Transport and Trade1 Transport is one of the aids to trade. By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale.2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.3 Transport also prevents waste. Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living.4 By moving fuel, raw materials, and even power, for example, through electric cables, transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before. Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes, the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. Means of communication, like telephones, cables and radio, send information about prices, supplies, and changing conditions in different parts of the world. In this way, advanced communication systems also help to develop trade. Paragraph 2 ______ A. Transport improves people"s living standard B. Importance of transport in trade C. Various means of transport D. Birth of transport—related industries and trade E. Role of information in trade F. Public transportation

The CarCars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn"t feel really poor when he has a car.Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn"t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United States a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.There are three main reasons why the ear becomes so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.The second reason why cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don"t like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don"t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ______.
DennyHis nickname is Denny". He weighs 400 pounds; he is fearless and he never goes to sleep on the job. An ideal security guard For many situations he may be. And if he"s so good that you wish you had a dozen like him, just place your order. Denny is a robot guard.Denny can detect, within a 150-thor radius, the presence of anything or anybody that shouldn"t be there. Its swiveling (旋转) head contains microwave and infrared sensors that can detect people as well as smoke. In future editions the head will also contain sensors that can smell the weak smell of a human body.A high-resolution TV camera in Denny"s head is on at all time. When something unexpected comes into view, the TV transmitter switches on. Thus the human overseer (看管人) in the control center sees the sudden appearance of a picture on the monitor screen. At the same time the picture is automatically videotaped.Normal speed of the robot guards is about one mile an hour, and they can even talk: "you have been detected," warns the voice from the clever guard. Denny is designed to patrol corridors and other areas after lock-down hours (of course, he can work round the clock when necessary), not to move among people. If, say, a prisoner does get near the corridor where he should not be, it"ll immediately tell its base station by radio.Denny has understandable limitations. He can"t open doors or watch stairs, for example, or distinguish a friend from an enemy. Thus he will have to go about unarmed. And he won"t be able to replace human security guards where people move about freely. Which of the following statements is true
