governance, trans-national crime, green growth, climate change and food security, US officials have
said.
Organised by Mexican Foreign Minister, Ms Patricia Espinosa, in the Mexican resort town of Los
Cabos, the meeting is to be attended by among others, the US Secretary of State, Ms Hillary Clinton,
German Foreign Minister, Mr Guido Westerwelle, and European Union foreign policy chief, Ms
Catherine Ashton.
Several other G-20 countries including France, China, Brazil and India will be represented at a lower
level. Mexico is the current chair of the G-20 countries and the meeting will be hosted on June 18-19.
A senior state department official said that the meeting is informal so it will not result in any formal
statements.
"This meeting reflects, in many ways, the evolution of the G-20 since the first summit (峰会) of
Washington in the fall of 2008, which was designed to deal with the global financial crisis," the official
said.
"This is going to focus on broad non-financial global issues, some of which have been discussed by
G-20 leaders in the past, but some of which are new to the G-20 process or at least have not been
emphasized to any great degree, including some broad economic governance issues, some
environmental issues, development policy, and green growth," the official said.
During her meetings, Ms Clinton will be emphasizing some themes that are included in the broad
G-20 rights. Although, she will not be going to get into the details of the G-20 financial part of the
process, she will call for an open, free, transparent, and fair global economic system.
Ms Clinton will address things like anti-competitive government practices or interference, which
include the ways in which governments artificially distort (歪曲) markets or create uneven economic
playing fields, the official said.
Among other things, she will also highlight issues like climate change, freedom of navigation and
shipping and sailing security to promote a well-functioning global economy; besides governance issues
like fight against corruption.

unrest such as the riots (暴乱) in England this summer, new research has shown.
A survey of 973 adults carried out for the online security firm Unisys found 70% of adults supported
the shutdown of Twitter, Facebook and BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), while only 27% disagreed.
Three-quarters agreed that governments should have open access to data on social network users in
order to prevent relevant (相应的) crime. Support for action against social networks was strongest
among over-65s and weakest among 18 to 24-year-olds, who are the heaviest users of the online
services.
Several people were accused of attempting to start disturbances (骚动) using Facebook during the
outbreak of rioting across England in August. The court recently refused a request o lower the sentences
of two people sent to prison for four years for attempting to arrange riots on the social media site, despite
them not leading to any disturbances.
Analysis by the Guardian found little evidence to support claims the network had been used to set
off unrest. However, the BBM network was believed to have played a role in organizing disturbances.
It"s very worrying that people would believe shutting down social networks would be worth. The vast
majority of social network use during the unrest was people spreading information and helping each other
get home safely. These kinds of actions would weaken the UK"s position against authoritarian regimes (独裁政权). As we live more of our lives online, people should be conscious of the amount of power they"re probably handing over to government.
Jonathan Polanyi, a lawyer in criminal law and member of the Bar Council"s IT Committee, said
developments across 2011 suggested the UK"s legal system was failing to keep pace with technological
change.
"We"ve seen discussions about libel (诽谤) and super-forbidden on Twitter; the use of social
networking to coordinate civil unrest in UK cities and a series of high profile attacks on well-known
companies which have led to loss of data," he said. "It is important that the law quickly develops to deal
with issues related to new technology."
B. An 18-year-old boy.
C. A young woman of 24.
D. An old man of 66.
B. attempted to plan riots on the social media site
C. led to some disturbance to the social media site
D. started disturbances using Facebook and Twitter
B. the BBM network organized disturbances
C. shutting down social networks would be desirable
D. 70% of adults supported the shutdown of the network
B. The law associated with new technology should be progressed.
C. Twitter has led to loss of data and should be accused.
D. Some well-known companies were attacked by Twitter.

Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research. The downturn is the longest since a depression that began in
1981and lasted sixteen months.
Economists generally wait for production to shrink for six months in a row before they declare a
re-cession. But the bureau, a private group, uses a wider set of information to measure the economy.
Thenews only confirmed what many people already knew: that the world"s largest economy is weak and
maynot recover soon.
Worsening conclitions have led to a big drop in spending, especially on costly products like new cars.
Even Japanese automaker Toyota saw its sales fall thirty - four percent in the United States in November
from a year ago.
The heads of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors retumed to Congress this week to again ask for
federal aid. Congressional leaders denounced (指责) them two weeks ago after they came in private
jets with no clear plans for saving their industry. This time, the chiefs drove to Washington in fuel- saving
hybrid vehicles. And their companies presented detailed restructuring plans. The reguest for aid has risen
from twenty-five billion dollars two weeks ago to thirty-four billion in loans and credit lines.
G.M. wants almost half of that, and says it needs four billion dollars this month. It warned that without
support it cannot continue to operate.
Ford is in a better position, But the sharing of suppliers means it could be affected if G.M. or
Chrysler fails. Ford is asking for a nine billion dollar credit line in case it needs it.
Chrysler is the smallest and most trouble of America"s Big Three. It says it needs a seven billion dollar
loan by the end of the month.
Two days of congressional hearings began Thursday in the Senate Banking Committee. The chairman, Democrat Chris Dodd, said he would support helping the automakers for the good of the economy.
But the committee"s top Republican, Richard Shelby, continued to express opposition to a bailout
(贿政援助).
A main root of the world financial crisis is the weak housing market in the United States. The
Trea-sury Department has been under pressure to help troubled homeowners. Now comes news that the
depart-ment is developing a plan aimed at reducing interest rates on mortgage loans (汽车贷款) for

An English-language textbook, "The Speeches of Barack Obama," has sold more than 400,000 copies
in two months, a big hit in a country where few hit novels sell more than a million copies a year.
Japanese have a love for learning English and many bookstores have a corner especially for dozens of
journals in the language, many of them now featuring(给……以显要位置) the new U.S. leader"s face.
"Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates(候选人) are excellent as listening tools to learn
English, because their contents are good and their words are easy to catch," said Yuzo Yamamoto of
Asahi Press, which produced the best-selling text book.
"Obama"s is especially so. His speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as "yes, we
can," "change" and "hope" that even Japanese people can memorize," he said.
"Speeches by George W. Bush and former nominee (被提名者) John Kerry"s four years ago did not
have the same attraction, however, and nor do those made by Japanese politicians, Yamamoto said.
The 95-page book features Obama"s speeches in English from the 2004 Democratic National
Convention and during the Democratic Party primaries, in which he defeated Hillary Clinton. They are
accompanied by Japanese translations.
The 1,050 yen ($12) book, which includes a CD of the speeches, tops the bestseller list on bookseller Amazon"s Japanese Website.
"Readers have sent in postcards saying that when they heard the speeches, they were so moved and
ried even though they don"t understand English very well," Yamamoto said.
Following Obama"s inauguration ( 就职典礼) on Tuesday, Asahi Press plans to issue a sequel (续集)
that includes his inaugural address, as well as President John F. Kennedy"s 1961 inaugural speech. It will
also feature a reading of President Abraham Lincoln"s Gettysburg address of 1863.
B. They"re cheap to buy.
C. They"re best-sellers.
D. They"re official.
B. More than 400,000 copies have been sold in a month.
C. It is sold with a CD of the speeches.
D. It is a best-selling textbook published by Asahi Press.
B. the best-seller includes Obama"s inaugural speech
C. speeches by Japanese politicians have the same attraction
D. many readers are benefiting from the best-seller
B. Obama: from promise to power
C. Japanese learn English from Obama"s speeches
D. Obama and English learning
