最近几年美国并不平静。美国非但没有松一口气，享受一下“胜利果实”，反而面临到比过去更加难以处理的问题。不错美国比过去任何时期富足得多，强大得多。不过美国伴随着繁荣而来的是十分紧张和分裂的状态;要美国这样一个长久以来以不受旧世界纷争与联盟牵连而自傲的国家去领导世界，可不是件容易的事。
译文：
The last few years have not been tranquil in the United States.Far from being able to relax and enjoy “the fruits of victory”，America faced more serious and more intractable problems than ever before in her history.True，she was also richer and more powerful than ever before.But the prosperity was accompanied by acute tensions and divisions;and world leadership did not come easily to a nation that had so long prided itself on being exempt from the conflicts and alliances of the Old World.

译文：
According to the article， SARS fundamentally changed the way in which the Chinese people exchange information. Telecommunication， especially mobile telecommunication got quite considerable returns， which will further stimulate the need from the public for the public information. A promising market thus came into being. SARS also affected people in a subconsciously way. When calling some good friends in my school life， I was urged again and again by them to give priority to my health， and take great caution against SARS. The relationship between family members and friends changed too for SARS， an unexpected attack to human being. it also shows that people， isolated physically because of SARS， came to learn that everyone depend on others in such a global village ever narrowed by aviation and telecommunication. For a moment， people leave aside their difference in status.
