leaders meeting in Lima,Peru.Some Western media outlets hold the US isgiving up its global leadership following Donald Trumps election as USpresident on promises to abolish the Trans-Pacific Partnership andwithdraw from the Paris climate deal.They believe a rising superpower,China,will replace the US to lead the world.Trumps campaign remarks do reveal his intention to retract US globalstrategy.He seemingly wants to focus more energy and resources onreviving the US economy and social development.But as the US has beencentral to globalization,Trump is unlikely to take on the traditionalisolationist road.The West likes to use leadershipto define the function of a majorpower.Admittedly,different countries have different powers andobligations due to varied national strength.The world after the Cold Warwas dominated by US leadership.Washington designed and maintained astring of systems,including the world trade system,the financial system,the Internet system,the security pattern and so on.The US has invested much into maintaining this leadership and alsogained considerable benefits.In the foreseeable future,its impossible forthe US to abandon its global leadership.The US sought supremacy over everything in the past few years.However,it didnt have enough national strength to bolster this unrealisticgoal.Trump appears to be redesigning the US leadership,withdrawing thecountry from fields in which he thinks resources are being wasted.Chinathus will gain some room to exert its influence,but is China ready?China still cannot match the US in terms of comprehensive strength.It第3页共5页has no ability to lead the world in an overall way,plus,neither the worldnor China is psychologically ready for it.Its beyond imagination to thinkthat China could replace the US to lead the world.But as China is rapidly developing,bringing about changes to theglobal power structure,its participation in global governance will be anatural and gradual process,which Beijing cannot rush or escape.If Washington withdraws from the Paris climate deal,China can stickto its commitment,yet it wont be able to make up for the loss caused bythe US.Or if the US takes on an anti-free trade path,the messyconsequences will be beyond Chinas ability to repair.But on the other hand,the US,under the leadership of Trump,cannotrope in Chinas neighboring countries to contain China or isolate Chinafrom the world trade system.Obamas administration had worked toundermine China-initiated projects,such as the Asian InfrastructureInvestment Bank and the One Belt and One Roadinitiative,but to noavail.So Sino-US cooperation is the only choice for future globalgovernance.For a long time to come,the leadership of the US will beirreplaceable,meanwhile,Chinas further rise is inevitable.Source Text 2:关于“立冬”你一定要知道的八件事(上)中国传统农历将一年分为24个节气。“立冬”是24节气中的第19个节气，开始于每年十一月7号结束于同月21号。关于“立冬”，你一定要知道的八件事(一)立冬就是入冬？第4页共5页农历的“立冬”并不是气象学上冬季的开始。通常人们认为“立冬”就是入冬，其实两者并不相同。“立冬”在每年的时间相对固定，但是每年的气候条件不同，所以实际入冬的时间就有差异。再加上中国幅员辽阔，各地冬季开始的时间并不一致。(二)古代的迎冬活动二十四节气中的四立，“立春”，“立夏”，“立秋”，“立冬”在农历中都代表着新季节的开始，是中国古代重要的节日。在“立冬”之前，天子会戒斋沐浴，“立冬”这一天亲率群臣出郊，行迎冬之礼。(三)饺子相传在东汉末年，“立冬”前后，很多南阳（位于河南省）的老百姓患上了伤寒，耳朵纷纷被冻伤，“医圣”张仲景知道后巧施妙法帮老百姓治好了伤寒和耳冻。张仲景将羊肉，辣椒以及驱寒提热的药材煮熟，包在耳朵状的面皮中。此后，老百姓也开始模仿制作这种“耳朵状”食物即现在被大家熟知的饺子。直到今天，仍有“立冬不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管”的说法。第5页共5页
