yemen, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Burundi. There are also middle-income countries that are kind of in-between, like India, Mexico and Brazil.So should the rich countries help out the poor ones? I think they absolutely should, and here's why:It's the right thing to do. Imagine if you were really hungry and your friend had plenty of food but didn't share any with you. That wouldn't be very nice, would it? Countries are like friends on a giant playground called Earth. The rich ones have way more than they need, while kids in poor countries don't have enough food or clean water and get really sick. Helping others is good, whether you're a person or a country.It helps prevent conflict. If there's a neighborhood with some rich families and some poor families, the poor ones might get jealous and angry at the rich ones. They could start fights or even rob the rich houses because they're struggling so much. When poor countries are struggling with starvation, disease, and lack of opportunities, their people can become resentful toward rich nations. This breeds violence, terrorism, and conflict that canspread. By helping poor nations develop, rich countries can create more peace and stability.It grows the economy. This one is a bit more complicated, but listen: Poor countries don't have a lot of money to buy products and materials from rich countries. But if rich nations help make the poor nations richer through aid and investment, then those poor nations can eventually become new markets for the rich nations' businesses. It grows economies on both sides when there is development. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say.It's a chance to make new friends. When you help someone, they'll be grateful and want to be your friend. If a rich country helps build roads, schools and hospitals in a poor country, the people there will feel thankful. They can become allies who have each other's backs instead of enemies. Friendship makes the world a better place!It's the moral thing to do. Every human life is precious, whether you're born in a rich country or a poor one. We're all equal and deserve the same chances to survive, be educated, and live good lives. Helping those in desperate need is simply the right thing for those who can afford it. It's like if you saw a kid struggling in a lake - you'd try to save them, right?Of course, I can understand why some people might disagree with this. Their reasons could be:It's expensive and costly for taxpayers. Foreign aid costs a lot of money that could be spent at home instead.The aid might get wasted or stolen by corrupt governments in poor countries instead of helping people.It creates dependency - poor countries might rely on the handouts instead of standing on their own two feet.Issues like poverty, disease, and hunger are complicated with no easy solutions from the outside.Rich countries have faced their own challenges to get where they are, so why should they self-sacrifice to help others?Those are some fair points too. Still, I tend to believe we all have an obligation to assist those in crisis however we can. Even if it's challenging, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try our best.In conclusion, I do think rich countries should strive to support poor nations through foreign aid, investment, sharing technology and resources, and many other means. We're all part of one world that does best when we cooperate and look out for one another across borders. The rich and poor alike deserve dignity, opportunity and hope for the future.That's my opinion, but I'd love to hear what you think about this heavyweight issue! Should those who can help absolutely do so, or do you have other perspectives to share? Let me know.篇5Should Rich Countries Help Poor Countries?Hi, my name is Jamie and I'm going to write about a very important topic - should rich countries help poor countries or not? It's a really big deal and different people have different opinions about it. Let me share my thoughts!First of all, what do we mean by rich and poor countries? Rich countries have a lot of money and wealth. The people there can afford nice houses, cars, vacations, and anything they need. Poor countries don't have as much money. Many people there struggle to get food, clean water, education, and medical care. Some countries are very very poor and many kids don't get to go to school or have toys to play with.So should the rich countries help the poor countries or not? In my opinion, yes they absolutely should help! It's the right thing to do. Can you imagine being really hungry and not having anything to eat? Or getting sick and not having medicine ordoctors? That would be terrible! Rich countries have plenty, so they should share some of what they have with those in need.If I had a ton of cookies and my friend had none, I would definitely give them some of mine. It's no fun eating by yourself when someone else has nothing. By giving some of my cookies, I'd make my friend happy, and we could both enjoy the cookies together. That's how it should be with countries too!Rich countries have a lot of money, food, resources, medicine, and more. Poor countries are lacking in those things their people need. The rich countries should absolutely share some of what they have. It's only fair. Plus, we're all human beings on this planet Earth together, like one big family of 7 billion people. We should be looking out for each other!Another reason rich countries should help is because there's poverty, hunger, disease and lack of education in poor countries.A lot of kids don't get to go to school because their families can't afford it. They have to work in fields or factories at a very young age instead of learning. Many people get sick from unclean drinking water and inadequate healthcare. By giving aid and resources, rich countries can improve situations like that in poorer nations.With that aid, more kids could go to school and get an education. More people could have access to medicine when they're ill. Things like clean water systems could be built so communities don't keep getting diseases from dirty water. Farms and agricultural systems can be set up properly so people get enough food. Overall, the qualities of life for millions of people could be greatly improved with aid from wealthy countries.Of course, some people might disagree and think rich countries shouldn't have to help poor ones. They could say "Those aren't our problems - why should we spend our money on other countries when we have issues in our own country?" That's a fair point, but I still think helping others is the ethical thing to do, especially when you're abundantly blessed. You can focus on your own country too, but also commit some resources to helping those living in extreme poverty and need elsewhere.At the end of the day, we're all part of the human family on this planet. Wealthy countries are extremely fortunate, while many nations lack access to basic human needs and rights. By sharing some of their extra wealth and resources through foreign aid, rich countries can vastly improve living standards and opportunities for those suffering in poverty around the world.Plus, there's another benefit - helping poor countries can lead to more stable, productive societies over time. When people have access to education, jobs, healthcare and quality of life improves, it reduces conflict, instability and population migrations away from those regions. More peace and economic growth can benefit everyone globally in the long run. So really, it's a moral thing to do but it also makes strategic sense.In conclusion, I believe rich countries definitely should help poor countries. It's simply the right thing to do - when you have abundance, you should absolutely share with those in need. We're all human, we're all part of one world together. By being generous through foreign aid and development initiatives, wealthy nations can improve living conditions, human rights, health and education access for millions around the globe. At the same time, it promotes more stability and economic potential in impoverished regions long-term, which is good for everyone. I really hope rich countries will continue stepping up to help out!。
一些人认为财富能带来快乐的英文作文Some people believe that wealth can bring happiness, while others may argue that true happiness cannot be bought with money. In this essay, we will explore both sides of the argument and discuss the different perspectives on the relationship between wealth and happiness.Those who believe that wealth can bring happiness often point to the benefits that money can provide. With financial stability, individuals can afford a comfortable lifestyle, access to quality healthcare, education, and leisure activities. They can travel to exotic places, dine in luxurious restaurants, and indulge in hobbies and interests without worrying about the cost. In addition, financial security can reduce stress and anxiety, as individuals can rest assured that their needs and wants are taken care of.Furthermore, wealth can also enable individuals to help others and make a positive impact on the world. With the resources at their disposal, wealthy people can donate to charity, support important causes, and contribute to the well-being of society. This philanthropic work can be incredibly fulfilling and bring a sense of purpose and satisfaction that may not be attainable through other means.On the other hand, some argue that wealth does not guarantee happiness and may even have negative effects on well-being. Material possessions and superficial pleasures can provide temporary satisfaction, but they do not lead to lasting fulfillment or contentment. In fact, the pursuit of wealth and material gain can sometimes lead to feelings of emptiness, greed, and dissatisfaction. People may become consumed by the desire for more money and possessions, neglecting their relationships, health, and spiritual well-being in the process.Moreover, studies have shown that once basic needs are met, there is no significant correlation between wealth and happiness. Beyond a certain point, money does not lead to increased levels of happiness or life satisfaction. Instead, other factors such as strong social connections, meaningful work, and personal growth play a more significant role in overall well-being.In conclusion, the relationship between wealth and happiness is complex and multifaceted. While money can provide opportunities and comforts that enhance quality of life, true happiness cannot be bought with material possessions alone. It is important for individuals to consider their values, priorities, and relationships in order to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and well-being. Ultimately, the pursuit of happinessshould involve a balance between financial security and other aspects of life that contribute to a sense of purpose, meaning, and connection.。
为什么有的人成功有的人失败英语作文全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Have you ever wondered why some people are super successful in life while others struggle and fail? It's a question that has puzzled kids and grown-ups for a really long time. After doing a lot of thinking and observing the world around me, I've come up with some ideas on this topic that I want to share with you.First of all, let's talk about what success and failure actually mean. To me, success means achieving your goals and dreams, feeling happy and fulfilled. Failure is when you try really hard at something but don't get the result you wanted. But here's an important thing to remember - failure isn't permanent unless you let it be. The most successful people have experienced lots of failures along the way, but they didn't give up.One big reason some people succeed is because they work incredibly hard. My dad always says, "There's no substitute for hard work." Successful people don't just wait around for good things to happen, they put in long hours, make sacrifices, and dowhatever it takes to reach their objectives. They have something called perseverance, which means they never give up even when things get really tough.Another key ingredient is passion. People who are passionate about what they do don't see their work as hard or boring. Instead, they genuinely love it and this drives them to give their absolute best effort every single day. My aunt is a scientist and she says her curiosity and desire to discover new things gets her out of bed excited every morning. Passion is what separates those who settle for average from those who strive for excellence.In addition to hard work and passion, successful people tend to have very clear goals that they stick to no matter what. They map out a plan for where they want to go in life and what steps they need to take to get there. This gives them laser focus. My best friend's older brother has had his heart set on becoming a doctor since we were little kids. Now he's about to start medical school because he never lost sight of his goal.Something else I've noticed is that successful people are always trying to learn and improve themselves. They read a ton, take classes, listen to podcasts, you name it. They understand that being successful means you can never stop growing. Mymom is a business owner and she has a long list of books she reads to learn about things like management, marketing, and communication skills.Confidence is another common trait. Now, I'm not talking about the kind of obnoxious over-confidence that makes people brag all the time. I mean an inner belief in one's abilities to deal with challenges and overcome obstacles. Successful people trust themselves and aren't paralyzed by fears or doubts. When an opportunity knocks, they answer with a resounding "Yes, I can do this!"One of the most important factors is having a positive attitude. Successful people don't get bogged down by negative thoughts or pessimism. Sure, they have moments of discouragement like anyone else, but they are able to bounce back quickly with a mindset focused on solutions rather than problems. No matter how dark the situation seems, they have faith that brighter days are ahead if they just hang in there.In contrast, people who experience failure often struggle because ofpoor attitudes, lack of direction, or bad habits. They make excuses instead of putting in the hard work required. Or they simply have a fixed mindset and belief that they'll neveramount to anything. Sometimes they are unmotivated and lazy, watching life pass them by while sitting on the couch.Friends, I hope you can see that whether you achieve success or failure often comes down to the ingredients you choose for your life recipe. Mix in passion, perseverance, focus, continuous learning, confidence, and a positive attitude and success is cookin'! But be careful not to add in too many helpings of procrastination, fear, negativity, or quitting at the first sign of difficulty.Ultimately, we all have the potential for success within us. It's up to each individual to decide if they'll use it or not. The wonderful thing is that it's never too late to change course from failure to success. Just look at inspiring examples like scientist Albert Einstein who was expelled from school or Oprah Winfrey who overcame poverty, abuse, and prejudice to become a media mogul.So keep working, keep dreaming, and believe in yourself! You've got this! I'm rooting for all of you to be the next big success stories that people will talk about one day. Stay hungry, stay humble, and don't stop until you've made your biggest dreams come true.篇2Why Do Some People Succeed While Others Fail?Have you ever wondered why some people are super successful while others just can't seem to get ahead? I have, and I've been thinking a lot about it lately. You see kids being really good at stuff like sports, or music, or getting great grades. And then there are others who struggle and can't seem to do as well no matter how hard they try. What makes the difference?I think there are a few key reasons why some people succeed more than others. The first one is motivation – having a strong drive and really wanting to achieve something. The successful kids are always the ones who love what they do and put in tons of hard work to get better at it. They don't just goof around. My friend Jake is like that with baseball. He's obsessed! He's always practicing his swing and his fielding after school. No wonder he's the best player on our team.On the other hand, kids who aren't very motivated tend not to put in that extra effort. They might start things but then get bored or distracted easily. Like my buddy Sam joined the art club but then quit after a few weeks because he said it was "too muchwork." Well, duh! If you want to be good at drawing, you have to practice all the time, not just once in a while.The second big reason is having a positive attitude. I notice that the kids who believe in themselves and stay upbeat even when things get tough are way more likely to succeed. Like last year when my sister Amy kept messing up her dance routines, she could have gotten all down on herself and negative. But instead she told herself "I can do this if I keep trying" and she ended up nailing her solo at the big recital.The kids who think negative thoughts and call themselves "stupid" or "a loser" whenever they fail at something are just setting themselves up to feel worse. It's like they've already decided they're going to be a failure before they even really tried their best. No wonder they end up struggling and giving up –they don't think they can succeed anyway! Having a positive mindset makes a huge difference.Another thing that helps is being able to set goals and follow a plan to achieve them. Lots of times I see kids who say "I want to be amazing at basketball" or whatever, but then they don't actually make a plan for how to get there step-by-step. Or they bite off way more than they can chew instead of taking itstep-by-step.Like if I decided I wanted to be a great artist, it wouldn't be smart for me to sign up for some super hard college-level art class right away as my first step. That would be way too advanced and I'd definitely fail. The smarter plan would be to start with some basic drawing lessons, practice those skills, then move on to an intermediate class, and so on. Baby steps!The kids who map out a clear path and follow it patiently are the ones who tend to improve steadily over time. They celebrate small wins along the way instead of getting frustrated because they can't do everything perfectly right from the start.Having good habits is also really important for being successful. You can be motivated and have a great plan, but if you don't actually follow through on doing the work every day, it won't matter. The successful kids are the ones who develop good habits like setting a schedule, staying focused, managing their time well, and not making excuses to slack off.For example, my friend Emma is at the very top of our class. She doesn't just cram for tests at the last minute but studies a little bit every night, takes good notes, and turns assignments in on time, even if they're not due for a while. Building habits like this allows her to stay on top of everything without feeling stressed or overwhelmed.Another huge factor is having good supportive people around you who encourage you and help you to keep going. Plenty of kids I know struggle because they have negative people in their life putting them down or saying they'll never amount to anything. Those kinds of attitudes are like poison that makes you start believing you really can't do it.On the other hand, kids with people cheering them on and giving them confidence tend to go a lot farther. My parents are like that for me - they're always telling me I can accomplish anything I put my mind to as long as I work hard. Their belief in me pushes me to do my best because I don't want to let them down. My teachers are also really supportive and encouraging, not just criticizing whenever I make mistakes.The last big thing I think makes some people more successful than others is their ability to learn from failures and mistakes instead of letting them stop them completely. Even the most accomplished people in the world have experienced plenty of setbacks and rejections on their way to success. But the difference is how they handled those failures.The kids I know who bounce back quickly are the ones who don't take it as a complete tragedy if they mess up or don't win something. They look at what went wrong, figure out how toimprove, and then try again with a better strategy instead of just quitting. Failure is apenas a little detour, not the end of the road.But the kids who crumble any time something doesn't go perfectly right away are the ones who tend to get left behind. One bad grade or loss is all it takes for them to decide they're just "not good enough" and give up before they've even really gotten started.So in summary, I think the main things that lead to success based on what I've seen are: Strong motivation, a positive mindset, good goal-setting, habits, supportive people, and resilience when facing setbacks. The kids who have most or all of those qualities are a lot more likely to achieve great things than those who get easily discouraged or distracted.Of course, it's not always easy to have all those things in place, especially when you're just starting out still figuring things out. But paying attention to developing those skills is sure to help set anyone up for greater success, whatever they chose to do. I'm going to really work on them myself because I have big dreams I want to accomplish! Who's with me?篇3Why Do Some People Succeed While Others Fail?Have you ever wondered why some people seem to achieve great things while others struggle? It's a question that has puzzled people for a long time. As a kid, I see examples of this all around me - some students ace every test while others can barely pass. Some kids are star athletes while others just can't seem to get the hang of sports. Even at my age, it's clear that some people are on the path to success while others face failure regularly. So what makes the difference? Let me share my thoughts.First off, I think a big part of success comes down to hard work and determination. The kids who get straight A's or win every soccer game are usually the ones putting in long hours of studying or training. They have a goal they're striving for and they're willing to make sacrifices to reach it. On the other hand, the kids who slack off or goof around during practice are a lot less likely to succeed. It's like my dad always says - if you want something, you have to work for it. Easy things aren't worth much.But hard work alone isn't enough to guarantee success. You also need natural talents and abilities. Even the hardest working student will struggle in a subject if they just don't have an aptitude for it. And the most dedicated athlete might not makethe team if they simply lack the physical gifts needed. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses. The successful people are those who can identify and develop their natural talents from an early age.Of course, it also helps a lot if you have belief in yourself and stay positive. The kids who think "I'm no good at this" or "I'll never get it" are setting themselves up for failure before they even begin. But the ones who keep trying and telling themselves "I can do this if I work hard" give themselves a huge advantage. Having confidence and faith in your abilities is super important for achieving success.Another thing I've noticed is that successful people seem to have a knack for overcoming setbacks and learning from their mistakes. We all face obstacles and failures from time to time, even the most talented people. But the difference is how we respond. Do you bounce back quickly and figure out how to improve? Or do you get discouraged and start feeling sorry for yourself? The successful kids are able to shake off the disappointments, analyze what went wrong, and keep pushing forward.Family support and good guidance can also contribute a lot to success. Kids with parents or teachers who believe in themand encourage them every step of the way have a much easier path to achieving their goals. It really helps to have people in your corner who want you to succeed as much as you do. But kids whose families are unsupportive or even put them down face an uphill climb from the start.At the same time, I've observed that drive and hunger for success often comes from humble beginnings and overcoming adversity early in life. A lot of super successful people were actually poor growing up or faced all sorts of difficulties as kids. But instead of letting it discourage them, they used it as fuel and motivation to give themselves the opportunities in life they didn't have at first. Sometimes having it too easy makes people lazy and take things for granted.But you know, when it really comes down to it, I think a lot of success is just a matter of making the right choices consistently over time. Every day we face small decisions that can take us one step closer to our goals or moves us away from them. Do I put in an honest effort on this assignment or just slack off? Do I go to practice and give 100% or find an excuse to skip it? Do I spend my free time learning and growing, or just waste it? The people who succeed are simply better at making the right call more often over months and years. It's a lot of little things adding up.Of course, luck and timing play a role too that we can't ignore. Being in the right place at the right time can open huge doors for success that others don't get. Or an unexpected stroke of good (or bad) fortune can change everything in an instant. But you also have to put yourself in position to capitalize on lucky breaks and prepare for opportunities when they arise.At the end of the day, I know there are a lot of factors involved in why some people succeed while others fail. Natural talents, work ethic, mindset, environment, choices, luck - they all play a part. And the truth is, success looks a little different for everyone depending on their own goals and circumstances.But here's what I've learned so far: If you can find whatyou're truly passionate about and apply yourself fully with commitment and perseverance, you'll give yourself the best shot at making it happen. Embrace the talents you were given, but don't let perceived limitations define you or hold you back from growing. Stay hungry, keep a positive mindset, and turn your setbacks into lessons to improve. Make the right choices more often than not, and don't waste a day. And appreciate any support you have, but be driven enough to create your own opportunities too.Do all that, and I think you'll find a path to success, whatever that means for you. At least that's how I see it at this age! Who knows what life has in store, but I'm excited to take my shot. Maybe I'll be one of the success stories myself one day.。
高三科学与伦理英语阅读理解20题1<背景文章>Gene - editing technology has emerged as a revolutionary force in the medical field in recent years. It holds great promise for treating a wide range of genetic diseases. For example, in some inherited disorders like cystic fibrosis, gene - editing tools such as CRISPR - Cas9 can potentially correct the faulty genes responsible for the disease. This technology can also be used in cancer treatment. By editing the genes in immune cells, these cells can be made more effective in attacking cancer cells.However, the application of gene - editing technology has also sparked intense ethical debates. One major concern is the so - called "designer babies." If gene - editing is used to enhance non - medical traits like intelligence or physical appearance in embryos, it could lead to a new form of eugenics. This violates the principle of equality and the natural lottery of human genetics. Another ethical issue is the potential for unforeseen consequences. Since gene - editing is a relatively new technology, we may not fully understand all the long - term effects it could have on individuals and the human gene pool.In response to these concerns, various laws and regulations have been proposed and implemented. In many countries, strict regulations are inplace to limit the use of gene - editing in human embryos for non - medical purposes. For instance, some countries prohibit any form of germ - line gene - editing (editing genes that can be passed on to future generations) in humans altogether. These regulations aim to balance the potential benefits of gene - editing technology with the need to protect human dignity and the integrity of the human genome.1. <问题1>What is one of the main applications of gene - editing technology in the medical field according to the article?A. Creating "designer babies"B. Treating genetic diseases like cystic fibrosisC. Changing people's physical appearance directlyD. Causing new types of cancers答案:B。

More and more qualified people are moving from poor to rich countries to fill vacancies in specialist areas like engineering, computing and medicine. Some people believe that by encouraging the movement of such people, rich countries are stealing from poor countries. Others feel that this is only part of the natural movement of workers around the world.Which viewpoint do you agree with? Why? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.Sample Answer:Migrating to other countries is a phenomenon that can be rooted to the very ancient period ofhuman civilisation. People move to other countries and places for better life, a better environment and better settlement. The number of qualified and skilled people migrating to developed countries from comparatively poor countries is increasing rapidly and some people think that it is a natural human tendency to settle in a better environment rather than to stay in their home country. On the contrary other groups of people find it hard to accept that it is a natural trend and criticise the rich nations for the brain drain. I believe that rich countries to some extent allure talented individuals to settle therebut mostly it is decided by individuals and it is a natural movement by talented people.To begin with, the life standard, security, career growth, political environment, research facilities and many other aspects of a better life in rich countries are far better than the poor nations. That is why capable individuals who might contribute to a great extent for a country are often allured by the rich nations to move and work there. The brain drain system that mainly attracts talented professionals to settle in rich nations could not be denied. According to a recent statistics, more than 10 percent talentedindividuals from Asian countries are permanently living and working in countries like the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada and Sweden. Rich nations have many large and world known organisations that hunt for the talented people who are in IT, engineering, medicine or in other similar professions from poor nations and encourage them to contribute for their countries. Because of this talent hunt or more specifically brain drain system many poor nations are suffering from the scarcity of talented professionals. These individuals were supported and financed by the poor countries and when the time has come to repay and show patriotism,they are working for the development of rich nations. From this regards, some people accept that the rich countries are actually stealing capable professionals from poor nations.But it can be easily understood that no rich nation can force a talented individual to migrate there and that’s why it is a decision taken by a person. Skilled professionals and workers are migrating to rich nations to have a better life and better salary. They can easily compare the life and career prospect their home country would offer with the opportunity they will get if they move to a rich nation. Should not poor nationsprovide better facilities for those gifted and skilled people to work at home country and ensure better lifestyle? The political instability, insecurity, discrimination in workplace are three major reasons people move to a rich nation.Again, rich nations are not only giving the opportunity to talented individuals, they are also allowing students, labours refuses, minors and family members of workers. So from this regards, we can’t blame them tha t they are stealing talents from poor nations. Moving to a better place has always been a natural trend throughout the very beginning of humanexistence. People always moved from one place to another to get a better place to live in. Moving to a better place is a tendency we have inherited from our forefathers. Many skilled professionals through work in rich nations do not forget their home countries in most cases. They are the primary revenue earners for poor nations and from this regards, they are contributing towards the development of a poor country. It is often seen that a middle-aged skilled professional often come back to his home country and contribute even more from the experience he has gathered through working in a rich nation.In conclusion, migrating to rich nations is a natural trend for expert professionals, which are mostly their own choices for better and secured life rather than the rich nations’ advertised temptation for them.。

国家的财富与人民的幸福英语作文A Nation's Wealth and Its People's HappinessHave you ever thought about what makes a country truly rich and successful? Many people think that a nation's wealth is all about having a lot of money, fancy buildings, and expensive cars. But I've learned that there's much more to it than that. True wealth comes from having happy and healthy citizens who feel proud of their country.My teacher says that a nation's wealth should be measured by how well it takes care of its people, not just by how much money it has in the bank. She told us that some countries have a lot of money, but their people are poor, hungry, and unhappy. Other countries don't have as much money, but they make sure that everyone has enough food, a place to live, and access to good schools and hospitals. Those are the truly wealthy nations.In my opinion, one of the most important things that makes people happy is feeling safe and protected. If you're always worried about violence, crime, or war, it's really hard to be truly happy. That's why I think a country needs to have a strong military to defend its borders and keep its citizens safe. But it'salso important to have good police officers who can stop crime and make people feel secure in their own neighborhoods.Another key to happiness is having access to good education. When people are well-educated, they can get better jobs, earn more money, and provide for their families. Education also helps people learn about the world around them, think critically, and make good decisions. Countries that invest in great schools, universities, and libraries are helping their citizens become smarter, more successful, and happier.But happiness isn't just about physical needs – it's also about feeling fulfilled emotionally and spiritually. People need to feel like they belong to a community, have strong family and social connections, and can practice their religious or cultural traditions freely. Countries that promote diversity, tolerance, and freedom of expression tend to have happier citizens.Environmental protection is another key factor in a nation's wealth and its people's happiness. If the air and water are polluted, if forests are being destroyed, and if animals are going extinct, it's really hard for people to feel truly happy and at peace. We need to take care of our beautiful planet so that we can enjoy its natural wonders for generations to come.Lastly, I think happiness comes from feeling proud of your country and believing that it stands for good values like justice, equality, and human rights. When people see their government treating everyone fairly, protecting the rights of minorities, and working to make the world a better place, they feel proud to be citizens of that nation. Countries that are respected around the world for their positive contributions tend to have happier, more patriotic citizens.So in my opinion, a truly wealthy nation isn't just one with a big economy and lots of money. It's a nation that prioritizes the wellbeing, safety, education, health, and happiness of its people. It's a country that promotes strong communities, protects the environment, and upholds noble values. Those are the real measures of a nation's wealth – and that's the kind of country I hope to live in when I grow up.。
作为青少年如何为国家发展做贡献英语作文How Teenagers Can Help Their CountryHi there! My name is Jessica and I'm 10 years old. Today I want to talk about something really important - how teenagers can help make their country an even better place. It's a big topic, but I'll do my best to cover the main points.First of all, it's good to understand why the contributions of teenagers matter so much. You might think, "But I'm just a kid, what can I do?" The truth is, you're never too young to start making a positive impact. Teenagers are the future leaders, innovators, and problem-solvers of their nations. The ideas, energy and efforts you put in now can shape the direction your country takes for many years to come.So how exactly can teens contribute? There are lots of great ways! Let me tell you about some of the most important ones:Contributing Through EducationOne of the biggest ways you can help your country is by studying hard and getting a great education. By learning as much as you can in school about subjects like math, science, history, and language arts, you'll gain valuable knowledge and skills. An educated population is key for driving innovation,economic growth, and progress in any nation. So hit those books and soak up all the information you can!Volunteering and Community ServiceAnother awesome way for teens to make a difference is through volunteering and community service projects. This could mean things like picking up litter in your neighborhood park, visiting senior homes, tutoring younger kids, or helping out at a food bank or animal shelter. Giving your time and effort to worthwhile causes benefits society and also teaches you important values like compassion and responsibility. Look for volunteer opportunities you feel passionate about.Developing Leadership SkillsEvery country needs strong leaders to help guide it towards a better future. As a teenager, you can start honing leadership abilities by joining school clubs, taking on responsibilities at home, or organizing events and initiatives in your community. Practice skills like public speaking, delegating tasks, rallying people around a cause, and working together as a team. The leadership experience will be invaluable.Being an Innovative ThinkerNew ideas are essential for solving the big challenges facing nations, whether that's improving education and healthcare, protecting the environment, or fostering peace and equality. Teenagers, with your fresh perspectives and creativity, are perfectly poised to be innovative thinkers! Don't be afraid to look at problems from new angles and imagine bold solutions. The inventions, businesses, policies or movements you dream up today could transform your country tomorrow.Promoting Cultural Pride and DiversityThe unique cultural traditions, values, art forms and histories of every country are treasures to celebrate with pride. As a teen, you can contribute by learning about your nation's rich heritage and sharing it with others. At the same time, having respect and appreciation for the diversity of cultures enriches society. Be a bridge-builder who brings people together across ethnic, religious or racial divides.Responsible CitizenshipFinally, a crucial way for teenagers to impact their country is by being a model citizen and embodying positive civic values. This means things like obeying laws, paying taxes when you start working, participating in the democratic process by voting, conserving natural resources, and treating others with respectand kindness. It also means speaking up against injustice, corruption or actions that undermine your nation's principles. Good citizens strengthen the very foundation a country is built upon.So those are some of the key areas where teenagers can devote their energy and talents to contributing to national development. I know it may sound like a lot, but just take it one step at a time. You could start a recycling program at your school, or volunteer to read books to kids at the local library on weekends. Every positive action, no matter how small, creates ripples that can lead to major waves of change.We teenagers may be young, but we are mighty. With our idealism, enthusiasm and passion, we have the power to shape our countries' paths for generations to come. So let's rise to the challenge! Our nations are counting on us to build a better world. If we all work hard and pull together, I know we can make it happen. Let's get started today!。

Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China.①______Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.②______The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying.

Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used.③______Some ingredients —like carrots, onions and tomatoes —are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats — like pig ears — most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.④______Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent(同等物)in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily.⑤______.A.

One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.2.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
MELISSA BLOCK, HOST: Why are some countries rich while others are poor? Adam Davidson of NPR's Planet Money has been talking with economists, who say their colleagues have been looking for an answer in all of the wrong places.
ADAM DA VIDSON, BYLINE:The question: why are some nations rich while others are poor, is the most important question in economics. And after centuries of trying to figure out the answer, economists still don't know. Until, maybe, just maybe - right now.
Two important economists have come out with a new book that they say, and many others agree, may offer the answer. The book is called "Why Nations Fail." One of the authors, Harvard's James Robinson, says the reason economists haven't succeeded so far is that they've been so obsessed with mathematical models of fictional economies that don't actually exist.
JAMES ROBINSON: Economists sort of lock themselves into a straitjacket, you know, in the late 19th century. And one of the things that was out of economics was politics. The more and more I read about problems of development in Africa or Latin America, or wherever it was, politics just seemed so central to understanding what was going on.
DA VIDSON: To those of us who are not economists, this radical idea seems pretty obvious. Yeah, politics of course plays a huge role in why some countries are poor and others aren't. But economists kept looking to things that Robinson and his co-author, MIT's Daron Acemoglu, say are secondary: like the existence or absence of natural resources or how healthy the population is. The two authors became renowned for a series of papers that showed in the clear mathematics that economists like, that politics is not a secondary thing. It is the core driver explaining different levels of wealth.
What Robinson and Acemoglu did is they scoured the world for populations or geographic areas that are very similar. They're similar in almost every respect except for one thing - they are on opposite sides of an arbitrary political border.
Here's Daron Acemoglu.
DARON ACEMOGLU: Korea - so, you know, Korea was an unusually homogeneous country - linguistically, ethnically, culturally, historically. At the 38th Parallel, you have a border drawn and then, you know, the next subsequent 50 years you see the two parts of it diverge to such an extent that today, you know, the income gap between the South and North is over tenfold.
DA VIDSON:The two Koreas may be an extreme example but you can see very similar things on the border of the U.S. and Mexico, in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and dozens of other neighboring countries. In all of these cases, the people and land are fairly similar but the border changed everything.
ACEMOGLU:It's all about institutions. It's really about human-made systems, rules, regulations - formal or informal - that create different incentives.
DA VIDSON: When these guys talk about institutions they mean the word as broadly as possible. It's the formal rules and laws, but it's also the norms and common practices of a society. Acemoglu and Robinson say the key difference between rich countries and poor ones is the degree to which a country has institutions that keep a small elite from grabbing all the wealth.
Think of a poor farmer in Haiti or the Congo today. Sure, he could, maybe, irrigate his land and till the soil and grow more stuff. But he knows that the institutions in place guarantee that some well-connected member of the elite is going to show up and claim the spoils. So what's the point? The poor have no incentive to invest in land or businesses, or to accumulate savings. The result: Undeveloped land and a poor nation.
ROBINSON: Ultimately what needs to change is that those countries have to make a transition to having inclusive institutions. And that's not something that throwing money at them can achieve. That's a sort of social, political transformation in society.
DA VIDSON:This can seem discouraging but their message does offer hope. Poverty is not the inevitable result of bad geography, bad culture, bad history. It's the result of us: of the ways that people choose to organize their societies. And that means we can change things.
