For example, as far back as 2000 B.C., tribes in northern Africa took dates and clothing to Babylonia and Assyria in the Middle East and traded them for spices and oliv

19、e oil. By 500 B.C., Chinese merchants were actively exporting silk and jade to India and Europe, and trade routes were being established between many countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa.But even as recently as 100 years ago, international trade was only a small part of the global economy. The effe

20、cts of any given countrys economy had a minimal effect on the rest of the world. Indeed, it wasnt until the Great Depression that swept the world in 1929 that experts realized how interdependent the global economy had become.Globalization the process through which the worlds economy is becoming one

21、interdependent system brings with it both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, globalization has increased the standard of living of billions of people and has helped to create enormous wealth in many different parts of the globe. On the other hand, there are many people who have not shar

25、and, interest rates, and production costs all had to be considered. But so too did international business conditions. And many businesses Circuit City and Chrysler, for example struggled mightily, and some failed. But those with managers and leaders who really understood the global economy did in fa

26、ct regain their footing. And as global economic conditions improve, so too does the outlook for these businesses.（ ）1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A.
