2Passage Two
Questions are based on the following passage.
　　The "new economic order" is a global one. Policymakers, educators, business, and .industry are all concerned with strengthening the United States for competition in this new arena (舞台)Career education has generally focused on helping people understand-the relationship between education and work and acquire employability skills. Now people need assistance in realizing the opportunities and meeting the challenges of the international workplace.
　　The evolving global economy is based on a number of factors: decreasing transportation and communications 'costs, new political structures and economic alliances. The most important influence is the emergence of flexible, information-based technologies. Profound economic and social changes are creating new market standards (productivity, quality, variety, customization,convenience, timeliness)and integrating producers and consumers into networks for delivering goods and services globally or locally.

Rewards will be based more on the performance of teams and networks.
　　A number of the skills needed for work in the global economy are reflected in current curricular emphases such as development of critical thinking skills, tech preparation, the integration of vocational and academic education.
