Exploring the Developing Integrated Cognitive Competence
(综合认知能力发展探究)
Session 3
(第3讲)
Try critical listening and reading with active responses
(在积极应对中尝试评析性听读)
The general idea in this session:
Our integrated cognitive competence is expected to be developed through our critical thinking in listening and reading.
Questions for discussion after our critical reading:
1. What does ‘revolution’ mean in this article?
2. What is expected from China by Stephen R. Platt, an associate professor of history at the University of Massachusetts? (We just regard this American scholar’s attitude toward China is something unknown to us.)

Opinion
Is China Ripe for a Revolution?
…
As Mr. Xi prepares to visit the United States on Tuesday, a similar sympathy shapes our view of China’s current unrest. Just last weekend, Senator John McCain warned China’s vice foreign minister that “the Arab Spring is coming to China.” The dominant tenor of Western press coverage is that the Communist Party is finally receiving its comeuppance — for its corruption, for its misrule in the countryside, for its indifference to human rights and democracy. And below the surface, usually unspoken, lurks a deeply felt sense of schadenfreude — a desire to see the Communist Party toppled from power by its own people.
Wu Benhu: What does the sentence “the Arab Spring is coming to China” mean? Do you think so?
The Arab Spring is a wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Arab world including countries such as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya suffered from a civil war resulting in the fall of the country's government.
But China is different from the Arab world. China’s government is firmly support by the Chinese people and China’s government tries its best for the benefit of the Chinese people. So they do not want the Arab Spring coming to China because it means disaster and suffering.

中国政府是世界上满意度最高的政府
2012年2月4日在德国慕尼黑安全政策会议上,我外交部副部长张志军和美国国会参议员麦凯恩激烈交锋。
麦凯恩在发言中无端指责中国。称,美国希望维持在亚太的有效军事存在;美国信奉“一系列价值观的原则”,“阿拉伯之春”应当进入中国。
张志军反驳:事实上,根据西方机构的一项民意调查,在民众对政府满意度方面,中国政府以超过70%的得票率高居第一。中国政府之所以受到民众的拥护,理由很简单,改革开放三十多年来,中国政治、经济、社会等方面迅速发展,其成就超过了历史上任何阶段。任何人只要看看这些变化,就知道所谓“中国出现阿拉伯之春”是幻想。
面对麦凯恩的狂妄,澳大利亚外长陆克文(前总理)都看不下去了,陆克文说,他关注中国已有30多年时间了。将现在的中国同过去的中国对比,首先我们看到有4亿人摆脱了贫困,中国民众的个人自由充分得到尊重,在书店可以看到各种题材的书籍,这其实就是民主的体现。
米国鬼子太偏执啊,在西方民意调查机构的数据面前仍然揣着明白装糊涂。
地不分南北,只要包括莱芜在内的中华大地都生机勃勃,我们的民族复兴大业就不远了。
坚定地走自己的路,让山姆大叔酸溜溜滴说去吧!
