2003年以来,我国开始实施振兴东北老工业基地战略,东北地区经济迅速增长。到2005年底,东北三省黑龙江、吉林、辽宁GDP之和突破1.7万亿元,达到17130亿元,同比增长11.3%,占全国GDP的比重上升到8.7%。其中,黑龙江省GDP为5510亿元,吉林GDP为3615亿元,辽宁GDP为8005亿元。投资仍然是引领东北经济快速增长的主要原因。2005年东北三省全社会固定资产投资总额达到7800亿元,同比增长39.3%,远远高于其他经济区域。其中黑龙江省固定资产投资1794亿元,比上年增长25.4%;吉林省固定资产投资1802亿元,比上年增长 53.8%;辽宁省固定资产投资4204亿元,比上年增长40.1%。随着经济的迅速增长,东北三省居民的人均收入水平有所提高。2005年黑、吉、辽三省城镇人均可支配收入分别是8273元、8691元和9108元,农民人均纯收入分别为3221元、3246元和3690元;尽管“十五”期间东北地区经济有较大的进步,但仍存在着一些问题。例如,农业科技创新能力不足,农产品进出口额过低。据报道,作为我国重要的粮食生产基地,2005年东北三省农产品出口额仅为41.6亿美元,占全国比重为15.1%,农产品进口总额19.6亿美元,占全国6.8%,均远低于山东省一省的相同指标。此外,在工业上,东北地区国有经济在社会总资本中比重过高。据统计,2005年东北三省规模以上工业企业完成的增加值中,国有及国有控股企业比重占到68%,其中最高的黑龙江省占到了 85.77%。

2005年全国农产品净出口额约为( )。

A.12.7亿美元

B.-12.7亿美元

C.6.4亿美元

D.-6.4亿美元

单项选择题

LAST month, America’s National Law Journal told its readers that "employment lawyers are warning lovestruck co-workers to take precautions in the office before locking lips outside". The advice came too late for Harry Stonecipher. The boss of Boeing was forced to resign last weekend—for reasons that will strike many outsiders as absurd—after his board were told of an affair that the 68-year-old married man had been conducting with a female employee "who did not report directly to him".

Inevitably, as the week rolled on, details of the affair rolled out. The other party was reported to be Debra Peabody, who is unmarried and has worked for Boeing for 25 years. The couple were said to have first got together at Boeing’s annual retreat at Palm Desert, California in January. After that much of the affair must have been conducted from a distance: Mr. Stonecipher’s office is at Boeing’s headquarters in Chicago; Ms Peabody runs the firm’s government-relations office in Washington, DC. They exchanged e-mails, it seems, as office lovers tend to do these days, and therein probably lay Mr Stonecipher’s downfall.

Lewis Platt, Boeing’s chairman, said that Mr Stonecipher broke a company rule that says: "Employees will not engage in conduct or activity that may raise questions as to the company’s honesty, impartiality, reputation or otherwise cause embarrassment to the company." Having an affair with a fellow employee is not, of itself, against company rules; causing embarrassment to Boeing is. It seems that the board judged that the contents of the lovers’ e-mails would have been bad for Boeing had they been made public. Gone are the days when a board considered such matters none of its business, as Citibank’s did in 1991 when its boss, John Reed, became the talk of Wall Street for having an affair with a stewardess on Citi’s corporate jet.

At Boeing, a whistleblower is said to have forwarded the messages to Mr Platt. In general, e-mails are encrypted and not accessible to anyone who does not know the sender’s password. But many firms install software designed to search electronic communications for key words such as, "sex" and "CEO". A study last year of 840 American firms by the American Management Association found that 60% of them check external e-mails (incoming and outgoing), while 27% scrutinize internal messages between employees. Sweet nothings whispered by the water cooler may travel less far these days than electronic billets doux.

Boeing is particularly sensitive to embarrassment at the moment. Mr. Stonecipher was recalled from retirement only 15 months ago, after the company’s previous boss, Phil Condit, and its chief financial officer, Michael Sears, had left in the wake of a scandal involving an illegal job offer to a Pentagon official.

Mr Stonecipher, a crusty former number two at Boeing, was brought back specifically to raise the company’s ethical standards and to help it be seen in its main (and affectedly puritanical) market, in Washington, DC, as squeaky clean. Verbally explicit extra-marital affairs are inconsistent with such a strategy, it seems, though they are not yet enough to bring down future kings of England.

In corporate life, such affairs are hardly unusual. One survey found that one-quarter of all long-term relationships start at work; another found that over 40% of executives say they have been involved in an affair with a colleague, and that in half of these cases one or other party was married at the time. Many a boss has married his assistant and lived happily ever after. Boeing apparently used to accept this: Mr. Condit’s fourth wife was a colleague before they married.

The word "whistleblower" (line 1, paragraph 4) most probably refers to a person who()

A. likes finding secret affairs

B. discloses secrets to others

C. blows the whistle as a job

D. forward messages for people
