The Chinese Dream Is the People's Dream Xi Jinping Since the founding of the PRC in 1949, and particularly since the start of reform and opening up in 1978, China has completed an extraordinary journey, in which people of my generation have been personally involved. In the late 1960s, when I was in my teens, I was sent to a small village named Liangjiahe in Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, in western China. There I worked in the fields as a farmer for seven years. Like the locals, I lived in caves dug out from loess hills and slept on an earthen bed. The locals were very poor, and they could go for months without a bite of meat. I grew to understand what they needed most. Later when I became secretary of the village's Party branch, I set out to develop the local economy, because I knew what they needed. I very much wanted to see them have meat on their dinner tables, and I wanted to see that often. But that was a hard goal to attain. This Spring Festival I went back to Liangjiahe, which now has asphalt roads, tile-roofed brick houses, and internet access. The elderly enjoy the basic old-age pension, the villagers are covered by medical insurance, and the children receive good education. Having meat for dinner is of course no longer a dream. This made me feel strongly that the Chinese Dream is the people's dream, and that if it is to succeed, it must be based on the Chinese people's aspiration for a better life. Changes in the small village of Liangjiahe epitomize the development and progress of the Chinese society since 1978. In less than 40 years we have boosted our economy to become the world's second largest, supplying 1.3 billion people with food and clothing and basically achieving moderate prosperity. The people enjoy dignity and rights at an unprecedented level. These changes have not only affected the lives of the Chinese. They also signify remarkable progress in human civilization and China's important contribution to world peace and development. Nonetheless, we are fully aware that China remains the world's biggest developing country. China's per capita GDP is only two-thirds of the world average and one-seventh that of the United States, ranking about 80th in global terms. According to our standards, there are still 70 million people living in poverty in China; according to World Bank standards, 200 million Chinese are still living below the poverty line. In urban and rural areas 70 million people rely on subsistence allowances, and there are 85 million people with disabilities. Over the past two years I have visited many impoverished areas in China, and paid personal visits to families in need. Even now I can still see their faces and feel their longing for a better life. All this demonstrates that we in China must continue our hard work. Development remains the top priority for contemporary China, and the primary task of China's leadership is to focus on improving people's living standards and achieving common prosperity. It is to this end that we have put forward the Two Centenary Goals. The first is to double GDP and the per capita incomes of urban and rural residents compared to 2010 levels, and to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020, as the centenary of the CPC approaches. The second is to build China into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious, and achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation by the middle of the century, which will see the centenary of the PRC. All that we are doing now is designed to accomplish these goals. We must achieve the first goal, and in order to do that we must drive reform to deeper levels, we must thoroughly implement the rule of law, and we must run the Party with strict discipline. This is what we call the Four-pronged Strategy. (This is a part of the speech at a reception in Seattle, Washington State, the United States.) 1.

Speech at the Grave of Karl Marx Frederick Engles On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think. He had been left alone for scarcely two minutes, and when we came back we found him in his armchair, peacefully gone to sleep -- but for ever. An immeasurable loss has been sustained both by the militant proletariat of Europe and America, and by historical science, in the death of this man. The gap that has been left by the departure of this mighty spirit will soon enough make itself felt. Just as Darwin discovered the law of development or organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue politics, science, art, religion, etc.; that therefore the production of the immediate material means, and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch, form the foundation upon which the state institutions, the legal conceptions, art, and even the ideas on religion, of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which they must, therefore, be explained, instead of vice versa, as had hitherto been the case. But that is not all. Marx also discovered the special law of motion governing the present-day capitalist mode of production, and the bourgeois society that this mode of production has created. The discovery of surplus value suddenly threw light on the problem, in trying to solve which all previous investigations, of both bourgeois economists and socialist critics, had been groping in the dark. Two such discoveries would be enough for one lifetime. Happy the man to whom it is granted to make even one such discovery. But in every single field which Marx investigated -- and he investigated very many fields, none of them superficially -- in every field, even in that of mathematics, he made independent discoveries. Such was the man of science. But this was not even half the man. Science was for Marx a historically dynamic, revolutionary force. However great the joy with which he welcomed a new discovery in some theoretical science whose practical application perhaps it was as yet quite impossible to envisage, he experienced quite another kind of joy when the discovery involved immediate revolutionary changes in industry, and in historical development in general. For example, he followed closely the development of the discoveries made in the field of electricity and recently those of Marcel Deprez. For Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat, which he was the first to make conscious of its own position and its needs, conscious of the conditions of its emancipation. Fighting was his element. And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a success such as few could rival. His work on the first Rheinische Zeitung (1842), the Paris Vorwarts (1844), the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung (1847), the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1848-49), the New York Tribune (1852-61), and, in addition to these, a host of militant pamphlets, work in organisations in Paris, Brussels and London, and finally, crowning all, the formation of the great International Working Men's Association -- this was indeed an achievement of which its founder might well have been proud even if he had done nothing else. And, consequently, Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers -- from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America -- and I make bold to say that, though he may have had many opponents, he had hardly one personal enemy. His name will endure through the ages, and so also will his work. 1. When did Marx pass away A. On the 14th of March, at half past three B. On the 14th of March, at three quarters past two C.

根据文章内容，从文章后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Working Together to Build a Community of Shared Future for Humankind (Excerpt) Speech at the United Nations Office at Geneva January 18, 2017 Xi Jinping Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, Great visions can be realized only through actions. Actions hold the key to building a community of shared future for humankind. To achieve this goal, the international community should promote partnership, security, growth, inter-cultural exchanges, and the building of a sound ecosystem. 1 When countries enjoy peace, so will the world; when countries fight, the world will suffer. From the Peloponnesian War in the fifth century BC to the two world wars and the Cold War that lasted more than four decades, we have drawn painful and profound lessons from conflict. "History, if not forgotten, can serve as a guide for the future." By establishing the United Nations, those before us secured more than 70 years of relative peace for the world. What we need to do is to improve the mechanisms and means at our disposal to more effectively resolve disputes, reduce tensions, and put an end to wars and conflicts. The Swiss writer and Nobel laureate Hermann Hesse stressed the importance of serving "not war and destruction but peace and reconciliation." Countries should foster partnerships based on dialogue, non-confrontation, and non-alliance. Major countries should respect each other's core interests and major concerns, manage their differences, and build a new model of relations characterized by non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect, and mutually-beneficial cooperation. As long as we communicate and treat each other with sincerity, the "Thucydides trap" can be avoided. Big countries should treat smaller ones as equals instead of acting as a hegemon imposing their will on them. No country should open Pandora's box by willfully waging wars or undermining the international rule of law. Nuclear weapons, the Sword of Damocles that hangs over humankind, should be completely prohibited and ultimately destroyed, ridding the world of them once and for all. Guided by the principles of peace, sovereignty, inclusiveness, and shared governance, we should turn the deep seas, the polar regions, outer space, and the Internet into new frontiers for cooperation rather than a wrestling ground for competition. 2 No country in the world can enjoy absolute security. A country cannot have security while others are in turmoil, as threats facing other countries may one day come to haunt it. When our neighbors are in trouble, instead of tightening our own fences, we should extend a helping hand. As a saying goes, "United we stand, divided we fall." All countries should pursue common, comprehensive, cooperative, and sustainable security. Terrorist attacks that have occurred in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East in recent years once again demonstrate that terrorism is the common enemy of humankind. Fighting terrorism is the common responsibility of all countries. In fighting terror, we should not just treat the symptoms, but remove the root causes. We should enhance coordination and build a global united front against terrorism so as to create an umbrella of security for people around the world. At present the number of refugees in the world is at its highest since the end of World War II. While tackling the refugee crisis, we should also get to its roots. Why would anyone want to be displaced if they had a home to return to? The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration should act as a coordinator, mobilizing the whole world to respond effectively to the refugee crisis. China has decided to provide an additional 200 million yuan of humanitarian assistance for refugees and the displaced of Syria. As terrorism and refugee crises are closely linked to geopolitical conflicts, the resolution of conflicts represents the fundamental solution to such problems. Parties directly involved should return to the negotiating table, and other parties should work to facilitate talks for peace, and we should all respect the role the UN plays as the main channel for mediation. Pandemic diseases such as bird flu, Ebola, and Zika have sounded the alarm for international health security. The WHO should play a leading role in strengthening epidemic monitoring and sharing information, practices, and technologies. The international community should step up support and assistance for public health in African countries and other developing countries. 3 Development is the top priority for all countries. Instead of trying to benefit oneself at the expense of one's neighbor, countries should stick together like passengers in the same boat. All countries, the main economies in particular, should strengthen macro policy coordination, pursue both current and long-term interests, and focus on resolving deep-seated problems. We should seize the historic opportunity presented by a new round of scientific, technological, and industrial change to shift growth models, drive growth through innovation, and further unleash social productivity and creativity. We should uphold WTO rules, support an open, transparent, inclusive and nondiscriminatory multilateral trading regime, and build an open world economy. Trade protectionism and self-isolation will benefit no one. Economic globalization is a surging historical trend that has greatly facilitated trade, investment, the flow of people, and technological advances. Since the turn of the century, under the auspices of the UN and riding on the waves of economic globalization, the international community has set the Millennium Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Thanks to these initiatives, 1.1 billion people have been lifted out of poverty, 1.9 billion people now have access to safe drinking water, 3.5 billion people have gained access to the Internet, and the goal has been set to eradicate extreme poverty by 2030. All this demonstrates that economic globalization is moving in the right direction. Of course, challenges such as development disparity, governance difficulties, digital divide, and equity deficit still exist. But they are growing pains. We should face these problems and tackle them, rather than simply do nothing. As we Chinese like to say, one should not stop eating for fear of choking. We should draw inspiration from history. Historians told us long ago that rapid economic development necessitates social reform; but people tend to support the former while rejecting the latter. Instead of hesitating, we should firmly move forward. Answers can also be found in reality. The 2008 international financial crisis has taught us that we should strengthen coordination and improve governance so as to ensure the sound progression of economic globalization and make this process open, inclusive, balanced, and beneficial to all. We should not only make the cake bigger, but divide it fairly to ensure justice and equity. Last September, the G20 Summit in Hangzhou focused on global economic governance and other major issues. Adopting the Blueprint on Innovative Growth, it put development in the global macro policy framework for the first time and formulated an action plan. 4 Delicious soup is made by combining different ingredients. The diversity of human civilizations not only defines our world, but also drives the progress of humankind. There are more than 200 countries and regions, over 2,500 ethnic groups, and numerous religions in our world. Different histories, national conditions, ethnic groups, and customs have given birth to different civilizations and made the world a colorful one. There is no such thing as a superior or inferior civilization. Civilizations differ only in identity and location. The diversity of civilizations should not be a source of global conflict; rather, it should be an engine driving the advancement of human civilization. Every civilization, with its own appeal and roots, is a treasure of the humankind. Different civilizations should draw on each other's strengths to achieve common progress. We should make exchanges among civilizations a source of inspiration for advancing human society and a bond that keeps the world in peace. 5 People coexist with nature, which means that any harm we inflict on nature will eventually come back to haunt us. We often take natural resources such as air, water, soil and blue sky for granted. But we wouldn't be able to survive without them. Industrialization has created material wealth like never seen before, but it has also inflicted irreparable damage on the environment. We must not exhaust all the resources left to us by previous generations and leave nothing to our children, or pursue development in a destructive way. Lucid waters and lush mountains are just as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. We must maintain harmony between humans and nature and pursue sustainable development. We should pursue a green, low-carbon, circular, and sustainable way of life and production, advance the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in a balanced manner, and explore a civilized path of development that ensures increased levels of production, high standards of living, and fine natural environments. The Paris Agreement is a milestone in the history of climate governance. We must ensure that this endeavor is not derailed. All parties should work together to implement the Paris Agreement. China will continue to take steps to tackle climate change and fully honor its obligations. The Swiss army knife embodies Swiss craftsmanship. When I first got one, I was amazed at the amount of functions it had. I couldn't help thinking how wonderful it would be if a Swiss army knife could be made for the world: whenever there was a problem, we could use one of the tools on the knife to fix it. I believe that with the unremitting efforts of the international community, such a knife can be made.
