The Chinese government has a plan to link the cities of Hong Kong, Macau, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, Zhongshan, Dongguan, Huizhou, Jiangmen and Zhaoqing into an economic and business powerhouse. It will be called The Greater Bay Area. Some in China's central bank are looking to the European Union and Britain to _______ how best to do this.

The Greater Bay Area already has a total economy almost _______ to Australia's. But the area is divided _______ Hong Kong and Macau have their own money and legal systems. This makes _______ difficult.

China's central bank's branch in Shenzhen created a 295-page report on financial and economic integration in the bay. It suggested building a_______ market similar to the 28-state European Union. The report was written with China Merchants Bank's chief economist and published last month. The report notes some of the _______ of European integration. But it also points to some of the problems China faces as it tries to control an area that _______ has international financial markets, industrial centers and technology sectors.

In the report, the head of the Shenzhen central bank, Xing Yujing, was clear about the importance of the free movement of people and money in the bay. The report also pointed to what could be _______ from Britain’s planned exit from Europe.

The European Union and the common market have strengthened “the welfare of the European people," the Shenzhen branch of the People's Bank of China said in a statement. It added that suggestions do not represent official policy _______. Britain has made professional decisions to reduce the effects of Brexit ________keeping "integration with European economy and finance," the report also said.

The European common market ________ the free movement of labor. So should the Greater Bay Area, said Gary Smith. He is a London-based director at Barings Investment Institute. “That's the way that the economic benefits maximized,” he said.

Europe has ________ border control between 26 of its 28 countries. In the Greater Bay Area, there are still borders between Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China. This is the ________ of the "One Country, Two Systems" agreement that permits the two cities to keep their way of life while under Chinese rule.

For a(n) ________ solution, Xing noted Britain's idea of a ‘soft’ border with Ireland after Brexit. The soft border would permit the free movement of people, money and products between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The report said an ________ border could be put in place in the bay and businesses could pay taxes online after crossing it.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国食品行业存在的欺诈行为以及人们和这些欺诈行为做斗争所采取的措施。

【推荐1】When you’re shopping at the grocery store, you probably expect that olive oil you see came from olives, and that the organic vegetables were never exposed to poisonous chemicals. Increasingly, however, there is a chance you might be _________. In recent years, there has been an increase in reports of so-called food fraud, or attempts by various entities—to alter products and _________ customers and food companies alike for financial gain (though occasionally the companies are complicit (同伙). Among the more recent _________: “natural?” honey that’s been laced with antibiotics (抗生素) and Italian companies selling “Italian olive oil” from a mixture of oils that did not originate from Italy.

How can this _________? In the U.S., the Pure Food and Drug Act has prevented the “manufacture, sale or transportation of adulterated or misbranded or poisonous or harmful foods” since 1906, and similar laws exist in other countries. But most global food regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, aren’t equipped to _________ them effectively. For the most part, they _________ safety standards—ensuring that foods don’t contain bacteria or viruses—and rely on companies to police the quality of their own ingredients, lest they face consumer opposition. But now that food manufacturing has become globalized, supply chains are _________, creating more opportunities for bad actors to mess around. “Anyone who can _________ substituting cheap ingredients for more expensive ones is going to try,” says Marion Nestle, who teaches nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University.

Governments are starting _________. In 2014, the UK. created a food-crime unit that collects reports of food fraud. The Institute for Global Food Security lab in Belfast tests __________ sent in by people worried about fraud—a process that’s easier than ever, thanks to advances in technology. And there are efforts in the U.K., the U.S. and China, among other nations, to increase the punishments for companies that get caught selling shady foods.

But in order to __________ fraud in the first place, the food industry needs to get better at safeguarding its own production network. So the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)—a trade group consisting of officials from more than 300 food manufacturers—will this year start __________ its members’ supply chains, from field to table, to identify fraud. Meanwhile, dozens of other food-industry experts recently teamed up with academics from Michigan State University to launch the Food Fraud Initiative (FFI), a group that studies fraudsters—__________, how they avoid safeguards—and then advises food companies on how to keep them away. “There are plenty of __________ out there who are going to wake up and look for some opportunity for fraud,” says John Spink, director of the FFI. “We just need to make ourselves a harder __________.”

【推荐3】The true purpose of a business, Peter Drucker said, is to create and keep customers. "Customer value" has several definitions. I use the ______ to mean the total lifetime value of a company's customer base. Companies can increase this value by ______ more customers, earning more business from existing ones, keeping them longer, making their experience simpler through digital improvements and so on. Visionary leaders have long understood the importance of ______ on customer value rather than pursuing short-term profits or quarterly earnings, and they've become enduring customer loyalty leaders in the process. It's worth noting that a number of loyalty-leading companies are able to ______ shareholder pressure, or avoid it altogether.

Companies can ______ customer value in a variety of ways: To increase ______, software companies sometimes charge corporate customers change fees that can raise the total cost of ownership to as much as three times the original price. To reduce operating costs, restaurant chains sometimes ______ frozen and precooked ingredients in place of fresh and made-to-order food. The resulting profits may look good on the income statement. Such strategies may even lead to short-term earnings growth. But they also ______ potential customers and encourage disloyalty.

Given the importance of customer value, leaders should track it as much as they track other key assets, such as buildings, machinery, and marketable securities. They also should reveal it in their quarterly and annual earnings reports so that investors can make ______ judgments about company performance and how it compares with that of industry peers. But most companies ______ believe that measuring customer value is too difficult or costly. They continue to rely on a centuries-old accounting tradition that emphasizes physical and financial assets, and neither income statements nor balance sheets offer much ______ into the value of a company's customers.

As investors wake up to the importance of customer value, however, many growth-stage companies now direct investors' attention to ______ in growing the value of their customer base. Some public companies increasingly report various types of customer value metrics. One of the UK's top energy suppliers E.ON, ______, reports year-over-year customer counts in its financial report. "As a customer-focused company," E.ON noted, "we see customer value as crucial to our success."

This is a start, but because there are no customer-value reporting standards or requirements, investors still have a(n) ______ picture. The minority of companies that do provide customer value information decide for themselves what to disclose. ______, firms may calculate customer metrics differently or change them to tell a desired story, or simply stop reporting them if they fail to go with the company's preferred narrative.
