问题                     Microchip Research Center Created
    A research center has been【C1】______in this Far Eastern country to develop advanced microchip production technology. The center, which will start out with about US $14 million, will help the country develop its chip industry without always depending on imported technology.
    The center will make use of its research skills and【C2】______to develop new technology for
【C3】______chip plants. The advent of the center will possibly free the country from the【C4】______ that it is always buying almost-outdated technologies from other countries, said the country’ s flagship chipmaker. 【C5】______, chip plants in this country are in a passive situation because many foreign governments don’t allow them to【C6】______the most advanced technologies, fearing they will be used for【C7】______ purposes. Moreover, the high licensing fees they have to pay to technology providers are also an important【C8】______for their decision of self-reliance.
    As mainstream chip production technology【C9】______from one generation to the next every three to five years, plants with new technology can make more powerful chips at lower costs, while plants with 【C10】______equipment, which often cost billions of dollars to build, will be【C11】______by the maker.
    More than 10 chip plants are being built, each costing millions of US dollars. The majority of that money goes to overseas equipment【C12】______and technology owners—mainly【C13】______Japan and Singapore.
    Should the new center play a major role in improving the situation in the industry, the country admits the US $14 million investment is still rather small. This country is developing【C14】______technologies. Most of the investment will be spent on setting【C15】______with technology and intellectual property owners.
