阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。

　　Parties held by the wealthy seldom welcome poor guests. But last week China made it through the doors into a gathering of the world's richest countries.

　　Jim Renqing, China's finance minister, and Zhou Xiaochuan, governor of the People's Bank of China, joined a meeting of the Group of Seven (G7) on October 1,2004. It is the first time that China has had direct talks with the club. It was a good chance to share the world powers' thoughts about critical economic issues and promote understanding.

　　China's participation is a natural part of its increasingly important role in the global economy. China is the world's factory and the biggest market.

　　America and China made up almost half of global economic growth last year.“If American consumers and Chinese producers were to reduce their activities at the same time, global growth would drop greatly,”said the Economist, a leading British economics magazine.

　　Up to now Chinese economic stability has been closely related to world development.“The increasingly connected global economy means that China should be a part of the meeting.”said Stephen Roach, a world famous economist.

　　During the meeting, China represented developing countries. It called on the world's developed nations to increase their spending on aid to poorer countries. Jin said that overall official help form developed countries is only 0.23 percent of their Gross Domestic Product (国内生产总值), much lower than the 0.7 per cent UN target. And this should be changed.

答案：B;B;A;A
