Lets have a look at some important tips to help you be successful when dealing with these nationalities.First, you must be punctual (準時的) with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, its important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight oclock! With Russians, you should always be on time, though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!It is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries. In Russia, designer clothes are very common. Dont be surpri if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have “dress down Friday”, when people wear casual (隨便的) clothes.In Germany, first names are only used by family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, so use titles and last names.In conversation, the British and the Americans value humour, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British and the Americans, but avoid talking about politics. In Russia, say positive（肯定的） things about their country, but avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!So, use these tips, and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!21Which color should you NOT wear when meeting a person from the USA?A. Dark blue. B. Gray. C. Black. D. White.22. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _.A.you can say something funny when you talk to an AmericanB.you can use his first name when you talk to an EnglishmanC.you must be on time when you meet people from each of the four countriesD.people wear whatever they like on Friday in some companies in the UK23. When you talk to a Russian, you can _.A. complain about something B. say something negative about his countryC. say something good about his country D. point out some disadvantages in politics24. The tips in this passage are probably given to people from _.A. China B. the USA C. Germany D. the UKBAs a boy, Charles Robert Darwin(達爾文) collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him. His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwins interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wanted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended(推薦). That voyage was the start of Darwins great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection in order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life. Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwins great book “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection”(物種起源) appeared. It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards, he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. “When I have to give up observation, I shall die,” he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.25. Darwins father sent him to Edinburgh to _.A. make him like natural history B. make him become a doctor C. let him change his hobbies D. have him give up his collection26.According to the passage, Charles Darwins whole life was changed by _.A. his study at Cambridge University B. his collection of coins C. the naturalists at Cambridge D. the voyage of the Beagle27. The underlined part “they were descended from monkeys” probably means “_”.A. they gave monkeys life B. they were different from monkeys C. they were developed from monkeys D. they had to live with monkeysC Last summer, as part of my high school graduation project, I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home .I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping handAt first it was challenging because I was extremely shy. My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents（住客） by doing different activities from word games to playing chess. I feel as if I had accomplished that goal.At the nursing home, I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy to Wheel of Fortune. One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten -letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible. I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they playedI also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help; and whenever it was a nice day out, I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax. On Saturday mornings, I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays, I assisted with morning church services.The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one-on-one conversations with the residents. It was incredible how many great stories they had to tell. Their stories were so interesting and the experience was unforgettable for me .28.Why did the author volunteer at the nursing home ?ABecause people there helped her .BBecause she never went there before .CBecause she wanted to offer help .DBecause the old people there shared stories with her29.How did the auther feel at first with the residents ?ADisappointedBComfortable .CExcitedDNervous.30.What activity did the author and the residents prefer ?AJeopardy BWheel of FortuneCWord game DPlaying chess31.What did the author do for the residents on sunny days ?
