On a sunny Sunday, ten fully welldressed people were standing at the airport waiting for the parachute(降落傘 )training. Suddenly, with the help of a guide dog, a blind man was ing with a parachute on his back. “ Do you also e for the parachute training?” someone asked. “ Yes!” the blind man answered in a loud voice. “ Ah” the people cried in surprise. “ I know. Are you wondering how a blind man can parachute?” the blind man said cheerfully, “ It’ s not difficult. I’ ll parachute like you.” “ But how do you know when to jump?” someone asked. “ Although I’ m blind, I can hear! When the bell for the training rings, I’ ll carry my dog to follow you.” the blind man replied. “ Then how do you know when to open the parachute?” someone asked again. “ The coach says, counting to five from the moment I jump down. I can open it.” replied the blind man. “ But when you are about to fall to the ground, how do you know when to fall to the ground? It is the most dangerous moment.” “ It’ s easy. When my dog is scared into crying and the rope in my hands bees tight, I’ ll prepare for falling to the ground.” They looked at each other, all silent. At the end of the training, the coach told everybody, “ In this training, Robert gets the highest score for his most standard and perfect action.” “ Who is Robert?” they asked. “ He,” the coach replied, pointing at the blind young man. 45.

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 McDonald’ s destroy 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 doesn’ t destroy 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 relationships so that their economies aren’ 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 world. For some workers, such as engineers, lawyers and bankers, globalization has been a good development. These workers are able to successfully pete(競爭) globally and have seen an increase in their pay. But for those who work in factories or in the service 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, Indian curry and French cheeses have spread around the world. We can also see an increase in the use of Chinese characters in tattoos(紋身 ). Some people get these tattoos but they don’ 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 worldwide. No one knows the future of globalization. Most experts agree that it will continue to grow and have an increasingly greater influence on people’ s life in the future. 49. Some people think globalization is good because it may _________ . A. change local cultures B. help local businesses develop
