1 ! When you! purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think 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 away from where it was grown. The country that " dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world s cut flowers. And its auction houses are # very large indeed Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is an auction house in the sense that Tokyo is a city, or Everest a mountain. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main building. Nineteen 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 natural fragrance of the flowers. Despite the Netherlands dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Dávalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador s flower industry. 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 renowned for their large heads and long, straight stems. Every ' year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. My family has a TV now. There are radios, says Yolanda Quishpe, 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 U.S. have ) faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many have lost their businesses. Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the
2 situation in the 1980s. I see a freight train* coming down the track, he warned her, and it s coming straight towards us. (Source: Flower Trade by Vivienne Walt, National Geographic Creative.

According to paragraph 1, which of the following is true?! Despite new technology, cut flowers are often damaged because of their long-distance transportation. " Advanced technology has made it possible to import flowers grown all over the world. # Fresh-cut flowers are no longer available in local markets because they are exported. $ The number of people who enjoy delicate flowers has increased by the thousands.

The flower industry in Ecuador has created jobs and raised people s living standard. " The Netherlands is the most ideal place for growing flowers. # The only thing that Ecuador s roses need is a lot of sunlight each day. $ Ecuador s roses are much smaller than the roses grown in the Netherlands. $ According to paragraph 5, which of the following is true?! Lina Hale works for a flower company located in Ecuador. " Roses from Europe are transported to American markets by freight train. # In the 1980s, Lina Hale s father had no idea that his business would suffer in the future. $ Flower growers in the U.S. are in trouble because of increased international competition.
