Benefited or Hurt
For the most
part, it seems, workers in rich countries have little to fear from
globalization, and a lot to gain. But is the same thing true for workers in poor
countries The answer is that they are even more likely than their rich country
counterparts to benefit, because they have less to lose and more to gain.
Orthodox economics takes an optimistic line on integration and the developing
countries. Openness to foreign trade and investment should encourage capital to
flow to poor economies. In the developing world, capital is scarce, so the
returns on investment there should be higher than in the industrialized
countries, where the best opportunities to make money by adding capital to labor
have already been used up. If pool countries lower their barriers to trade and
investment, the theory goes: rich foreigners will want to send over some of
their capital.
If this inflow of resources arrives in the form
of loans or portfolio investment, it will supplement domestic savings and loosen
the financial constraint on additional investment by local companies. If it
arrives in the form of new foreign controlled operations, FDI, so much the
better: this kind of capital brings technology and skills from abroad packaged
along with it, with less financial risk as well. In either case, the addition to
investment ought to push incomes up, partly by raising the demand for labor and
partly by making labor more productive.
This why workers in FDI
receiving countries should be in an even better position to profit from
integration than workers in FDI sending countries. Also, with or without inflows
of foreign capital, the same static and dynamic gains from trade should apply in
developing countries as in rich ones. This gain from trade logic often arouses
suspicion, because the benefits seem to come from nowhere. Surely one side or
the other must lose. Not so. The benefits that a rich country gets though trade
do not come at the expense of its poor country trading partners, or vice versa.
Recall that according to the theory, trade is a positive sum game. In all these
transactions, sides exporters and importers, borrowers and lenders, shareholders
and workers can gain.According to the passage, who may be reasonably afraid of the

For the most part, shopping online is as safe as shopping at your local mall. As long as you know what to look out for, there’s no reason to battle traffic or long lines when you can just as easily order what you want at home.
There are, though, some ways to make ordering online a little bit safer. Here are some tips.
Never click links in E-mails from strangers. Fraudsters (骗子) send E-mails with links to sites that look like genuine shopping sites but are actually designed to steal personal information. It’s safer to find a site through a web search or to shop online at a familiar store.
Check the protections offered by your credit card. Some cards offer 100 percent fraud (诈骗) protection, so if you do fall victim to frauds, they will cover the cost as long as you report it within a reasonable time frame.
Besides, card issuers often monitor spending activity so they can notice when something unusual happens, such as a big expenditure at
A. click on links provided by strangers
B. find a site through web search
C. visit any familiar web sites
D. visit the site of a well-known store
[填空题]______ benefited most from the healthy lifestyles approach to health.
[单项选择]We know that, for the most part, the bigger a man’s muscles are, the stronger he is. Can it be considered, then, that the larger the brain a man has, the cleverer he is The answer is no.
There are only two animals that have larger brains than man, the whale and the elephant. Yet, according to his size, man’s brain is larger. Man’s brain usually weighs about three pounds or a little more, and this is about one-fortieth of the weight of his whole body. The whale’s body, on the other hand, is a thousand times heavier than its brain, while the elephant’s body is about five hundred times as heavy.
But a man who has a large brain is not necessarily cleverer than one whose brain is smaller. We know that geniuses have existed who have had very large brains, but there have been others whose brains were rather small.
We do not understand why some people are cleverer than others. Whether our brains are large or small is less important than that we try to do our very best.
Man’s
A. forty-one times as weighty as
B. forty times weightier than
C. thirty-nine times as weighty as
D. forty times the weighty of
