Part B

Passage 1:

China, a country with a civilization of 5000 years, has contributed to the world its four major inventions, namely, the compass, gun-powder, paper-making and movable-type printing. Meanwhile, China has spread across the globe its knowledge and methods of traditional health care, for example, taijiquan boxing (or shadow boxing), static qigong breathing (or controlled deep breathing exercise) and therapeutic massage. //

These health care methods are very effective not only in preserving physical health, but also in mental health and weight reduction. According to the theory of Chinese traditional medicine, maintaining a balance between the mind and the body and a harmonious state of balance between the yin and yang vital energy is essential for health. The practice of taijiquan and qigong is based on this theory.

Passage 2:

In the world today, as the economies of all countries and regions are closely interrelated, no

country or region can develop in self-seclusion. The same is true with China. Therefore, we have taken it as a basic state policy to open wider to the outside world on the basis of self reliance. //

A socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics is an open system with an open economy as its core. We will continue to improve the investment environment so that overseas investors will make profits. We are ready to assimilate and draw upon the science and technology and managerial experience that are useful to us.
