The new aircraft represents a $ 250m bet by Bombardier that Mexico could provide not just routine labour but manufacturing that depended on high-tech materials. It placed the bet, according to Michael McAdoo, head of global strategy, because it was seeing old European rivals go bust and new ones emerging in low-cost countries such as China and India. Workers in Wichita and Montreal complained. But Mr McAdoo says they came to realise that if outsourcing some manufacturing to Mexico ensured Bombardier’s future, it would

their own jobs for years to come.
A shared concern with employment is one of the reasons that politicians are starting to pay more attention to NAFTA(North American Free Trade Agreement), which in recent years has been failing to live up to its early promise. Rebooting the agreement tops the agenda at the meeting of the leaders of the three countries scheduled to take place in Mexico this February. " There’s a joint willingness among all three countries to relaunch the idea of North America, not just in terms of manufacturing, but in innovation and design," says Sergio Alcocer, under-secretary for North America in Mexico’s foreign ministry.
In May 2013 Barack Obama—who in 2007, on the campaign trail, called NAFTA a "mistake" —trumpeted cross-border trade on a visit to Mexico, noting that the United States exports more to Mexico than to the BRIC countries—Brazil, Russia, India and China—combined. On a visit in September his vice-president, Joe Biden, dwelt on NAFTA’s untapped potential. The trade agreement was beginning to look out of date. There needed to be freer movement of "goods, people and information" across the borders, despite security worries. More shared infrastructure investment was necessary. He acknowledged that politicians had held up such improvements: " Make us do it," he urged business people and the public.
In the United States, the potential of closer integration has been outweighed—at least in the eyes of politicians—by the fear of job losses, as well as illegal drugs, crime and immigration from Mexico. Canada, however, long ago started seeing Mexico as a rival in its relationship with the United States, rather than a partner. Mexico, in which almost half of the population lives in poverty, much the same level as 20 years ago, has mixed feelings.
The text mainly discusses about______.
选项
A、rebooting of NAFTA and its concerns
B、employment in North American countries
C、contributions of North American countries
D、relationship among North American countries
答案
A
解析
文章第一段通过讨论墨西哥的劳动力引出北美国家就业问题,引出第二段首句的NAFTA,第二句的rebooting the agreement等关键信息,文章后面三段讨论的都是关于重新启动NAFTA以及可能面对的问题。其中第二段的shared concern,第三段的mistake,security wor-ries,第四段的by fear of等信息都体现了问题的存在,故[A]选项最能体现文章大意。
