Today, long after the earthquake shook/hit my home town, I can still recall, in crystal detail, what I saw as I ran out of my home with my parents. The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.
Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been built to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger. UNIT8 Vocabulary I.

Last Wednesday, my classmate Caroline and I visited Zhouzhuang, a well-known town looped all around by streams. When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decide to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city. Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.
Test yourself u1 to u4 Globallization by the book
Globalization is actually quite easy to define. It is simply an extension of economic freedoms beyond national boundaries.Many years agoI got a chance to enjoy the freedom that globalization brings whenon my 20th birthday.I boarded a plane that brought me from Bombay 孟买to New York. And when I landed in New York it was still my 20th birthday and I celebrated it by eating Chinese food that came in funny little white containers I‘d never seen before。 Being able to cross national boundaries is just one of five fundamental freedoms that globalization provides. These are the other four:
● first, the freedom to sell what you produce not just in your country but in others; and to buy products from all around the globe 地球either for your direct consumption 消耗or to help you make what you produce—this, of course, is international trade;
● second, the freedom to seek capital for your business ventures from foreign sources and to invest your savings abroad—this is called capital mobility or financial globalization; ● third, the spread of scientific knowledge and technology;
● fourth, the diffusion传播of ideas and culture—and cuisines烹饪.
We should not take these freedoms for granted. We‘ve enjoyed them before and lost them. The world that existed before the onset开始 of World WarⅠwas one such time. Writing about it, the great British economist John Maynard Keynes said that ―the inhabitant居民 of London could order by telephone, sipping his morning tea in bed, the various products of the whole Earth, in such quantity as he might see fit, and reasonably expect their early delivery upon his doorstep门阶…‖
Alas a sniper‘s狙击手bullet on June 28, 1914, triggered引发 a chain of events that reversed逆转 globalization. Another brilliant economist Fredrich von Hayek noted sadly: ―We didn‘t realize how fragile脆弱 our civilization was.‖
Over the past 60 years, we‘ve regained恢复 many of the freedoms lost during these 30 years from 1914 to 1944. Trade has expanded steadily不断地. Since 1990, capital mobility has greatly increased, though by some measures措施 it is not back to pre-World WarⅠlevels. Immigration 移民has increased but again, for the U.S. at least, it is just getting back to prewar levels. The spread of scientific knowledge has eliminated降低 many diseases and raised agricultural efficiency农业效率 worldwide. And the diffusion传播of culture and ideas continues briskly轻松地. In the political sphere领域, for instance, there has been a steady diffusion of democratic norms民主标准. Electoral democracies选举民主国家 now represent 120 of the 192 or so existing countries, constituting nearly 60% of the world‘s population.
Of course the course of globalization has not run smooth over these 60 years. In the mid-1990s, financial crises经济危机 disrupted断裂 international capital markets, but we‘ve learned valuable lessons from that experience on how to live with volatile动荡不定的capital flows. And then, on September 11, 2001, we saw an attack on globalization potentially潜在的 as devastating 毁灭性的as the sniper‘s bullet in 1914. Mercifully宽恕地, international economic integration 整合has thus far proven to be less fragile脆弱的—in fact, the global economy has just recorded the fastest five-year pace of growth in recent decades. The material benefits from this 60-year expansion of economic freedoms are evident. They include longer lives, higher incomes and reduced poverty, lower inequality of incomes, reduction in social ills such as child labor,童工 and—eventually—a cleaner environment.
The increase in life expectancy期望寿命, thanks to the international diffusion of scientific and medical knowledge, has been amazing. Consider that from about the time of the Roman Empire through to the beginning of the 19th century, average human life expectancy was less than 30 years. And even as late as 1950, average life expectancy in developing nations, such as the one I grew up in, was just 40 years. But today average life expectancy in the developing world has risen to 65 years. That is still lower than in the developed world, where life expectancy is about 75 years, but what‘s noteworthy is that the gap has shrunk. The gap used to be 30 years but is only 10 years today.
As incomes have risen, poverty rates have fallen almost everywhere. The number of people living in wretched悲惨的poverty has fallen by nearly 500 million—there has been greater reduction in poverty over the last 50 years than in the previous 500 years.
Higher incomes provide the means to combat social ills. With higher income, more families can afford to enroll加入 their children in school rather than put them to work. We saw this in Vietnam越南, for example, where school enrollment rose once the country‘s farmers were able to sell their rice at global prices. Rising up the income ladder in developing nations often involves abandoning life in agriculture舍弃农业生活 and moving to cities where there is more opportunity for higher-wage employment. Many of these jobs are in ―sweatshops‖. Many of them have low pay and poor working conditions, but they also provide the poor with opportunities they‘ve never known previously.
