Taking a Wrong Turn

The word “overcapacity” has recently gained attention after US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claimed that China has caused “overcapacity” in the new energy sector, including electric vehicles(EVs) and lithium batteries (锂电池).

    1     put, “overcapacity”, in Yellen’s words, refers to producing too many goods, which could lead to global price distortions and affect businesses and workers in other countries. However, this viewpoint is     2     and lacks evidence.

Contrary to concerns about “overcapacity”, global production in the new energy sector is actually at “undercapacity” — production is insufficient to meet demand. Data from the International Energy Agency showed that global demand for new energy vehicles(NEVs)is     3     to reach 45 million units by 2030, 4.5 times the 2022 levels.

The idea that China has     4     new energy products at low prices is also incorrect. Chinese NEVs are sold at higher prices overseas than in China, and despite this, their sales continue to grow rapidly. Even the US magazine The Atlantic admitted, “Chinese electric vehicles are cheap, stylish, and high quality… Instead, the White House is going out of its way to keep Chinese EVs out of the US.”

These observations indicate that the pricing and sales of new energy products are    5       by international market supply and demand, rather than being only affected by the so-called “overcapacity” caused by China.

Moreover, China’s over 60 percent     6     of the global power battery market comes from its focus on technological innovation and high-quality production, not low-cost     7    .

“The purpose of technological innovation has never been to widen global differences,” Zeng Yuqun, founder and CEO of CATL, a leading company in new energy innovative technologies, told 21st Century Business Herald. “For China’s power batteries, technological innovation has     8     progress; green development has sustained growth, and technological     9     is the goal,” Zeng added.

While China focuses on innovation and quality, the US is     10     with a “100-percent Made in America” goal. The Biden administration plans to subsidize (补贴) US businesses and promote the use of domestic materials to achieve this goal.

From the golden-tipped fields of mid-west America to the ancient kingdoms of verdant Palestine, there is a happy truth to be shared with all who would take care. In more recent times, this truth has been     1     as: April showers bring May flowers. This is a truth that promises light bursting from darkness, strength born from weakness and, if one dares to believe, life     2     from death.

Farmers all over the world know importance and immutability(不变) of the seasons. They know there is a season to plant and a season to     3    ; everything must be done in its own time. Although the rain pours down with the utmost relentlessness(无情),     4     all outdoor activities, the man of the field lifts his face to the heavens and smiles. Despite the inconvenience, he knows that the rain provides the     5     substance his crops need to grow and florish. The torrential rains in the month of April, give rise to the     6     flowers in the month of May.

But this ancient truth applies to more than the crops of the fields; it is an invaluable message of hope to all who experience     7     in life. A dashed relationship with one can open up the door to a brand new friendship with another. A lost job here can provide the opportunity for a better job there. A broken dream can become the     8     of a wonderful future. Everything has its place.

Remember this: overwhelming darkness may     9     for a night; yet the radiant light of the morning will never be     10    . When you are in a season of sorrow, hang in there, because a season of joy may be just around the corner.

ChatGPT is an AI model created by OpenAI that can generate text based on given prompts (提示). It has gained global attention for its impressive advantages. One advantage is its     1     to provide quick solutions to tasks     2     by users, which can save users’ time for information gathering.

Citywalk can be a(n)     1     trip tailor-made for a small group of people organized by a travel agency, or simply a leisurely walk for once or two to explore new areas, sticking to the key point: avoiding famous scenic spots and big crowds to gain a more     2     experience of the places you visit.

Did you know that when you visit the zoo and see the chimpanzees (黑猩猩), you are visiting animals related to you?

Humans and chimpanzees have a common     1     that existed millions of years ago. Scientists group us together because we share similar     2    , like hands that can grasp things and brains that are large compared to body size.

Humans     3     chimpanzees in that we walk on our feet, we possess language, and we are much less hairy, for sure! Another big difference between humans and chimpanzees is how long we live. Chimpanzees     4     live past their 40’s. Humans,     5    , can live past our 80’s.

As we humans get older, we can still do many of the things we enjoy, such as taking up our hobbies and playing with our grandchildren, but our activity levels may     6    , and we are also more likely to get sick.

Chimpanzees have shorter lifespans, so many of them miss out on the fun that humans may experience in old age. For example, they have less opportunity to     7     their grandchildren. This may seem sad, but chimpanzees have a different family structure from humans’, so the     8     of grandparents does not affect their lifestyle.

Is it cool that humans can live to such a（n）    9     age? Next time you visit the zoo, think about the differences and similarities between you and your     10     relatives, and how amazing it is that humans can live for such a long time.
