One possible version：

Knowledge economy was still something unheard of just a decade a90.But today it has become a household word and is on everybody’s lips.Knowledge economy is not only a concept now，but will be a reality in near future.At the turn of the century，a new knowledge economy age is approaching us.

In the l980s，when people talked about the Third Wave and the post-in-dustrial society，knowledge economy remained a concept yet to be crystal-lized.However，in the l990s，with knowledge playing an increasingly vital role in every sphere imaginable of our economic life，a knowledge—based economy is gradually taking shape.Simply stated，knowledge economy is a kind of economic system based on the production，storage，distribution and consumption of knowledge and information products，Knowledge economy is knowledge—intensive，energy—saving as well as environment-friendly.In the knowledge economy era，economic development relies heavily on science and technology.For example，the information industry in the US has already ac— counted for l0%of its gross domestic product and is expected to enjoy a further increase in the years to come.

This imminent knowledge economy age presents both vast opportunities and immense challenges to every nation.Worldwide competition in knowledge and information，science and technology，inventions and patents，natural and human resources will become even more fierce.As the saying goes，“Knowledge is power”，and so the gap between countries，in the final analysis，is the gap of knowledge.To meet these challenges posed by knowledge economy，our country should raise the overall quality of her labor force and cultivate more and more specialized personnel.
