U.S. and China Poised to Drift Further Apart After Investment Ban
By Charles Hutzler
An executive order President Biden issued Wednesday—while narrowly targeted at critical leading-edge technologies with military, surveillance and cyber capabilities—more broadly aims to reorder the flow of American capital and expertise away from its biggest global rival.
In doing so, White House officials said, the order intends to deny China the know-how, market access and other benefits U.S. venture-capital and private-equity firms bring with their investments.
Wednesday's order lands in the middle of a fragile nursing of relations by Washington and Beijing after months of bruising tensions. In the short term, officials and security specialists said, the tentative diplomatic progress of recent months is likely to hold.
Longer term, however, the U.S. and China are locked in rivalry.
"That talk of diversification, de-risking, decoupling, disentangling—choose your 'D-word,' whichever one you like—it's really baked into the minds in Washington, increasingly in Silicon Valley, and this is really being beamed right at Wall Street," said Liza Tobin, a former National Security Council official.
Venture-capital firms, which once poured into China energetically, have already pulled back responding in part to sharpening tensions; U.S. investment in Chinese startups fell by more than 30% from 2021 to 2022 and is on pace to fall further this year, according to Crunchbase data.

For lots of kids, toddlerhood (幼儿期) is an important time for friendship. Studies show that the earlier kids learn to form positive relationships, the better they are at relating to others as teenagers and adults. Playing together also helps these kids practice social behaviors, such as kindness, sharing, and cooperation.
Even so, how quickly your child develops into a social creature may also depend on his temperament(性格). Some toddler s are very social, but others are shy. In addition, the way that toddlers demonstrate that they like other children is markedly different from what adults think of as expressions of friendship. Research at Ohio State University in Columbus found that a toddler’s way of saying “I like you” during play is likely to come in the form of copying a friend’s behavior.
This seemingly unusual way of demonstrating fondness can result in unpleasant behavior. Regardless of how much they like a playmate, they may still grab his toys, refuse to share, and get bossy. But experts say that this is a normal and necessary part of friendship for kids this age. Through play experiences, toddlers learn social rules. That’s why it’s so important to take an active role in your toddler’s social encounters by setting limits and offering frequent reminders of what they are. When you establish these guidelines, explain the reasons behind them.
Begin by helping your child learn sympathy (“Ben is crying. What’s making him so sad ”), then suggest how he could resolve the problem (“Maybe he would feel better if you let him play the ball.”). When your child shares or shows empathy(同理心) toward a friend, praise him (“Ben stopped crying! You made him feel better.”).
Another way to encourage healthy social interaction is by encouraging kids to use words- not fists-to express how they feel. It’s also important to be mindful of how your child’s personality affects playtime. Kids are easy to get angry when they’re sleepy or hungry, so schedule playtime when they’re refreshed.
31.What does it indicate when toddlers copy their playmates’ behavior
A.They are interested in acting. B.They are shy with the strangers.
C.They are fond of their playmates. D.They are tired of playing games.
32.What does the author suggest parents do for their kids
A.Design games for them. B.Find them suitable playmates.
C.Play together with them. D.Help them understand social rules.
33.What is the function of the quoted statements in paragraph 4
A.Giving examples. B.Explaining concepts.
C.Providing evidence. D.Making comparisons.
34.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A.How Children Adapt to Changes B.How to Be a Role Model for Children
C.How Your Baby Learns to Love D.How to Communicate with Your Kid

投资禁令发布,中美或将渐行渐远
美国总统拜登于周三发布了一项行政命令,虽然看似仅针对具有军事,监控和网络功能的关键性前沿技术,实则影响范围更广,意在重置美国资本和专业技术的流向,使其远离美国最大的全球竞争对手。
白宫官员表示,此举目的在于,使中国无法获得技术诀窍、市场准入以及美国风险投资和私募股权公司投资带来的其他好处。
周三这项行政令的签署,时值中美双方艰难推进关系缓和之际。此前曾有数月时间,中美关系十分紧张。政府官员和安全专家说,短期之内,双方可能会维持最近几个月取得的初步外交进展。
然而,从更长远来看,中美陷入龙争虎斗之中。
“多元化,去风险,脱钩,分离———反正‘字母D打头的词’,你喜欢哪个就用哪个——这类言论已在华盛顿深入人心,在硅谷也愈加盛行,而且确实也在向华尔街传播。” 前美国国家安全委员会官员丽莎·托宾(Lisa Tobin)如是说。
美国风投公司曾大举涌入中国,但一定程度上受两国紧张关系加剧的影响,已纷纷撤出中国。根据Crunchbase的数据,2021至2022年间,美国对中国初创企业的投资下降了超过30%,而且今年很可能进一步下降。
