Passage 2International trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries. It gives consumers and countries the opportunity to be exposed to goods and services not available in their own countries. Almost every kind of product can be found on the international market：food, clothes, spare parts, oil, jewelry, wine, stocks, currencies and water. Services are also traded： tourism, banking, consulting and transportation. A product that is sold to the global market is an export, and a product that is bought from the global market is an import.International trade can benefit us a lot. Trading globally allows us to expand our markets for both goods and services that otherwise may not have been available to us. If you walk into a supermarket and are able to buy Indonesian bananas, Brazilian coffee and a bottle of French wine, you are experiencing the effects of international trade.International trade brings US both advantages and disadvantages. For instance, international trade may also make the world economy easily affected by factors like prices,supply and demand, as well as global events.

A decrease in the cost of labor, on the other hand, would result in you having to pay less for your new shoes.26.International trade exchanges goods and services between different countries and regions.27.Every kind of goods and services can be found on the global market.28.A product that is bought from the global market is an export.29.International trade may easily affect world economy.30.Political change in one country has nothing to do with international trade.

Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or a company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or a company.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not rich, who buy stocks and try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or the company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博) . All are anxious to make money by "gambling" in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to "gamble".

C．will become the owner of the company or the factory

D．are one of the owners of the company or the factory

听力原文： To find out how the name Canada came about we must go back to the 16th century. At that time the French dreamed of discovering and controlling more land, of expanding trade beyond their borders and of spreading their faith across the world. In 1535, Francois I, King of France, ordered a navigator named Jacques Cartier to explore the New World and search for a passage to India.

Cartier first arrived at the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, which he wanted to explore. He did not know what to expect but he hoped that this Gulf was just an arm of the ocean between two islands, if it was, be would soon be on his way to the Far East. So he sailed upstream along the St. Lawrence River. However, instead of reaching Asia he arrived at Quebec or Stadacona, as the Indians called it. It was at this point that the term "Canada" entered the country's history. Apparently the word "Canada" came from an Indian word Kanata, which means community or village. Cartier first used it when he referred to Stadacona or Quebec. What a huge village Canada is!
