Track 13, Reading 7a, The Flower Trade When you purchase fresh -cut flowers,

do you think about where they came from?

You might assume they were grown somewhere nearby.

The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international.

Today, thanks to airplanes and high -tech cooling systems,

even the most delicate flower can be exported and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers from where it was grown.

The cut flower leader.

The Netherlands has dominated the world cut flower trade since the 1970s.

It handles about 50 % of the world's cut flowers.

And its auction houses are very large indeed.

Aalsmere, near Amsterdam, is an auction house in the sense that Tokyo is a city.

About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building.

20 million flowers are sold here on an average day, including roses, lilies, and of course, tulips.

The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties.

Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research.

Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower's vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling,

and also to strengthen the flower's natural fragrance.

The Benefits of Climate Despite the Netherlands' dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers.

The climate of Ecuador, for example, is almost perfect.

Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador's flower industry, which has grown quickly over recent years.

Our biggest edge is nature, he claims.

Our roses are the best in the world.

With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador's roses are known for their large heads and long, straight stems.

Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the United States alone.

The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country.

My family has TV now.

There are radios, says Yolanda Kishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.

To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news.

In recent years, local growers in the United States faced huge competition from international flower companies.

Many have even lost their businesses.

Lena Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father predicted the situation in the 1980s.

I see a freight train coming down the track, he warned her, and it's coming straight towards us.

Her father's prediction, sadly, has largely come true In a globalized world,

what happens in one place often has far -reaching effects

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
