Many accept these benefits of globalization but worry that it raises income inequality. What are the facts? Global inequality has actually declined下倾 if one treats every individual as a citizen of Planet Earth and ignores their nationality. True, most of this is due to the spectacular 壮观的advancement 先进of incomes in China and India, but many other countries are sharing in the good fortunes that globalization brings. Within countries, the pattern of changes in inequality defies 使成为不可能easy characterization. Income inequality has indeed increased over the last 30 years in countries like the United States, but the consensus一致的意见is that the cause is technology rather than trade.
The last material benefit I mentioned was a cleaner environment. Freedom—and free markets---eventually translate into a cleaner environment. We now know that some of the worst environmental abuses occurred in the countries of the former Soviet Union, under central planning and absence of political freedoms. In market economies, in contrast, once average incomes have crossed a threshold门槛of about $3000 to $4000, rising incomes and cleaner environments go hand in hand.关系密切

The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process,

Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, especially because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”. They featured unconventional things like small nuclear reactors反应
堆 as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.
But guess what? All of these things are likely to change in the not-so-distant future. It may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.
Airbags aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions（碰
撞), they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.
Better than systems to minimize（使减少到最低限
度） injury in the event of an accident ,however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening. Future cars may be able to remove many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, and tailgating . Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determin
es you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle .
Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There’s no reason to think it won’t be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such systems could be used as failsafe systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled.

A. my car is far better than my brother’s B. my car is not as good as my brother’s
