2.2 Reading comprehension 
Read the passage below and do the tasks that follow 
The sale of goods and services is not restricted to local, regional or national markets; it 
often takes place on an international basis. Nations import goods that they lack or cannot 
produce as efficiently as other nations, and they export goods that they can produce more 
efficiently. This exchange of goods and services in the world, or global, is known as 
international trade. There are three main benefits to this type of exchange. 
First international trade makes scarce goods available to nations that need or desire them. 
When a nation lacks the resources needed to produce goods domestically, it may import 
them from another country. 
Second, international trade allows a nation to specialise in production of those goods for 
which it is particularly suited. This often results in increased output, decreased costs, and 
a higher national standard of living. Natural human and technical resources help 
determine which product a nation will specialise in. 
The third benefit of international trade is its political effects. Nations that trade together 
develop common interests that may help them overcome political differences. Economic 
cooperation has been the foundation for many political alliances, such as the European 
Community, founded in 1957. 
International trade has done much to improve global conditions. It enables countries 
import goods they lack or cannot produce domestically. It allows countries to specialise 
in certain goods with increased production and decreased prices. Finally, it opens the 
channels of communication among the nations.
