Exercise 5 Read the passage carefully
Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavourable trade balance with other nations Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a country’s imports exceeds that of its exports For example, if a country buys $10 billion in products from other countries, yet sells $10 billion of its own products overseas, its trade is $20 billion Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources, and thus have to import raw material or manufactured goods
One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country In the case of an underdeveloped nation, this can cause many financial difficulties, including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of
an industrial base Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States, a large trade deficit is reason for alarm American products, made by well – paid workers in U.S industries, cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia, where labour and material costs are much lower Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries
1 What does the passage mainly discuss?
a Several worldwide economic problems b The causes and consequences of trade deficit
c Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries d The value of export versus imports
2 According to the passage, when does a trade imbalance occur?
a A country has a serious economic problem b A country sells more products overseas than its import
c The value of the products a country imports is greater than the value of those it exports
d A country cannot develop its natural resources
3 The passage states that many underdeveloped nations have trade deficit because
a they find themselves in this position b they export most of their natural resources to others
c they have to import most of their natural resources or manufatured products
d they have failed to meet debt payments
4 Which of the following is not mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?
a low labour and material costs in Asian countries b A lack of natural resources
c An underdeveloped industrial base d The high cost of export items
5 It can be inferred from this passage that American industries
a do not pay their workers sufficient wages b are hurt by a trade imbalance
c import labour and material from overseas d provide a strong industrial base preventing a trade deficit
