When we discuss business it starts with a(n) chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with each other first and to feel relaxed. If the exchange is too , there is a risk that something will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being when there is too much pressure.

Instead, they handed us a piece of paper with the address and put us in a taxi. I remember how scared I was. All of a sudden I was across the ocean in a city I didn't know, and I was losing confidence in my Spanish skills quickly while trying to speak with the taxi driver.As soon as we arrived at our new home in Spain, however, I knew that I was going to spend a happy, comfortable three weekslearning and exploring. We met the mother of the family we would stay with. Her name is Fina, and she greeted us warmly with a kiss on each cheek. She shares a beautiful apartment with her two daughters, Maribel and Laura. After meeting them, I was no longer worried about things.After that first day, Lily and I were ready to explore. We went down to the bus stop and bought a month long pass so that we could easily get around the city. The people of Seville were so friendly and we simply asked a passerby for directions whenever we needed them. I quickly gained confidence in my Spanish again as I practiced more and more every day. Lily and I began to grow used to Spanish life. One of the happiest moments on my trip occurred during the last week in Seville. Lily and I were walking down the street going shopping, when a Spaniard stopped to ask us for directions!The culture there is so wonderful that it is hard to want to live any other way. After the busy life in the United States, I actually had to make myself slow down. One of the things that I loved most about Spain was the fact that there is no fast food. Before school every morning, I would of course wake up too late. Then we would rushdown to the bus which we could take half-way to class.The class itself was a very exciting learning experience for me. I was so proud of myself to have taken a class entirely in Spanish, and understood what was going on. I loved the change of pace and challenged myself. My professor was a wonderful man, and made the three-hour class fly by. He had so many interesting stories about Spanish culture and life.One of the things I loved most about being in another country was meeting people from all over the world. We met students from Britain, Australia, Morocco, France, Germany, and many other countries. It was a lot of fun talking with people from so many different backgrounds and perspectives. It is hard to imagine people living so differently from the way we do in our little state of Pennsylvania.This experience is going to be helpful to my teaching because it has made me more open-minded and bold <勇敢的>. I learned that the way I am used to doing things is not always the best way. The more different perspectives and backgrounds that we can experience, the more we can learn.1.The writer's experience in Spain ________________.A. was useful in teaching her to learnB. was very helpful for herC. was her most exciting experienceD. was the start of her career2.When she arrived at the Center the first day, she expected________________.A. to meet her best friend, LilyB. to be taken to a family by the staffC. to be scared in a city she didn't knowD. to get the address to her new home3.After meeting the family, she ________________.A. did not feel worriedB. did not share the apartmentC. did not learn and exploreD. did not greet them warmly4.The writer and her friend Lily bought a month long pass forthe bus so that ________________.A. they could make friendsB. the writer could practice her SpanishC. they could explore the city easilyD. they didn't need to ask for directions5.It made the writer and Lily very happy and excited when________________.A. they practiced Spanish every dayB. a Spaniard asked them for directionsC. they did a lot of shopping in SpainD. they would stop to ask directions6.What is the thing about Spain that impressed and pleasedthe writer most? ________________A. she could go shopping oftenB. she could go to school lateC. she could not see any fast foodD. she could not wake up late7.The writer felt very proud of herself, because ________________.A. she understood her Spanish classB. she was told she was wonderfulC. she was very exciting in SpainD. she had many interesting stories8.Her professor had many interesting stories to tell, and made9.One of the things the author loved most was talking with10.She believed that her learning experience in a foreigncountry would benefit her teaching a lot because it has madePart 6 Reading Comprehension <Multiple Choice><每小题：1 分>Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. English food is thought of poorly in other countries. This is most probably because foreigners in England are often obliged <不得不> to eat in the more fast-food type of restaurant. Here it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large amounts, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment <营养>, is quite satisfactory. Still, it is rather dull and not always pleasantly presented. Moreover, the Englishman eating in a cheap or medium price restaurant is usually in a hurry <at least at lunch>, and a meal eaten in a leisurely way in pleasant surroundings is always far moreenjoyable than a meal taken quickly in a business-like environment. In general, it is possible to get a good meal at a reasonable price; in fact, such a meal may be less expensive than similar food in other countries. For those with money to spare, there are restaurants that compare favorably with the best in any country.In many countries breakfast is a snack <点心> rather than a meal, but the typical English breakfast is a full meal. Some people have a bowl of hot or cold cereal<谷物> to begin with. Then comes a large and filling course, usually cooked, such as bacon <腊肉> and eggs, or some other type of meat. Yorkshire ham <火腿> is also a breakfast many people enjoy. Afterwards comes toast, with butter and marmalade <果子酱>, and perhaps some fruit. Tea or coffee is drunk with the meal. Many English people now take such a full breakfast only on Sunday morning.1.Food in the more fast-food type of restaurant in Britain isalways _____________.A. served in large amountsB. very pleasant in appearanceC. quite acceptable for foreignersD. not so delicious2.According to the passage, English food is _______________ interms of nourishment.A. actually quite satisfactoryB. not good at allC. always very simpleD. always taken in pleasant surroundings despite its poor3.Foreigners in Britain always choose to ____________________.A. eat the most typical foodB. have a full breakfast every dayC. buy the least expensive foodD. have their meals in the more fast-food type of restaurant4.Which of the following statements is probably true?A. Englishmen always talk about time while eating.B. The same meal would be more enjoyable if eaten in betterC. It's almost impossible for any British restaurant to rankD. People can hardly get enough food at a reasonable price5.Which of the following statements is probably NOT true?A. Many Englishmen have a full breakfast only once a week.B. Typical breakfast in Britain is a meal rather than a snack.C. Englishmen are so stuck in their old ways that they have aD. English people always have tea or coffee with a fullQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.In the United States, work is influenced by laws. Laws affect how long people work, what they are paid, and the conditions under which they work. To see how important work laws are, just look back to the year 1900. At that time, there were few laws about working conditions.In those days, people would work for months and then find that the money they made had been cut. If they complained, they were fired. If they became sick, it was just too bad. There were no paid sick days and no health plans.Some factories at that time were dark, crowded, and generally awful places to work in. People in these factories worked12-to-18-hour shifts, 6 days a week for very little money. Most ofthe workers were women and children. In those days, women were generally paid half of what men were paid for doing exactly the same work. Children were given even less, so naturally, factory owners preferred hiring children. There were no health or safety laws to protect the workers. People fainted from the heat and lack of air.It took a very sad event to start getting changes. That sad event was the Triangle Fire. In 1911, the Triangle Building in New York City caught fire. The building was a dangerous place. Still, 145 people would not have died if the factory owner had not locked the doors. He did not want his workers to waste time by going outside to rest, so he locked them in. During the fire, a number of young women jumped out of the windows and died on the street. The others died inside.As a result, some important safety and health laws were passed. Now there are also laws to prevent child labor and laws to make sure that there is equal pay for equal work. Among other things, there is a limit to the number of hours in the workday and there isa minimum amount that workers must be paid.6.In America, _________________.A. laws have little influence on workB. people couldn't work without lawsC. people couldn't work without lawsD. people can change laws easily7.In the old days, if workers made complaints, they would___________.A. have their health plans taken awayB. find their money cutC. lose their jobsD. be given terrible places to work8.Factory owners preferred hiring children because_____________.A. children eat lessB. they could manage children betterC. children could do adults' workD. they paid children much less money9.Some changes took place as a result of _____________.A. a traffic accidentB. a serious diseaseC. the death of many workers in a fireD. a strike by the workers10.Now there are laws for all of the following except ___________.A. allowing workers to take holidaysB. preventing children from being employedC. making sure that there is equal pay for equal workD. limiting work hours。

In the United States, time is a real, precious resource, and every minute counts. People here are always in a rush and under pressure. There are no short conversations or small exchanges with strangers because people think it is a waste of time. Does this sound like your country If it does not, and if you don’t think you w ould like such a place, you would most likely be unhappy in the United States, where doing things quickly is seen as a skill.1.

Through his continuous efforts, I gradually came to an understanding of the meaning of commitment, which is really what love is all about.1. Her coach.2.

They had been together for two years and had learned to understand and respect each other. Recently they decided to marry and they told the news to Gail’s parents. To their surprise, they met with some resistance. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be mar rying for the wrong reasons and advised her daughter to wait. Gail’s father also opposed the marriage because he thought that Mark wasmarrying his daughter so that he could remain in the United States. Such concerns are understandable. After all, marriage across nations may have its problem of one kind or another.1. Gail’s mother was worried that they might be marrying for the wrong reason.2.

Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90% percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. In the past few years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.1. Before they turned 18.2.

For some it may simply because they come across a name that they feel is “it”. But for most people it may be a process of careful selection based on meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child. Whatever the naming method, a given name follows the child throughout his or her life. How can parents decide on a name that will satisfy them Consider the following: First, consider the area the child will grow up in when selecting a name. Second, choose a name based on some personal meaning so when th e child asks why they’re named so, the parents will have a reasonable explanation. Finally, before deciding on a name, get opinions of people around! Chances are, if your friends and family members look shocked when you share your name selection, your child will probably be horrified as well.１.Meaning, tradition, or parents’ wishes for their child.2.

1 Unit 1Time-Conscious AmericansAmericans believe no one stands still. If you are not moving ahead, you are falling behind. This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching, experimenting and exploring. Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully, the other being labor."We are slaves to nothing but the clock," it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person's hourglass, they cannot be replaced. We want every minute to count.A foreigner's first impression of the US is likely to be that everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping. Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating-places are waiting for you to finish so they, too, can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. You also find drivers will be abrupt and people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small exchanges with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting" it beyond a certain appropriate point.Many new arrivals in the States will miss the opening exchanges of a business call, for example. They will miss the ritual interaction that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be a convention in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a restaurant or coffee house. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over extended small talk; much less do they take them out for dinner, or around on the golf course while they develop a sense of trust. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. Time is, therefore, always ticking in our inner ear.Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts, which though pleasant, take longer—especially given our traffic-filled streets. We, therefore, save most personal visiting for after-work hours or for social weekend gatherings.To us the impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand. In some countries no major business is conducted without eye contact, requiring face-to-face conversation. In America, too, a final agreement will normally be signed in person. However, people are meeting increasingly on television screens, conducting "teleconferences" to settle problems not only in this country but also—by satellite—internationally.The US is definitely a telephone country. Almost everyone uses the telephone to conduct business, to chat with friends, to make or break social appointments, to say "Thank you", to shop and to obtain all kinds of information. Telephones save the feet and endless amounts of time. This is due partly to the fact that the telephone service is superb here, whereas the postal service is less efficient.Some new arrivals will come from cultures where it is considered impolite to work too quickly. Unless a certain amount of time is allowed to elapse, it seems in their eyes as if the task being considered were insignificant, not worthy of proper respect. Assignments are, consequently, given added weight by the passage of time. In the US, however, it is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem, or fulfill a job successfully, with speed. Usually, the more important a task is, the more capital, energy, and attention will be poured into it in order to "get it moving".美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

UNIT 1PASSAGE APolar Differences Between Chinese and American Cultures Americans wear black for mourning. Chinese wear white. Westerners think of dragons as monsters. Chinese honor them as representations of God. The polarities between Chinese civilization and the West often make it seem as though each stands at extreme ends of the earth. Now a University of California, Berkeley, psychologist has discovered deeper polarities between Chinese and American cultures-polarities that go to the heart of how we reason and discover truth.在丧礼上，美国人穿黑色丧服，而中国人穿白色。

西方人认为龙是怪物，而中国人把龙当成神明。

中国与西方的文明差异使它们看起来像分别站在地球的极端。

最近加利福尼亚的一所大学的心理学家伯克利发现中国和美国文化差异的更深极性，那是关于内心深处的如何理性和发现真理的极性。

His findings go far toward explaining many of the differences between Chinese and American cultures, when compared to each other. More importantly, the research opens the door for the peoples of the East and the West to learn from each other in basic ways. The Chinese would learn much from Western methods for determining scientific truth, said Kaiping Peng, a former Beijing scholar, who is now a UC Berkeley assistant professor of psychology, and Americans could profit from Chinese ways of accepting contradictions in social and personal life.他的研究结果对于解释许多中美文化比照的差异有很大的奉献。
