Some trade barriers will always exist as long as any two countries have different sets of laws. However, when a country decides to protect economy by erecting artificial trade barriers, the result is often dam-mi: to everyone, including those people whose barriers were meant protect.
The Great Depression of the 1930s for example spread around the world when the United States decided to erect trade barriers to protect local producers. As other countries retaliated trade plundered jobs were lost and the world entered into a long period of economic decline.
Вариант 5: Multitasking
From the earliest time people have been trying to do several things simultaneously. They can read a book, cook dinner, talk on the phone and do many other things at the same time. As cars have become - gm able, the time of multitasking has increased: people drive, listen to the radio, eat, and smoke in their cars at the same time.
Now an arsenal of new technology (from notebook computers |b cellular phones and portable televisions) makes it possible for everyone to multitask all day.
The computer industry introduced the word "multitasking" into the vocabulary. Mainframe computers that handled networks were the original multitaskers. Apple's and Microsoft's software turned millions of personal computers into multitaskers. Today millions of people can set their personal computers to multitask while they are themselves multitasking: talking on the phone, receiving faxes, and looking through newspapers at the same time.
While multitasking is not bad for computers, it may be a bad thing for some people. Psychologists say it is possible for the human brain to process two or more tasks at the same time, but only one of them reserves full attention. Multitasking makes people's stressful lives even more stressful. Experts say that although a lot of people believe that multitasking enhances their productivity, in fact it can reduce it.
Because of the limitation of the human brain, multitasking can lead to many mistakes. Indeed, a person who is doing several things at the same time may put the wrong number in a spreadsheet or send a message to the wrong e-mail address. Moreover, people on the other end of the line don't usually like to talk to a person who is doing something else while talking to them. It may alienate the people from the multitasked.
Multitaskers also like to do more than one thing at once even their leisure time. They cannot watch television without readings newspaper or have dinner without watching TV.
Now multitasking takes place nearly everywhere. A lot of businessmen and managers are never far from their notebook computer and cellular telephones. They are almost always doing two or three things at once, driving and dialing, speaking and typing on their computers. On airplanes they are using their notebook computers to answer e-mail messages. While driving, they are speaking on their cellular phones. "Why wait?" they ask. "That's the world we live in right now
Вариант 6: Pattern of Multitasking
Edwina went back to the beginning. What were the obvious facts? The first was that money was missing. The second was that the amount was six thousand dollars. The third obvious fact was that Juanita Nunez knew the exact amount of money missing from her cash drawer after almost five hours of transactions and before she had balanced out cash. Everyone who knew about the loss agreed it was impossible,
But was it impossible? Edwina got up. "Mr. Tottenhoe, will you come with me, please?"
They crossed the floor. Juanita Nunez was accepting a deposit Edwina said quietly, "Mrs. Nunez, when you've dealt with this customer, please put up your 'position closed' sign and lock your cash drawer."
Juanita did not speak while transferring a small metal plaque to the counter as instructed.
Edwina asked, "Mrs. Nunez, you've been insisting that you always know the amount of cash you have. Do you know how much is in you drawer now?"
Juanita hesitated. Then she nodded, unable to speak.
Edwina handed her a slip of paper. "Write down the amount'" After visible hesitation Juanita took a pencil and wrote, "$23,765".
Edwina passed the slip to Tottenhoe. "Please go with Mrs. Nunez and stay with her until she balances out today's pare the result with this figure."
Three quarters of an hour later Tottenhoe reappeared. He put the slip of paper on Edwina's desk.
"The figure was right?" Edwina asked."Exactly right," Tottenhoe replied.
