As wc go about our everyday lives, wc mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, wc must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is a thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook . Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited (o what the stores have on their racks. Statues too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.1. In (he first paragraph, (he writer tells us that statuses can help us. A)determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB) behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC) protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD) make friends with other people2.

In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun "it" refers to "A)fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB) identification of other people's statusesC) selecting one's own statusesD) constant mental process5. By saying that "an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince" (Lines 23,Para.3), the writer means.A) different people have different styles of clothesB) ready-made clothes may need alterationsC) statuses come ready made just like clothesD) our choice of statuses is limitedCInternationa! TradeInternational trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries. It is also known as world trade, foreign trade or overseas trade. The economic, social and political importance of international trade has been on the rise in recent years.Reasons for International TradeUneven distribution of natural resourcesThe distribution of natural resources is uneven, and no country can be completely self-sufficient. A country may be rich in some resources but poor in others. For example, Britain has enough coal but lacks some metal resources; Japan relies heavily on imports for most of primary commodities. That is the reason why international trade first began.SpecializationWith the development of manufacturing and technology, one country may produce one or more commodities at a lower real cost than its trading partners. It then follows that this country will benefit from specialization in those commodities in which it has an “absolute advantagc'Xbcing able to produce at a lower real cost than another country), exporting them and importing other coimnodities which it produces at a higher real cost than does another country. Such specialization forms an important basis for international trade.Economies of scaleTrade may occur because of economies of scale, that is, the cost advantages of large-scale production. For example, Country A and Country B may have the same capability in producing cars and computers, hut the cost for the production of them will decrease if each were to specialize completely in the production of one and import the other.6. is the reason why international trade first began.A) Uneven distribution of resourcesPatterns of demandB) Economic benefitsComparative advantages7.
