Cancer costs more in 1 and lost life than AIDS, malaria, the flu and other diseases that spread

Chronic diseases including cancer, heart disease and diabetes 2 for more than 60 percent of deaths worldwide but less than 3 percent of public and private 3 for global health, said Rachel Nugent of the Center for Global Development, a Washington-based policy research group. Money s

25、“s gross 6 product, the report says. That“s in terms of disability and years of life lostnot the cost of treating the disease, which wasn“t addressed in the report. Many groups have been pushing for more attention to non-infectious causes of death, and the United Nations General Assembly has set a m

Some policy experts are 7 it to the global initiative that led to big increases in spending on AIDS nearly a decade ago. “This needs to he discussed at the UNhow we are going to deal with this rising burden of 8 disease“, said Dr. Andreas Ullrich, medical officer for

The legislation concerning financial reform focuses on helping regulators de
29、tect and defuse (减少的危险性) the next crisis. But it doesn“t address many of the underlying conditions that can cause problems. B. The legislation gives regulators the power to oversee shadow banks and take failing firms apart, convenes a council of superregulators to watch the megafirms that pose a ris
30、k to the full financial system, and much else. C. But the bill does more to help regulators detect the next financial crisis than to actually stop it from happening. In that way, it“s like the difference between improving public health and improving medicine: The bill focuses on helping the doctors
31、who figure out when you“re sick and how to get you better rather than on the conditions (sewer systems and air quality and hygiene standards and so on) that contribute to whether you get sick in the first place. D. That is to say, many of the weaknesses and imbalances that led to the financial crisi
32、s will survive our regulatory response, and it“s important to keep that in mind. So here are five we still have to watch out for: 1. The Global Glut (供过于求) of Savings E. “One of the leading indicators of a financial crisis is when you have a sustained surge in money flowing into the country which ma
33、kes borrowing cheaper and easier,“ says Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff. Our crisis was no different: Between 1987 and 1999, our current account deficitthe measure of how much money is coming in versus going outfluctuated between 1 and 2 percent of gross domestic product. By 2006, it had hit 6 perc
34、ent. F. The sharp rise was driven by emerging economies with lots of growth and few investment opportunitiesthink Chinafunneling their money to developed economies with less growth and lots of investment opportunities. But we“ve gotten out of the crisis without fixing it. China is still growing fast
35、, exporting faster, and sending the money over to US. 2. Household Debtand Why We Need It G. The fact that money is available to borrow doesn“t explain why Americans borrowed so much of it. Household debt as a percentage of GDP went from a bit less than 60 percent at the beginning of the 1990s to a
36、bit less than 100 percent in 2006. “This is where I come to income inequality,“ says Raghuram Rajan, an economist at the University of Chicago. “A large part of the population saw relatively stagnant incomes over the 1980s and 1990s. Credit was so welcome because it kept people who were falling behi
37、nd reasonably happy. You were keeping up, even if your income wasn“t.“ H. Incomes, of course, are even more stagnant now that unemployment is at 9 percent. And that pain isn“t being shared equally: inequality has actually risen since before the recession, as joblessness is proving sticky among the p
38、oor, but recovery has been swift for the rich. Household borrowing is still more than 90 percent of GDP, and the conditions that drove it up there are, if anything, worse. 3. The “Shadow Banking“ Market I. The financial crisis started out similarly severe, but it wasn“t, at first, a crisis of consum
39、ers. It was a crisis of banks. It never became a crisis of consumers because consumer deposits are insured. But large investorspension funds, banks, corporations, and othersaren“t insured. But when they hear that their collateral (附属担保品) is dropping in value, they demand their money back. And when e
40、veryone does that at once, it“s like an old-fashioned bank run: The banks can“t pay everyone off at once, so they unload all their assets to get capital, the assets become worthless because everyone is trying to unload them, and the banks collapse. J. “This is an inherent problem of privately create
41、d money,“ says Gary Gorton, an economist at Princeton University. “It is vulnerable to these kinds of runs.“ This year, we“re bringing this shadow banking system under the control of regulators and giving them all sorts of information on it and power over it, but we“re not doing anything like deposi
42、t insurance, where we simply make the deposits safe so runs become an anachronism. 4. Rich Banks K. In the 1980s, the financial sector“s share of total corporate profits ranged from about 10 to 20 percent. By 2004, it was about 35 percent. Simon Johnson, an economist at MIT, recalls a conversation h
43、e had with a fund manager. “The guy said to me, “Simon, it“s so little money! You can sway senators for $10 million!?“ Johnson laughs ruefully (后悔地). “These guys big investors don“t even think in millions. They think in billions.“ L. What you get for that money is favors. The last financial crisis f
44、ades from memory and the public begins to focus on other things. Then the finance guys begin nudging (游说). They hold some fundraisers for politicians, make some friends, explain how the regulations they“re under are onerous and unfair. And slowly, surely, those regulations come undone. This financia
45、l crisis will stick in our minds for a while, but not forever. And after briefly dropping to less than 15 percent of corporate profits, the financial sector has rebounded to more than 30 percent. They“ll have plenty of money with which to help their friends forget this whole nasty affair. 5. Lax (不严
46、格的) Regulators M. The most troubling prospect is the chance that this bill, if we“d passed it in 2000, wouldn“t even have prevented this financial crisis. That“s not to undersell it: It would“ve given regulators more information with which to predict the crisis. But they had enough information, and
47、they ignored it. They get caught up in boom times just like everyone else. A bubble, almost by definition, affects the regulators with the power to pop it. N. In 2005, with housing prices running far, far ahead of the historical trend, Bernanke said a housing bubble was “a pretty unlikely possibilit
48、y“. In 2007, he said Fed officials “do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy.“ Alan Greenspan, looking back at the financial crisis, admitted in April that regulators “have had a woeful record of chronic failure. History tells us they cannot identify t
49、he timing of a crisis, or anticipate exactly where it will be located or how large the losses and spillovers will be.“（分数：71.00）(1).In the 1980s and 1990s people experienced no substantial increase in terms of income, which brought about the popularity of credit.（分数：7.10）(2).Financial crisis is a crisis of banks in that shadow banking may cause banks to fail.（分数：7.10）(3).The finance guys make friends with politicians in the hopes of making some burdensome and unfair regulations cancell
