Many in Asia believe that their relative success in managing the crisis is due to a more cautious approach to financial liberalisation, despite urging from the IMF and the West to do otherwise. Some see the recent crisis as a ‘Western’, rather than a ‘global’ one, caused by excessive financial liberalisation in Europe and the US. They see the Dodd-Frank Act as marking a move by the West towards the more conservative regulatory approach of Asia.
Lesson 5
Asian economies have long lagged behind the West in the pace of financial innovation and integration. As a result, Asia was often criticised for being backward in financial products and inefficient in cross-border financial intermediation. Ironically, such ‘backwardness’ and ‘inefficiency’ turned out to be a big strength in the recent crisis as it limited the contagion effect in the region.

global rebalancing or power shifts along five dimensions are quietly appearing (Line 2, Para. 1) — 全球力量调整或者说力量转移正在五个方面悄然出现。 (along five dimensions – in five parts)
Lesson 5
Asia would like to see a regulatory framework for the global financial system that is sufficiently flexible to accommodate a wide range of financial systems. The elevaational forum for managing the global economy and the international financial system marks a good start in this regard. With six members in the grouping, Asia is well represented in the G20. The grouping could provide the platform for Asia to push for major reforms of the IMF and other major international organisations, to make sure that their policies are aligned with Asia’s interests.
Lesson 5
1. What is the first power shift? What is the major factor in the shift?
The first power shift is a rebalancing of moral authority. The major factor in the shift is the receding moral superiority of the west.
By Ronnie Chan
The recent financial crisis has highlighted the need for fundamental reforms in the global financial system to make it more robust and resilient to shocks. Although the crisis resulted in a global recession and a sharp decline in global trade, its biggest impact was felt in Europe and the US, both of which experienced severe economic downturns and near collapse in their financial systems. Asian economies, on the other hand, were affected largely through the trade channel. Their financial systems have remained relatively unscathed. They have also been able to recover from the crisis much more rapidly than the West.

The author thinks that the millennial generation is a generation that primps, dyes, pulls and shapes, younger and with more vigor.2. Experian’s research finds that 43 percent of 6-to-9-year-olds are already using lipstick and lip gloss, 38 percent use hairstyling products and 12 percent use other cosmetics.3. This is a group that’s grown up on pop culture that screams, again and again, that everything, everything, is a candidate for upgrading. Ads for the latest fashions, makeup tips and grooming products are circulated with a speed and fury unique to this millennium —on millions of ads, message boards and Facebook pages.4. Statistics from the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery show cosmetic-surgery procedures performed on those 18 and younger have nearly doubled over the past decade.5. The author, by ―level the playing field‖, means that standards of beauty are ubiquitous and people of all kinds have the same cosmetic options available to them.OutlineI.

Conserve is a Delhi non-profit organization recycling plastic bags into accessories. Anita Ahuja started it in order to clean up the streets of the Indian capital and help people who have problems.2. When Anita Ahuja’s homemade products were popular at a fair at the US embassy, she realized she had finally found a successful recipe and decided to venture into accessories.3. She, by using contracts in the Delhi government, got Conserve IDs for her ragpickers. She also got certificates of endorsement from Delhi’s chief minister and prominently displayed her own clout at the different units. She put together a group of garbage collectors, who, acting as middlemen, buy the plastic bags from 150 pickers in different pockets of the city. In this way, she ensured a regular supply of plastic bags.4. The bags are sliced open, then washed in detergent, dipped in basil-scented water and hung out in the sun to dry, and after that were layered and compressed by heat in an ovenlike contraption. Staff and professional tailors then cut them out andsew the sheets into Conserve’s belts, bags and wallets.5. It was difficult to train the trash pickers on the nuances of the different plastic bags because they spoke different dialects.6. Anita Ahuja has turned down the suggestion of handing over the fabric because making the fabric alone is not so profitable.OutlineI. (1-3) Brief accounts of Conserve1. Conse rve’s business2.

They raise money for their philanthropic organization through tutoring. They use the money todistribute blankets, clothing and soap to Washington’s homeless.5. When Brittany and Robbie Berguist heard about a soldier overseas who couldn’t pay the phonebill for his calls home, they raised money by selling back old cellphones to be recycled. Since then, the siblings have sent more than 600,000 phone cards to troops and raised more than $ 5 million. For their philanthropic work, Brittany had been awarded so many community-service scholarships that she has enough to cover the entire cost of Stonehill College, and even the cost of graduate school.6. Zach’s walk raised about $ 50,000.

Today, Amazon’s business in Britain is very large. It is receiving 1 million orders a day, having transformed itself into a giant shopping mall. It is now challenging all the major high street chains for the title of Britain’s biggest retailer.3. It is expanding very fast. Earlier this yea r it opened one of Europe’s largest warehouses in Swansea, 60% bigger than its existing monster-sized distribution center in Milton Keynes. But already the firm is seeking a site for another huge warehouse. It is tooling up for its next move, with the launch early next year ofa low-cost, music download service that could rival Apple iTunes.4 The traditional way of online shopping in Britain is searching out the cheapest price for eachindividual purchase at price comparison websites and then ordering from a raft of different retailers. The author says that this way may now be redundant because Amazon offers the cheapest prices for most products.5. The main reason for Amazon’s offer of cheaper price s is the benefit of scale: no shops and no staff in them, and no carrying inventory in 500 different places at the same time. Huge volumes of business enable Amazon to get better commercial terms than anyone else.6. By ―the social aspect to shopping‖ the author means thata lot of customers want to be able to pop around to a local shop, talk about a product, speak to the shopkeeper and have a chit-chat.7. The out-of-town shopping centers and online retailers will cause the bankruptcy of local independent stores and the disappearance of money from the locality.8. According to Guardian Money, if customers buy all their Christmas presents on Amazon, they should be aware that if the item breaks down after six months, it appears that all the company will offer them back is 10% — 20% of the initial price.OutlineI.

Louis Gill has taken to laying out cots and mattresses between the shelter’s 174 registered beds to cope with the rush of homeless families brought to his doors by the financial crisis.2. According to Louis Gill, in the preceding year homeless families increased by 34 percent and homeless children increased by 24 percent.3. The author thinks that the recession has caused ravages including a surge in foreclosures and unemploymentapproaching 10 percent and driven thousands of families onto the streets.4. According to administration officials, the typical homeless person has changed to become less focused on the chronologically homeless or single individual homeless to somebody who is part ofa family whether it be a mother or a father, or a child in a homeless family.5. The life of homeless young women is particularly fraught with danger because they are at much greater risk of being victimized when they have no stable home. It can be more difficult to obtain needed services.6. They suggest that rural and suburban areas were particularly ill-equipped to cope with the new wave of homelessness7. The department has allocated $1.5 billion over the next three years to combat homelessness nationwide.OutlineI. (1-2) Specific example of Bakersfield Homeless Center1.

The three lower courts criticize the law because the law does not have an exception for protecting the health of pregnant women.3. The Supreme Court upheld the federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban4. They hold that the ban is harmful to women’s health and interferes with medical decision making and opens the floodgates for states to chip away at Roe.5. Jay Sekulow believes that state legislatures will now beemboldened to pass other restrictions, including ones requiring informed consent.6. According to David Masci, abortion could become a more visible issue in the next presidential election, and at the very least, the ruling will force candidates, who have already weighed in along partisan lines, to speak more clearly about where they stand7. If the majority comes to see the decision as the first step towards dismantling Roe, it would mobilize Americans in ways abortion opponents would regret.OutlineI.

David Shipler’s description of the bleak world of the American working poor is a kind of domino model of a downward economic spiral.2. His book is based on his interviews of scores of people. The book lacks the first-person focus and angry wit of Nickel and Dimed. But poverty is in the details, and he lays those in abundance.3. Convenience stores in poor neighborhoods routinely advance cash to their customers at the at interest rates of about 20% for a two-week loan. If the debt can’t be paid, it’s gladly rolled over——for another 20%. One study in Illinois found that the average customer had 10 renewals of that kind, which meant that in the space of a few months, he or she owed twice as much in interest that had been borrowed.4. The essence of Shipler’s message is that working poverty is a seamless web of challenges, some personal, some erected by a society content to let the federal minimum wage languish at a $5.15 an hour.5. Unscrupulous bosses make workers falsify their time sheets so that they can work longer hours for the same pay. Labor contractors deduct exorbitant housing costs from the worker’s pay, but warehouse them in filthy barracks.6. Shipler’s solutions are a higher minimum wage, better job training and medical coverage for the almost 44 million who have none.7. The author says so because the working poor don’t vote in anything like the numbers of their more affluent neighbors, therefore carry no real weight and the economic situation is gloomy, the economic boom of the 90s is gone, the job creation is feeble, and the time limits on welfare are kicking in.OutlineI.

BVI.1.Tom Mauser is the father of Columbine victim Daniel Mauser. He maintains a memorial pageto his son because he wants to arouse Americans’ attention to the gun violence problem and get their action.2.America’s gun violence is very serious. Each year America loses 11,000 to gun homicide, andthree times that number are injured.3. The reasons for Americans’inaction about gun violence problem are the gun lobby’s greatinfluence on the public and American s’ fear about an armed takeover. They are convinced that any form of gun control is a major step toward the total elimination of all guns.4. No, punishment alone isn’t enough because in most cases once they lose loved ones it is toolate, and because punishment doesn’t stop shooters intent on committing suicide following their rampage.5. They put the issue on the statewide ballot and won by amargin of 70 percent to 30 percent.6. The author suggests that Americans should put more measures on the ballot or learn to putmore pressure on elected officials to offset the relentless badgering of the gun lobby.I.

It was the most powerful ever in the region, measured a preliminary magnitude of 7.0. It rockedthe island of Haiti, collapsing a hospital, the presidential palace and other buildings, triggering massive panic and claiming thousands of lives.2. The earthquake was so destructive because it measured a magnitude of 7.0, was centered about10 miles west of Port-au-Prince and was shallow, and it hit one of the city’s most denselypopulated areas.3. According to Fajardo, relief efforts were hampered by poor road conditions and lack of security.4. The installations of the UN Peacekeeping Force sustained serious damage. The headquarterscollapsed and troops were trying to find survivors amid the wreckage of the five-story building.5. The US government promised to provide both civilian and military disaster relief andhumanitarian assistance.6.

The aim of President Lech Kacz ynski’s trip was t o attend the commemoration of the KatynForest Massacre.3. The crash killed 97 people, of whom 88 were passengers.4. The crash was a stunning blow to Poland and threw the whole nation into grief. Poles mournedthe death of their leaders and united in their grief. Thousands massed outside the PresidentialPalace, laying flowers and lighting candles.5. Relationship between Poland and Russia has been strained ever since the Katyn ForestMassacre. The crash happened at the moment that the two countries were beginning to come to terms with the killing of Poland’s officers. So, the relationship took a chilling twist. For poles, it was a wound which is difficult to heal.6. The Law and Justice Party lost numerous important leaders in addition to the president.Although Mr. Kaczynski had been trailing far behind his opponent in the polls, the outpouring of sympathy from the mourning public might benefit his party in the moved-up presidential election.7. According to the article, Russia’s leaders, acutely aware of the potential fallout of the crash,immediately reached out to Poland with condolences. Mr. Putin left Moscow to meet Mr. Tusk at the site of the crash, and President Medvedev recorded an address to the Polish people,saying, ―All Russians share your sorrow and mouring.‖OutlineI.
