我是研一的学生。大二时背过一部分GRE单词。后来因为各种比赛且没有经受住保研的诱惑就把GRE荒废了。但出国一直是我自本科以来的追求，所以趁现在时间较为充裕又重拾红宝，为了梦想继续奋斗。

我假期参加了新东方的节后寒假班，目前红宝过了超过4遍。但作文只是看完了李建林的GRE写作5.5 ISSUE篇前面的方法介绍。正准备正式着手issue。

平日每天至少4小时准备  周末全天

目标：  AW 4.5+  verbal 600+   quantative 800

我暂不想担任组里职务，但如果需要人手可以帮忙。

希望在奋斗的道路上与大家结伴而行。

COMMENT：

In this report the author asserts that currently the emerging markets, such as China India Brazil, are developing their own distinctive management ideas. The condition now has some commonplace as the America adopted Henry Ford’s production line and Alfred Sloan’s multidivisional firm and swept all before it until the 1960s. Japan invented lean production and almost destroyed the American car and electronics industries.
First of all the author point out the achievement gained by the emerging markets, such as the number of companies from Brazil, India, China or Russia on the Financial Times 500 list more than quadrupled in 2006-08, from 15 to 62. Brazilian top 20 multinationals more than doubled their foreign assets in a single year, 2006 and Multinationals expect about 70% of the world’s growth over the next few years to come from emerging markets, with 40% coming from just two countries, China and India.
Then the author quote the Anil Gupta’s opinion that these markets are among the toughest in the world, The islands of success are surrounded by a sea of problems.
But contrarily, the author point out that the opportunities are equally extraordinary, for example since so many consumers are poor, companies have to go for volume. But because piracy is so commonplace, they also have to keep upgrading their products. Again the similarities with Japan in the 1980s are striking. Toyota and Honda took to “just-in-time” inventories and quality management because land and raw materials were expensive. In the same way emerging-market companies are turning problems into advantages.
At last the author illustrates the potential contribution that can be achieved by the emergent market. The innovation is the impetus of the economy growth, and the popple’s prevailing optimism in emergent market is the insurances of the leapfrogged.

The Rule of Law. By Tom Bingham. Allen Lane; 213 pages; £20. Buy from Amazon.co.uk






TOM BINGHAM holds that what has come to be known as the rule of law is “the nearest we are likely to approach to a universal secular religion”. The key word is “universal”. Nigel Lawson, Margaret Thatcher’s chancellor of the exchequer, once described the National Health Service (NHS) as being similarly important to the British, but as Barack Obama’s attempts to reform America’s health-care system demonstrate, the NHS is not the envy of the world. For most people who live under the rule of law its blessings can be clearer and less ambiguous even than those conferred by liberal democracy or free markets.



Uniquely, Lord Bingham has held all three of Britain’s great judicial offices: Master of the Rolls, Lord Chief Justice and Senior Law Lord until his retirement in 2008. In recent times no British jurist other than Lord Denning has wielded more influence on the development of the law. In this short but important book, Lord Bingham begins by outlining the historical milestones (from the Magna Carta to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948) that have contributed to understanding what is meant by the rule of law and what he believes are eight essential principles that underpin it.



Among these are the accessibility of the law, equality before the law, the right to a fair trial, the legal accountability of servants of the state and so on. Most of Lord Bingham’s eight principles are uncontroversial, although some will feel that, in defining his preference for a “thick” over a “thin” definition of the rule of law, he goes too far by including social injustices, such as a right to education, which he feels “no one living in a free democratic society…should be required to forgo”.



However, it is when he gets to his final point, the requirement that states should regard their obligations under international law as no less forceful than those under national laws, that he really makes his mark. In a cool, but deadly dissection of the assault on the rule of law that was launched by the so-called “war on terror”, Lord Bingham deals first with the question of whether the allied invasion of Iraq was legal. He has no doubt that it was not. He argues persuasively that neither Security Council resolutions 678 nor 1441 could bear the weight that the British government was forced to place on them when confronted by the failure to obtain a further resolution explicitly authorising the use of force. One cannot help feeling that Tony Blair and Lord Goldsmith might have had a hotter time under examination by Lord Bingham than by the Chilcot panel.



His greatest concern is the way in which the threat of terrorism has been used to justify the encroachment on civil liberties. Lord Bingham takes to task governments both in Britain and abroad who subvert the rule of law in the name of security, using Orwellian euphemisms such as control orders (house arrest without trial), extraordinary rendition (kidnapping) and enhanced interrogation techniques (torture). And he quotes Benjamin Franklin with approval: “He who would put security before liberty deserves neither.”



Lord Bingham ends by asking what makes the difference between good and bad government. It is, of course, the rule of law. He concludes: “It remains an ideal, but an ideal worth striving for, in the interests of good government and peace, at home and in the world at large.”








This article introduces a book named THE RULE OF LAW which is wrote by Tom Bingham, who held all three of Britain’s great judicial offices: Master of the Rolls, Lord Chief Justice and Senior Law Lord until his retirement in 2008. In this book the author argues what is meant by the rule of law and the eight essential principles that he believes. Finally he states that states should regard their obligations under international law as no less forceful than those under national laws. For what he greatest concern is the way in which the threat of terrorism has been used to justify the encroachment on civil liberties.
