Текст с заданиями по теме "Экономика"

Economic Development The words the economy are words we hear or read almost every day. For example, we may say that the world economy is `in the doldrums`, or ‘the European economy is making little progress out of recession’ or ‘the UK economy is beginning to recover’. But what does the economy mean? What is an economy? What happens in one? How does an economy work? The economy is a social mechanism which answers these questions. The economy means a system for the management, use and control of the money, goods and other resources of a country, community or household. Economic progress in Britain was rapid for most of the postwar period. The average annual increase in GDP (Grass Domestic Product) was 3.4% in 1950s and 4.6% in the 1960s. This strong growth was due to export successes. In the 1970s the average growth rate slowed down to 2.1%. In the last decade economic development improved and British industry began to recover from a recession. Analysts tried to predict the economic development for the period between 1986 and 1995. They expected Britain’s annual growth rate of GNP about 2.3%. in the doldrums застоя recession спад to recover оживляться, выздоравливать to hold up well позиции control управление;регулирование;контроль community жители одного района, община household семья, домашнее хозяйство economy 1) экономика 2) экономия to be due to объясняться rapid быстрый recession рецессия, спад increase GDP внутренний валовой продукт average увеличивать средний в упадке, в состоянии выстоять, сохранять свои общество замедляться развитие 1) Найдите в правой колонке русские соответствия следующих слов: 1.world economy 2.to mean 3.to work 4.goods 5.resource 6.country 7.community 8.growth 9.success 10.to slow down 11.decade 12.development 13.to predict мировая экономика работать страна успех товары предсказывать, прогнозировать десятилетие означать рост ресурс 2) Напишите определение термина «the economy» согласно тексту. 3) Отметьте все верные утверждения. 1.
