Passage 1

The US dollar value of Chinese exports increased at an average

rate of almost 18 per cent per annum between 1978 and 1983,

while

imports

increased

by

approximately

11

per

cent

per

annum. As a result, the visible trade surplus rose sharply from

5

US

$$1.4

billion

in

1981

to

US

$$4.4

billion

in

1982

and

US$$3.7

billion in 1983. Exports grew much

faster than

imports during

this period not only because of the strong emphasis placed on

exporting

by

China’s

economic

planners,

but

also

because

a

number of industrial projects were postponed in 1979. Official

recognition

that

foreign

technology

could

play

a

major

role

in

modernising the Chinese economy

had caused imports to rise

by more than 50 per cent in 1978 placing undue strain on the

national

economy.

Grain

imports

have

fallen

sharply

over

the

past

few

years

—

China

became

a

net

grain

exporter

in

1984

—

and in 1983 the country started to export soyabeans and

cotton.

36. What do “per annum” and “approximately” mean?

37. Why did the more than 50% rise in imports of 1978 place

undue strain on China’s national economy

?

38. What is “a net grain exporter”? Does it mean one who has

never done any import?

Passage 2

Korea, once known as the “Hermit Kingdom”, is plainly on the

move. As with “Japan, Inc.” before it, the new label “Korea, Inc.”

may be no more than a trendy buzzword. But South Korea aims

to forge just such a national economic machine, using the might
