1. Translate the marked part of the text:
(1) A major source of economic growth and rising living standards throughout the world derives from specialization and division of labour. Reaping the gains from specialization requires trade among individuals, and trade among regions.
(2) First, consider trade among individuals. If there were none, each person would have to be self-sufficient, producing all the food, clothing, medical services, entertainment and other things that he or she required. It does not take much imagination to realize that living standards would be very low in such a self-sufficient world. Trade among individuals allows people to specialize in those activities they can do well, and to exchange their surpluses with other people, who specialize in different activities. With trade, everyone can specialize in what they do relatively well, and all can gain.
(3) Exactly the same principle applies to regional specialization. Without interregional trade, each region would have to be self – sufficient, producing all the agricultural products, manufacturing goods and services that the people in the region require. With trade among regions, however, specialization is possible. With trade, each region can concentrate its efforts on what it does relatively well. And with exchange among specializing regions, all regions can gain.
(4) International trade refers to exchanges of goods and services that take place across national boundaries. It is of major importance in the modern world.
(5) International trade takes place because of differences in costs of production between countries, and because it increases the economic welfare of each country by widening the range of goods and services available for consumption. Differences in costs of production exist because countries are differently endowed with the resources required.
2. Read the text and choose the correct answer:
1) What is the major source of economic growth and prosperity of individuals?
a. A major source of economic growth and rising living standards derives from specialization and division of labour.
b. A major source of economic growth and rising living standards derives only from specialization.
