1957年10月苏联成功发射第一颗人造卫星，揭开了人类历史由地球迈向太空的第一页。此后短短半个世纪里，人类的外空探索活动突飞猛进，取得了辉煌的成就。人类不仅成功登陆月球，而且还将研究的触手伸向火星等更为遥远的星球。截止到2006年底，环绕地球飞行的各类人造物体，包括人造卫星、航天飞机、国际空间站、空间实验室等接近6000个。

The second admirable quality of our gentry and professional class is the refusal to take bribes. Perhaps "refusal" is too strong a word, for he would be a daring man who even attempted to bribe this type of gentleman. "It would be like violating a nun!" as a "crook" once said to me, when for a moment he contemplated buying a private advantage from an English official. It is seldom thought of, and it is hardly ever done. Our Civil Servants in India, for instance, have repeated opportunities of making a lot of money by taking bribes, but I remember only one case of even a suspicion of corruption. This reputation for incorruptibility is the greatest of our advantages in administering the Empire. Its rarity among nearly all the other peoples I have known raises our officials almost to the level of divine superiority, and without it we could not hold the Empire together, nor would it be worth the pains. A businessman who has worked long under the system of concessions in Russia tells me that it is now impossible to bribe the Commissar or other high officials there. That is an immense advance, for under Tsarism one had only to signify the chance of a good bribe and one got what one wanted. But nowadays on the suspicion of bribery both parties are shot off-hand. It is a drastic way of teaching what we have somehow learnt so smoothly that we are scarcely conscious of the lesson or of our need of it. Yet there was need. Less than two centuries ago, bribery ran riot among our aristocracy and politicians, so that a Prime Minister could boast that every man had his price. The change is remarkable, and in spite of all that can be justly said against our Public Schools, I think it may be traced to an unconscious sense of honour somehow instilled among the boys.

消费信贷 尽管“消费信贷”概念在美国等发达国家家喻户晓，但对中国的消费者来说还是件新鲜事。住房贷款是去年才实行的。尽管如此，1998年上半年，中国四大商业银行向未来的房主和房地产开发商发放了相当于60亿美元的贷款。 仅五个月内，一家大银行便发放了3900万美元购车贷款。银行还提供个人贷款用于购买大件家用电器。有些家庭为儿女能够到国外名牌大学就读申请了教育贷款。

大多数专家认为，越来越多的国家和恐怖组织会在技术上具备获得并使用生化武器的能力。但敌对国家或恐怖组织使用这些武器的情况并不是不可避免的。即使在血淋淋的常规战争中打得难分难解，那些动过念头的国家也不敢轻易使用这些武器，他们担心敌人会以牙还牙地报复或在其他地方使战斗升级激化。而对恐怖组织来说，有技术能力的往往缺乏使用的兴趣，对生化武器有兴趣的却又缺乏必要的技术能力。 然而，评估未来的危险不能简单地从过去推知。敌对国家及恐怖组织使用生化武器的可能性在不断增加，而且毫无保护的人群哪怕遭受一次这样的袭击，其后果也显然是毁灭性的。

国与国之间的交往，特别是经贸互动，既存在着合作，又存在着竞争。我们主张竞争要开放包容，推动各国在竞争中发挥各自的比较优势，实现共同发展。我们主张竞争要平等公平，反对把经贸问题政治化，反对双重标准，也反对歧视性待遇。我们主张竞争要互利共赢，在实现自身利益的同时，要照顾对方的利益，要懂得换位思考，不能以邻为壑、损人利己，更不能人为地设立对手，树立对立面。我们主张竞争要平衡有度，对于那些由于历史原因和现实因素，在竞争当中处于相对不利地位的发展中国家，应该施以援手，尽力去帮助、去扶持，来提高发展中国家的竞争力和可持续发展能力。(选白杨洁篪《携手谱写共同发展新篇章》)
