问答题Americans' entrepreneurial self-esteem is now embodied by Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon. These are indeed fabulously innovative companies with world-class business models. Yet one wonders if they are increasingly the exception, not the rule, and if the passing of Mr. Jobs is simply the most prominent example of a broader decline in American entrepreneurship. According to JPMorgan, employment at start-up companies regularly grew 1.2m per quarter in the late 1990s. That has fallen to 700,000 since the current recovery began.
Entrepreneurship and innovation, of course, are not the same thing. Yet even if American innovation is fundamentally sound, there remains the more unsettling problem of how narrowly its fruits are shared. If you want to know why the Senate is on the verge of passing a bill punishing China for its trade practices, look no further than this fact: Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon collectively employ just 113,000 people, a third of GM's payroll in 1980. Naturally, as Adam Smith pointed out long ago, the sole purpose of production is consumption, so one should not scoff at the benefits these companies create for Americans in their other role as consumers rather than workers. And in truth, technological advancement has probably done far more than trade to hollow out the middle class and widen inequality. Slapping China with punitive tariffs is more likely to trigger a trade war than restore millions of middle-class jobs.

问答题近日热播的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》令23岁的陈佳宇胃口大开。中华美食中新鲜的食材、精美的菜式、复杂精细的烹制过程以及饮食传统的多样性都令他为之着迷。
然而,一系列食品安全事件却令中华美食名声受损。有关专家表示,长期以来食品安全监管机制存在的缺陷正在摧毁公众对食品的信心。“如今外出就餐时,人们被无数个问号困扰着。肉类安全吗?食品里含添加剂吗?他们用的是地沟油吗?”作为武汉市一名食品质量检验员,陈佳宇说:“当我在工作中看到一些食品的来源时,感到十分震惊。”
农业部的统计数据显示,中国每天消耗200多吨的食品,这些食品来自于40多万家食品生产商,以及323万家相关企业。为了解决复杂的食品安全问题,2010年我国设立了国务院食品安全委员会,由国务院副总理李克强出任主席。然而,现实情况是,在目前的食品安全监管体系下,涉及六大部委的十几个部门均参与其中,直接负责监管从田间到餐桌的每一个环节。

问答题明代绘画
明代(1368—1644)社会政治经济稳定,文化艺术更加发达,出现了一些以地区为中心的名家与流派,各成体系,各个画科都得到全面发展。
明代中期(1506—1620),随着工商业的发展,作为纺织业中心的苏州逐渐成为江南富庶的大都市,文化繁荣,文人荟萃,此地区画家逐渐成为画坛的主力。许多游山玩水的文人士大夫以画自娱,继承和发展了崇尚笔墨意趣的文人画传统,其中较为著名的画家有沈周、文征明、唐寅、仇英等。
明代绘画以传统的山水、花鸟画为盛,人物画较少,一般只描绘帝后的肖像和行乐生活。但到了明代后期(约1628—1644),绘画领域出现了新的转机。徐渭进一步完善了水墨写意花鸟画的变革,其画风直抒胸臆,能产生动人心弦的艺术感染力。

问答题As the UN's global development network, UNDP recognizes that climate change calls for a new development paradigm, one that mainstreams climate change into development planning at all levels, links development policies with the financing of solutions and helps countries move towards less carbon-intensive, yet sustainable economies. In 2008, UNDP endorsed a new climate change strategy, which supports the capacity of developing countries to make informed policy and investment decisions to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce poverty and accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The strategy also sets out how UNDP works with the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the World Bank.
UNDP promotes both climate change mitigation and adaption efforts since both are essential to meet the climate change challenge. On mitigation, UNDP's efforts include promoting greater energy efficiency in all sectors and uses, increased utilization of a wide range of renewable energies, increased energy access for the poor, policy reform and capacity development. On the adaptation side, UNDP supports countries as they work to integrate climate risks into national development policy and plans, develop financing options to meet national adaption costs and share adaption knowledge and experiences. UNDP's value added in preventing and mitigating the effects of climate change lies in its strong presence on the ground in 166 countries in terms of both operational capacity and expertise, including both experts on climate change policy and professionals in project development, a combination that allows UNDP to effectively implement projects at the country level. For example, once the final agreement on the new Kyoto Protocol is made, UNDP will help member countries to apply for and manage funds and technology as they work to fulfill their part in a new global deal on carbon emissions. In fact, UNDP has launched a groundbreaking capacity development initiative that is working with 13 African, Asian and Latin American and Caribbean developing countries to choose three key sectors—for example, energy, agriculture and tourism—in preparation for a national inter-ministerial workshop on national climate actions and the Bali Action Plan. Once these sectors are identified, UNDP will support countries in assessing the magnitude and intensity of national efforts needed to implement mitigation and adaptation actions.
As the effects of climate change are increasingly felt in tandem with the effects of the economic crisis, opportunities are arising for real development change. UNDP is developing new partnerships, planning tools, public policies and financial instruments that help transform and create markets that work for people and the environment. By helping to protect forests around the world, UNDP both protects community livelihoods and helps to drive down carbon emissions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that the cutting down of forests is now contributing close to 20 percent of the overall greenhouse gases that are entering the atmosphere, making the goal of reducing deforestation an urgent and immediate one.

问答题World food prices are pushing higher—the United Nations overall food index shows a 28.3% annual increase, with cereals up 44.1%—sparking concerns that a new food crisis may be emerging, just three years after the last one. Does this mean the world is running out of food?
The quick answer is that the world does seem to be running low on cheap food. This supply shortage stems from the failure of governments and donors over nearly three decades to fund the basic agricultural research, investments in rural infrastructure, and training for smallholder farmers necessary to push out the productivity frontier.
Until recently, world food crises have been relatively rare events—occurring about three times a century. The food crisis of 2007~2008, although scary at the time, was relatively mild by comparison. Prices for wheat, rice and maize—the staple foods that provide well over half the world population"s energy intake directly and a good deal more indirectly via livestock products—rose 96.7% between 2006 and 2008, not approaching the spikes in the mid-1970s when corrected for inflation. Yet here we are just a few years later, talking about food prices again.
