In Brazil Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hourstheres no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls. In Singapore Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respecteD.This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank. In the United Arab Emirates In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented. In Switzerland The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.1.The passage is mainly about _.A.communication typesB.the workplace atmosphereC.customs and social mannersD.living conditions and standards2.Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?A.They put efficiency in the first place.B.They dislike face-to-face communication.C.They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.D.They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.3.In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?A.When greeting seniorsB.When meeting the host aloneC.When attending a presentationD.When dining with business partners.4.In which country do people care about where to put their hands at the dinner table?A.In BrazilB.In SingaporeC.In the United Arab EmirateD.In Switzerland BCara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in the U. S. Last Thursday, she didnt go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Caras father is a film director. Cara says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and Candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up.

They believe that their family members, especially their parents, dont know them as well their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in childrens growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose their childrens friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?Who choose your friends?Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?Have you got a good friend your parents dont like?9:When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to _.A.go to their friendsB.talk with their parentsC.have a discussion with their familyD.talk with their friends on the phone10:Which of the following is DIFFERENT in meaning from the sentence “Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.”?A.Some parents may even not allow their children to meet their good friends.B.Some parents may even ask their children to stay away from their good friends.C.Some parents may even not let their children meet their good friends.D.Some parents may want their children to stop to meet their good friends.11:Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A.Parents should like everything their children enjoy.B.In all families, children can choose everything they like.C.Parents should try their best to understand their children better.D.Teenagers can only go to their friends for help.12:The main idea of this passage is that _.A.Teenagers need friendsB.Friends can give good adviceC.Parents often choose their childrens friends for themD.Good friends can communicate with each other DMany facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded(包围)by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream,at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,or are always allowed to choose what they eat,they will go for sweet and salty foods every time,and this will carry on throughout their lives. There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣),it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports. The above are the main reasons for this problem,and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.13:According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?A.Those who often take exercise.B.Those who often watch television.C.Those who often have meals at home.D.Those who often walk to school.14:The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because _.A.their parents often cook meals for themB.they are too busy to go out and playC.they cant choose what to eatD.there are too many fast food shops around15:The word“steering”underlined in the last sentence most probably means _.A.forcingB.guidingC.drivingD.moving七选五根据短文内容 ,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案,选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why is setting goals important? 16Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 17.Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Thank of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination (目的地) in mind which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be? 18. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set and they arent difficult to reach . 19. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. 20. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particularly way, you are able to make yourself know situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.A. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve itB. Winners in life set goals and follow through C. Its up to you to find out what your goals really are D. Its difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a mapE. Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life.F. By setting goals you are taking control of your lifeG. Goals are difficult to set and they are difficult to reach.完形填空阅读短文,从短文后所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案 My names Jim Shelley and Im an addict(有瘾的人).With these words I began to_21_the problem, the problem of my telephone addiction.
