56 "Governments should focus more on solving the immediate problems of today
    rather than trying to solve the anticipated problems of the future."
   
    提纲：
    1.不同意。因为错误的将imediate理解为important了
    2.Admittedly，imediate应一般理解为important了。一般的当前的事情应该解决，因为不解决就会有影响后面的的事情，有些后面的事情是以
      前面的事情的解决为前提条件的。不解决后面就不能做，如世界上还有些穷国家，其首要认为是food问题。
      另一个反面的例子就是在中国，70年代，economic没有解决，而进行culture revolution.造成国家混乱，经济近debacle
    3.但长期的并不是就不重要了。一般长期的rewarding 慢，效果显著。
      对一个国家,最直接的是经济发展，社会进步，人民生活好，这是以imediate的，但长期的项目不能忽视，
      如1）教育，算不能立即解决社会问题，但对社会有foundamental的影响。
        2）科研, 受益可能需要很长时间，但其作用是革命性的，例子现在的IT，给许多领域带来了革命。
      
       而且，长期项目较之imediate项目风险一般要大一些。但因为潜在的效果使大家都愿意投资长期项目。(没来得及写)
    4. 一个国家就象一个公司一样，总做短期投资，稳定，但利润少，长期的投资，有奉献，但回报高。(没来得及写)
    5.SUM，决策者要strike a banlanc between 长期和短期，最大限度的服务于社会和人民。

I strongly disagree with the assertion that governments should focus more on solveing the imediate problems of today rather than trying to slve the anicipated problems of futures. Regarding the term 'imediate' to 'important' is simply wrongheaded.

Admittedly, the imediate problems are usually the important ones, which always serve as the prerequisite for the other problems. Withot dealing with these imediate problems well, it is highly unlikely we can have chance to solve the other problem. The typical example coming imediately into mind is what happened in China nearly forty years ago. In 70th when the majority Chinese people were still struggling with poverty and starve the leader lunched an activity throughout the nation called culture revolution, calling people stoping production and go to streets and take part in the activities. The wrong desision which ignore the imediate problem of China is economic develop lead to the great loss in economy and human life,  and throw China near the edge of  debacle of economy and other pulic affairs. Until 1978, The Chinese leader realize which is the most important and imediate problem is to economy development and implement the open up and reform policy which help China make great achivement in economy and other area. The lesson told us how important it is to solve the imediate problem well, only by doing this, can the other things have chance to be considered.

However, the assertion that  imediate problem are important does not deny the importance of some anticipated problems. To some degree, the anticipated problems serve as even critical function in a long term. For a country, the imediate problems are to develop the economy and guarantee the good living condition for the people, which are the basic requirement of people and of nation as a whole. Some long term problem such as education, scientific research, are attached more importance by the government because their potential benefits. For instance, scientific research cannot produce any product imediately to benefit our life, but great revolution it bring to our life which make our more convinient is far beyond our imagination.  Consider what the world looks like before the imergence of computers, and try to consider what our current life will be like without computers. Then let's turn to the function of education, the same as scientific research,which also cannot provide us any tangible production, but the significance influence on nation's development is obvious. Without the support of education, we cannot have sufficent skilled labour forces as well as leaders, all the workers required for the daily operation of the big society.

In sum, it is far from an easy task to draw a line between imediate problems and anticipated problems if we observe the world dynimiclly. The anticipted problems can transformed to imediate in the future, thus it is highly important for us to strike a balance between imediate problems and anticipated problems to benefit the people and nation at best.

Without dealing with these immediate problems well, it is highly unlikely we can have chance to solve the other problem. The typical example coming immediately into mind is what happened in China nearly forty years ago. The top leader, in 70th when the majority Chinese people were still struggling with poverty and starve, lunched an activity throughout the nation called culture revolution, calling people stopping production and going to streets and take part in the activities. The wrong decision which ignore the immediate and urgent problem of China is economic develop lead to a great loss in economy and human life,  and throw China near the edge of debacle of economy and other public affairs. Until 1978, The Chinese leader realized which the most critical and immediate problem is to economy development and implemented the open up and reform policy which help China make great achievement in economy and other area.

Without the support of education, we cannot have sufficient skilled labor forces as well as leaders, all the workers required for the daily operation of the big society.

In sum, it is far from an easy task to draw a line between immediate problems and anticipated problems if we observe the world in a dynamic way. The anticipated problems can transformed to immediate in the future, thus it is highly important for us to strike a balance between immediate problems and anticipated problems to benefit the people and nation at best.
