ESuccessful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas.One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s 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 communicates directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communicationWith 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 people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad. An attitude is way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. ForExample, 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 custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s 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 doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.57. A 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 culture

Patients with the highest levels were nearly eight times more likely than those with the lowest levels to have a heart attack,heart failure or stroke.3 The researchers say the presence of high levels of the protein in the blood shows that the heart muscle is under pressure in some way.The study involved mostly men,so the researchers could not say for sure that the results are also true for women.They say the patients with the highest levels of NT-proBNP were older and had other problems like diabetes or high blood pressure.4 Other researchers say more studies are needed to confirm if knowing the protein levels of a heartdisease patient should affect that person’s treatment.They also would like to know if more aggressive treatment could reduce the patient's chance of a heart attack or stroke.The study appeared in theJournal of the American Medical Association.5 Could a little sleep during the middle of the day reduce the risk of a heart attack?An unrelatedstudy earlier this month in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests that the answer may be yes.In countries like the United States,afternoon naps are mostly for children.

共用题干In Your FaceWhy is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What- ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad- ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces. Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.Theydeveloped to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won- derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work- ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before we react.There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the same everywhere.Fear is the most difficult emotion to change.A:RightB:WrongC:Not mentioned

共用题干I Know Just How You FeelDo you feel sad?Happy?Angry?You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique.Well, think again.Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified,according to Mind Reading, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion.It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel:the first visual dictionary of the human heart.Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s,when Darwin divided the emotions into six types一anger,fear,sadness,disgust,surpnse and enjoyment.__________(46)Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group.More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and there- fore more specific to each culture.But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared world- wide.__________(47)The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism(孤独症), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions.But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses.Actors and teachers,for example,need to understand a wide range of expressions.The professor and his research team first had to define an"emotion".__________(48)Using this definition,1,5 1 2 emotion terms were identified and discussed.This list was eventually reduced to 412,from"afraid"to"wanting".Once these emotions were defined and classified,a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading,each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds.__________(49)The explanation for this is simple:we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone's face."It was really clear when the actors had got it right,"says Cathy Collis,who directed the DVD."Although they were given some directions,"says Ms Collis,"the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move.__________(50)"For example,when someone feels contempt,you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American Professor Paul Ekman,who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion.The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called "action units".These can be combined into more than 10,000 visible facial shapes.Ekman has written out apattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion._________(48)A:He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone,from any culture.B:Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions,such as words,would have been far less effective.C:Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotional expressions.D:They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by"I feel" or"he looks" or"she sounds".E:We thought of trying to describe each emotion,but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.F: These particular muscles are difficult to control,and few people can do it.

共用题干Stem Cell Therapy May Help Repair the HeartAccording to scientists in the USA,stem cell therapy may one day be able to repair the hearts of people with heart failure.Researchers at Pittsburgh University School of Medicine examined 20 patients who had severe heart failure and were going to have surgery.They injected stem cells into the parts of their hearts that were damaged.They then compared their hearts with those of people who had undergone surgery without having the stem cells injected into them(they had also suffered from severe heart failure).The patients who had had the stem cells injected had hearts that were able to pump(用泵抽运) more blood than the others.According to Professor Robert Kormos,one of the researchers,these results could revolutionize heart treatment.Although previous studies had indicated that there might be a benefit,this is the first study that has actually proved that stem cell therapy can help thefailing heart work better.All the patients in this study had hearts that could not pump blood properly.The scientists measured their ejection fraction(射血分数).This is a measure of heart performance;you measure how much blood is being pumped out by the left ventricle(心室).Healthy people's ejection fraction is about 55%.These patients had ejection fraction ofunder 35%. They all had by-pass surgery(搭桥手术)performed on them. Some of the patients had stem cells taken from their hip bones and injected into 25-30 sites in the damaged heart muscle.Six months later their ejection fraction rate was 46.1%while those who just had surgery but no stem cell injections averaged 37. 2%.No side effects were reported.Heart failure is a common problem all over the world.In the UK alone about 650, 000 people suffer from heart failure every year. As the number of people suffering from heart failure increases in the world in general these findings are particularly significant.Current treatments relieve the symptoms.This new stem cell therapy actually repairs the damaged muscle in the heart and has the potential of curing the disease. Heart failure is more common in the UK than anywhere else in the world.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

共用题干第三篇Stress and Heart Diseaseif you feel stress in your life is spinning out of control,then you may be hurting your heart. If you don't want to break your own heart,you need to learn to take charge of your life where you can and recognize there are many things beyond your control.So says Dr. Robert S.Eliot. He's a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Nebraska.Eliot says there are people in this world whom he calls"hot reactors".For these people,being tense may cause tremendous and rapid increases in their blood pressure.Eliot says researchers have found that stressed people have higher cholesterol levels,among other things."We've done years of work in showing that excess alarm or stress chemicals can literally burst heart muscle fibers.When that happens it happens very quickly,within five minutes.It creates many short circuits,and that causes crazy heart rhythms.The heart beats like a bag of worms instead of a pump.And when that happens,we can't live."Eliot,64,suffered a heart attack at age 44.He attributes some of the cause to stress.For years he was a"hot reactor".On the exterior,he was cool,calm and collected,but on the interior,stress was killing him.He's now doing very well.The main predictors of destructive levels of stress are the FUD factors一fear,uncertainty and doubt一together with perceived lack of control,he says.For many people,the root of their stress is anger,and the trick is to find out where the anger is coming from."Does the anger come from a feeling that everything must be perfect?"Eliot asks.One step to calming down is recognizing you have this tendency.Learn to be less hostile by changing some of your attitudes and negative thinking.Eliot recommends taking charge of your life."If there is one word that should be substituted for stress,it's control.Instead of the FUD factors,what you want is the NICE factors一new,interest-ing,challenging experiences."He suggests that people write down the six things in their lives that they feel are the most important things they'd like to achieve.Ben Franklin did it at age 32."He wrote down things like being a better father,being a better husband,being financially independent, being stimulated intellectually and remaining even-tempered一he wasn't good at that."From Eliot's viewpoint,the other key to controlling stress is to"realize that there are other troublesome parts of your life over which you can have little or no control一like the economy and politicians.What does the term"hot reactor" refer to?A:People who are easy to get annoyed.B:People often change their moods.C:People who often quarrel with others.D:People who are cool on the exterior but stressed on the interior.

This week sees the publication of Mind Reading, an interactive DVD displaying every possible human emotion.It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel:the first visual dictionary of the human heart.The attempt to classify expressions began with Darwin.His The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals,published in 1872,divided the emotions into six types一anger,fear,sadness,disgust,surprise and enjoyment.__________(46)Every other feeling,of which there may be thousands,was thought to derive from Darwin's small group.More complex expressions of emotion were likely to be learned and therefore more specific to each culture.But now it is believed that,whereas gestures do not cross cultural boundaries well,many more facial ex-pressions than Darwin's half-dozen are shared worldwide.________(47)The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of each of these expressions being acted out.The project was conceived by Professor Simon Baron-Cohen of the autism(孤独症)research centre in Cambridge as an aid for people with autism,who has difficulty both reading and expressing emotions.But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses.Novelists,actors and portrait painters,for example,all need to understand a wide range of emotional expression,and teachers could use it for classes in personal and so- cial development. Baron-Cohen's team first had to decide what counted as an emotion._________( 48) Using this definition,1,5 12 emotion terms were identified and put to a panel who had to decide if each repre- sented a separate emotion,or if they were synonyms.This list was whittled down to 412,arranged in 24 groups from"afraid"to"wanting".Once the emotions were defined and classified,a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to dis- play them.In Mind Reading,each expression is acted out一six times,by six different actors一in three seconds. _________(49)The explanation for this is simple:we may find it difficult to describe emotions usingwords,but we instantly recognize one when we see it on someone's face."It was really clear when the actors had got it right,"says Cathy Collis,who directed the DVD."Although the actors were given some direction," says Ms Collis,"they were not told which facial muscles they should move."__________(50)For example, when someone feels contempt,you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American,Professor Paul Ekman,who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion.The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called "action units".These can be combined into more than 10,000 visible facial shapes.Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.__________(50)A:We thought of trying to describe each emotion,but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.B:These particular muscles are difficult to control,and few people can do it.C:Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read the emotional expressions.D:They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by"I feel","he looks"or" she sounds".E:He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone,from any culture.F:Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions,such as words,would have been far less effective.

问答题Practice 2  Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, your eyes used to expressing emotion. These create a film over the eye's surface. This film contains a substance that protects your eyes against infection.  Tears relieve stress, but we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. "People worry about showing their emotions. They're afraid that once they lose control, they'll never get it back," explains psychologist Dorothy Rowe." As Children we were sometimes punished for shedding tears or expressing anger. As adults we still fear the consequences of showing emotions."  Almost any emotion-good or bad, happy or sad-can cause tears. Crying is a way that we release built-up emotions. Tears help you when you feel you are ready to explode because of very strong feelings. It may explain why people who are afraid to cry often suffer more heart attacks than people who cry more freely.  When some people become very stressed, however, they can't cry. They may be feeling shock, anger, fear, or grief, but they repress the emotion. "Everyone has the need to cry," says? psychotherapist Vera Diamond. Sometimes in therapy sessions, patients participate in crying exercises. They practice crying so that they can get used to expressing emotion. Diamond says it's best to cry in safe, private places, like under the bedcover or in the car. That's because many people get uncomfortable when others cry in front of them. In fact, they may be repressing their own need to cry.  In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good to hold back tears during a tense business discussion." But once you are safely behind closed doors, don't just cry," Diamond says. She suggests that you act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better." And," she adds," once your tears have released the stress, you can begin to think of logical ways to deal with the problem."  Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. You should never be afraid to cry.

问答题【参考范例四】Birthday How do people celebrate birthdays in your culture?

问答题1)The original insight that people could be classified into Type A and Type B personalities and that Type A’s were more heart-attack prone1 grew out of research at the Framingham Heart Study laboratories in the late 1970s.  Dr. Peter Wilson, director of the Framingham laboratories, agreed in a telephone interview last week that since the early studies, the AB issue has been getting weaker. 2)A large prospective study2 (in which people are followed for years before years before they get sick) last year showed the A-B behavior distinction was not associated with coronary artery disease.Now researchers are thinking in terms of “anger in” vs. “anger out” as the latest area of concern.  Behavioral epidemiologist Elaine Eaker at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in Bethesda, one of the nation’s foremost scholars of correlations between behavior and heart disease, agrees in principle.  “There is no epidemiological evidence on hostility alone, but anger has been linked to CHD (coronary heart disease) events weakly for white collar men and more strongly for women in clerical jobs,” she said last week.  “The Type A concept is still viable because it has been a predictor of heart disease in at least two long-term studies. But recent research has shown that how you cope with anger may be the new coronary prone behavior of the future. And it’s tough to cope with anger,” she added.  3)Since holding anger inside may lead to heart trouble and since acting it out by having temper tantrums is highly antisocial, Eaker says researchers now advocate maturely “discussing” anger—either with the person who makes you angry or with a friend—as the most constructive method of dealing with explosive feelings.  4)Since the early Type A studies, researchers have been attempting to fine-tune the ways in which they can identify a person as Type A or Type B, not an easy task since people often deny or are actually unaware of some facets of their personalities and hence can not be asked point-blank if they are angry or impatient by nature .  Dimsdale used both pencil-and-paper questionnaires and a “semi-structured” interview technique to identify Type A personalities among heart patients.  In the interviews, he explained, “you ask questions slowly and sometimes even in a stammer and then see how rapidly the person will finish the sentence for you.” People who rush to answer are usually highly impatient and impatience has long been considered a major component of Type A behavior.  5)Yet, no matter whether he used the self-report questionnaires or the more subtle interview technique, people identified as The A’s did not fare worse than the others.
