1、 A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check tho who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raid by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime,The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without arch engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging consumers high prices, many of the rvices are free (urs pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.
But there is cau for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-prent and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially ud the data c
ollected from urs to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new rvices: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less uful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themlves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the
21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally ud size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data asts(嘴皮干是什么原因引起的资产打不开怎么办) when asssing the impact of deals. The purcha price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-borm threat. When this takes place,especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators s
hould rai red flags.
The cond principle is to loon the control that providers of on-line rvices have over data and give more to tho who supply them.Companies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it.Govemments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with urs' connt.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don't wants a data oconomy by a few giants, they must act soon.

2 、 El Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to ven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio es warm water, collected over veral years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.
The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños, on balance, than they lo. A study found that a strong Niño in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly becau of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total ri in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.
But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming wor. Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cau surface flooding and other disasters.
The most recent powerful Niño, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caud

According to the Overas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.
Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of dia. Better wers (天秤座的男明星下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the dia of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Niño's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that tho disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their loss from disasters linked to El Niño, reducing their loss needs to be the prio
