Stock markets around the globe have been tumbling since S & P's downgraded the US credit rating for the first time in seventy years.
It's predicted the downgrade would result in a massive sell-off of US dollars, as investors fret over the risks of another US recession. If so, it could be bad news for China, the largest US foreign creditor.
Seventy percent of China's foreign reserves are denominated in US dollars, including 1.5 trillion dollars in US Treasuries and another 700 million dollars of other assets. China is facing ever-increasing pressure to maintain the value of these reserves.
But a greater part of concerns comes amid a possible negative impact on China's inflation data.
According to a report by J. P Morgan, financing costs will increase by 100 billion US dollars every year in America. Demands for another round of quantitative easing policy by the Federal Reserve are now on the rise.
At the same time, it is feared that capital flowing out of the stock markets will enter commodity markets. It will drive up prices of bulk materials such as crude oil and iron ore in the long run if the dollar continues to fall. They could become another major obstacle for the Chinese economy.

一、背景介绍英语口语能力的提高是一个长期而艰苦的过程，不仅需要学习，更需要练习。和听力与阅读不同，口语和写作都需要输出。但是如果只是不断地做输出练习，对于口语的提升也是有限的。因为，没有了输入的支撑，那么，反复的输出最终导致的结果就是很熟练的给出一些不地道甚至错误的表达，也就是将错误强化了。因此，口语水平从根本上的提升还需要大量的阅读和听力作为...
