【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 different periodsCGlobalization means that people，ideas，technology，money，services and many other things are moving between countries and changing the way people think and act.Not everyone thinks the same way about globalization. Some people think it is bad，and some people think it is good. Some believe that globalization helps rich people get richer and makes poor people poorer. These people say that globalization helps big panies like CocaCola and McDonald39。s destory（破壞）local businesses. However，the people who think globalization is a good thing argue that globalization helps poorer people to bee richer. They also think that it doesn39。t destory local cultures. These people also believe globalization helps prevent wars. This is because countries with economic（經(jīng)濟(jì)的）connections will try hard to keep good relationahips so that their economies aren39。t destroyed.Whether you think globalization is good or bad，it affects the world in two areas：jobs and cultures.Globalization has had a very strong influence on jobs all over the would. For some workers，such as engincers，lawyers and bankers，globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully pete（競爭）globally and have seen an incrase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the aervice industry（at hotels，shops and restaurants）,it has not been good. Workers from poorer countries are trying to get these types of jobs. They will do the same job for less money. This decreases the pay for that job，so people get paid less to do it.Cultures have also been affected by globalization. Foods such as Japanese noodles，Inaian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters（漢字）in tattoos（文身）. Some people get these tattoos but they don39。t really know what the characters mean. Globalization also affects the film industry. Most people have seen American movies. But because of globalization，Korean. Indian and Japanese movies have bee more wouldwide.No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people39。s lives in the future.38．Some people think giobalization is good because it may ． A．change local cultures B．help local businesses develop C．make rich people bee richer D．help stop wars among countries39．According to Paragraph 4 we know ． A．engineers will get a lower pay B．people can get favourite jobs more easilyC．globalization greatly affects people39。s jobs D．workers from rich countries get paid less40．Globalization helps people in the world ．A．know Chinese characters very well B．go to different countries for moviesC．own the same culture in the end D．Enjoy foods from different countries41．What can we infer（推斷）from the passage？A．Globalization is sure to do good to people．[來源:學(xué)科網(wǎng)]B．Globalization will be limited in the future．C．Globalization may change people39。s in the future． D．Globalization will be loved throughout the would．DWhen I was in the second grade，my teacher gave all her students some seeds（種子）. She told us to watch the magic of the seeds once we planted them. Excitedly，I put a few seeds in my pot. I watered them for a few days and purple flowers came out.In class，I reported back to my teacher that the magic was the purple flowers. My classmates reported back with the red，white or yellow ones. I was wondering why we didn39。t have green flowers. When the bell rang，we drew a conclusion“a fiower garden is beautiful”，and this was my first gardening experience.Years later，one day，when we drone by Naperville downtown in a summer. Mom pointed out a big land.“Look，this is the munity garden land.”she told me.“What is a munity garden land?”I asked.“When people live in apartments or town homes，they don39。t have much land. People pay a little money to rent（租）a piece of land from the city. They can grow anything.”“Why don39。t we rent one?”I curiously asked.“We don39。t need have a house，so we have a small piece of land.”A few years ago，an older couple moved in next door. They gave us some tomatoes from their garden. They grew the best tomatoes I had ever tasted. I asked my mom to buy some tomatoes just like our neighbors39。. Mon said it was impossible to buy those tomatoes from the supermarket.So，last year，I decided to try. I had my dad dig out a small land in the back yard of our house，put it some peat moss（泥炭蘚）and mushroom post（蘑菇肥）. For the start，I only planted some tomatoes and cucumbers. Day by day，I looked after my garden and took out weeds（雜草）.I was surprised to see that cucumbers actually grow on the vine，and my tomatoes had a special kind of earthly smell.At the same time，I found myself suddenly having an interest in weather. I always wished rain to water my little garden. My brother Alex teased me.“You are an old farmer now.” One day，I found some tomatoes gone in one pla
