In haft a century, however, a majority in all countries covered by the poll—China, India, South Korea and the United States—believed "another nation" will become as powerful or surpass the United States in power. China has become a global manufacturing power and is already displacing the United States as the primary trading partner for many nations.

[单项选择]The United States must reduce its budget deficit and Asian nations must encourage more consumption in order to prevent a recurrence of the global imbalances that contributed to the financial crisis, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday. Bernanke, speaking at a conference on Asia and the financial crisis, attributed the global crisis in part to a longstanding pattern in which Asians saved too much and spent too little, while Americans spent too much and saved too little. As the global economy starts to recover, the Fed chairman said that "global imbalances may reassert themselves".
To keep that from happening, the United States must "increase its national savings rate," Bernanke said at the conference, sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

The payoff, they say, could be significant: 1.3 million new jobs and an $ 859 billion shot in the arm for the economy over the next decade.
"They’re their own little stimulus program, " said David French, senior vice president for government relations at the National Retail Federation, a trade group.

[单项选择]The United States has a major problem on its hands. True, Britain is facing a similar problem, but for the time being it is in America that it is graver. The only way to solve it is through education. Negroes (黑人) should know about the contributions that black individuals and groups have made towards building America. This is of vital importance for their self-respect; and it is perhaps even more important for white people to know. For if you believe that a man has no history worth mentioning, it is easy to assume that he has no value as a man.
Many people believe that, since the Negro’s achievements do not appear in the history books, he did not have any.

C. is still a major task for curriculum education
D. will solve all the conflicts between black and white people
