The thinkers of that time viewed Japan as the ultimate economic animal that would control one American industry after another. The facts prove the idea was largely without any economic logic.2 Now, it is 2003, and it is the Japanese that are losing their collective sense with the new economic power in the neighbourhood, China. Even Japanese Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa, at a Group of Seven meeting in Paris on February 15, made some fairly open criticism of China for letting the yuan, which is pegged to the US dollar, depreciate to what the Japanese view as artificially low levels. However, Chinese government considers that the yuan's decline has been a positive sign for an exporter like China, which has built up a massive trade surplus with the US. But, Japan seems to think this is contributing to the cloud of global deflation.3 The Japanese argument goes something like this: China's massive workforce and low wages give it a huge advantage in cost, and it is flooding Japan and other rich markets with really cheap stuff. This is forcing domestic rivals to compete in prices. Besides, China is attracting foreign investment from all over the planet. Investment shifting to coastal China is emptying out the manufacturing base of industrial Japan.4 In reality, some economists point out that the major share of the Chinese export penetration into Japan is at the low end in areas such as clothing, which have a small weighting on Japan's prices. The real price wars are on more high-end products like mobile phones, computers, and printers, arenas where the Chinese are not a huge force yet. Japan would be better off blaming America's Dell and South Korea's Samsung than the Chinese. As to the investment shifting to coastal cities in China, experts consider the economic links —trade and capital flow —which tie the Japanese and Chinese economies together can often be a winner for both sides. Analysts also point out that 60 percent of the products China ships to Japan are fromlabour-intensive areas, such as textiles and basic materials. The other side of the coin is that Japan is high-tech and produces a lot of heavy products like electric machinery. It is hard to argue that Japan is getting a bad deal. In fact, without China, the already weak Japanese economy would be in even worse shape.13. Paragraph 1 ..........14. Paragraph 2 ..........15. Paragraph 3 ..........16. Paragraph 4 ..........A.

The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. （7‟）Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business world's favorite academic title; the MBA(Master of Business Administration). The MBA, a 20th century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed (贪婪) on campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature. But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993.This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the widespread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day. “If you are going in to the corporate world, it is still a disadvantage not to have one,” said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. “But in the last five years or so, when someone says, Should I attempt to get an MBA,' the answer a lot more is: It de pends.”The success of Bill Gates and other non MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders. The article called MBA hires “extremely disappointing” and said “MBAs want to move up too fast, they don't understand politics and people, and they aren't able to function as part of a team until their third year. But by then, they're out looking for other jobs.” The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura (光环) of future riches and power for beyond its actual importance and usefulness.Enrollment in business schools exploded in the 1970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do with out one. The growth was fueled by a backlash(反冲)against the anti-businessvalues of the 1960s and by the women's movement.Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees often know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. “They don't get a lot of grounding in the people side of th e business,” said James Shaffer, vice president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.17.
