2. Most of them like to go in for ecommerce.

3. Because IT is the leading industry now.

4. They want to gain experience in the States before they come back.

5. It is the complicated relationship and the uncertainty of our human resource management system.

6. It means some of the HBS elite have made their final decision to return to China to serve their country.

Lesson Three

1. The writer thinks that the best way to appreciate how much changed in China has is to examine the people themselves: what they eat and drink now and how dangerously overweight more than one-fifth of adults are.

2. Traditional Chinese lifestyle emphasizes restraint while the Western lifestyle emphasizes indulgence. The change from Traditional lifestyle to Western indulgence will affect public health strongly: deaths from

diet-related illnesses are expected to increase 10 times faster than population growth. And the increase in health care costs could slow down the economic development.

3. Less exercise and more fat in the diet. Because people have more money than before.

4. YES. He believes that increased supplies of alcohol, together with the rising disposable income, have stimulated drinking.

5. YES. Unhealthy eating and drinking may cause diseases like heart attack, stroke and adult-onset diabetes, and the government will have to spend more money to treat these diseases.

3. NO. Because Darwin’s theory has conflicted with people’s religious convictions. The “monkey trial” was a famous case, in which Tennessee school teacher was convicted of violating the ban of teaching evolution in 1925. That was a big war between creationism and evolutionism.

4. Living things are too exquisitely complex to have evolved by a combination of chance mutations and natural selection. Some pieces in the fossil record that may prove the evolution process are missing.

5. NO. The earlier anti-Darwinists, mostly creationists, regarded evolution as a heresy and they openly claimed the role of God. But the proponents of intelligent design accept some role of evolution and they avoid bringing God into the discussion.

6. They think the intelligent design is faith-based, so the debate about evolution is not a real scientific argument.

7. Because it is difficult for people to argue over such benign and earnest language. This can even make people feel the theory a scientific one and avoid violation against the Constitution.

8. 开放性问题。

Lesson Six

1. It is a riff on classic territorial conquest board game. It more closely resembles an intramural or interscholastic sport than the typical online video game.
