1.The information revolution
Never in the history of this planet has humanity seen more change than witnessed over the
last twenty years. After centuries-even millenniums-of human civilization, only in this period has
man found the means to connect instantly and efficiently the consciousness of virtually every
inhabitant on the earth. Only in the past decade have come the means to consolidate, organize, and
access all of the available knowledge that man has gained over the entire history of humanity. And
as if this mind-numbing pace of change has not been fast enough, the forces that drive it promise
to become even stronger and faster in the coming twenty years. Our race is in the midst of the
information revolution-a revolution that could change virtually every facet of human life.
From our vantage point, it is still not possible to fully grasp the extent and significance of the
information revolution. Things are moving too fast-propelled by advances in science and the
forces of market economics-to predict exactly how evolving technologies will alter civilization on
earth. The only thing that can be said for certain is that major change is inevitable for all but the
most remote fringes of human society. We are heading at blinding speed into a complete new
world built on a foundation of the information and communication technology.
1．信息革命
在这个行星的历史上，人类从来没有经历过去二十年中急剧的变革。在几百年或几千年
人类文明进程中，只是在目前这个阶段人们才找到了与在地球上几乎每一个人进行迅时和有
效联系的方式。只有在过去十年中，人们才发现巩固、组合和利用整个人类历史上所有知识
的方式。以往意识麻木、步履蹒跚的速度似乎不够快，未来二十年的推动力有希望更为强劲。
我们已经迈入信息革命的漩涡——那将是一场改变人类生活方方面面的革命。
以进步的观点来看，我们仍然不可能完全理解信息革命的范围和意义。由于科学的发展
和市场经济力量的推动，形势变化很快，不能精确预见技术发展如何改变地球文明的面貌。
唯一可以肯定的是重大变革将必然发生，它将对人类社会产生深远影响。我们正以未知的速
度步入一个建立在信息通讯技术基础上的全新世界。
2.Recent Trends in international trade
Over the last few decades, the foreign trade sector has grown dramatically in importance
worldwide .In 1960,as a percentage of nominal GDP, goods exports and imports were 3.9 percent
and 2.9 percent, respectively. By 1997, goods exports and imports shares had risen to 8.5 percent
and 11.0 percent, respectively. Domestic demand has increasingly been met by imports, while
exports have become a more significant factor underlying growth in manufacturing output.
What does the United States export and import? In 1997, by principle end-use categories,
export are led by capital goods excluding autos, with second place held by industrial supplies and
materials. Most imports for industrial supplies and materials, followed by automotive vehicles,
parts, and engines.
Exports and imports flows between various trading partners have changes significantly since
the end of World War II. Though still important, Western Europe no longer dominates as the
United States' primary trading region. For exports, Canada is by far the most important buyer of
US goods. In 1996, Canada also was the number one supplier of goods to the United States. In
recent years, however, Japan, China, and Mexico have become increasingly important. While the
