问答题A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on U. S. soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface—kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law. At issue is "birthright citizenship" —provided for since the Constitution's 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868. Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal immigration, say the amendment has been misapplied over the years, that it was never intended to grant citizenship automatically to babies of illegal immigrants. Thus they contend that federal legislation, rather than a difficult-to-achieve constitutional amendment, would be sufficient to end birthright citizenship. "Most Americans feel it doesn't make any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth and have a new U.S. citizen," said the spokesman of the federation of American immigration reform. "But the advocates for illegal immigrants will make a fuss; they'll claim you're punishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn't want to deal with that. /

问答题Like the replacement of its old buildings with skyscrapers and the widening of two-lane roads into superhighways, China is instituting massive financial reform to foster growth and prosperity. The government has won global respect for its willingness to tackle banking, securities and state enterprise reform and to begin opening China's markets. At the same time, the government has wisely realized that export growth and foreign direct investment alone cannot drive the kind of growth necessary to sustain development in China. The fact is that domestic consumption will become increasingly more important in fueling China's continuing economic growth. As we have seen in many markets around the world, the development of consumer finance has been critical in stimulating domestic consumption. The use of credit plays an essential role in economic development. Credit provides consumers with more options, and allows them to choose from a wider variety of products and services to meet their desired lifestyles. And the use of credit cards in particular gets cash out from under the bed and begins to build banking habits. But the role of credit does not stop here. It is merely a starting point in the economic development cycle. An increase in consumer spending power leads to greater demand for goods and services. This in turn spurs growth in small-to-medium-sized businesses. The end result is a more mature, diversified economy. based around strong domestic demand and supply, and less vulnerable to external pressures. Think of it as an insurance policy against another regional economic downturn. While parallel development of the consumer finance and credit card industries is needed for long-term economic growth, other initiatives are also necessary to fully develop a sound. strong credit environment. China is changing, and so are its consumers. It wasn't so long ago that consumers had limited choices in the purchase of goods and services. But today, consumers are faced with a tremendous amount of choice, which is increasing every day. The development of new payment systems and options must proceed in tandem with growth in consumer choice. To ensure appropriate consumer response and to help make for a smooth transition, educational and legislative programs are paramount. For example, consumer education on the wise use of credit and financial planning will promote responsible card usage. And consumer rights legislation will help instill consumer confidence in the industry. Providing a strong foundation for the sound issuance of credit cards can also be achieved through risk management initiative such as the establishment of a centralized credit bureau. This will allow banks to ascertain if consumers have a past credit rating and are a "good" risk. All these compelling areas—consumer education, legislation, and risk management—combined with continued infrastructure development, will enable China's payment systems to expand and evolve to the next level.

问答题以往几个世纪人口的增长并不能证明人口会无限地直线向上增长直到毁灭的地步。相反地，人口统计史料证明人口的增长完全不是一成不变的。若技术革新的成果开始减少，从250到350年前就在西方开通出现的并且目前还在继续的人口迅速增长可能也会放慢。当然，当前的知识革命也许会持续下去而无法预见其未来。无论如何，与那种认为人口以几何级数持续增长的观点相反，从长远的观点来说，人口可望受到生产力的调节。接受了这一观点，人口的增长就右以被看成是经济进步和人类胜利的标志，而不是社会衰败的标志。

问答题The most important fact in Washington"s failure on Thursday to be re-elected for the first time since 1947 to the U.N. Human Rights Commission is that it was America"s friends, not its enemies, that engineered the defeat. After all, China and Cuba and other targets of U.S.-led criticism in the committee were always going to vote and lobby against Washington; the shock came in the fact that the European and other Western nations that traditionally ensured U.S. reelection turned their backs on Washington. Many traditional U.S. supporters clearly withdrew their votes to signal displeasure over U.S. unilateralism. They have been increasingly chagrined by Washington"s tendency to ignore the international consensus on issues ranging from the use of land mines to the Kyoto climate change treaty. They are also critical of what they see as Washington"s tendency to publicise the issue of human rights, using annual resolutions at the committee to denounce China or Cuba when that conforms to U.S. foreign policy objectives but for the same reason voting alone in defence of Israel when that country is in the dock over its conduct.
