问答题At the invitation of President George W. Bush, I will be attending and actively participating in the Group of Eight meeting this week in Sea Island, Georgia. The G-8 nations have rightly identified African development, AIDS, global peace and security, private sector-led growth and the alleviation of poverty through greater trade as the essential issues concerning the world and Africa in particular. I agree with this assessment. But this year I come to the G-8 .meeting to convey a new sense of urgency in our collective work. On Thursday, I plan to support five tangible proposals for the G-8 that I deem globally urgent, highly practical and wholly feasible, with results that will be quickly measurable. We must identify and reduce the unintentional waste of foreign aid that happens through poor procedures, duplication and flawed management. We must initiate a "counter-brain drain." For decades, developing countries have been educating and training highly skilled individuals and managers, who systematically leave their countries — the countries that so desperately need them — and become absorbed in the economies of developed countries. We should begin to issue "business passports" based on the economic activities of individuals, not on citizenship or nationality. We need to endorse and organize a world conference for Islamic-Christian dialogue within the next six months. We can remove corruption, while increasing efficiency at the same time. The allocation of resources to our nations today takes a painfully long time. But the handicap of delays can be avoided. The president of the World Bank, James Wofensohn, once said that an African country that expresses the need to realize a project — a road, for example — has to wait at least five years. Five years is too long. In Africa, we die waiting. I am not attending the G- 8 meeting in search of funding or handouts, but to propose and support what we need most — dynamic ideas that can be implemented without delay. I start with these five.

问答题作为短期项目，中国已经开始中等距离地将黄河水引到大城市里去。但是中国政府还有更大的计划，作为一个长期战略性项目，它将发起一个庞大工程，南水北调工程。这个项目由三条路线组成，东线、中线和西线，将分别从长江的上游、中游和下游调水以满足华北和西北地区对水的需求。这项工程投资5000亿元(600亿美元)，调水量将达380-480亿立方米，相当于长江年水流量的5%。 这项工程2002年在东线715英里，中线774英里的距离上已经展开，预计到2010年完工，花费大约为1800亿元(220亿美元)，届时这两条线路将调水160亿立方米甚至更多。花费最大的西线至今还停留在制图版上。以2000年价格计算，世界银行估计该工程的投资、运行和维护费用平均大约为每立方米两元。

问答题中国等发展中国家向美国提了大量价廉物美的商品，是美国传统制造业腾出财 力物力用于发展高新技术。这加快了美国工业的升级换代，推进了美国产业结构的优化，使美国及时摆脱传统工业的束缚，保持了它在世界经济中的领先地位。因此，中国的出口不会威胁美国的经济。 在中国扩大出口的同时，进口也在快速增长。实际上，美国产品早已进人中国百姓的日常生活。现在，不少中国人乘坐的是波音飞机，开的是别克轿车，看的是美国电影，穿的是苹果牌牛仔裤，喝的是可口可乐，用的是摩托罗拉手机和IBM电脑，而电脑里运行的是微软软件。 中国进出口能力的不断提高为包括美国经济在内的世界经济做出了积极贡献。

问答题60年来特别是改革开放30年来，中国取得了举世瞩目的发展成就，经济实力和综合国力显著增强，各项社会事业全面进步，人民生活从温饱不足发展到总体小康，中国社会迸发出前所未有的活力和创造力。同时，我们清醒地认识到，中国仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家，中国在发展进程中遇到的矛盾和问题无论规模还是复杂性都世所罕见。要全面建成惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会，进而基本实现现代化、实现全体人民共同富裕，还有很长的路要走。我们将继续从本国国情出发，坚持中国特色社会主义道路，坚持改革开放，推动科学发展，促进社会和谐，全面推进经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设以及生态文明建设，全力做到发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享。
