标题:An American purchase of Greenland could be the deal of the century

The economics of buying new territory

正文：Although America has a history of taking a commercial approach to international relations, purchases are rarely made without controversy. When Thomas Jefferson bought Louisiana in 1803, doubling the size of the country, he had to set aside his zest for constitutional constructivism, which would have ruled out such bold federal action. Sixty-four years later, when William Seward, then secretary of state, purchased Alaska from Russia for $7.2m ($162m today), the move was dubbed “Seward’s folly”. Now the Alaska deal is seen as a masterstroke and the Louisiana purchase the greatest achievement of one of America’s greatest presidents. In hindsight, both look extraordinarily good value.

知识点：approach n. /əˈproʊtʃ/

a way of dealing with sb/sth; a way of doing or thinking about sth such as a problem or a task（待⼈接物或思考问题的）⽅式，⽅法，态度

• The school has decided to adopt a different approach to discipline.学校决定采取另外⼀种⽅式解决纪律问题。

• She took the wrong approach in her dealings with them.她⽤错误的⼿段和他们打交道。

正文：On his first day back in office, President-elect Donald Trump is planning to go big on executive orders and other actions, including ones that aim to roll back some of his predecessor’s policies. It’ll be similar to how President Joe Biden rolled out a raft of orders on the day of his inauguration four years ago and targeted a number of Trump 1.0 initiatives.

标题:Drugs, Scams and Sin: Myanmar’s War Has Made It the Global Crime Capital

正文：The flower fields stretch out from the mountain village along most every road — fluttering patchworks of white and pink and purple. The beauty in this corner of Shan State, in northeastern Myanmar, might seem a respite from the country’s brutal civil war. Instead the blooms are a symptom: It is all opium poppy in these fields, and Myanmar again ranks as the world’s biggest exporter of the raw material to make heroin and other opiates. And that’s just the beginning.

知识点：stretch v./stretʃ/

标题:Justin Trudeau’s reluctant departure will leave his Liberal party in freefall

正文：Justin Trudeau’s decision to resign as prime minister has jolted his ailing Liberal party, kicking off a leadership race that could determine the future – or the demise – of Canada’s “natural governing party”. On a frigid Monday morning, Trudeau said that while “every bone in my body tells me to fight”, a procedural standstill in parliament, as well as his dismal polling numbers, meant there was no path forward to contest a fourth term as leader. His decision to step away from a job he has held for nearly a decade comes as the party’s political fortunes are in freefall, suffering the loss of key political strongholds in recent byelections and the abdication of prominent cabinet ministers.

知识点：jolt v. /dʒəʊlt/

标题:Capitalism Killed Squid Game

正文：In an early episode of Squid Game 2, the series’ working-class hero Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is summoned to a dance club on Halloween night. Weaving among revelers dressed as sexy nurses, cops, and skeletons, he eventually spots the masked figure he’s been pursuing, clad in the hot-pink tracksuit of a Squid Game guard. The scene may well be a nod on the part of creator Hwang Dong-hyuk to the ubiquity of Squid Game Halloween costumes in 2021, when the holiday fell roughly six weeks after Netflix’s Korean megahit debuted and quickly became the platform’s most-watched series of all time.

标题:Events to Shake, or Gently Rattle, the World in 2025

正文：We approach an interesting juncture in 2025: the end of the first quarter of the 21st century. The first 25 years of any century feel a bit foundational. Consider the first 25 years of the 1900s: Orville and Wilbur Wright’s flight in Kitty Hawk, N.C., in 1903 ushered in the golden age of air travel. In 1917, the Bolsheviks stormed the Winter Palace, the seat of the czarist government in St. Petersburg, paving the way for Russia to enter the Soviet era. Just two years later, in 1919, the Treaty of Versailles redrew Europe, precipitating Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and, ultimately, World War II.

知识点：juncture n. /ˈdʒʌŋktʃə(r)/
