单选题Hitchhiking When I was in my teens (十几岁) and 20s, hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers 1 me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa. Some of the lift-givers became friends, many provided hospitality 2 the road. Not only did you find out much more about a country than 3 traveling by train or plane, but also there was that element of excitement about where you would finish up that night. Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture. It has books and songs about it. So what has happened to 4 ? A few years ago, I asked the same question about hitchhiking in a column on a newspaper. 5 of people from all over the world responded with their views on the state of hitchhiking. "If there is a hitchhiker"s 6 it must be Iran," came one reply. Rural Ireland was recommended as a friendly place for hitchhiking, 7 was Quebec, Canada. "If you don"t mind being berated (严厉指责) for not speaking French." But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in many parts of the world, the 8 feeling was that throughout much of the west it was doomed (消亡). With so much news about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger. But do we 9 to be so wary both to hitchhike and to give a lift? In Poland in the 1960s, 10 a Polish woman who e-mailed me, "the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker"s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time a driver 11 somebody, he or she received a coupon. At the end of the season, 12 who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes. Everybody was hitchhiking then." Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down 13 between strangers. It would help fight 14 warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would he using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant 15 in geography, history, politics and sociology.

单选题Disagreements among economists are legendary, but not on the issue of free trade. A recent survey of prominent economists both conservative and liberal concluded that an economist who argues for restricting international trade is almost as common today as a physician who favors leeching. Why the consensus? International free trade, economists agree, makes possible higher standards of living all over the globe. The case for free trade rests largely on this principle: as long as trade is voluntary, both partners benefit, otherwise they wouldn't trade. The buyer of a shirt, for example, values the shirt more than the money spent, while the seller values the money more. Both are better off because of the sale. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether the shirt salesman is from the United States or Hong Kong (or anywhere else). The vast majority of American manufactures face international competition. This competition forces companies to improve quality and cut costs. By contrast, protectionism encourages monopoly, lower quality and higher prices. Americans pay an enormous price for protectionism over $60 billion a year, or $1000 for a family of four. Thanks to protectionism, for example, American consumers pay twice the world price for sugar. Free trade also makes the world economy more efficient, by allowing nations to capitalize on their strengths. The United States has an advantage in food production, for instance, while Saudi Arabia has an advantage in oil. The Saudis could undertake massive irrigation to become self-sufficient in food, but it is more economical for them to sell oil and purchase food from us. Similarly, we could become self-sufficient in petroleum by squeezing more out of oil shale. But it is much less costly to buy some of our oil from Saudi Arabia. Trade between our two countries improves the standard of living in both. Protectionism is both wasteful and unjust. It taxes most heavily the people who can least afford it. Thus, tariffs that raise the price of shoes burden the poor more than the rich. Despite the powerful case for free trade, the United States and the rest of the world have always been protectionist to some degree. This is because free trade benefits the general public, while protectionism benefits special interest groups, which are better organized, better financed and more informed. To make matters worse, much of what we hear on this issue is misinformation spread by the special interests themselves.
