Task 4. Reading: Answer the following questions according to the text.
On the day of my first piano recital, I became more and more nervous. To help me calm down, my piano teacher told me to place several cabbages in the room where I practiced. I was so eager to get over my nerves that I was willing to try anything. For the next few hours, I played to an audience of cabbages. When the time of the recital finally arrived, I was still terribly nervous. My hands felt like ice. When I finally walked across the stage, I looked out into the dark audience. I could not see anyone! All those people out there could just as easily have been cabbages. As I sat down to play, my hands relaxed. Before I knew it, I had played all my pieces without a mistake. For the first time, the cabbage heads applauded.

HOW DOES INTERNATIONAL TRADE WORK?

Great wealth comes from trading and there is a reason. No country would sell something abroad unless it could make a profit somehow.This profit is used to make life better for the economy as a whole. Even if the money is not distributed evenly- which is a social issue that every country has to deal with – it does not mean that people are worse off because of trade. With a minimum of trade barriers, consumers are given the opportunity to buy the best products at the best prices. By opening up markets, a government allows its citizens to export those things that they are best at producing and to import the rest, choosing from the best the world has to offer.

By opening up borders to trade, rich countries are also able to stimulate growth in the developing countries- which often makes both sides better off. By importing cheaper goods from the developing countries, the industrialised countries not only provide their own consumers with a wider range of products to choose from, they stimulate the growth of jobs in countries where people are desperate to earn enough to live on. By giving the developing countries an economic “jump start”, rich countries are able to expand their own economies as well. As developing countries grow and their citisens suddenly have disposable income, the first things they usually buy are goods and services from the industrialised countries, such as automobiles, movies and computers. In the end, increased trade leads to more growth, which means more jobs for almost everyone.
When a country decides to erect trade barriers , the result usually damages everyone including those people the barriers were originally meant to protect. The Great Depression of the 1930s, for example, spread around the world when the United States decided to erect trade barriers to protect local producers. As other countries retaliated, trade plummeted, jobs were lost, and the world entered a long period of economic decline.
