B With today's technology it is possible for people to solicit business from the far side of the globe • A company like Dell Computers can order parts from several different countries, take shipment in North Carolina where the new computers will be assembled, and then ship them to all regions of the globe • • An American oil firm can a satellite survey in Siberia for oil deposits and then contract with a Russian oil finn to drill the actual Well, while the petroleum engineer, acting as the project sqpervisor, remains in the US and runs !he p!:2i,ect by using a computer, a high speed Internet connection, and a cellular telephone for quick questions.m A global economy poses some serious problems If a company doesn't act fast enough, it can lose, and if the company loses heavily, what will happen to the employees working for the company, and then in tum what will happen to the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods? As can be seen, there is a definite trickle-down effect How is the child who is about to graduate from high school supposed to decide on what career field to enter? A career field that is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so not only does it become vital that a person gain the needed knowledge to enter a given career field, but the person also needs to learn how to learn Leaming how to learn may prove to be even more necessary than the knowledge needed to enter a given career field A person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global economy by quickly preparing to enter other career fields if his job is here today, but gone in the morning If the world turns into a global economy, a person will need to be able to get along and work with people from different cultural backgrounds However, unless a person has spent time living in different parts of the world, this might be hard to While many students from foreign countries, especially the Asian countries, come to the US to earn a graduate degree, how many students from the US spend even a semester abroad studying in another country? The answer to this question is of course a very small percentage While individuals from some of foreign countries and some individuals from the US and the US econom will ad'ust to lobalization will the rest of the world? When a person in a developing country sees all the cars on the streets of Beijing, of course that person wants a car so he can show his neigfibor how wealthy be is, -and alhhis -does is promote unneeded consumption Why does the person who has nowhere to go and no money to spend for travel want to own a car? The simple answer is because the media paint owning a car as a symbol of wealth and it is human nature to want to become wealthy or at least to appear wealthy On the positive side, as prices rise due to increased demands on scarce resources, there will be an incentive to find affordable alternatives For example, as the price of oil rises and along with it the price of a gallon of gasoline, a point will be reached at which people are no longer willing to purchase gasoline so they can drive their cars, and they will demand both alternative transportation methods and cars which use another source of energy A current online survey says $2.50 per gallon of gasoline is the point at which the people in the US will start making demands on the auto manufacturer, which will open up new career fields in a few countries that have the technology needed to meet the demands; however, people around the globe will work together on it The word "inexorable" in the passage is closest in meaning to A upward B recent C inevitable D preposterous The word "solicit'' in the passage is closest in meaning to A lure B sell C help D ask for According to par.2, what can be inferred about the role of a project supervisor? A To make sure the project is finished correctly and on time B To hand-check each of the steps in a project C To assign each of the items that needs to be done in a project -164- Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential infonnation in the underlined sentence in the passage? A The mass media are like a witch stirring her cauldron B The mass media always report the truth since this keeps the ratings up and brings in the most advertising revenue C The mass media will report half-truths if it will keep their ratings up so they can sell advertising D The mass media report every angle of a story since reports are apolitical and never present only one viewpoint In paragraph 5, what can be inferred from the description of the media about owning a car? A A car needs to be painted certain colors ifit is going to show others a person is wealthy B The media are so biased that they will provide paint if a person needs to paint his car so as to project the car as a symbol of wealth C The media slant the stories, so it will appear to viewers that only wealthy people own a car D The members of the media don't own cars, so they are jealous of those wealthy people who own cars Look at the four squares[•] in par.2 that indicate where the following sentence could be added to the passage E-businesses will be the lucrative businesses in the future since they are available to everyone with an Internet connection Where would the sentence best fit? Directions: An introductory sentence for a brief summary of the passage is provided below Complete the summary by selecting the THREE answer choices that express the most important ideas in the passage Some sentences not belong in the summary because they express ideas that are not presented in the passage or are minor ideas in the passage The Internet and technology are making the world a smaller and smaller place today, and this is creating a global economy• • • • A As Thomas Friedman so eloquently put it in Lexus and the Olive Tree, globaliz.ation is "the inexorable integration of markets, nation-states, and technologies to a degree never witnessed before," B A global economy poses some serious problems and if a company doesn't act fast enough, it can lose, and if the company loses heavily, the employees working for the company and the stores that depend on those employees buying their goods can go out of business C A person who is good at learning how to learn can quickly adapt to changes in the global economy by quickly preparing to enter other career fields, if his job is here today but gone in the morning D A career field that is here today might be gone long before the child can graduate from college, so it becomes vital E People are always going to be willing to pay any price they need to pay in order to buy something they want, which is why the price of gasoline will not be a factor in the global economy -165- F Individuals from some foreign countries, some individuals from the US and the US economy wilJ adjust to globalization, but the real question is, how is the rest of the world going to react to living in a global economy?
