The President: Let me answer the knowledge economy（经济)question first. And let me answer

The President: Let me answer the knowledge economy(经济)question first. And let me answer by telling you what I have tried to do in the United States. I have tried to produce a situation in America in which the doors of universities and colleges are open to every young person who has sufficient academic achievement(足够的文化程度)to get in, that there are no financial burdens(经济负担)of any kind. And we have not completely achieved it. But have made a great deal of progress.

Now, why would I do that？ Because I believe that the more advanced an economy becomes, the more important it is to have a higher and, higher percentage of people with a university education. Let me tell you how important it is in the United States. We count our people-- every ten years we do a census and we count the number of the American people and we get all kinds of information on them. In the 1990 Census, younger Americans who had a college degree were very likely to get good jobs and have their incomes grow. Younger Americans who didn't go to university at all were likely to get jobs where their incomes went down and were much more likely to be unemployed.

And the more advanced China's economy becomes, the more that will be true of China—the more you will need very large number of people getting university education and technical education.

The answer was probably given by ______.

A．the US President visiting China

B．the Chinese President visiting the United States

C．the US President at an international conference

D．the US President visiting Japan
