re and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one freeflowing global market. The question is:Is economic globalization 1 for all? According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 2 in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 3 to improved education and longer life in twentyfour developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twentyfour countries have seen ines 4 at an average rate of five percent—pared to two percent in developed countries. Those who 5 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and homebased businesses. 6 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 7 openair markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet. Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 8 the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually 9 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind. 10 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to 11 their products may soon face fierce petition that could put them out of 12 . When largescale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like WalMart move in, these small businesses will not be able to 13 and will be crowded out. One thing is certain about globalization—there is no 14 . Advances in technology bined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The 15 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all. (347 words) 1. A. possibleB. smoothC. goodD. easy2. A. crimeB. povertyC. conflictD. population3.
