中国的发展潜力仍然很大 蒋继平 2015 年 5 月 6 日 经过三十多年的快速发展， 中国经济已经取得了非常明显的提升， 经济总量已经成为世界第二。 最近好像有一些经济发展放慢的迹象， 人们担心中国的经济发展可能会变得不如人意， 甚至停泄不前。 我对这种担心不以为然，我认为中国的经济发展仍然具有巨大的潜力。 现在让我用一个实例来做一个简单的比较和分析， 让大家看看是不是有道理。 因为我的前半生是在中国江苏长大的， 现在生活在美国的 Florida 州。 我就拿这两个省和州来作一个具体的比较。 这个比较只采用三个关键数据，即面积， 人口和机场数量。 为什么用机场来做比较呢？ 我的逻辑是： 机场是现代化的最鲜明标记之一， 它体现了当代的高科技的具体应用。 根据维基百科的信息， 江苏省拥有 10万2千658 平方公里的面积， 人口是7950万左右。 百度百科的资料显示： 在江苏境内，共分布有 9大机场，分别是 南京禄口国际机场 （1997年通航）、 无锡 苏南硕放国际机场 （ 1986年通航、2004年复航）、 常州奔牛国际机场 （1986年通航）、 徐州观音国际机场 （1997年通航）、 连云港白塔埠机场 （1984年通航）、 南通兴东机场 （1993年通航）、 盐城南洋机场 （2000年通航）、 淮安涟水机场 （2010年通航）和 扬州泰州机场 （2012年通航），其中无锡、常州、连云港、盐城机场为军民合用机场 . 也是维基百科(Wikipedia)的信息： Florida 的面积是17万304 平方公里， 人口是1千9百89万3297。 Florida 拥有20 个主要民航机场，22个辅助民航机场（县级机场）， 56个普通小型机场， 29个其他公用机场， 24 个政府和军用机场，11个私人机场。 从上面的数据可以看出， 拥有将近八千万人口的江苏只有 9个机场， 而不到两千万人口的Florida却拥有一百多个机场。 这个差距也太明显了吧。 所以， 我觉得中国要赶上美国的发展水平， 还有很大的潜力。 为了使我的文章有根有据， 我将维基百科的数据如实拷贝如下， 供大家自己查对。 Table 1.

NEW YORK TIMES Florida governor vetoes teacher merit pay bill By Trip Gabriel and Damien Cave New York Times POSTED: 01:30 a.m. HST, Apr 16, 2010 Share 0 Comments (Single Page View) | Return to Paginated View MIAMI Gov. Charlie Crist has been jawboned and buttonholed as he has traveled around the state in recent days, and his office was deluged with 120,000 messages. Passions have not run so high in Florida, the governor said, since the controversy over ending the life of Terry Schiavo in 2005. This time, the point of contention was eliminating tenure for Florida public school teachers and tying their pay and job security to how well their students were learning. On Thursday, Crist picked a side, vetoing a bill passed last week by the Florida Legislature that would have introduced the most sweeping teacher pay changes in the nation. The veto puts Crist, a moderate Republican, at odds with his party base in the Republican-controlled Legislature. His decision has also renewed speculation that he might drop out of the Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat and run in the general election as an independent. For months he has been trailing the more conservative Republican candidate, Marco Rubio, a Tea Party favorite, in polls. Crist said Thursday that his decision was not political. He cited the incredible outpouring of opposition by teachers, parents, students, superintendents, school boards and legislators. The bill was supported by the Florida Department of Education and statewide business groups, which expressed disappointment in the governor's decision, saying that teachers should be held more accountable. But the governor, announcing his veto in the Capitol in Tallahassee, said the changes envisioned would put teachers in jeopardy of losing their jobs and teaching certificates, without a clear understanding of how gains will be measured. Linking teacher pay to student achievement has long been a goal of some education reformers. They are mostly conservatives, but their ranks also include people in the Obama administration. They argue that teachers should be treated like people in most professions, and paid based on how effective they are. The issue has made for a season of strange bedfellows, with the Obama administration's chief education initiative, Race to the Top, seemingly encouraging just the kind of overhaul that Florida Republicans endorsed and that teachers and their allies furiously opposed. Race to the Top dangles $4.3 billion in grants before states that develop programs that promote teacher accountability and parental choice in schooling. In the first round of grant awards last month, Florida did not win but came close, and the merit pay bill was promoted as a way to improve the state's chances of winning $700 million in aid. Analysts said the state had the most ground to gain specifically in this area for the federal contest. The vetoed bill is consistent with what Race to the Top wants, said Andy Smarick, an education policy analyst who was an official in the U.S. Education Department under President George W. Bush. Reformers have tried to draft policies that allow student-achievement data to be used to reward good teachers and identify poor ones. When Florida proposed strict accountability measures, teachers, parents and administrators pushed back. They argued that the proposed systembasing renewal of teacher contracts and at least half their raises on how well students did on standardized testswould hold them responsible for factors in students' lives beyond their control. I am not a puppet master; I can't pull strings and make them perform, said Amy Horr, a second-grade teacher in the Miami-Dade School District who attended a rally Monday. I can't even make them come to school. The president of the state teachers union, Andy Ford, argued that the pressure on children will be immense when the teachers' salary evaluation, contract and certification are all tied to that score. Teachers coordinated a huge phone and e-mail campaign to lobby the governor, in part through a 70,000-member Facebook group. Reactions on the site moments after the noontime veto were ecstatic: Sweet victory! and Woohoo!!! I love you Charlie Crist ... For now!!! Republican leaders of the Legislature, who said they did not have time to resubmit a new bill before the end of the current session, criticized the governor. Former Gov. Jeb Bush, who backed the bill, said in a statement that Governor Crist has jeopardized the ability of Florida to build on the progress of the last decade, during which Republicans ushered in other controversial changes that they say are responsible for rising student achievement statewide. It is unclear what Crist's veto will mean for him politically. Even some Tea Party followers had turned to opposing the pay and tenure overhauls because of the increased bureaucracy. A Quinnipiac poll published Thursday showed that if Christ ran as an independent candidate in the Senate contest, he would finish narrowly ahead of Rubio and Kendrick Meek, the Democratic candidate. Repeatedly, Crist has said he would not run as an independent. With an April 30 deadline for switching parties, some political analysts said his veto could be a final push to close the gap with Rubio. He's betting on the fact that the Republican legislators themselves have been catching some heat for this, said Susan A. MacManus, a political science professor at the University of South Florida, referring to the merit-pay bill. He'll wait and see if this moves the polls within the Republican ranks; he still has time to make a decision. A few hours after his veto, Crist attended a rally in his honor on the steps of Leon High School in Tallahassee, which was draped with a big sign saying, Thank You, Governor Crist. The people spoke, and they spoke loudly, and boy, did I hear from them this week, the governor told the crowd of teachers, students and administrators. Manny Joanos, energy director for Leon County schools and a Republican, said that he had been leaning toward Rubio in the Republican primary, but that Crist had changed his mind. I'll be voting for the governor, he said. Crist again declined to say whether he would remain a Republican. That's the last thing on my mind right now, he said.
