    Whether China’s rise lifts all the world’s boats or sinks some of them will depend, first, on whether its rapid economic development continues. There’s no certainty. Most of the country is backward and poor. Citizens have huge expectations about rising standards of living.

    It would be unwise, however, to bet against China. With the exception of India, no other country has such enormous scale, including such a huge pool of highly educated people. And in an age of globalization, no country has been better able than China to swallow the innovations of others and leap ahead of them.

    I spent three or four hours on two short chapters of personal History by Vincent Sheean（维森特. 谢安） --- savoring（savo(u)r: 咀嚼） each paragraph, lingering over a sentence, a phrase, or even a single word, building a detailed mental picture of the scene. No longer was I in Sydney, Australia, on a sticky heat-wave night. Relishing every word, I joined foreign correspondent Sheean on a mission（专程访问） to China and another to Russia. I lost myself in the author’s world. And when finally I put it down, my mind was totally refreshed.

    The first calendar to fix these days on definite dates of the year was the solar calendar（阳历）, which had 365 days in a year and --- every four years --- a “leap-year（闰年）” with one extra day.

    I discovered its worth years ago … Previously, if I had not been really interested in a book, I would race from page to page, eager to know what came next. Now, I decided, I had to become a miser（吝啬鬼，守财奴） with words and stretch（拉伸，拖延） every sentence like a poor man spending his last dollar.

    I had started with the practical object of making my book last. But by the end of the second week I began to realize how much I was getting from super-slow-reading itself. Sometimes just a particular phrase caught my attention, sometimes a sentence. I would read it slowly, analyze it, read it again --- perhaps changing down into an even lower gear（速度，变速） --- and then sit for 20 minutes thinking about it before moving on. I was like a pianist studying a piece of music, phrase by phrase, rehearsing（演练，彩排） it, trying to discover and recreate exactly what the composer （作曲家）was trying to convey（表达）.

    To an observer on earth, the sun seems to move farther and farther away from the equator（赤道） to the north until on June 21st it seems to reach its furthest point north. Then it seems to “pause” for one day before it turns around and goes back. Then it goes further and further south until on December 22nd it appears to “pause” again for one day before swerving（改变方向） back north again. These two days are called the Summer Solstice（夏至） and the Winter Solstice（冬至） respectively.

    It is this tilting that accounts for（说明，解释清楚） our four seasons and the lengthening and shortening of days and nights. For this reason also, the Equator（赤道） (an imaginary line （一条想象出来的线）drawn around the earth at equal distance from the two poles) is not always directly under the sun’s rays. For six months the earth is tilted towards the sun, and the Northern Hemisphere（北半球） gets more than its share（份量） of sunlight every day. Days are longer than nights, and what is more, the sun’s rays come down more perpendicularly（垂直地，直射地） instead of slanting down（斜射）.

    Virtually all decisions about the control of nitrate pollution of ground water are made in the face of uncertainties that frustrate（阻止，挫败） efforts to guarantee the desired results. The decisions also have to be made in an adversarial（意见相左，敌对不可调和的） environment in which the goals of society and those of the agricultural sector（农业部门）are often different.

    In general, contracts may be either oral or written. Certain classes of contracts, however, in order to be enforceable, must be written and signed. These include contracts involving the sale and transfer of real estate（不动产）; contracts to guarantee or to answer for（对…承担责任） the miscarriage（不履行合同）, debt, or default（拖欠） of another person, etc.
