arena as a power. However, a series of issues since the beginning of this year, particularly Washington's
stance on the U.S.-South Korean joint military exercises and the South China Sea issue have made the world
think: Is the United States ready to recognize China as a power on the world stage?
It is easier said than done for the United States to adapt itself to China's development. Lip service is far
from enough to boost the development of Sino-U.S. relations. If Washington cannot find a way to recognize
and accept China's peaceful rise onto the world stage, bilateral (双边的) ties will be like a roller coaster full
of ups and downs. However, no one would like to see the negative effects rocky relations would bring to
China, the United States and possibly to the world as a whole.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged China to play a greater role in solving the world's
economic, environmental and political problems. She said global issues could not be solved by the United
States or China alone, but without participation of the two countries, no problems would likely be solved.
Washington has realized that the United States' global interest can be maintained only through changing the
way it deals with China.
The Obama administration released positive signals in its relations with China, which have been interpreted
as the United States showing its intention to change the traditional strategy of engagement and containment
(遏制政策 ). As a matter of fact, the general direction of Sino-U. S. relations provides a foundation on
which the United States can base its foreign policies and is more complicated than an adjustment in real
conditions. Issues such as arms sales to Taiwan, Google censorship, RMB exchange rates as well as finger-
pointing about economic responsibility show Washington still seems confused and impatient about relations
with China.
The relationship between China and the United States is the most important and complicated bilateral
relationship in the world this century. The development of Sino-U.S. relations will affect world peace and
stability, especially in the Asia-Pacific region. Ian Bremmer, an American political scientist specializing in
U.S. foreign policy, said, "America and China will have more than ever to gain from closer political and
commercial ties, and must take steps to avoid a Cold War, or worse."
In that circumstance; the United States needs both wisdom and determination to recognize and accept
China, a country that is totally different from its own, as a power on the world stage.
B. there will surely be a Cold War between the USA and China
C. there are many differences between the USA and China
D. it is wise for the U. S. government to sell arms to Taiwan
B. the U.S. government has realized the importance of China
C. Washington are afraid of China both in economy and politics
D. the United States is ready to accept China as a power
B. opinion
C. ignorance
D. criticism
B. Is U.S. ready to recognize China as a world power?
C. Is U.S. still the most powerful country in the world?
D. Is Sino-U.S. relationship the most important and complicated in the world?

Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
