经济学人原文Making trouble：UK needs an industrial strategy to compete in manufacturing【1】Countries that are serious about manufacturing have industrial strategies.The US and China have one. So do Germany and France. Britain does not . Rishi Sunak talks about turning the UK into a “science and technology superpower” but that’s all it is: talk. It is a PR strategy masquerading as an industrial strategy.【2】Faced with the challenge presented by Joe Biden’s inflation reduction act (IRA), the government says it has no need to respond to the package of green subsidies being provided by Washington because Britain has already established a thriving renewables sector and the Americans are playing catch up. The complacency is staggering.【3】Andy Haldane , once the Bank of England’s chief economist and now the chief executive of the Royal Society of Arts, last week said: “The world is facing right now an arms race in re-industrialisation. And I think we’re at risk of falling behind in that arms race unless we give itthe giddy-up.”【4】China, Haldane added, had been focusing on green technology for many, many years and had forged ahead in tech such as solar and batteries. “The west has belatedly woken up,” he said. “The IRA is throwing cash to the wall on that. The cost of that [is] almost certainly north of half a trillion dollars. Possibly north of $1tn. The EU is now playing catch up, [and] the UK currently is not really in the race at any kind of scale.”【5】A quick glance at the latest trade figures shows Britain has some way to go to be a manufacturing“superpower”.manufacturing’s share of the economy shrank from more than 30% to less than 10% of national output in Elizabeth II’s reign. The goods deficit, last in surplus in the early 1980s, stood at £55bn in the first three months of this year, with imports more than 50% higher than exports. A £40bn quarterly surplus in services was not enough to close the trade gap.【6】Those who supported Brexit say the UK now has the freedom to export more to faster growing parts of the world economy . Those who opposed it say exporting to the EU has become more burdensome. Both are right, but both are missing the point. Before Britain can take advantage of export opportunities it has to have stuff to export. The fact is the UK is no longer a firstrank manufacturing economy and hasn’t been for decades.【7】Dyson’s recent announcement that it will build a battery factory in Singapore is a perfect illustration of the challenge facing the UK. There was never the remotest possibility that the plant would be in the UK due to what its founder James Dyson, a prominent Brexit supporter, called in a letter to the Times, t he “scandalous neglect” of science and technology businesses.【8】Only part of the company’s reluctance to manufacture in the UK is due to the recent jump in corporation tax, though that wipes out any benefit from tax breaks for research and development. It is also the planning system, the lack of trained engineers, the disdain shown for science and technology, and government interference in the way businesses are run.【9】The company says the UK will remain a centre for R&D, and it will invest £100m in a new tech centre in Bristol for software and AI research. But the idea that Britain can do all the high-value brain power stuff while other countries do the production is an illusion. Increasingly, Dyson’s R&D happens in Singapore, the site of its global HQ, and in the Philippines.【10】Dyson is by no means alone. A report by the lobby group Make UK found that six in 10manufacturers thought government had never had a longterm vision for manufacturing, while eight in 10 considered the absence of a strategy put their company at a competitive disadvantage compared with other manufacturing nations. It is no surprise that AstraZeneca recently announced it was building its new factory in Ireland .【11】Stephen Phipson, Make UK ’s chief executive , said last week the US was spending 1.5% of national output on its IRA. The equivalent sum in the UK would be £33bn. It was not just the money, though. “A lack of a proper, planned industrial strategy is the UK’s achilles heel ,” Phipson said. “Every other major economy, from Germany, to China, to the US, has a long-term national manufacturing plan, underlying the importance of an industrial base to the success of its wider economy. The UK is the only country to not have one.“If we are to not only tackle our regional inequality, but also compete on a global stage, we need a national industrial strategy as a matter of urgency.”【12】One option is to concentrate instead on sectors where the UK does have global clout: financial and business services, for example. In that case, the pretence has to stop that levelling up will be delivered by new factories turning out world-beating products.The government can either make Britain an attractive place for manufacturing companies to invest or it can decide not to compete. Judged by its actions rather than by its rhetoric, it seems to have chosen the latter option.。

新一代大学英语提高篇2第三单元课文读后感After reading the third unit of the advanced edition of New College English, I felt a sense of enlightenment and motivation. The text mainly focuses on the theme of multiculturalism and diversity, tackling issues such as racial discrimination, gender equality, and cultural differences. The stories and examples presented in the text shed light on the importance of understanding and respecting different cultures and perspectives.One of the stories that struck me the most was about a Chinese immigrant who faced discrimination and prejudice in a foreign country. Despite the challenges he faced, he remained resilient and determined to succeed. This story reminded me of the struggles that many immigrants face when trying to adapt to a new culture and society. It made me realize the importance of empathy and compassion towards others who may be different from us.Another story that resonated with me was about a young woman who fought for gender equality in her community. She faced resistance and criticism from traditionalists, but she never gave up on her beliefs. This story inspired me to stand up forwhat I believe in and to never be afraid to challenge the status quo.Overall, reading the third unit of New College English has broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the importance of multiculturalism and diversity. It has motivated me to be more open-minded, tolerant, and accepting of others. I believe that embracing diversity is the key to building a more harmonious and inclusive society. I look forward to continuing my journey of learning and growing through the pages of this insightful textbook.。

UNIT 1 PASSAGES OF HUMAN GROWTH (I)1 A person’s life at any given time incorporates both external and internal aspects. The external system is composed of our memberships in the culture: our job, social class, family and social roles, how we present ourselves to and participate in the world. The interior realm concerns the meanings this participation has for each of us. In what ways are our values, goals, and aspirations being invigorated or violated by our present life system? How many parts of our personality can we live out, and what parts are we suppressing? How do we feel about our way of living in the world at any given time?1．一个人在每一特定时期内的生活都是由外部生活和内心生活这两个方面结合而成的。

外部生活是指我们在文明社会中的实际生活（对文明社会中实际活动的参与），其中包括我们的工作、社会地位、家庭生活、（担当的）社会角色、我们如何向社会展现自己，以及如何参与到社会中去等。

内心生活是指我们所参与的种种外部活动对我们个人产生的影响。

例如，我们目前的生活体系是符合我们的价值观、目标和理想呢，还是与之相违背? 我们的个性能在多大程度上得到发挥，还是受到某种程度的压抑? 在每一特定时期，我们对自己的生活方式又有何种感受?2 The inner realm is where the crucial shifts in bedrock begin to throw a person off balance, signaling the necessity to change and move on to a new footing in the next stage of development. These crucial shifts occur throughout life, yet people consistently refuse to recognize that they possess an internal life system. Ask anyone who seems down, “Why are you feeling low?” Most will displace the inner message onto a marker event: “I’ve been down since we moved, since I changed jobs, since my wife went back to graduate school and turned into a damn social worker in sackcloth,” and so on. Probably less than ten percent would say: “There is some unknown disturbance within me, and even though it’s painful, I feel I have to stay with it and ride it out.” Even fewer people would be able to explain that the turbulence they feel may have no external cause. And yet it may not resolve itself for several years.2．正是在人的内心世界这个领域中，一些重大的和基本的转变开始使人失去自我平衡，这就意味着必须进行调整，以步人人生发展的下一个阶段。

经济学家用"边际变化"一词来描述小的内特内塔帕调整到现有的行动计划。

请记住,边距意味着"边缘,所以边缘更改是围绕您正在执行的操作的边缘进行调整。

理性的人经常通过比较边际收益和边际成本来做出决策。

3、例如,考虑航空公司决定向飞行的乘客收取多少费用待机. 假设在美国驾驶一架 200 座的飞机花费航空公司在这种情况下,每个座位的平均费用为100,000美元/200美元,即500美元。

有人可能会得出这样的结论:航空公司绝不应该以较低的的价格出售机票。

500.In美元的事实,一个理性的航空公司往往可以找到办法,通过思考提高利润在边缘。

想象一下,一架飞机即将起飞,有10个空座位,和在登机口等候的候补乘客将支付300美元作为座位。

如果航空公司出售票？当然,它应该。

如果飞机有空座位,则增加一个座位的成本乘客很小。

虽然乘客乘坐飞机的平均费用为500美元,但边际成本只是花生袋和汽水罐的成本,额外的乘客将消耗。

只要候补乘客支付的比边际成本多,卖票是有利可图的。

4、边际决策有助于解释一些否则令人费解的经济现象。

这里有一个经典的问题:为什么水这么便宜,而钻石这么贵？人类需要水才能生存,而钻石是不必要的;出于某种原因,人们愿意为钻石支付比为钻石多得多的费用。

青年人就要自找苦吃作文评分标准英文回答：In the realm of adolescence, the pursuit of self-inflicted hardship has been a recurrent theme throughout history. From the ascetic practices of ancient philosophers to the extreme challenges undertaken by modern thrill-seekers, the notion of voluntarily enduring discomfort and adversity has captured the imagination of countless young people. While the motivations for self-imposed suffering may vary widely, they often share a common thread: a desire for growth, self-discovery, and a sense of accomplishment.One prevalent reason why young people seek out adversity is to test their limits and discover their capabilities. By pushing themselves beyond their perceived boundaries, they gain a firsthand understanding of their own strength and resilience. This can be particularly valuable in a world where societal expectations and technological advancements can often lead to a sense ofcomplacency and diminished physical and mental challenges.Moreover, self-imposed hardship can serve as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. By confrontingtheir fears, embracing discomfort, and persevering through adversity, young people develop a greater sense of self-awareness, resilience, and adaptability. These traits are invaluable in navigating the complexities of adult life and pursuing their aspirations with determination.Another motivation for seeking out self-inflicted hardship is the quest for a deeper meaning and purpose in life. For some young people, the pursuit of comfort and luxury alone can feel unfulfilling and devoid of significance. By willingly enduring challenges, they seek to create a sense of accomplishment and to leave a lasting mark on the world. This can manifest in a variety of forms, such as volunteering, community service, or embarking on humanitarian missions.Additionally, self-imposed suffering can be a means of connecting with others and forging strong bonds. Sharedexperiences of adversity can create a sense of camaraderie and mutual respect among young people. It can also foster empathy and compassion for those who may be facing similar challenges.Of course, it is important to emphasize that self-inflicted hardship should not be pursued blindly or recklessly. It is essential to approach such challengeswith careful consideration and to ensure that they are undertaken for the right reasons and with appropriate safeguards in place. Mentorship, support from peers and family, and a well-rounded understanding of the potential risks and benefits are all crucial for ensuring that self-imposed suffering contributes positively to a youngperson's development.中文回答：青年人为何自找苦吃。
