      日韩两国举办世界杯，是想借足球之名，行天下善事、促本国发展。激烈的比赛着实让球迷过足了瘾，可比赛才举行半个月，行善一事就泡了汤，拉动经济发展的效果也微乎其微。没 几个球迷愿意为与比赛无关的消费填单，这实在出乎人们意料。在日本，比赛场内座位半空，而场外则人满为患，没票入场。日本首相 此尴尬不已，命令官方介入，调查票务丑闻。韩国足联宣布，每场比赛亏损高达80万美元，进而威胁起诉票务代理Byrom 没能及时印制发送球票。

      日韩两国都想借世界杯在国内外所收益，这可能是因为两国仍沉醉于1964年东京奥运会和1988年汉城奥运会。日本长期受到经济停滞不前的影响，迫切重振往日雄风。而韩国则寄希望于世界杯稳步摆脱1997 年亚洲经济危机影响，重塑亚洲强国地位。他们的如意算盘是：得巨资更新设备，迎巨大游客群体，借世界杯赛，向全球电视观众展示日韩两国雄风。

1.   High school and college students in the United States today have one important question about their futures: will they find a job if they graduate? There is no easy answer, of course. But let’s look at some of the recent changes in the US job market. The most important change has been the shift from a manufacturing economy to a service economy. A service economy is one in which most workers provide services, like pumping gas into people’s cars. Service jobs include transportation and utility companies, wholesale and retail companies, finance, insurance, and real estate companies and personal services.

2.   During the past five years, the number of Americans killed annually in car accidents has climbed to more than 55 thousand. Most car accidents can be attributed to three general causes: mechanical failures, especially those related to faulty brakes and blown tyres account for significant number of fatal accidents; environmental conditions, such as narrow streets, heavy fog, intermittent rain or snow resulting in slippery roads also contribute to the accident statistics; but the most frequently reported factors in cars’accidents are errors of human judgment, such as speeding, drunken driving, and failure to signal a change from one lane to another. The man behind the wheel is often his own worst enemy. //tr.hjenglish.com/

Therefore, the CBC is taking the 10 preferential policies, something developed to sharpen its edge over the foreign opponents, in an effort to raise its share in the private car loans, from 30% to 50% and even more.//tr.hjenglish.com/
