Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D．Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context．

　　Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market．The question is：Is economic globalization 　　1　　 for all?

　　According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce 　　2　　 in a large number of developing countries．It quotes one study that shows increased wealth 　　3　　 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 to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes 　　4　　 at an average rate of five percent-compared to two percent in developed countries．

　　Those who 　　5　　 globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses．　　6　　 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in 　　7　　 open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet．

　　Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually 　　8　　 the 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 　　9　　 from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind．　　10　　 , 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 　　11　　 their products may soon face fierce competition that could pot them out of 　　12　　．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 　　13　　 and will be crowded out．

　　One thing is certain about globalization－there is no 　　14　　．Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world．The 　　15　　 now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all．(347 words)

　　Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a 　　1　　 in number．Human beings are born with this ability．　　2　　, experiments show that many animals are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 　　3　　．However, if you remove two, the bird 　　4　　 leaves．This means that the bird knows the 　　5　　 between two and three．

　　Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 　　6　　 number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not 　　7　　 until the man left the tower．The man had an 　　8　　．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 　　9　　 the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was 　　10　　 with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 　　11　　．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 　　12　　 able to fool the crow．

　　How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 　　13　　 group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 　　14　　 fooled．

　　It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 　　15　　 is not much better than a crow's．

　　My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds．But they thought 　　1　　．My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理) 　　2　　 , were always landing on 　　3　　 ears．Very often a whole hour's scolding would end with their 　　4　　 into tears．I felt very frustrated．I realized I needed to 　　5　　 my method of “mothering”．

　　for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 　　11　　 asking them to play a certain violin 　　12　　．Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the
