32、rom Women in Many WaysTraditionally, men and women were seen as opposite poles of a magnet. Men were strong, women were weak; men were the breadwinners, women were the homemakers; men were rational, women were emotional. In accordance with these beliefs, men fi lled the leadership positions in socie

33、ty, as well as the majority of positions that required courage, clear-thinking and intellect. Women took on the nurturing, caring or supportive jobs such as nurse, teacher, assistant. However, modern society has greatly challenged these perceived differences between men and women.These days gender r

34、oles are becoming less clear. Women are moving into the male-dominated occupations and proving that they can be equally successful in these fields. Moreover, some men are taking on the homemaker role and finding that it suits them. In some cultures, for example the Naxi culture of southwestern China

35、, women have always been the head of the household and responsible for both work and finance.So, are men and women really all that different? From the changing perspectives toward this question, it would seem that socialization plays a large role in defining masculinity and femininity in any given t

36、ime period and in any given culture. In other words, perhaps men and women are not that different after all.Unit2Importance of Culture in BusinessCulture plays an important role in business. In different cultures there are different ideas about when meetings should be scheduled, how much notice shou

37、ld be given, where people should be seated and how the negotiations should proceed. During the negotiations there are also vast cultural differences in what is considered appropriate language, communication style and body language. For example, some cultures value eye contact, others do not. Some cu

38、ltures use “yes” as an acknowledgement of what the person has said, others use “yes” only for agreement. Social conventions of greeting, dressing, eating and entertaining also vary considerably amongst cultures and these are important to learn since a lot of business takes place while having dinner

39、or enjoying drinks together. If a businessman attempts a cross-cultural business partnership without an adequate awareness of his associates culture, he is likely to encounter misunderstanding and may even cause offence. This will damage and may even end the business relationship. Therefore, cultura

40、l differences must be carefully handled when a business man is doing business with people from different countries.Unit3Fighting Against PiracyNowadays the problem of piracy has become increasingly serious. Not only is there a serious lack of knowledge amongst the general public about piracy issues,

41、 but there is also an attitude of indifference.These days piracy is strongly evident in the commercial world in the wide availability of illegal softwares and DVDs, the inclusion of copyrighted pictures, web graphics, video clips and magazine portions in business presentations and the photocopying o

42、f books and articles for distribution without the authors permission.The negative consequences of piracy are two-fold. Firstly, the copyright owners are likely to suffer significant financial losses. Secondly, the copyright owner loses recognition, if the source of the material is unacknowledged.The

43、refore it is important for all citizens to become educated about piracy issues, to follow copyright laws in their own lives, and to encourage their colleagues and friends to do the same.Unit4The Importance of Learning Spoken EnglishIn todays modern world, learning spoken English has many advantages.

44、 English is fast becoming the international language of many fields, including politics, business and education. Not only is English used between native speakers and non-native speakers, but it is also used increasingly as a common language in interactions between non-native speakers.Having a good g

45、rasp of spoken English helps you to improve your chances of employment. These days, there are many foreign companies operating in China, and many Chinese-owned companies have trade links with foreign partners. These companies require speakers of English with sufficient language skills to ensure smoo

46、th business transactions.Spoken English also provides the chances for you to communicate socially with people from many other countries. It gives you a window into other cultures, and other perspectives of the world. It also gives you access to foreign films, TV programs, music and news.Therefore, s

47、poken English is an important and fundamental tool in todays global village.Unit5Business EthicsCreating and sustaining an ethical corporation isnt as difficult as you might think; its actually easier than some of the day-to-day business challenges you face. The keys to running an ethical company ar

48、e accountability, honesty, and information transparency.Corporations arent ethical or evil in and of themselves but people can be. So ethics must focus on you and the people you work with. Most people want to do the right thing, but organizational structure does not guarantee they will do the right

49、thing, without meaning to or even knowing it. Structuring an ethical corporation makes the goal easier to achieve.The challenge could not be more urgent. A substantial majority of people in China are dissatisfied with the social behavior of our corporations, say several recent news reports. Poor tre

50、atment of workers at home and abroad, products that dont perform as advertised, fake commodities, poor customer service, environmental pollution, to mention a few.Responsible behavior is important to your business success, but lets not forget that youre in business youre not out to solve the worlds

51、problems. So how do you balance the two? What does it mean to be ethical in business?It simply requires that you follow your best moral instincts, even in areas that dont appear to involve moral issues, such as cost-benefit analyses. But while good ethics often equates to good business, sometimes it

52、 doesnt. Sometimes being truly ethical means giving up something you want in exchange for doing the right thing. Thats why we worry about ethics in the first place if it didnt cost us anything, everyone would be ethical all the time.Unit6Sports and Psychological HealthSports and Psychological Health

53、 Sports do much good to our health. They can be of especially great value to our psychological health. People who are involved in athletics feel more self-sufficient and confident in their abilities. They often feel they are in control of their own actions. Sports offer people an opportunity to feel

54、 more competent, self-reliant and able to achieve their goals. Sports demand not only physical skill and strength but also courage, enthusiasm, discipline and usually teamwork. For people, what is learned on the playground often has a deep effect on their character. If each of them learns to work fo

55、r his team and not for himself on the football field, he is more likely to find it natural to work for the good of his country instead of only for his own benefit.Paychological problems are common among college students. For example, some of tham have great touble concentrating on study, some of the

56、m dont feel much like eating and thus lose much weight,some feel irritated and often have fights with their friends, while others suffer more bouts of depression and alienation.The WHO has estimated that “one in four patients visiting a health service has at least one mental, neurological or behavio
