The World Trade Organization (WTO). founded on January 1, 199S, aims to en courage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade agree-ments are respected and that any disputes (争端) can be settled.

In the five years since its founding, the WTO has become well-known as one of the world’s most powerful economic (经济的) organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

The system (制度) of global rules for international trade, however, dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs (关税) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War II.

As time went by it became clear that the GATT had two major drawbacks-the limit-ed areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994. the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property (知识产权).

Even after seven years of talks and 22500 pages of agreements there were still prob-[ems, especially the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services.

The WTO. with its head office in Geneva, has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.

Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, lhe wind become strong and visibility (能见度) dropped. A return to base was or dcrcd. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, lhe Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100 000 square-mile area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.

Today. people have noted (留心) the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle (百慕大三角区).

The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a particular place in the Gulf of Mcxico, west of Florida. It is a two-faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches ami heautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
