问题     Today the world’s economy is going through two great changes, both bigger than an Asian financial crisis here or a European monetary union there.
    The first change is that a lot of industrial【C1】______ is moving from the United States, Western Europe and Japan to developing countries in Latin America, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe. In 1950, the United States alone【C2】______ for more than half of the world’s economy output. In 1990, its【C3】______ was down to a quarter. By 1990, 40% of IBM’s employees were non-Americans; Whirlpool, America’s leading【C4】______ of domestic appliances, cut its American labor force by 10%. Quite soon now, many big western companies will have more【C5】______ (and customers) in poor countries than in rich ones.
    The second great change is that, in the rich countries of the OECD, the balance of economic activity is【C6】______ from manufacturing to servicing. In the United States and Britain, the【C7】______ of workers in manufacturing has shrunk since 1900 from around 40% to barely half that. Even in Germany and Japan, which rebuilt so many【C8】______ after 1945, manufacturing’s share of jobs is now below 30%. The effect of the【C9】______ is increased with manufacturing moves from rich countries to the developing ones, whose cheap labor gives them a sharp advantage in many of the【C10】______ tasks required by mass production.
   A—output             B—shift             C—proportion
   D—accounted          E—factories         F—employees
   G—consumer           H—occupied          I—various
   J—swinging           K—production        L—enormous
   M—weapons            N—varying           O—supplier [br] 【C5】
