Distinguishing this current wave of globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today globalization is “farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper.” 正確答案： interaction 正確答案： investment 正確答案： environment 正確答案： prosperity 正確答案： wellbeing 正確答案： corporations 正確答案： distances 正確答案： have invested in 正確答案： qualitatively new phase 正確答案： this current wave Part II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes ) Section A Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks.
