Winners and Losers

    Why are the biggest winners in the past decade of trade globalization mostly in South and East Asia，whereas the biggest losers are mostly in the．former Soviet bloc(集团)and
sub—Saharan Africa? History is a partial guide：East Asia has a long trading tradition，lately reinvigorated(给以新的活力)by the Chinese adoption of market economics．The Soviet Union，on the other hand，was sheltered from free—market forces for more than 70 years．In Africa，some countries are disadvantaged because of inadequate infrastructure(基础结构)；many countries have little to trade but commodities，the prices of which have fallen in recent years．
    In some regions，certain countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies，often
under pressure from International Monetary Fund．First among these is Russia．which in the
early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work，such as an independent bank system，a system of business law, and all adequate method for collecting taxes．Encouraged by the IMF the World Bank and the U．S．Department of the Treasury, President Boris Yeltsin’s regime privatized the state．owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs(寡头政治集团成员)，who，knowing how unstable conditions were at home．sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home．
    In contrast，China，the biggest winner from globalization，did not follow the IMF formula．
Of the former states of the Soviet bloc，only a few，notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring IMF advice and adopting expansionary plans．including
spending more than they collected in taxes．Botswana and Uganda are also Success stories：
despite their disadvantages，their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies，liberalizing trade and implementing reforms that ran counter to IMF prescriptions．
16 Japan has a long trading tradition．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

17 Russia was wrongly guided by the IMF．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

18 All African countries followed the IMF formula．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

19 The Soviet Union was a capitalist country．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

20 Australia is one of the biggest winners from globalization．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned
21 China did not take IMF advice．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

22 Many high officials in Russia have much benefited from privatization．
A Right    B Wrong    C Not mentioned

location and climate，Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world’s most respected
scholars．The university staff has included many Nobel prize winners such as Dr．Felix Bloch，Dr．Robert Hofstadter, and Dr．William Shockley in physics．Dr．Author Kornberg and Dr．Joshua
Lederberg in medicine．and Dr．Paul J．Flory and Dr．Linus Pauling in chemistry．The Russian
novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence．Stanford’S undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business，law，and medicine are especially well-regarded．
4  What is student life like on “The Farm”? Culturally．the campus is a magnet for both
students and citizens of nearby communities．P1ays，concerts，and operas are performed in the university’s several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held．Several film series are presented during the school year．Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus．In the evenings，many students gather to socialize in the Student Union’s coffee house；here the beverages(饮料)and the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor．For the sports—minded，the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities．Team spots，swimming，and track and field activity are a11 very much part of the Stanford picture．So are bicycling and jogging．
5  In addition to financial support from alumni(校友)，Stanford receives grants from the
government and from private philanthropic(慈善的)foundations。In recent years，government
grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education，and atomic energy．At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program，financed in part by山e Ford Foundation’s 25 million grant．Recently added to the campus are a new physics building，new school of business，new graduate school of law，new student union，and undergraduate library．
