The 2018 Global Cities Index
The Global Cities Index is a list of the world's most powerful and important cities. Here are the top 10 cities on the 2018 index. Some top cities are strong in five areas.
Future Leaders
Which cities will become more powerful in the future? Creators of the Global Cities Index predict the most growth in the following places:
Asia: Beijing and Shanghai are both business centers and will continue to grow. In a few years, they will be as powerful as New York. Some Indian cities have a lot of business potential(潜力), too.
South America: Some cities in Brazil and Colombia will become more powerful. In these cities, life for many people is improving.
The Middle East: Istanbul in Turkey, Cairo in Egypt, etc. will hold more power in international politics and business—especially in helping East and West work together.
In 10 years, the top cities on the index may be different, but one thing is certain: tomorrow's global cities will be more powerful than ever.
Do you like sports? If your answer is yes, sometimes you'll find it very difficult to have enough time to do it, even on weekends. However, you don't have to worry about it because of Sunshine Sports Program. It was launched (启动) by the Ministry of Education (教育部). It suggests that students around the country should have an hour of sports every day. Students will be able to do any sport they like. The program is to make students happy and keep them healthy. Han Jiawen, from Shanghai Yangsi Middle School, likes the idea. Han and her classmates skip ropes (跳绳) together. "We have a good time," Han said, "Playing is better than having classes." Wang Lichao welcomes the idea, too. "It's good to be able to breathe some fresh air instead of sitting in the classroom." But the 14-year-old student from Tianjin wonders whether there will be enough space for everyone. "With so many students outside," he said. "I'm afraid there won't be enough standing room on the playground." Wu Jiatong's school is in Liaoning. Her favorite sport is running. Wu and other students like running for 40 minutes every morning. "It's tiring," Wu said. "But we do feel healthier. We hope we can do what we want." What about your school? There must be more sports that interest you and your classmates. |
" How are you?" is a friendly greeting. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks" How are you?" expec's to hear the answer "Finè" even if the person isn't fine. The reason is that " How are you?" isn't really a question and " Fine" isn't really an answer. They are common ways of saying " hello" or" hi".
Sometimes, people don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks " Do you agree?", the other person may be thinking " No, I don't." It isn't polite to disagree strongly, so he might say," I'm not so sure." {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking to other people. For example, many conversations over the phone end when one person says," I've got to go now," or the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse such as " Someone is at the door." {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say so. An excuse doesn't hurt the other person's feelings.
Whether they are greeting each other or ending a conversation, people often don't say exactly what they are thinking. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
A. The excuse may be real, or not. B. If you disagree with others, they will hate you. C. However, " How are you?" is also an unusual question. D. This is a nice way to say that you don't agree with someone. E This is one way of being nice to people, and it's a part of the game of language. |
According to the text, what might a person say when he/ she disagrees with someone?(10个词以内) {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
