The spread of worsening international financial crisis has seriously affected world economic growth and stability. The ongoing financial crisis is rarely seen in history. Countries and organizations have taken measures in response, and we hope these measures will produce good results soon. Countries in Asia and Europe are an important force for international financial stability and world economic growth. I suggest that we make greater efforts in the following aspects:

First, countries should run their own affairs well. In the face of the crisis, it is important for leaders to act in the fundamental and long-term interests of the people and use necessary monetary and regulatory tools to regain market confidence as soon as possible and maintain economic growth

  Second, set up coordination(調(diào)和) and cooperation among governments. The financial departments, central banks and financial regulators around the world should closely follow the development of the crisis and study its trend and impact.

Third, strengthen regional financial dialogue and cooperation. Members of the Eurozone have reached agreement on the basic principles to tackle the financial crisis. We in Asia are also exploring the possibility of expanding the size of bilateral（雙邊的）currency swap( 互惠外匯信貸)arrangements under the 10+3 framework .

Fourth, push forward the reform of the international monetary and financial systems. The present crisis has exposed the weaknesses in the existing international financial system and governance structure. It is important to do three things in this regard: first, increase the say and representation of developing countries in international financial organizations; second, expand the space of the regulation of the international financial system, and third, establish a reasonable global financial rescue mechanism（機(jī)制）.

Sarah Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school:

Wentworth Girls’ school

Beachside

July 20th

Dearest Mom and Dad,

I’ m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. This breaks the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.

Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.

There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.

The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I’m very sorry about this.

Much love,

Sarah

Julia Roberts was born on October 28, 1967 in Georgia, USA, and she earned an Oscar nomination(提名) for her performance in 1989’s Steel Magnolias.

Later in 1990, she starred in the sad romantic comedy Pretty Woman. The film was an international hit and Roberts became a household name. But her later films, particularly Dying Young (1991), were of a decidedly uneven quality.

In 1993, Julia Roberts married country singer Lyle Lovett and then made a successful come back in The Pelican Brief (1993). But her next two movies in the following year, Pre-a-Porter and I Love Trouble proved to be critical(評(píng)論的) and commercial disappointment. Roberts’ bad luck continued when Mary Reilly (1996) failed at the box office. But her career began to pick up again with Michael Collins and Conspiracy Theory (both 1996). In 1997, Roberts made a successful return in comedy My Best Friend’s Wedding and continued her quick rise in 1999 with Noting Hill and Runaway Bride. Both films helped to further restore Roberts to her status (地位) as the most shining woman in Hollywood. Her biggest success comes from Erin Brockovich. For the excellent performance she made in it Julia Roberts was given the Oscar Best Leading Actress Award on March 25, 2001.

Now Julia Roberts looks on course to win her 10th award for favorite female movie star at this year’s People’s Choice Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.
