Chinee overeign debt bond that tie：
Japan want to buy Chinee government bond
IN THE autumn of 2010, when he wa Japan‘ finance miniter, Yohihiko Noda decried it a ―trange‖ that China had bought up a much a ￥2.3 trillion (then $25.5 billion) in Japanee government bond while it own debt wa off-limit to outider. Now prime miniter, Mr Noda i redreing the balance. At a ummit in Beijing on December 25th the two countrie announced an agreement to let Japan buy Chinee overeign debt. No um or timetable wa dicloed, though Japanee new media reported the amount will reach $10 billion once China approve Japan‘ application.
Both countrie ay the agreement ymbolie the growing importance of their economic tie, which have long been warmer than their diplomatic one. China i Japan‘ larget trading partner; Japan count a China‘ bigget after America. But the deal may alo be a ignal. Official in Tokyo fret that China‘ purchae of Japanee bond fuel the yen‘ appreciation. By negotiating for approval to own Chinee debt, Japan can regiter it dicomfort with China‘
action and gain ome influence of it own.
Japan will not imply be able to buy whatever it like, however. China eem happy for foreign central bank to hold limited amount of it bond a another tep in the internationaliation of the yuan. Malayia reportedly already enjoy the privilege, among other; Japan i et to be the firt G7 country to do o. But China will not do anything to compromie it control of the exchange rate. Fred Bergten at the Peteron Intitute for International Economic, a think-tank in Wahington, DC, once argued that America hould dipene with the nicetie and exert upward preure on the Chinee currency via the offhore market intead. He advied America to buy intrument uch a the yuan-denominated ―dim um‖ bond now on offer in Hong Kong. Quite what effect that would have on the exchange rate i unclear, but the meage would be unmitakable.
The Great Wall of Debt
That' the word out of China thi morning, according to rating agency Moody'.
Local government debt could be 3.5 trillion renminbi ($540 billion) larger than firt thought, a troubling number that could expoe Chinee bank to deeper loe that could eventually threaten their credit rating, Moody' ay.
It point to Bank of China and China Citic Bank a two bank that purued particularly aggreive lending trategie in 2009, when Chinee bank went on a lending tear.
―Bank‘ expoure to local government borrower i greater than we anticipated,‖ Yvonne Zhang, a Moody‘ analyt, aid in a tatement publihed by Reuter.
The bigget worry
Slower economic growth in the world‘ econd-larget economy could trigger a round of loan default, hobbling China' banking ytem and unnerving global market and, of coure, adding more problem to the fragile global economy. Moody' i urging Beijing to come up with a "clear mater plan" to fix the problem.
Thi in't the firt warning about China' banking ytem.
A reported by GlobalPot' David Cae back in January, Fitch Rating late lat year iued a troubling report on the ector.
Here' how Cae put it:
Expert are warning that China‘ red-hot economy i catching a contagion of it own. The country i increaingly awah in runaway loan, a development that could have eriou implication for China and the global economy.
The ituation ha become o precariou that Fitch Rating, a global credit
analyi firm, iued a report lat month revealing a litany of mey banking practice aociated with aggreive Chinee loan making. The report tated that thee practice — involving tranferring loan off of bank‘ book — contitute ―the mot diconcerting trend Fitch ha oberved in China‘ banking ector in recent year.‖
The problem i complicated by China' ocialit-market approach to tweaking it economy.
Intead of uing interet rate a the brake and ga pedal of economic growth, Beijing regulate it economy by upping or decreaing the amount of loan that bank can iue.
That' fine when it work. But it' alo a riky trategy, particularly when tranparency i difficult to come by, a i often the cae in China.
So, clearly, the ituation bear cloe watching a both Moody' and Fitch indicate.

第3篇：英文时事阅读
Smart people may be far happier with their own company than meeting friend. A new tudy ha found that for intelligent people, the more frequently they ocialie with friend, the le atified they are with life.
The finding come from two evolutionary pychologit who challenge the
modern view that the more ocial contact we have the happier we will likely be. Satohi Kanazawa of the London School of Economic and Norman Li of
Singapore Management Univerity propoe that the core ocial kill developed in our ancient pat till hold way over our happine today.
They propoe that the 'avannah theory' i at the root of modern happine. Thi theory dictate that the factor which made early human atified are till true with modern life.Uing data from a long-term tudy, which urveyed adult from 18 to 28, they applied the theory to explain the finding of elf-reported level of life atifaction.The pair focued on jut two of myriad factor, which they ay characterie baic difference between modern life and the way our ancetor lived - population denity and how frequently we interact with friend. A might be expected, they found people living in more denely populated area reported lower level of life atifaction.For anyone who brave the daily grind of the ruh hour commute in a city, thi i no urprie.Alo a we might expect, more frequent ocialiation with friend had a more poitive aociation with level of life atifaction.
But thee two factor interact trongly with intelligence.The author explained that'among the extremely intelligent' more frequent ocial interaction i actually linked with reduced atifaction.According to the Wahington Pot, elf-reported happine i higher in mall town than in citie.Kanazawa and Li' approach ugget the brain of our hunter-gatherer ancetor were perfectly adapted to life on the African avannah, where the population would have been pare, living in group of around 150.Social interaction would have been
crucial to urvival, in term of co-operation and finding a mate, but the pace wa equally important.The pair believe there may be a mimatch between the way we have evolved and the rapid live we lead today – where ociety ha left our mind and bodie truggling to keep up.The reearcher believe marter inpidual may be able to better adapt to the challenge of modern life, and may find it eaier to leave ancetral ocial root behind in order to forge ahead. For the mot intelligent among u, it may be that there i conflict between apiring to greater goal and being tied to our evolutionary pat.
比起和朋友见面，聪明的人自己独处时更快乐。
最新研究发现，聪明的人和朋友们社交越频繁，他们对生活的满足感越低。这项发现来自于两位进化心理学家，他们要挑战当代人的这个观点：社交生活越丰富，我们的幸福感越强。伦敦经济学院的禅洲金泽和新加坡管理大学的诺曼·李认为，发源于古代社会的核心社交能力依然主导着我们今天的幸福。他们认为，―草原理论‖是影响现代人幸福感的根源。该理论认为，那些令早期人类感到满足的因素，在现代生活中依然发挥着作用。基于对18到28岁成年人进行的一项长期调查得出的数据，他们将上述理论，用于解释受调查者关于生活中自我满意度的研究结果。影响这种满意度的因素有很多，他们两人主要关注两点——人口密度和我们与朋友互动的频次。这两点也是现代生活方式与古代生活方式之间最基本的不同之处。不出所料，他们发现，生活在人口稠密地区的人们，生活满意度水平较低。对于那些要每天面对上下班交通高峰的人来说，这不足为奇。同样如我们所料，跟朋友间的交往越频繁，生活满意度水平越高。但这两个因素与当事人的智力程度有极大关系。两位作者解释称，―在极聪明的人中‖，频繁的社交活动实际上降低了生活满意度。据《华盛顿邮报》报道，小城镇居民的生活自我满意度比大城市高。金泽和李的研究表明，我们的祖先以狩猎为生，他们的大脑完全适应了在非洲大草原的生活，那里人口稀少，多为150人左右的群居。虽然社会交往对生存来说至关重要，比如合作和寻找配偶，但空间距离也同样重要。两位研究者认为，我们的进化方式和我们今天的快节奏生活之间可能并不匹配——我们的头脑和身体不得不努力跟上如今的社会发展。研究人员认为，聪明的人可以更好地适应现代生活的挑战，更容易脱离祖先的根源性影响，去锐意进取。而对于我们中最聪明的那部分人来说，追寻更大目标与维持进化关联之间，可能存在冲突。

Children and Cyber-pace
Internet i very popular among people all over the world, ranging from men to women, from the old to the young.

In addition, ome children uffer from uch health problem a myopia or obeity due to the exceive amount of time pent in the virtual world.
To olve thi problem, parent and teacher hould work together to trengthen uperviion over the internet ue and provide correct guidance to children’ tudy and life.
On Cultural Difference or Similaritie
In thi increaingly globalized world, it i highly important for u to undertand the difference and imilaritie of different culture o a to make our intercultural communication more effective.
Let me take China and the United State a an example. It can’t be denied that the two countrie hare omething in common in that both are peace-loving nation with great repect for human right, freedom and liberty. However, with pere cultural, hitorical and political background, China and the USA are quite different in many apect uch a the eating habit, way of greeting, ocial value, religiou belief, and attitude toward money, time and relationhip and o on. For intance, the Chinee believe in collectivim baed on Confucianim while American are more inpidualim-drive and focu more on “I” rather than “we”.
To um up, we need to hold the correct attitude toward cultural difference, that i, to eek common ground while etting aide the difference.
Managing the Environment
It goe without aying that our environment i under threat by air pollution, water pollution, andtorm, mudlide, and radiation, etc.
Then what we hould do to protect our environmentIn the firt place, we hould raie people’ awarene of environmental protection, making them undertand the conequence of polluting the environment. The next tep i to take ome concrete meaure to manage the environment. To inpidual, we can lead a low-carbon life. For example, we hould turn off the light and tap water after uing it. What’ more, it i adviable to take public tranportation rather than driving our own car. In addition, we can eparate our dometic wate into recyclable one and non-recyclable one. Lat but not leat, the government hould alo trengthen the enforcement of law to punih thoe law-breaker everely.
Only by combining the inpidual effort with government action can we manager our environment better.
On Development in Wetern Societie
The pat few decade have witneed great change in wetern ocietie.
Let u firt focu on the poitive change taken place. For example, economy ha been propering and people’ living tandard i on contant rie. Democracy and freedom prevail over force and dictatorhip. What’ more, people enjoy longer pan expectancy becaue of the advanced medical cience.
However, jut a every coin ha two ide, there alo appear ome problem in the wetern countrie. For intance, the natural environment i detroyed by heavy pollution ince people have been puruing economic gain at the expene of the environment. Beide, the gap between the rich and the poor i widening due to the unfair ditribution of ocial wealth. Lat but not leat, global peace and tability i under threat becaue ome wetern countrie like launching regional war in the name of democracy and freedom.
While the problem hould not be ignored, olution are neceary to make the wetern countrie develop in the right direction.
On Equality and Family Life
Recently a hot topic that Li Yang, the founder of Crazy Englih, abued hi wife aroued heated dicuion among the public. Indeed, it i about equality and family life.
Though women enjoy much higher ocial tatu nowaday, they till uffer from dometic violence and complete gender equality i far from being achieved.

Some other regard themelve to be the center of the family and do not allow women to have any ay in the family affair. Still ome are even wore by beating the women or regarding them jut a imply child-bearing machine.
To achieve full gender equality, we hould make ome effort. For example, the government hould et up law to prevent dometic violence from taking place. Meanwhile, we need to make everyone know that men and women hould be treated equally not only in the family but alo in the profeional field. Lat but not leat, women themelve hould learn to protect their right and rie up againt unfair treatment.

Then we hould we do to cut down the number of homele peopleThere i no doubt that the government and hould take action to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Police favorable to the homele hould be made to help them get employed and have a decent place to live in. the public hould alo give thee homele a helping hand. Only in thi way can the problem of homelene be olved.

Peronal View on Reform in Chinee Higher Education

However, ome problem till exit in China’ higher education and reform are needed to make it better. For intance, change hould be made in term of the teaching method.
