And yet it is not just the immediate outcome of the negotiation which is at stake but also the possibility of a positive, ongoing business relationship. Here's a simple example: "don’t mix business and pleasure, "we say, thinking ourselves to be efficient and virtuous." But trying to negotiate with that attitude in some other cultures may well cause consternation in your host. This in turn will result in cross-cultural imitation and may well put future relationships under a cloud. So, the first rule should be to study the culture of the people with whom you are going to negotiate.Dr. Rod Steiner, assistant lecturer, Department of Business Studies, South Australian Institute technology.South Australian Institute of TechnologyDepartment of Business Studies44 Berwick StAdelaide Australia 5066November 24, 2006Dear Dr. SteinerI read your article “cross-cultural Communication in Business Negotiations" with a great deal of interest. I am a postgraduate language/business student at the University of Adelaide, and I have also had some experience living and studying in Japan.You are absolutely right when you highlight possible "cross-cultural irritation. In our culture, we would never associate business transactions of any type with drinking alcohol and going to nightclubs. However, that’s more or less the normal way of doing things in Japan.I hope to specialize in this area of study-I mean, in cross-cultural communication and that's why I have chosen also tostudy some foreign languages. If you have any suggestions for further reading, could you please let me know?Thanks for your attention.Julie Luddon1. What does the article suggest?A. To take a course in international business relationships at the instituteB. Always to be alert of hints that can damage an ongoing business relationshipC. Not to mix business and pleasure when dealing with any cultureD. To know the culture of your business counterpart答案:D(这篇文章建议了解商业对方的文化)2. In the article the word “consternation" "in Paragraph 2, Line 3 is closest in meaning toA. alarmB. admirationC. fearD. assurance答案:A(吃惊)3. What does Ms. Luddon want to do?A. Inquire about the source of information mentioned in the articleB. Contradict what Doctor Steiner wrote in his articleC. Learn as many languages as possibleD. Pursue her studies in cross-cultural communications答案:D(继续学习跨文化交流)4. What can be inferred about Julie Luddon?A. She is writing a book about cultural negotiationsB. She has already received a bachelor’s degreeC. She is studying to become a university professor.D. She wants to work in a foreign country答案:B(Julie Luddon已经获得了学士学位)5.

Talks between each side's legal representatives have been ensuing for about a month now.

The major area of dispute is that Frecopy claims that they legally licensed the use of the main substances from Dwean to make the medication for minors; however, they claim they were unaware of the legal dosage required under the FDA regulations since Dwean is the main applicant with the FDA. However, Dwean claims Frecopy was fully aware of the legal dosage in talks prior to the actual licensing agreement signing.Recently, analysts have downgraded both companies in their equity reports and say that the two companies should proceed with caution and do their best to work out a settlement with the FDA and each other quickly and quietly.

Soon after the crew started work, there were many signs that warned me of bad things to come. I realize now that I should have taken those signs seriously and put a stop to the project to minimize the damage that it has since caused.In summary, the entire project has been a huge catastrophe. Firstly, the crew showed lit professionalism by being late in meeting their starting times on a daily basis and took long breaks during crucial stages, which caused extra work for everyone else. As well, certain areas requiring supervision were left unattended for long periods of time, and considerable garbage was left in areas that were not designated for waste removal.These issues have caused much stress to our employees and reduced the productivity of our office over these weeks. Our staff has expressed their discomfort, their feelings of being unsafe and have wasted precious time cleaning up after your company's crew instead of doing their regular work.Mr. Warner, I have left many messages about this on your voice-mail but have not heard back. I am astonished and extremely disappointed at the performance and quality of the work being done and the lack of responsiveness from your company to my calls.This letter serves to confirm the immediate end to your company's contract with us.

I have been out of theoffice on a family emergency and have been unable to retrieve my messages in the few days. I have just returned and have listened to your messages and read your letter.There is no excuse for the lack of professionalism is and poor performance shown by the crew from our organization. The assigned crew was a new team subcontracted from a source that I thought was very reliable. Normally, our senior supervisor would have worked alongside the crew on this project but, due to extenuating circumstances, could not. I am shocked and severely sorry for the troubles this has caused, and to the reputation of my company.Please accept my deepest apologies and our offer to complete the work properly immediately--with payment for hard costs only. (Our labor and other fees will be waived entirely.) 'You have my personal commitment that the project will be completed at the highest quality with my direct supervision.I will give you a call in the morning hopefully to be able to discuss this proposal with you and to convince you to allow us to finish this project.1.

第1章托业考试阅读部分考试指南
美国教育考试服务处(ETS)在1979开发了TOEIC考试,中国自2002年开始托业考试。
托业考试在2006年进行了改革,颁布了《TOEIC(托业)考试整体改革方案(中国大陆地区)》,实施新托业考试,其中托业考试的阅读部分改变了一些考查形式。
1.1 托业考试简介
TOEIC托业考试(Test of English for International Communication)是由美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)开发的、专门针对在国际工作环境中使用英语交流的人们的英语能力的测评标准和考试。
TOEIC托业考试的试题是从世界上所有在工作环境中使用英语的国家进行收集,从口语和写作语言的样本开发出来的,其内容涵盖了广泛的日常交流和商务活动,其主题包括:商务会见、合同、谈判、市场营销、产品销售、企划、会议、制造、工厂管理、金融、预算、银行、投资、董事会议、求职、客户沟通等。
TOEIC考试被众多的公司采用,从中小企业,到跨国公司、政府机构,在许多行业和区域运行。
作为一个重要的管理工具,TOEIC托业考试帮助企业做出重大的人事决定。
中国劳动和社会保障部职业技能鉴定中心根据美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)的建议,组织专家制定出职业英语水平等级标准。
考生参加TOEIC托业听力阅读考试或托业桥考试将有机会获得职业英语水平等级证书(B类);若考生同时参加TOEIC托业听力阅读考试和TOEIC口语写作考试,将会获得职业英语水平等级证书(A类)。
托业听力阅读考试采用计算机考试的形式,成绩由考生回答正确的试题数量决定。
答错
不扣分。
听力和阅读部分的正确答案数量将分别转换成一个介于5~495分区间的分值,总分为10~990分。
TOEIC托业考试没有设置通过线,没有及格与不及格之分。
TOEIC托业考试是基于统计数据的能力测评考试,而不是基于特定教学大纲的考试。
考生究竟要达到什么分数才算合格,完全取决于他/她期望供职机构的职位要求。
此外,托业考试成绩的有效期由成绩使用机构自行决定。
1.2 托业考试阅读部分题型调整说明
2006年进行了改革,ETS公布了《TOEIC(托业)考试整体改革方案(中国大陆地区)》,对托业考试进行了调整。
其中托业考试阅读部分的变化主要有三处:①移除第六部分错误识别的问题;②在第六部分添加文章内容填空问题;③将第七部分分为单篇阅读理解和交叉阅读理解。
新旧托业阅读部分对比:
整体来说,新(TOEIC)托业考试的设计是更接近当今语言测评的理论,同时测验题目更为接近当今的职场环境。
在改革后的考试中,考生有机会证明自己是否具备在现实生活中应用英语的技巧。
1.3 托业考试阅读部分命题分析与应试技巧
阅读部分总共有三大题,100小题。
考生须阅读多种题材的文章,然后回答相关问题。
考试时间为75分钟,考生在时限内依自己能力调配阅读及答题速度。
1.3.1 完成句子命题分析与应试技巧
这部分主要考查语法和词汇方面的知识。
其中不需要阅读全文,只要浏览空格的前后部分就可以找出答案的题目占40%,主要考查与名词、介词、不定式、代词、关系代词等相关的语法知识与词汇。
其考查形式是从四个选项中选出最适合填入短文空白处的一项。
完成句子的题型可分为:
①语法题:测试对日常生活或商业活动中常用到的基本语法知识的掌握程度。
针对语法题,需要分析句子结构。
根据句子结构判断应填入的词;若选项中含有两个或以上同词性的词,需要一一代入,然后分析全句。
例:
107. There is now increased competition among motor-vehicle manufacturers _____ has resulted in better cars at lower prices.
(A) those
(B) what
(C) that
(D) where
【答案】C
【解析】句意为:现在汽车制造商之间的竞争日益激烈,导致汽车质量提高,价格却更低廉。
这里考查的是关系代词的选择。
空格处引导定语从句,且从句中谓语动词has resulted 缺少主语,选项中能引导定语从句,且作从句主语的只有that,that是先行词competition 的关系代词,故选择C。
②词汇题:测试能否正确分析全句,进行基本交流。
词汇题需要准确理解选项所给词汇的含义,分析并理解题干,选出符合句意的选项。
因此考生应积累一定的语法知识和词汇量。
例:
126. Conference participants interested in industrial development should _____ schedule a visit to Bridgeville’s factories.
(A) practically
(B) definitely
(C) recently
(D) fortunately
【答案】B
【解析】句意为:对产业发展有兴趣的与会人员,请一定参观Bridgeville工厂。
此处需要选择副词来修饰动词schedule,符合题意的是B项definitely(一定,务必),意为“务必安排,务必参加”。
practically实际地;几乎;事实上。
recently最近;新近。
fortunately 幸运地。
B、C、D均不符合语境。
③语法+词汇题:不仅要正确理解句子结构,还要掌握句意。
做这类题时,需要先分析句子结构,排除选项中不符合要求的,然后再选出复合句意的选项。
例:
104. In March, the Grand Symphony Orchestra will present an _______ opera by talented newcomer Maria Cruz.
(A) excite
(B) excites
(C) excited
(D) exciting
【答案】D
【解析】句意为:Grand交响乐团将在3月份时奉献一场由很有才华的新秀Maria Cruz 创作的精彩歌剧。
定冠词an和名词之间填入的应该是形容词,排除A项和B项,空格处修饰的是表示事物的“歌剧”,所以应选择形容词exciting(令人兴奋的)。
C项excited通常
用来修饰人,表示“兴奋的;激动的”。
总结:做这部分可以先看问题的选项,由选项推测问题。
因为出题的形式在某种程度上已经固定了,所以先看选项再由选项推测问题,就能够较快地答题。
因为节省时间是最重要的,所以先做可以马上找到答案的题目,不确定答案的问题先在试卷上做标记,答完其他问题后再做。
1.3.
2. 短文填空命题分析与应试技巧
短文填空的考查形式是从四个选项中选出最适合填入短文空白处的一项。
每篇文章下设三道题。
短文填空文章的类型包括电子邮件、书信和新闻等,因为新闻包括新闻报道和广告等,所以内容比较广泛。
这一部分看似是Part 5完成句子和Part 7文章的结合体,但是题型大体可分为三类:一是不需要阅读全文、只要浏览空格前后部分就可以找出答案的题目;二是需要通读全文、把握文意后进行解答的题目;三是需要结合文意和语法进行回答的题目。
与Part 5类似,这一部分也考查词汇、语法题,所以需要考生在掌握一定的词汇语法的基础上,理解整篇文章的内容。
在做题时,不要孤立地针对个别句子寻找答案,要纵观全文,掌握文章脉络,进行推理判断。
例:
From: Helen Pierce, Dallas Engineering
To: Yolanda Spencer, Opto Technology
Subject: Meeting
Dear Yolanda,
I am writing to let you know I __150__ at the Crowne Hotel on Fort Street. I。
