They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptionsmistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that ones own cultures way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. Its ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, its necessary to study the different elements (组成部分) of culture：language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.LanguageA knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly.Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly.Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and AttitudesValues are peoples basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example，many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.Customs and MannersCustoms are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad (色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. Its not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesnt sell well because the French dont usually drink juice with breakfast.语篇解读成功的国际商人之所以能取得成功，一个重要原因是他们能够理解不同的民族文化，并能够根据不同的文化而改变自己的行为。针对如何避免每个人心中由来已久的“民族优越感”，文章就态度和价值观及风俗习惯等几方面提出了建议。1A knowledge of the local language allows international business people_.A. to be more open with their customersB. to communicate without outside helpC. to express their thoughts indirectlyD. to have a better idea of their own culture2The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of_.A. mannersB. valuesC. attitudes D. customs3What would be the best title for the text?A.

That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missing computer s screen and even to set a spoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, but this is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by visiting a website, which sends a message to the model: a red and yellow “lost or stolen” sign appears on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thief closes it. “One customer sent a message saying，You are being tracked. I am right at your door ，” said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message.For example, the laptop s speakers will say: “Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, report me now.”The Retriever software package, which costs $ 29.95 but has a free trial period, has the functions of many security software programs.Owners can remotely switch to an alternative password if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on the internet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use of laptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.语篇解读随着社会的发展，使用手提电脑的人越来越多，而盗窃手提电脑的行为也变得猖獗。本文介绍了一种新版本的电脑软件，电脑拥有者能够在程序中输入声音，一旦电脑被盗，只要被打开，它就会有规律地提醒盗贼，电脑不是他的，或者帮助主人发泄愤怒。5The expression “to give the thief a piece of their mind” can be understood as“_”A. to give the thief an alert mindB. to express the owners anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of his conscienceD. to make the thief give up his mind6Different from other security software, Retriever can_.A. record the stealing processB. help recognize the lost laptopC. lock down the computer remotelyD. send a spoken message7One function of the program is that it allows the owner to_at a distance.A. change some access details for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of an alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop8Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.IV .用所给单词的适当形式填空1White is the_(convention) color of a wedding dress in western countries.2It is not a physical but a_(spirit) hurt to her for us to take away her baby.3.
