题目内容

北京,是中华民族的远祖——“北京人”——的故乡;同时也是世界闻名的文化古城。三千多年前,这里已是周朝封国——燕国——的都城。公元十世纪后,辽、金、元、明、清五个封建王朝以此作为陪都或国都。1949年中华人民共和国成立,定北京为首都。 在漫长的历史进程中,各民族不同的文化在这块宝地上相互渗透交融,孕育成一种特有的北京韵味。那金碧辉煌的宫阙殿堂,那雄伟壮丽的城墙门楼,那纵横交错的大街小巷,那淳朴憨厚的民风民俗,以及那些充满地方色调的店铺摊贩……北京,无一时,无一处,无一事不令人流连怀念,津津乐道。

If Asian policy makers have a grand vision, it is that someday people from Japan and China to Malaysia and Myanmar will pay for groceries using the same currency. The idea of a single East Asian currency will be debated this week at the Asian Development Bank’s annual meeting in the South Korean resort island of Jeju, where a European Central Bank board member, Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, will share with Asian finance ministers "lessons" from a 50-year journey that has led to 12 European nations sharing the euro. Should the countries of East Asia aim for their own "Asian dollar"? The rationale for a single currency is simple. For exporters in one Asian country selling to importers in another, being bald in Asian dollars would mean their profits were protected no matter what happened to the U. S. currency. Consumers would benefit from easier price comparisons, and travelers would save money by not having to change their currency from country to country. East Asia is home to a third of the world’s population and is its fastest-growing region. The World Bank estimates that East Asian economies will collectively expand 6.3 percent this year. The region’s central banks hold $ 2 trillion of foreign currency reserves, which, if pooled, would make an Asian dollar a tough target for currency speculators to pull down. A single East Asian currency would require an accord similar to the European Union’s Stability and Growth pact, which would require governments to live within their means — a tall order for countries such as the Philippines that are plagued by chronic budget deficits. Monetary cooperation could eventually lead to a single currency. Still, if East Asia wants to follow Europe, it must speed up efforts for freer movement of goods and people across national boundaries. Then will come the painful part: trying to get Asian states to accept a unifying agency along the lines of the European Central Bank. The Asian dollar may not be here soon. But to say it will never arrive is to underestimate the power of progress.

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.
