Transport and Trade
1 Transport is one of the aids to trade.By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places
where they are scarce,transport adds to their value.The more easily goods can be brought over the distance
that separates producer and consumer,the better for trade.When there were no railways,no good roads,no
canals,and only small sailing ships,trade was on a small scale.
2 The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big
increase in trade.Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand,
for instance.Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business,drawing supplies from,
and selling goods to,all parts of the globe.Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large
number of workers they need to and from their homes.Big city stores could not have developed unless
customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods were delivered to their homes.Big cities could not
survive unless food could be brought from a distance.
3 Transport also prevents waste.Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not
be taken quickly to inland towns.Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we
no longer have to live on what is produced locally.Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a
part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of living.
4 By moving fuel,raw materials,and even power,for example,through electric cables,transport has
led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before.
Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than oth-
ers and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes,the longer
the distance over which goods can profitably be carried.Countries with poor transport have a lower standard
of living.
5 Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and
information.Means of communication,like telephones,cables and radio,send information about prices,
supplies,and changing conditions in different parts of the world.In this way,advanced communication sys-
tems also help to develop trade.
Paragraph 3_____________
A:Higher Living Standard
B:Importance of Transport in Trade
C:Various Means of Transport
D:Birth of Transport-related Industries and Trade
E:Role of Information in Trade
F:Public Transportation

Brotherly Love
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a centuly.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad
Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins
in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sports but complained that they
could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,"You cannot play sports wearing shoes
that you'd walk around town with."So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of
athletic shoes with spikes（钉）,produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many
years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and
1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have sug-
gested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nick-
name was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company,too.At first he wanted to
call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat
has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies
have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,
though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written。
song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years
ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to
each other.
Nike makes more shoes than Adidas.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
