Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up their markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is: Is economic globalization   50   for all?

According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce   51   in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   52   to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合）of local economies into the world economy. Home some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes   53   at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.

Those who   54   globalization claim that economies in developing countries wilt from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.   55   , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   56   open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.

Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually   57   gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually.   58   from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.   59   , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to   60   their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of   61   . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to   62   and will be crowded out.

One thing is certain about Globalization—there is no   63   . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The   64   now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the __41__ of our mother’s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It’s   42   how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don’t learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to    43   such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the bland and processes   44   for facial recognition.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in    45   a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such our clothes or cars, is from   46   in the brain. Researchers also have found the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been   47   thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but   48   involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person’s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex   49   is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.
