However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resour
28、ces.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in post-industrial society has led those countries t
29、o neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the digital divide between the rich countries and the poor countries. This

33、hat now we live in a borderless world. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many
34、governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for makin
35、g the right career choices at the individual level.

40、out competition, Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship, like all relationships between two people, involves competition. It isnt competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize. Perhaps the ecol
41、ogical definition - the simultaneous (同时) demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources, such as nutrinents, living space, or light - better explains it.As in nature, high school life is governed by a set of laws, similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution, o
42、verpopulation, and competition. There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them, ranking and categorizing (分类) take place. In high school, friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough. In fact, in some circumstance, competition is
43、 too much of a burden for a friendship to bear, causing it to fall apart. College admission is the final high school objective. Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades, and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements, but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying
44、 to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless, by necessity, competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life. It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork. A healthy, friendly competition can have only benefits, but when it becomes too fierce, je

72、rom an ancient Chinese idom, goes like this: once upon a time, there lived an old man who was nearly 90 years old. His home faced two high mountains, making it inconvenient for him and his family to get around. Troubled by the great inconvenience, the old man discussed with his family and decided to
73、 remove the mountains which blocked the way. They kept moving them day after day.Of course, things are totally different today. With society developing, we can build a road or tunnel rather than remove the mountains. But what is reflected in the story counts. It tells us that whatever difficulty we meet, we should never give up. If we dont have the courage and determination to overcome every difficulty, nothing will be accomplished.
