　　如今人类常见的一个不足是不说真话。人们必须意识到不说真话、说谎话在过去没有，事实上，将来也永远不会变错误为正确。

　　88. Central planning has ,at least in part, been blamed for the current demise of state-owned enterprises . Perhaps, however, the greatest blame should be placed on factors such as grossly inefficient management ;the rampant practice of" guanxi ",cronyism and nepotism ;excessively large work forces ;abuses of social benefits ;and without a doubt corruption .

　　89. A recent survey revealed large disparities in the income levels of male and female workers holding the same position . The determining factor should be qualifications ,rather than gender ,when determining both the salary and position of an individual .
