21、nts for the poor.

23、ogy allows the haves to increase their control on global markets with destructive impact on the have-nots.For them the result is instability. Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine

24、. As “futures“ are traded on computer screens, developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.So what are the options for regaining control? One alternative is for developing countries to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications themselves so-called “development

25、communications“ modernization. Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries economies.Communications technology is generally exported from the US, Europe or Japan; the patents, skills and ability to manufacture remain in the hands of a few industri

26、alized countries. It is also expensive, and imported products and services must therefore be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.Furthermore, when new technology is introduced there is often too low a level of expertise to exploit it for native devel

27、opment. This means that while local elites, foreign communities and subsidiaries of transnational corporations may benefit, those whose lives depend on access to the information are denied it.（分数：5.00）(1).From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of _.（分数：1

32、ples often had children right after getting married. They didnt ask themselves if they had the desire to stay up at night with babies, to spend a good part of their time with children, to give up going out at night whenever they wanted to. Now, many young couples feel that not having children will a

33、llow them to have a freer, more enjoyable life style.Never has the question of family size attracted as much attention in this country as it is getting now. In this time of “Uthe pill/U“, womens liberation, and high prices, young couples are giving serious thought to the number of children they want

34、, can afford, or can raise successfully. What are the emotional or financial problems of raising a big family? Does raising children become incompatible with wifes working career in the out side world? Can a childless couple achieve lasting satisfaction on their own?Michael Shandrik, 29, and his wif

35、e Pamela, 31, for example, have joined the growing number of young couples who dont have, and dont want children. Many of their close friends are childless and plan to remain that way. Michael says the decision not to have children developed over four years of marriage. He explains, “We never decide

36、d to become childless. It more or less became an understanding after we got married.“ Pamela adds, “If I had married before 23, I probably would have had children. But as the years went by, I got used to the idea of working and not having children Its too late to change now.“For both of them, the de

37、sire for a free-style played a big part in the decision. Michael, who wants to build a career in communications, makes the point honestly: “We are just too selfish to have children at the point. We would rather buy the things we really want than go without things for the sake of children. If we had

38、a kid, we would have to start thinking about its education and health. We like the independence of getting up and going somewhere whenever we want. I want to go ahead.“Pamela, too, is concerned about her career. But she also speaks about the need to prevent over-population. She says she is a support

39、er of Zero Population Growth, and adds, “I am doing my part to keep the world from being over-crowded with human beings in another 100 years. Furthermore, from womans point of view, if you have children when you are young, there is a 50-50 chance you will be raising them alone. I know a lot of divor

Nor is here any other about which more

45、 nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is not what is normally called economies, which is inexact rather than nonsensical, and only in the same way as all sciences are at the point where they try to predict peoples behavior and its consequences. Indeed most social sciences and, fo
