The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts.Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderst anding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.(1) What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment?A、The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation.B、The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.C、The man who is wealthy and impersonal.D、The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.(2) According to the passage, international business negotiation involves.A、short-term goalsB、long-term benefitsC、information and cashD、persuasion and compromise(3) In the foreign negotiators’eyes their American counterparts are.A、impersonal suppliers of information and cashB、skillful in negotiationC、good at establishing relationship between negotiatorsD、indirect and impatient(4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A、Foreign negotiators are willing to invest time in relationship between negotiators.B、American negotiator's directness and impatience cause cross-cultural misunderstanding.C、Americans has played a more effective role in international business negotiations.D、Foreign negotiators think that American can afford to pay the price without bargaining(5) What is the topic of this passage?A、The differences between American negotiators and foreign negotiatorsB、Negotiation skillsC、International business and cross-cultural communicationD、Cross-cultural understanding

第一篇Goal of American EducationEducation is an enormous and expensive part of American life.Its size is matched by its variety.Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone一not just for a privileged elite.Schools are ex- pected to meet the needs of every child,regardless of ability,and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects.It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing,sewing,radio repair,computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics,history,and languages.Students choose their curricula depending on their interests,future goals,and level of ability. The underlying goal of American edu-cation is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities,and to give each one a sense ofcivic and community consciousness.Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and"Americanizing"the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community,especially in the small towns.The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many,not only because it is informal,but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts.Instead,Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities.Students spend much time,learning how to use resource materials,libraries,statistics and computers.Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well,they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives.Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation offacts.This is America's answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-moving time:"How can one prepare today's child for a tomorrow that one can neitherpredict nor understand?"According to the passage,American education meets the needs of all the following EXCEPT_________.A:the brightest studentsB:the slow studentsC:the students from foreign countries D:the immigrants

Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.Webster remains active in promoting copyright protection throughout his life.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
