But the recovery from the pandemic is uneven and fragile 疫情后全球经济复苏，但三大经济断层线影响复苏持久以及区域平衡 原文选段excerpt THE PANDEMIC caused a fearsome economic slump, but now a weird, exhilarating boom is in full swing. The oil price has soared, while restaurants and haulage firms are having to fight and flatter to recruit staff. As listed firms signal that profits will hit an all-time high this year, stockmarkets are on a tear. An index produced by JPMorgan Chase and IHSMarkit suggests that global growth is at its highest since the exuberant days of 2006. Any escape from covid-19 is a cause for celebration. But today’s booming economy is also a source of anxiety, because three fault lines lie beneath the surface. Together, they will determine who prospers, and whether the most unusual recovery in living memory can be sustained. 1. The first fault line divides the jabs from the jab-nots. 2. The second fault line runs between supply and demand. 3. The final fault line is over the withdrawal of stimulus.▷助读笔记 *slump -falling, cave in(n) -fall or sink suddenly(v) *haulage-pulling, transport *stock market on a tear on a tear-having great success over a period of time But whether it's getting overly excited when stocks are on a tear or too pessimistic when the market is taking a beating, letting your emotions sway your investing strategy can inflict real damage on your retirement prospects. 影响经济复苏的三条断层线：1. 有疫苗和没疫苗的断层；2. 供给和需求的断层；3. 有刺激政策的和放弃治疗的断层。

Adams’s Apple
Eric Adams is poised to be New York’s next mayor
His pragmatism may serve the city well
美国纽约新市长
原文选段excerpt
“SOME PEOPLE talk about police brutality. I want to tell you how it is to live through it.” So begins the video that launched Eric Adams’s mayoral campaign. In the clip he stands outside the police station in Queens where, when he was 15, police beat him and his brother. Despite this experience, or maybe because of it, he later joined the police force, eventually becoming both a police captain and a prominent internal critic of racism and brutality at the NYPD. In his campaign he blended a call to reform the police with respect for the badge and a pledge to crack down on crime, and on July 6th, two weeks after the Democratic primary, he was named the projected winner. That almost certainly makes him the next mayor, since Democrats outnumber Republicans in New York’s electorate by seven to one.

The Jassy age
Andy Jassy is off to a propitious start as boss of Amazon
A day after the departure of Jeff Bezos, the digital giant’s thriving cloud business got a boost from the Biden administration
亚马逊新任CEOJassy，面对一个坏时代，会否带来一个新时代？
原文选段excerpt
IT WASN'T a bad start for Andy Jassy, who on July 5th succeeded Jeff Bezos as boss of Amazon. The next day the share price of the digital empire, which Mr Bezos had led since founding it as an online bookshop in 1994, rose by nearly 5%, and its market value jumped above $1.8trn. Mr Jassy’s undoubted managerial virtues probably weren’t the reason. The likelier cause is the Pentagon’s decision to bin a cloud-computing deal with Microsoft. The $10bn contract, which Amazon had challenged, arguing it was unfairly awarded to its rival, is instead to be shared by the two tech giants and possibly others. Still, if the new CEOis to maintain Mr Bezos’s sterling record, a little luck won’t hurt.

原文选段excerpt
ATTITUDES TO STRANGERS tend to follow a familiar pattern. Children are taught never to speak to unknown grown-ups, especially those regarded by their parents as untrustworthy. The onset of adolescence and young adulthood brings a bursting desire to interact with all sorts of people, particularly the kind who might not elicit family approval. Whether the resulting encounters are sexual or social, they confer a thrilling frisson of escape...

Donald Rumsfeld
America’s secretary of defence in both the cold war and the modern era
经历过冷战和911的国防部长
原文选段excerpt
AS HE SAT in the Pentagon on September 11th 2001, Donald Rumsfeld felt the table tremble. It had once been used by General William Tecumseh Sherman; no trembler he. At the same moment, the whole building shook. Running out across the grass, he saw a huge blackened gash in the west side, figures scrambling out of it, dense smoke and flames. He ran towards the fire to help. His staff tried to hustle him to safety, but he wouldn’t have it. The terrorists were not going to win on his watch. The Pentagon, he declared on TV, would be back in business in the morning.
