【答案解析】事实证明，在韩国以及不少所谓的“快速增长经济”中，十多年来“泡沫经济”无一市制地扩大；这种“泡沫经济”主要靠私营企业的大量借债支撑着，并且靠“房地产”投机而膨胀起来。这些国家的“泡沫经济”已被证实为国民经济中的“癌症”，它加剧了1997-1998年的“金融危机”。这是一个必须认真吸取的教训。一个国家生产总值(GDP)的增长，应当是符合国情的、实实在在的、持续的、健康的增长，千万不能依靠“泡沫经济”。 [解析]
Facts have shown that in South Korea and quite a few so-called "fast-growing economies," "bubble economy" grew unchecked for a decade and more, mostly supported by private borrowing in huge quantities and inflated by "real estate" speculation. "Bubble economy" in these countries has proved to be a cancer in their national economies, aggravating the "financial crisis" in 1997-1998. This is a lesson which must be learnt in real earnest. GDP growth should be real, sustained and healthy in conformity with the country-specific conditions. Never should one rely on "bubble economy".

Hinduism extremists who staged protests during his three-day stay denounced the pope for saying the changing religions should have been recognized as human rights. The 79-year-old Roman Catholic leader looks visibly fired as he boarded his plane for the flight to Georgia.
