Is There a Way to Keep the Britain’s Economy Growing？
1 In today’s knowledge economy，nations survive on the things they do best.Japanese design electronics while Germens export engineering techniques．The French serve，the best food and Americans make computers．
2 Britain specializes in the gift of talking．The nation doesn’t manufacture much of anything．But it has lawyers，stylists and business consultants who earn their living from talk talk and more talk．The World Foundation think tank says the UK’s four iconic jobs today are not scientists，engineers，teachers and nurses．Instead，they’re hairdressers，celebrities，management consultants and managers．But can all this talking keep the British economy going？The British government thinks it can．
3 Although the country’s trade deficit was more than ￡ 60 billion in 2006，UK’s largest in the postwar period，officials say the country has nothing to worry about．In fact，Britain does have a world—class pharmaceutical industry？and it still makes a small sum from selling arms abroad．It also trades services—accountancy，insurance，banking and advertising．The government believes Britain is on the cutting edge of the knowledge economy．After all，me country of Shakespeare and Wordsworth has a literary tradition of which to be proud．Rock‘n’roll is an English language medium，and there are billions to be made by their cutting—edge bands．In other words，the creative economy has plenty of strength to carry the British economy．
4 However，creative industries account for only about 4 percent of UK’s exports of goods and services．The industries are finding it hard to make a profit，according to a report of the National Endowment for Science，Technology and the Arts The report shows only 38 percent of British companies were engaged in”innovation activities”，3 percentage points below the EU average and well below Germany（61 percent）and Sweden（47 percent）．
5 In fact，it might be better to call Britain a“servant”economy—there are at least 4 minion people“in service"．The majority of the population are employed by the rich to cook，clean，and take care of their children．Many graduates are even doing menial jobs for which they do not need a degree．Most employment growth has been，and will continue to be，at the low—skill end of the service sector—in shops，bars，hotels，domestic service and in nursing and care homes．
第 41 题 Paragraph 2_________
第10题
A country may lack natural resources: although the UK has discovered and used North Sea oil, it lacks reserves of many minerals such as iron ore. The country will therefore have to obtain what it lacks naturally from other countries, again by trading its own surplus products.
The United Kingdom depends on foreign trade.
Imports are received from other countries and paid for by the UK. Exports are sent overseas, for which the country receives payment. The trade consists of both "visible" and "invisible".
Visible trade consists of goods that are imported or exported. Invisible trade is made up of services such as banking, insurance and tourism, which are also imported and exported. There will be further discussion on it later.
A country benefits from trading with other countries. These benefits come from greater competition, greater specialization and greater choice.
The United Kingdom needs to trade with other countries for many reasons:
1．It lacks natural resources and raw materials.
The type of climate means that certain foodstuffs cannot be grown naturally and minerals not found here will have to be imported.
2．It needs foreign currency to buy what it cannot produce, and this foreign currency is gained by selling exports.
3．Its manufacturers gain from wider markets, allowing greater production and economies of scale.
4．As trade increases, unemployment may fall, which benefits the country as a whole, as well as an individual worker.
5．Its population gains from the wider choice of goods and services now available.
However, there are some changes in UK trade; until recently, the United Kingdom was regarded by other countries as essentially a producer of manufactured goods for export, with raw materials and foodstuffs being imported in return. Exports of manufactured goods and semi-manufactures' are still very important, and are boosted nowadays by the export of North Sea oil.
The large imports to the UK are now also finished manufactured goods, with foodstuff imports taking a smaller proportion of the total than previously. We said last time that Britain depended on trade in order to survive. Generally speaking, she is not rich in natural resources and must therefore import large quantities of food and raw materials (crude oil, chemicals, ironware etc.). She must export large quantities of manufactured goods in order to pay for the food and raw materials and maintain a favorable balance of trade. Trade in commodities like oil and cars is known as visible trade.
However, there is another type of trade known as invisible trade. Invisible trade is not concerned with commodities but with movements of money. It includes invisible imports such as money spent by the British government overseas, loans to developing countries, sterling spent by British tourists abroad, payments to foreign shipping companies and so on. At first sight these payments look like exports because the money goes overseas, but they are in fact imports because the expenditure they represent is lost to the British economy.
Similarly, there are invisible exports such as profits, interest and dividends from overseas investment, foreign currency spent by tourists to Britain, payments received by British shipping companies, receipts from insurance, etc.
During the late 1990's Britain went through a long crisis in her balance of payments. The balance of payments is a complicated matter, but basically it is the difference between what a country spends and what it earns. For various reasons Britain was spending more abroad than she was earning during 1997 and 1998. So there was a balance of payments deficit. In 19
A．raw materials.
B．manufactured goods.
C．food products.
