21、isaster such as an earthquake or flood can bring help from distant countries. within hours, help is on the way. because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travel fast. how has this speed of communication changed the world? to many people, the world has

22、 become smaller. of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. it means that the world seems smaller. two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. all news was c

23、arried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from europe to reach americas. this time difference influenced peoples actions. for example, one battle, in the war of 1812 between england and the united state

24、s could have been avoided. a peace agreement had already been signed. peace was made in england. but the news of peace took six weeks to reach america. during these six weeks, the large and serious battle of new orleans was fought. many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. t

28、. in england c. by both sides d. in time task 2 when prices are low people will buy more, and when prices are high they will buy less. every shopkeeper knows this. but at the same time, producers want higher price for their goods when they make more goods. how can we find the best price for the good

29、s? the law of supply and demand is the economists answer to this question. according to this law, changes in the prices of goods cause change in supply and demand. an increase in the price of the goods causes an increase in supply then number of goods the producers make. producers will make more goo

30、ds when they can get higher prices for the goods. the producer makes more shoes as the price of shoes goes up. at the same time, an increase in the price of the goods causes a decrease in demand-the number of goods the consumers buy. this is because people buy less when the price is high. people buy

31、 fewer shoes as the price of shoes goes up. conversely, a decrease in the price causes an increase in demand ( people buy more shoes) and a decrease in supply ( producers make fewer shoes). business firms look at both supply and demand when they make decisions about price and production. they look f

32、or the equilibrium point where supply equals demand. at this point, the number of shoes produced is 3000 and the price of the shoes is $30. $30 is the equilibrium price: at this price the consumers will buy all of the 3000 shoes which the producers make. if the producers increase the price of the sh

33、oes, of if they produce more than 3000 shoes, the consumers will not buy all of the shoes. the producers will have a surplus more supply than demand- so they must decrease the price in order to sell all of the shoes. on the other hand, if they make fewer than 3000 shoes, they will be a shoes shortag

34、e more demand than supply- and the price will go up. according to the law of supply and demand, the equilibrium price is the best price for the good. the consumers and the producers will agree on this price because it is the only price that helps them both equally. 41. why does an increase in price

39、omy based on coins and bills of one kind or another. however, this has not always been true. in primitive societies a system of barter was used. barter was a system of direct of exchange of goods. somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considere

40、d to be of equal value. barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because peoples precise needs were seldom met. people needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of society recognized ad having value. cattle, grain, teeth,

41、 shells, feathers, salt, elephant tusks, and tobacco had all been used. precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value. a coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears wor

42、ds, designs or numbers showing its value. until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value-the value that the government choose to give them, which doesnt show the actual

43、 metal content. coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, aluminum(鋁), nickel (鎳), lead, zinc(鋅), plastic and in china even from tea leaves. most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills, which are really “promise to pay”. paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more con

44、venient in the modern world. checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “ money “ in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be sued. even today, in the united states, many places, especially in filling stations will not accept cash a
