Paraphrasing (11th paragraph)
Text
Yet despite signs of greater openness among these few leading countries, many others remain stalled at much lower levels of integration, with little indication of imminent change. Thus, there is reason to believe that the countries at the top of the rankings are only running further and further away from the pack.
The main idea of the paragraph
Some countries eagerly embrace changes while others are slow in implementing reforms; consequently, the countries at the top of the rankings are running in integration further and further away from the pack.
有些国家渴望变革，而其他国家在实施改革时行动缓慢，因此，那些位于排名前列的国家在一体化的进程中走在前面，把其他国家越来越抛在后面。
