当前我国经济发展势头良好,经济增长的内在机制不断增强,基本做到了速度、质量和效益的统一。但是我们也要清醒地看到,世界上还没有一个国家的经济的发展长盛不衰,永远保持高速度,中国也不可能例外。改革开放取得的成就是有目共睹的,但是,随着经济形势的变化,又出现了一些新的矛盾和问题。比如,国企改革问题、大量失业和行业待业问题、两极分化问题、腐败问题、金融风险问题、生态环境破坏问题等。这些问题都需要我们高度重视,尽快找到有效的解决方法。

问答题Wealthy Chinese tourists are expected to spend a billion pounds on luxury goods during the sales. The booming "Peking Pound" has accounted for almost a third of post-Christmas purchases of high end goods such as Burberry, Mulberry, Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Many West End stores have appointed assistants who speak Mandarin to help cash in on the massive new market.
Retail analysts said Chinese shoppers have taken over from Russians and Arabs as the biggest spenders on luxury items in Britain. "Like anyone, they enjoy getting a bargain so the post-Christmas sales are inevitably an especially busy period." China"s rapidly-growing economy has generated a vast new market for luxury goods. But the high taxes levied on imported Western goods in China makes purchasing these products in Britain 20 to 30 per cent cheaper for them. They are also attracted by the cachet of buying a luxury item from its country of origin.
He said Chinese buyers now account for about 30 per cent of the luxury goods market in Britain, followed by Russians, Arabs and Japanese, with British shoppers making up only around 15 per cent of the purchases. Luxury fashion house Burberry says Chinese shoppers make up nearly a third of the customers in its London stores, helping to boost sales by more than a fifth in 2010.

Smoothing the Path from Foreign Lips to American Ears
It is a complaint familiar to millions of alumni of research universities: the master"s or doctoral candidate from overseas, employed as a teaching assistant, whose accent is too thick for undergraduate students to penetrate.
To help solve this problem, increasingly sophisticated software programs have been developed to analyze and
critique speech
. One program, NativeAccent, which became available three years ago, has been adopted by more than 100 universities. Briju Thankachan, an Indian graduate student here in
instructional technology
, has spent hundreds of hours using NativeAccent. The software can
isolate hundreds of pronunciation issues
and even show animations of how to
position parts of the mouth
for each sound.
"Every morning I would hear him repeating
things
over and over into the computer, and you could hear him getting better," said Mr. Thankachan"s wife, Betsy J. Briju, a visiting assistant professor in plant biology.
The comprehension problem is far from solved. Even at an institution like Ohio University, with an unusually
robust remedial program
, undergraduate students say they have run into hard-to-understand teaching assistants.
"You get better at understanding after a while, and they"re willing to talk it over again, but it can be hard," said Karen Martinez, a sophomore from Chicago.
The university"s efforts to address the accent problem date to the 1980s. Every foreign student"s command of spoken English is assessed on arrival, and each year about 300 go through the improvement program, part of the linguistics department. In classes, the students learn to break language into individual sounds, forcing them to be aware of how each part of the mouth is positioned to make a particular
bit
, while instructors contort their faces and touch their tongues to
drive home the point
. Students take sentences apart to learn rhythm, emphasis, pauses and rising and falling pitch—elements that can convey as much information as words.
"Many people come here without having learned
intonation
at all," said Lara Wallace, a lecturer in linguistics. "Everything comes out in a flat monotone, which makes an accent even harder to understand."
Students are assigned to practice in computer labs, using the speech analysis software, and—possibly the most unpopular exercise—recording audio or video of themselves speaking. They have to transcribe those recordings
verbatim
, with every pause,
false start
, repetition or "um" noted.

问答题I can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I"ve been able to do this, since I was four.
I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what everybody does—try to put it to one side. I don"t think it"s harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory doesn"t make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on Broadway on the same day—they both just pop into my mind in the same way.
