W: Professor Stevenson, as an economist, how do you look upon the surging Chinese economy? Does it constitute a threat to the rest of the world?
M: I believe China's economic success should be seen more as an opportunity than a threat. Those who looked upon it as a threat overlooked the benefit of China's growth to the world's economy. They also lack the understanding of elementary economics.

正确答案：A
解析：被问及对中国高速发展的经济如何看待时，男士说：“我认为中国经济上的成功更应该被看做是一个机会而不是威胁。”换言之，它对世界有益，故A正确。
