129. A center for business research or for research in agriculture?
China is currently one of the fastest growing economies in the world. A new research center, whether business or agriculturally based, would be beneficial for both our country and the rest of the world. When considering if it would be more valuable to build a business center or an agricultural center, one must realize that both fields of research work hand in hand with each other to develop and expand a country's economy. In a bustling economy like China's, either research center would have great value.
There is no doubt that a country's economy is strongly influenced by its ability to not only feed its own people, but also to export agricultural products to other countries. In this sense, an agricultural research center would help further development in China's sustainability and further the country on a global scale. An agricultural research center would also be a great idea in China, as our country already has excellent agricultural techniques. By having this type of research center in China, the world's knowledge on this important field would grow exponentially. Agriculture also has the ability to employ a large percentage of the population, and through agricultural research, these people's efforts could be used in a more efficient manner.
A business research center would also be an excellent idea in China. As China becomes more and more prone to the power of globalization, a business research center would allow China to not only keep up with the business-minded West, but also, this type of center could possibly allow our country to surpass the West in new business ideas. China has the largest population in the world, and therefore, the business industry is bound to grow at an alarmingly fast rate.
In conclusion, I believe that either of these centers would be beneficial to our country. Perhaps the best solution would be to raise funds for both of the centers, and allow the two centers to work together to build a better China.

129. 商业研究中心还是农业研究中心？
中国现在是世界上经济发展最快的国家之一。一个新的研究中心，不管是以商业还是以农业为基础，不仅会给我们的国家带来好处，也将有益于世界上其他国家。人们在考虑是建立一个商业中心还是一个农业中心更有价值的时候，必须意识到，两个研究领域是共同发挥作用来促进和发展一个国家经济的。对于一个像中国经济这样的活跃经济，任何一种研究中心都会存在着巨大的价值。
毋庸质疑，一个国家除了要满足自身人民的温饱之外还要向其他国家出口农产品。这种能力会在很大程度上影响该国的经济。从这种意义上来说，一个农业研究中心将帮助推动中国的可持续发展，并促进国家在全球范围的发展。我们国家已经拥有先进的农业技术，所以一个农业研究中心对于中国会是一个很好的想法。通过在中国建立这种研究中心，全世界关于这一重要领域的知识了解将会越来越多。农业还可以给很大一部分人口提供就业机会，并且通过农业研究，这些人的辛勤劳动可以获得更加有效的利用。
在中国建立一个商业研究中心也会是一个很好的想法。随着中国越来越多地受到全球化的影响，一个商业研究中心不仅能让中国赶上有商业头脑的西方人，而且这种中心还可能使得我们国家在新的商业观念上超越西方。中国拥有世界上最多的人口，因此，商业必定会以快得惊人的速度增长。
总之，我认为建立两种中心的任何一种对我们国家来说都会是有益的。也许最好的解决办法是筹资修建这两种中心，从而让两个中心共同作用来建设一个更加美好的中国。
