Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-80, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So there are the headlines warning of gloom and doom this time The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraq suspended oil experts. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time as winter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in the short item. Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oil now accounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the 1970s. In Europe, tuxes account for up to four-fifths of the retail price, so even quite big changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pump prices than in the past. Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that, oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and se could he more seriously squeezed. One more reason net to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general commodity-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline. The Economist"s commodity price index is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973 commodity prices jumped by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%. The estimates in Economic Outlook show that in rich countries______.
A good marriage means growing as a couple but also growing as individuals. This isn"t easy, marriage has always been difficult. Why then are we seeing so many divorces at this time Yes, our modern social fabric is thin, and yes the permissiveness of society has created unrealistic expectations and thrown the family into disorder. But divorce is so common be-cause people today are unwilling to exercise the self-discipline that marriage requires. They expect easy joy, like the entertainment on TV, the thrill of a good party. Marriage takes some kind of sacrifice, net dreadful self-sacrifice of the soul, but some level of compromise. Some of one"s fantasies, some of one"s legitimate desires have to be given up for the value of the marriage itself. "While all marital partners feel shackled at times, it is they who really choose to make the marital ties into confining chains or supporting bends", says Dr. Whitaker. Marriage requires sexual, financial and emotional discipline. A man and a woman cannot follow every impulse, cannot allow themselves to stop growing or changing. A divorce is not an evil act. Sometimes it provides salvation(拯救) for people who have grown hopelessly apart or were frozen in patterns of pain or mutual unhappiness. Divorce can be like the first cut of the surgeon"s knife, a step toward new health and a good life. On the other hand, if the partners can stay past the breaking up of the romantic myths into the development of real love and intimacy, they have achieved a work as amazing as the greatest cathedrals(教堂) of the world. Marriages that do not fail but improve, that persist despite imperfections, are not only rare these days but offer a wondrous shelter in which the face of our mutual humanity can safely show itself. In the author"s opinion, a divorce is not an evil act ______.
俄罗斯、阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯坦、土库曼斯坦和伊朗徒劳无益地尝试就确定里海地位问题达成协议已经是第六年了。久拖不决的原因只有一个——每个参加国都谋求在下个世纪的里海石油开发中得到的份额更大一些。 专家估计，里海石油的预期储量在150亿吨到400亿吨之间。这就意味着，在21世纪，里海地区可能成为“黑金”的主要产地之一，这个地区将与波斯湾地区进行激烈竞争。 里海到底是海还是湖，这个问题提上了日程。阿塞拜疆认为，里海是个湖，应该分给几个国家，包括划分湖底、水面和深层湖水。土库曼斯坦也持这样的立场。哈萨克斯坦坚持按海洋法的原则划分里海，海洋法规定只划分海底，但共同使用水面。伊朗则主张实行共同管辖的原则，也就是说，邻近海域各自管辖，里海中间部分由五个国家共同使用。俄罗斯赞成伊朗的立场。如果按这个原则解决里海问题，俄罗斯就有可能限制西方公司开发里海石油资源，同时为俄罗斯的公司创造有利的条件。 五国各持己见自然谈不上有短期内解决里海地位问题的可能性。六年来，阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯坦和伊朗的立场几乎没变。只是土库曼斯坦时而坚持分成几部分的原则，时而又趋向于莫斯科和德黑兰的观点。 在五国就里海地位问题进行双边和多边谈判的同时，阿塞拜疆、哈萨克斯坦和土库曼斯坦不等达成一致意见，就自行决定本国拥有石油并着手开发。于是，立刻就出现了这样一种趋势：把尽可能多的油田归在自己名下，并称本国对外国投资者承担了责任，从而让“邻国”面对既成事实。阿塞拜疆在这方面比其他国家技高一筹，在土库曼斯坦看来，阿塞拜疆极力想得到目前归它管的奇拉格、阿泽里和基亚帕兹油田。 莫斯科面对一些国家纷纷自行划分里海的事实，不得不在自己过去的立场上作出部分让步，同意把里海划分成几部分的原则。今年7月初，叶利钦和哈萨克斯坦总统在莫斯科签署了划分里海北部海底的协定。 土库曼斯坦和伊朗认为，这是不彻底的办法，会给就里海问题达成一致意见设置新的障碍。两国在联合声明中坚持，不仅要划分海底，而且要划分水面和生物资源。阿塞拜疆同意这个意见。这样一来，就出现了使里海五国分为对立的两个阵营的又一个方案。 如果里海是个湖，在几个国家划分时，应该不包括下面哪项
