Lesson 1
1. Why was China regarded as “an important pole” for the economic growth of Asia and the world by the authoritative analysts? (Read Paragraph 2.)
Her economy had continued to boom in the recent years and grew at the rate of nearly 10 percent annually. It was already by some key measures the world?s second largest economy.
2. Is China a so-called “threat” or an economic driver to other countries with her becoming “the factory to the world”? Why? (Read Paragraph 3-4.)
While China?s exports grow fast all the way, very often her imports grow still faster (than the exports) as demand in China is booming. It?s a driver to the world economy, especially the East Asia. 3. How important is China to the global economy? (Read Paragraph 5-6.)
China?s strong demand has fueled the expansion in many fields of the world economy, such as steel, copper, chemicals, mobile phones, personal computers, etc. As early as in 2003, in PPP terms, China had accounted for about 10 percent of world GDP, which put it behind the United States in the No. 2 spot. 4. What are the characteristics of the Chinese market? (Read Paragraph 7.) The market is very competitive, but the demand is huge.
5. What are the ripple effects of foreign (direct) investment in China on the world economy? (Read Paragraph 8.) The ripple effects are increasingly broad. Investment in China helps its neighbors in previously unrecognized way, because its supply chain includes a growing network of contract producers across Asia. Every dollar spent in China is re-spent many times not only within the country, but also throughout the region, magnifying the effect of a “more liberal global trading environment.”
6. What is the prospect of the Chinese market? (Read Paragraph 10.)
China still has many industries, particularly in services like insurance and finance, which are only now beginning to open to world trade. And the RMB is to appreciate gradually and gives a substantial boost to import-buying power.
Lesson 2
1. What is Haier well known for and has placed it among the world leaders in appliance sales? (Read Paragraph 2 & 1.)
Haier is well known for its innovative goods and such products have placed it among the world leaders in appliance sales.
2. In what way are the big Chinese electronics, appliance and high-tech firms now seeking new outlets for their production? (Read Paragraph 5.)
They are seeking new outlets for their production through exports and by building Chinese factories abroad.
3. What are the problems with the Chinese firms in their further development, according to the author? (Read Paragraph 9.)
They lack managerial and operational expertise of Western and Japanese multinationals, and have a shortage of managerial talent and little notion of marketing and brand-building. The companies are also handicapped by the country?s long tradition of central planning, inefficient use of capital and antiquated distribution system.
4. How does China help its firms to introduce advanced technology from foreign sources in absorbing（吸收）FDI (foreign direct investment)? (Read Paragraph 10.)
The authorities insist that foreign firms share technology with their Chinese partners.
5. Who has got upper hand (won an advantage) in competition for China?s household goods market? (Read Paragraph 12.)
3
The local Chinese companies.
6. Have the Chinese firms made progress in technology in the recent years? Which company is cited（举出）as an instance in the article? (Read Paragraph 14.)
Yes, the Chinese firms are gaining ground in technology. Huawei is given for an example.
7. For what reason did TCL decide to enter the Vietnam?s TV market and make FDI there? (Read Paragraph 15 & 16.)
For they saw that Vietnam had 80 million people and the TV market there was still underdeveloped as the foreign multinationals gouged consumers and held back TV sales.
8. Why is it said that “Chinese companies still have a long way to go” in the international trade? (Read Paragraph 18.)
While many Chinese products could pass for leading international brands, others are clearly not up to current standards in industrial design or quality.
Lesson 3
1. What is the general economic situation of the world? (Read Paragraph 1-3.)
The global economy is on a growth streak that is shaping up to be the broadest and strongest expansion in more than three decades.
2. What countries are playing a dominant role in the global economy currently? And what is the trend driven by? (Read Paragraph 4-6.)
The developing countries are playing a dominant role. The trend is driven by free trade.
3. What is the simplest yardstick of economic success for a country? How faster might the economy of the developing nations grow than that of the developed in 2006? (Read Paragraph 17.)
It?s a country?s growth in real gross domestic product, or how fast its total output of goods and services is rising after inflation.
The growth rate of the developing world might be more than double that of the developed world in 2006 according to the IMF.
4. With globalization of the world economy, what has happened to employment, import-spending and the living standard of some people in the developed countries? (Read Paragraph 20-23.)
With the developed world?s growth lagging well behind that of emerging economies in the globalization, wages in the U.S. have been slow to rise in recent years, unemployment rates remain stubbornly high in Western Europe and the living standard of some people are improved little in industrialized nations. And with the rapid development of the emerging economies in the globalization, the demand and the prices for commodities are increasingly high and countries pay more for their oil and other commodity imports.
5. And how much has the developed world benefited from the progress of the globalization? (Read Paragraph 24-33.)
The emerging economies offer a vast market to the industrialized countries. U.S. corporations are selling more abroad than ever before. Global demand for Japanese exports has helped pull the nation out of a 15-year funk. Global growth also has kept Germany at the top of the list of world exporters. And low-cost goods from developing nations have helped keep inflation pressures muted despite the jump in oil prices everywhere in the world. 6. Why is there a mounting backlash against the economic globalization? (Read Paragraph 34-39.) Because “prosperity isn?t evenly distributed.”
7. What is the greatest risk to the boom, according to some analysts? (Read Paragraph 42.)
“The greater risk to the boom is that it will sow the seeds of its own demise by fostering rising inflation and interest
