VOA常速英语听力2012年11月合辑（文本）：Chinas-New-Leaders-Face-Economic-ChallengesWilliam IdeNov ember 01, 2012China's modern cities are built on a massive scale, with architecture in places such as Beijing that ranges from avant-garde to out of this world. But, just above Beijing's busy street corners are signs of the threats China's economy is facing.Beijing based-economist Patrick Chovanec says "I think that the empty buildings that you see cut to the core of how China has been driving growth over the past few years," says . It's been an investment boom and so China has been driving growth by creating capacity, capacity in housing, in infrastructure, in production. And, in order for that growth to be real, there has to be an end user and that's the challenge, where does the end user come from.When the global financ ial crisis hit in 2008, China insulated itself from the slowdown by launching a nearly $590 billion stimulus. But now, as the country's annual growth is expected to slow to below eight percent this year, economists caution that same strategy will not work."That investment boom that has kept the Chinese economy growing in the face of the global economic slowdown, that investment boom is breaking down, it is buckling under its own weight," says Chovanec. "The bad debt and to some extent, the i nflation that has been created by pumping the economy full of money has created an unsustainable situation.Economists say about 80 percent of China's massive 2008 stimulus package went to state-owned enterprises, which still dominate the economy. Weakening their influence is a key challenge for China's new leaders, says economics professor Hu Xingdou. Hu says that state enterprises account for about a third of t he Chinese economy."But, even with that proportion, they lead the Chin ese economy," said Hu. "Even though they constitute only 30-40 percent of the Chinese economy, they control China's economy and all of those sectors where money is made.Breaking the monopoly that state-run enterprises have over the economy will not be easy, especially because of the political power and influence they wie ld."Because there are two main problems with the Chinese economy," Hu added. "One isthat power interferes too much in economic issues, the second issue is monopolies, and the i mpact they have on the structure of the economy.It remains unc lear what plans China's new leaders have for the state-owned enterprises, but the stakes are high. Maintaining a stable economy is a key reason why Chinese remain willing to accept the party's continued monopoly on political power.。

The Labor Department also revised job number s higher for August and September - adding 84,000 more workers to company payrolls. Even as employers ramped up hiring, however, the nation's unemployment rate was rising - up one tenth of one percent.The last major economic report before Americans head to the polls shows hiring accelerated in October. That's welcome news for more than 12 million unemployed Americans, and for a president fighting to keep his job. President Barack Obama told supporters in Ohio that since July the private sector has added more than 170,000 jobs each month."And today our businesses have created nearly 5 1/2 million new jobs. And this morning we learned that companies hire d more workers in October than at any time in the last eight months," said Obama.But the improving outl ook is just on e aspect of the government report. Despite upward revisions to job numbers in August and September, the nation's unemployment rate inched higher to 7.9 percent as more people started looking for work.Republican challenger Mitt Romney said the report was further proof of an economy at a virtual standstill. He accused the president of falling short on his promises."He said he was going to lower the unemployment rate, down to 5.2 percent right now. Today we learned that it's actually 7.9 percent. And that's 9 million jobs short of what he promised," said Romney.Since World War II, no U.S. president has ever won re-election with unemployment above 7.4 percent. The White House says the new report, though, is further evidence that the economy i s healing from the worst downturn in decad es. Still, the latest job numbers are unlikely to sway v oters.ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said most Americans already have made up their minds."The perceptions of the economy are already baked in [already set]. At this point in the game, the last six months of what's happened - in the last six months in the economy - are baked into perceptions," said Dowd.Despite t he better-than-expected job numbers, lingering signs of economic weakness remain. Average hourly pay declined in October, and paychecks have not kept pace with inflation.After an initial bounce on Wall Street, stock futures fell more than one percent, as investors worried about a deepening recession in Europe a nd a looming budget crisis in the U.S.。

After eight days of fighting, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has begun. The deal was announced in Cairo by the Egyptian foreign minister flanked by the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Speaking through an interpreter, the Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal said Hamas had won a victory in Gaza and Israel had failed in all its goals.经过8天的战斗，以色列和哈马斯终于停火。

This is not a traditional war, this is not a battle between two sides. It is a treacherous cowardly aggression against our people in Gaza that an initiated they did, a response and reaction for that, and eight days later, the God has forced the [homes] of [desire less] to [saw/sew] pity of our people in Gaza and they has submitted it to the conditions of the resistance and affections.这并不是传统战争，并非双边战争。

Jeff Swicord reports on the impact of closing Wal l Street for two days.Major U.S. stock and bond markets were c losed again on Tuesday, a day after Hurricane Sandy swept through New York Cit y.The area around Wall Street was part of a mandatory evacuation zone, and with the storm s urge, water rose above seawalls - flooding streets in lower Manhattan.This is the first time since 1888 that bad weather forced t he New York Stock Exchange to clos e for two consecutive days.The timing of the storm could be difficult for Wall Street.
