The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts.Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderst anding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.(1) What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment?A、The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation.B、The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.C、The man who is wealthy and impersonal.D、The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.(2) According to the passage, international business negotiation involves.A、short-term goalsB、long-term benefitsC、information and cashD、persuasion and compromise(3) In the foreign negotiators’eyes their American counterparts are.A、impersonal suppliers of information and cashB、skillful in negotiationC、good at establishing relationship between negotiatorsD、indirect and impatient(4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A、Foreign negotiators are willing to invest time in relationship between negotiators.B、American negotiator's directness and impatience cause cross-cultural misunderstanding.C、Americans has played a more effective role in international business negotiations.D、Foreign negotiators think that American can afford to pay the price without bargaining(5) What is the topic of this passage?A、The differences between American negotiators and foreign negotiatorsB、Negotiation skillsC、International business and cross-cultural communicationD、Cross-cultural understanding

根据以下内容,回答202-206题。The Daily InquirerOctober 8Book Review of Anne Narazaki'sNew Century, New BusinessReviewed by John GilliamAnne Narazaki's recent book, New Century, New Business, seeks to examine the new tech-nologies that are critical for global business and how they affect today's corporate transactions. Ms.Narazaki argues that while economic transactions of one kind or another have taken place for thou-sands of years, the impact of changing technology on business has become obvious only recently. In fact, as new technologies have grown more prevalent, Ms. Narazaki observes, international busi-nesses have increased in size and number. At the same time, the time required to conduct each business transaction has decreased.Mr. Narazaki illustrates her observations with detailed examples of recent business transac-tions. Citing the merger of Poynter Technologies and Carce Company, which created the largest fi-nancial services company in the world, Ms. Narazaki explains the effect technology has on the val-uation of a company, on communication between the managements of different companies, and on stock and funds trading.Those of us who take an interest in the interaction between business and technology will find Ms. Narazaki's ideas persuasive. The view that business cannot survive without keep~ing up with new technology has become today's corporate reality.In the article, the word "critical" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to (  )。A.growingB.sensitiveC.disapprovingD.important

People are indulging in an illusion whenever they find themselves explaining at a cocktail(鸡尾酒)party,say,that the are“in computers,”or“in telecommunications,”or“in electronic funds transfer”.The implication is that they are part of the high-tech world.Just between us,they usually aren’t.The researchers who made fundamental breakthroughs in those areas are in a high-tech business.The rest of us are( )of their work.We use computers and other new technology components to develop our products or to organize our affairs.Because we go about this work in teams and projects and other tightly knit working group(紧密联系在一起的工作小组),we are mostly in the human communication business.Our successes stem from good human interactions by all participants in the effort,and our failures stem from poor human interactions.A.creatorsB.innovatorsC.appliersD.inventors

共用题干Changes in MuseumsMuseums have changed.They are no longer places that one"should"visit;they are places to enjoy and learn.At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan(大城市的)Museum of Art in New York City , you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music.At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently,you can help make a bone-by- bone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur(恐 龙),a beast that lived 200 million years ago.More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example,there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.Leon F.Twiggs,a young black professor of art once said,"They see things in a new and different way.They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate(参加)in."The same is true of science and history.When visiting museums nowadays,people can take part in many activities.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos (禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. Yon may feel flee to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements. For them, arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent (智慧的) manner. In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, China, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious (和谐的) business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children. As general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion (宗教) with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.The author considers politics and religion ().A、cheerful topicsB、taboosC、rude topicsD、topics that can never be talked about

问答题Firstly, the understanding of certain backgrounds is of great significance to the cross-cultural communication. There are two kinds of communication between human beings: one is extroverted, the other is introverted. Like the computer programs, the extroverted communication processes according to the well-edited programs, or it can’t work. On the contrary, communication with the introverts is like that between the twin brothers or sisters, because they have tacit understanding and only need simple sentences or phrases in their conversations.
