雅思阅读文章大意：贸易的发展史，讲了贸易的人的天性以及各地的贸易发展水平和状况。

Basically trade means exchange of goods, services, or both. Trade is also

called commerce. The actual face of trade was barter, which was the direct

exchange of goods and services. Today traders generally negotiate through a

medium of exchange, like money, which then makes buying separate from selling,

or earning. The invention of money has made trade simpler. Trade between two

traders is called bilateral trade, while trade between more than two traders is

called multilateral trade.

Trade exists for many reasons. It can be due to specialization and division

of labor. Trade exists between regions because different regions have a

comparative advantage in the production of some tradable commodity, or because

different regions' size helps getting benefits of mass production.

History of Trade:

Trade originated in prehistoric times. It was the main facility of

prehistoric people, who bartered goods and services from each other when modern

money was never even thought of. Peter Watson dates the history of long-distance

commerce from circa 150,000 years ago.

Trade is believed to have taken place throughout much of recorded human

history. Materials used for the creation of jewelry were traded with Egypt since

3000 BC. Long-distance trade routes first appeared in the 3rd millennium BC, by

the Sumerians in Mesopotamia when they traded with the Harappan civilization of

the Indus Valley. Trading is greatly important to the global economy. From the

very beginning of Greek civilization to the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th

century, a financially worthwhile trade brought valuable spice to Europe from

the Far East, including China.

The fall of the Roman Empire, and the succeeding Dark Ages brought insecurity

to Western Europe and a near end of the trade network. However some trade did

occur, the Radhanites were a medieval group of Jewish merchants who traded

between the Christians in Europe and the Muslims of the Near East.

The Sogdians ruled the East-West trade route known as the Silk Road from the

end 4th century AD to the 8th century AD.

The Vikings and Varangians also traded from the 8th to the 11th century as

they sailed from and to Scandinavia. Vikings sailed to Western Europe, while

Varangians to Russia.

Vasco da Gama restarted the European Spice trade in 1498. Earlier to his

sailing around Africa, the flow of spice into Europe was controlled by Islamic

powers, especially Egypt. The spice trade was of major economic importance and

helped encourage the Age of Exploration. Spices brought to Europe from distant

lands were some of the most valuable commodities for their weight, sometimes

rivaling gold.

In the 16th century, Holland was the centre of free trade, imposing no

exchange controls, and advocating the free movement of goods.

In 1776, Adam Smith published the paper "An Inquiry into the Nature and

Causes of the Wealth of Nations". This paper criticized Mercantilism, and argued

that economic specialization could benefit nations just as much as firms. Since

that time the division of labor was restricted by the size of the market, he

said that countries having access to larger markets would be able to divide

labor more efficiently and thereby become more productive.

The Great Depression was a major economic collapse that ran from 1929 to the

late 1930s. There was a great setback in trade and other economic indicators

during this period.

The lack of free trade was considered by many as a root cause of the

depression. Only during the World War II the recession ended in United

States.

参考阅读：

Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent. The Tsarist control and

isolationism in Russia allowed for little influence from the West. It wasn't

until the rise of Peter the Great that Russian society opened up to the West.

St. Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and compete against Moscow’s

isolationism. Peter the Great created a new Russia which rivaled the society of

the West with magnificent courts and palaces. His vision was to challenge the

west. Classical ballet entered the realm of Russia not as entertainment, but as

a “standard of physical comportment to be emulated and internalized-an idealized

way of behaving. The aim was not to entertain the masses of Russians, but to

create a cultivated and new Russian people.

Empress Anna, (1730 – 1740) was devoted to ostentatious amusements (balls,

fireworks, tableaux), and in the summer of 1734 ordered the appointment of

Jean-Baptiste Landé as dancing-master in the military academy she had founded in

1731 for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became ballet master and head of the

new ballet school, launching the advanced study of ballet in Russia, and winning

the patronage of elite families.

France provided many leaders such as Charles Didelot in St Petersburg

(1801-1831), Jules Perrot(1848-1859) and Arthur Saint-Léon (1859-69).

In the early 19th century, the theaters were opened up to anyone who could

afford a ticket. A seating section called a rayok, or 'paradise gallery',

consisted of simple wooden benches. This allowed non-wealthy people access to

the ballet, because tickets in this section were inexpensive.

One author describes the Imperial ballet as “unlike that of any other country

in the world…the most prestigious of the ballet troupes were those attached to

the state-supported theatres. The directors of these companies were personally

appointed by the tsar, and all the dancers were, in a sense, Imperial servants.

In the theatre, the men in the audience always remained standing until the tsar

entered his box and, out of respect, after the performance they remained in

their places until he had departed. Curtain calls were arranged according to a

strict pattern: first, the ballerina bowed to the tsar’s box, then to that of

the theater director, and finally to the general public.

Robotics is making inroads into society, not only in factories and industry

but also in homes and schools, where social robots are helping children cope

better with conditions such as diabetes and autism.

A robot and child

Studies show that interaction with a robot can benefit children with certain

medical conditions such as diabetes, as well as autism and other developmental

disorders. (Image: ALIZ-E project.)

This week, thousands of people – young and old – are exploring the weirdness

and wonders of robotics technology during the European Robotics Week, which is

taking place in labs, museums, public squares and schools all over Europe.

But robotics offers more than just show and tell. It can make a real

difference in the lives of children who, for example, struggle with diabetes or

autism, or need extra help in the classroom.

‘Nao’ the friendly (but not perfect) robot

Recently, scientists showed that social robots can help diabetic children

accept the nature of their condition and become more confident about their

futures. In the four-and-a-half year ALIZ-E project, a research team led by

Plymouth University studied the interactions between hundreds of European

children aged 7-11 and a robot prototype called ‘Nao’.

Standing around 60 centimetres tall and featuring specially designed speech

recognition software, ‘Nao’ helped the youngsters in keeping a diary of food

intake, insulin injections and blood sugar levels. Through quizzes and games it

also helped the kids to better understand diabetes and the huge amount of

information they are given.

According to ALIZ-E leader Tony Belpaeme, the robot is not just a novelty

factor to catch the children’s attention but a tool to engage and motivate them.

“In many cases where a child has diabetes, you notice their confidence has been

knocked and the robot can help restore that. By personalising its responses and

recognising the children it has met before, the robots can support and educate,

and we have seen many times the positive impact this is having on children and

their families,” Belpaeme says in a Plymouth University news release.

The European Commission-funded study has not only shed light on how children

relate to social robots, but also how robots need to be designed to maximise

their impact when used for educational or therapeutic purposes.

“The robot needs to personalise what it does. If it treats children on an

individual level, they immediately relate to it – it taps into our primitive

need to interact and communicate,” Belpaeme says in the release. “One of the

things that does appeal to children is that the robot makes mistakes – if it

never did so, it could become intimidating. It does make the child realise they

too don’t have to be perfect all of the time.”

Robots to assist autistic children

The researchers also showed the robots have potential to act as classroom

assistants helping pupils who may be in danger of falling behind their peers.

The team is now exploring additional uses for the robots, for instance to help

children on the autistic spectrum.

“Our initial work shows it could have an incredibly positive impact on those

children, and given that autism can impact heavily on someone’s ability to

communicate and build relationships, we now need to establish why it seems they

can relate to a tiny robot. From that, we can explore how widely we can use the

robot as a therapeutic tool and can we, in fact, use it to teach about wider

social interactions,” Belpaeme says.

As shown in a number of recent reports by the BBC, there is indeed growing

evidence that robots can help autistic children not only to learn but also to

improve their communication skills.
