Cross cultural awareness and an understanding of foreign etiquette is important if you want to succeed as an international business person. Behaviour that is polite at home may be considered rude in another country. In particular, by learning about dining etiquette and table manners, you can avoid offending people and this candirectly influence your business success.John Smith’s book The Perfect Guest is a goldmine of information for the globe - trotting business person. There are chapters dedicated to all the main problem areas of dining etiquette and entertaining in different countries and tips on how to cope with embarrassing situations.These are some of the areas which are covered in the book.Seating arrangementsWhether you are eating at a restaurant or at someone’s home, there may be a fixed protocol of who sits where. Do men and women sit together? Is there a hierarchy according to age or status? Rules vary greatly. For example, in Korea, it is customary to offer the best seat to the most senior person; in the US, there are no specific seating rules. If you don’t know where to sit, wait until your host shows you.ConversationIs the dining table the right place to have a conversation or is the meal taken in silence? In France, for instance, the meal is a social affair with loud animated conversations and most topics are acceptable, including business. In Japan or Vietnam, on the other hand, only quiet conversation is acceptable and business is never conducted at the dinner table.FoodWhat type of food is popular? Is it polite to remark on the food?

The passage mainly tells us .A. cross cultural dining etiquetteB. cultural differences around the worldC. how to improve cultural awarenessD. why the book is worth buyingCUnlike reading and TV, modem devices are interactive rather than passive. Their connectivity to the outside world breaks into the bedroom. “They are causing sleep procrastination,” says Matthew Walker, a professor at the Univers ity of California.Experts say we need between 30 minutes and an hour of preparation before going to sleep to give our minds a chance to unwind from the stresses of the day. Things like reading a book, having a hot drink or doing a repetitive task like counting sheep all help. But when we pick up our phones, we are undoing that preparation our brains need by extending the day — together with all the stress and worry from it into our night-time hours.“We might feel perfectly sleepy and could drop off easily if the power went out and our phones didn’t work,” he says. “But when we pick up these devices it allows us to put off sleep. Often people will get into bed, someone will ping them on Facebook or send an email, and before they know it 20 to 30 minutes has gone.” “Sending a text message or checking your email means you are waiting for a response. Then once you put it down by your bedside, if you leave the phone on, there are all the pings, dings and other sounds that can wake you up during the night.”It appears there is a marked difference between staying up late with a goodbook or watching television in bed and using smartphones, tablets and laptops. The way we interact with electronic devices allows them to eat into far more of the time we should be asleep, according to researchers.28.

What does the last paragraph imply?A. There’s difference in the way we sleep.B. Reading or watching TV can help sleep.C. People spend too much time on the phone.D. We sleep much less using electronic devices.DSpider monkeys have long, thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruitsaren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.32.
