Is the global economy headed for the rocks?
Economics editor
Close share panel
Well David Cameron, perhaps learning a lesson from his stockbroker father, got his timing right. On the morning that he warns (in the Guardian) that red lights are flashing on the dashboard of the global economy, Japan announces that it has unexpectedly crashed into recession. Japan is still the world's third biggest economy. And its economic contraction, which caught markets by surprise, coincides with the prolonged flatlining of the eurozone (which was ) and what looks like a long-term deceleration of growth in China. Apart from India and Mexico, most of the rest of the developing world and the so-called Brics - notably Brazil and Russia - are finding the going much tougher. There are two apparent beacons in the gloom -
the UK and US, where annual growth in national income is around 3%.
So what do the US and UK have in common?
Having pored over the national action plans of the G20 members, I could not see any spending, investment, job creation or trade initiatives of size that looked brand spanking new
They have central banks that have kept the cost of money cheaper than it has ever been for five years, their public-sector austerity has been less severe than billed, and their labour markets are more flexible than most in the developed world. In both countries, these are conditions that have encouraged consumers to spend - and are also spurring companies to invest (though only latterly in the UK). The worry, in the UK in particular, is that this reliance on domestic spending or demand will before too long see the economies' already high indebtedness rising again (as I implied, this seems less of a threat in the US, where the government's deficit is falling quite fast - in stark contrast to what is happening in the UK). It is also notable that the fruits of growth are being harvested in huge numbers of new jobs but not in rising living standards. Especially for those with low and intermediate skills, wages remain under intense pressure. The rewards are being reaped disproportionately by those at the apex of the income pyramid. As for Japan, its woes are to a large extent of its own making - a new sales tax, introduced by prime minister Abe, that crushed consumer spending and business confidence.What the generally anaemic condition of the global economy shows - yet again - is the perils of national governments pursuing their putative national economic interests in this era of globalisation, of inescapable interconnectedness. As just one example, it might well be perfectly rational for Germany to aim to balance its budget next year and generate surpluses for years to come if it was an economic island, but as the engine of growth for the eurozone many would argue this is prudence that acts as an unhelpful dampener on its neighbours' recovery. Now this weekend's meeting of the government heads of the G20 club of the world's most powerful economies tried to face up to the reality of the inter-connected world.
Its communique contains ambitious pledges to open up trade, to jointly crack down on tax avoidance by multinationals, to force disclosure of the corrupt owners of shell companies who steal wealth (often from emerging economies), to encourage job creation (for women in particular) and to coordinate investment in infrastructure. The hope of the G20 leaders is that these initiatives will raise their collective incomes by $2tn, which would be helpful in a global economy whose GDP is a bit over $70tn. Let us hope they are right. But having pored over the 20 national action plans of the G20 members, including Britain's, I could not see any spending, investment, job creation or trade initiatives of size that looked brand spanking new. Instead what we have is a collective pledge to do what these countries have already promised to do. It is a pledge of no backsliding - a sort of vow that never again will they thump their spouses. About time too, you might say. But you might also wonder, for example, where is the commitment to work as a team to reduce the massive and unsustainable indebtedness in much of the world - since there is recognition that this indebtedness is probably the big weight on global growth, but when countries try to tackle it alone they often slide into recession (hello again to Japan). So with those red lights flashing on the global economic dashboard, as David Cameron says, it is not self-evident that adequate evasive action has been taken.

First lady Michelle Obama urged students to visit China at the “100,000 Strong” China Study Abroad Forum at Howard University.President Barack Obama announced the “100,000 Strong” Initiative(十万强计划)during his 2009 visit to China. The program aims to increase the number of American students studying in China by making study abroad more affordable.During the event at Howard, Mrs. Obama spoke about the importance of studying abroad. “Studying in a country like China is about so much more than just improving your own prospects(前途) in the global market. The fact is that with every friendship you make and every bond of trust you establish you are shaping an image of America projected to the rest of the world and making America known better.” she said.Mrs. Obama encouraged students to set aside the opinion that studying abroad is for “rich kids only” or for those attending “certain schools”. The first lady also announced that the Chinese government is giving 10,000 “Bridge Scholarships” to cover costs for American students studying in China.Some students who had studied in China shared their experiences. David Marzban from Pepperdine University recalled a time when he formed a cross-cultural bond with a complete stranger at a restaurant near Fudan University in Shanghai. He noticed a young chef signaling him to come over. “He pressed the play button on his media player and started singing California Dreaming and wanted me to sing along with him,” Marzban said. “At that time I knew a great friendship had started during my first two weeks in China.”Nicole Baden from Howard University recalled how her time in China really helped her master the language. “You have to experience the culture while learning the language to really master it to understand why things are how they are compared to your own culture,” Baden said. 12-year-old Sarah Davis, who studied in China last summer, said she was very excited to hear Michelle Obama talk about the country. “I love Chinese. Out of all the languages I’ve learned, Chinese is the most difficult and interesting.” She said.【小题1】 According to the passage, the “100,000 Strong” Initiative ______.A.provides convenience for American students to study in ChinaB.was made by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2009C.got little support from the Chinese governmentD.isn’t well-accepted among American students【小题2】According to Mrs. Obama, ______.A.American students used to be unable to study abroadB.Studying in China can make American students’ future betterC.the Chinese government will offer all the US students scholarshipsD.American students’ studying in China helps improve the relationship between China and the US【小题3】Three examples are given mainly to indicate that ______.A.American students are very popular in ChinaB.Chinese is the most difficult to learn in the worldC.Many US young people have actually been studying in ChinaD.American students’ studying in China is important and worthwhile【小题4】 What is the best title for the passage?A.A great program for American students to study in ChinaB.Michelle Obama encourages students to study in ChinaC.More American students will go to China to studyD.China is attracting more and more American students

Hess is thedirector of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute,which is a nonprofit organization that conducts research on many public issues.He says that a long summer vacation doesn't make sense in today's world.&&&& Can Americanstudents afford to take a summer vacation? In a summer vacation, millions ofkids spend valuable time sending messages, watching TV, playing video games anddoing shopping in the mall. They will also be putting their academic futures atrisk.&&&& Summer vacationonce made sense in the past when you didn't need an education to get a goodjob. But now things have changed. For today's students, academic skills areimportant to students' future success, but such skills ate affected in thesummertime. Many nations don't give kids an American-style summer vacation.They offer no more than seven consecutive(连续的) weeks of vacation. Most American school districts offer up tothirteen weeks. To compete in the global marketplace, Americans must beprepared to go up against international competitors.&&&& Summer vacationalso causes challenges for today's families. In the 1960s, more than 60% offamilies had a stay-at-home Mom. Now two-thirds of American children live inhouseholds where every adult works. For these families, summer vacation can bemore burden than break. Someone must watch the kids.&&&& But the biggestproblem may be how summer vacation hurts academic achievement. Researchers havefound that disadvantaged students lose significant ground in the summertime.&&&& A longer schoolyear does not have to be an invitation to hard boring work. Rather, it shouldallow time-pressed teachers to conduct richer and more imaginative lessons.Schools would have more time to devote to athletics, languages, music and thearts. Summer vacation can be a grand thing. But in the 21st century, it mayalso be outdated.Title:&& 65 &&&&&
