What’s the one word of advice a well-meaning professional would give to a recent college graduate? China? India? Brazil? How about trade?
When the Commerce Department reported last week that the trade deficit in June approached $50 billion, it set off a new round of economic doom saying. Imports, which soared to $200.3 billion in the month, are subtracted in the calculation of gross domestic product. The larger the trade deficit, the smaller the GDP. Should such imbalances continue, pessimists say, they could contribute to slower growth.
But there’ s another way of looking at the trade data. Over the past two years, the figures on imports and exports seem not to signal a double-dip recession—a renewed decline in the broad level of economic activity in the United States—but an economic expansion.
The rising volume of trade—more goods and services shuttling in and out of the United States—is good news for many sectors. Companies engaged in shipping, trucking, rail freight, delivery, and logistics (物流) have all been reporting better than expected results. The rising numbers signify growing vitality in foreign markets—when we import more stuff, it puts more cash in the hands of people around the world, and U. S. exports are rising because more foreigners have the ability to buy the things we produce and market. The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses, especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price—agricultural goods, mining, metals, oil.
And while exports always seem to lag, U.S. companies are becoming more involved in the global economy with each passing month. General Motors sells as many cars in China as in America each month. While that may not do much for imports, it does help GM’s balance sheet—and hence makes the jobs of U.S.-based executives more stable.
One great challenge for the U.S. economy is slack domestic consumer demand. Americans are paying down debt, saving more, and spending more carefully. That’s to be expected, given what we’ve been through. But there’s a bigger challenge. Can U.S. -based businesses, large and small, figure out how to get a piece of growing global demand? Unless you want to pick up and move to India, or Brazil, or China, the best way to do that is through trade. It may seem obvious, but it’ s no longer enough simply to do business with our friends and neighbors here at home.
Companies and individuals who don’t have a strategy to export more, or to get more involved in foreign markets, or to play a role in global trade, are shutting themselves out of the lion’s share of economic opportunity in our world.
Who particularly benefit from the rising volume of trade?
选项
A、People who have expertise in international trade.
B、Consumers who favour imported goods and services.
C、Producers of agricultural goods and raw materials.
D、Retailers dealing in foreign goods and services.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题目中the rising volume of trade可定位至文章第四段,根据第四段最后一句The rising tide of trade is also good news for people who work in trade-sensitive businesses,especially those that produce commodities for which global demand sets the price--agricultural goods,mining,metals,oil.(贸易呈增长趋势对于那些在贸易敏感行业工作的人来说也是好消息,尤其是对于那些由世界需求来决定商品价格的生产商来说更是好事——包括农产品、矿产、金属和石油等生产领域。)可知,贸易额上涨对于农产品和原材料生产领域最有利。因此,正确答案是C。
