Perhaps you have heard the expression—when in Rome, do as the Romans do. So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws.

1.The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country’s culture and language.

The first thing you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meeting with friends, kissing is common.

Use first names only after being invited to. 2.The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.

Dress well.3.Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make-up is practised widely by businesswomen.

The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours.4.

Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate.5.This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.

B. This is a time for relationship building.

C. Remember to be as polite as possible.

D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.

E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.

F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.

G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.

2．I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with"FYI （For Your Information）"．My parents are in their late 70s，and while they are quite healthy for their ages．I worry about what messages they are going to give me．
I got such an email in September from my father．He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father，my uncle Reese，had passed away．The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life，because Reese was the first of my parents'siblings （兄弟姐妹） to die，and I was simply not ready for that．
The memorial service was set in Florida，and I quickly decided I needed to go．I needed to be there for my father，and I needed to go for myself．Reese is about nine years older than my father，and I started to do the math in my head．I know that doesn't make sense，but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I will be in my cousin's shoes．
Reese's memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends．The funeral （葬禮） was attended by an even smaller number，and then，the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese's possessions when he died．
As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport，I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want，not only in their memorial services，but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest．These are going to be difficult conversations，but I know I need to have them．Maybe not right now，but we do need to open the discussion at some point．It may feel too early，but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions，we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes．

21．Why do email s with"FYI"make the author uneasy？C
A．She's too busy to read those emails．

D．They often bring unpleasant news．
22．How did the author feel about the email from her cousin？B
A．Disappointed．B．Shocked．C．Confused．D．Annoyed．
23．What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs．C
A．A get-together was held at home．
B．Reese's friends didn't appear．
C．The author went to Florida without much hesitation．

Dear Betty,

My roommate’s family wants me to celebrate Thanksgiving Day with them in their home. I accepted the invitation, and I’m excited about going, but I’m a little nervous about it, too. The social customs in my country are different from those here, so I’m a little worried about making mistakes.

Should I bring a gift, such as candy or flowers? Should I arrive on time or a little late?  At the dinner table, how can I know which fork or knife to use? How can I let the family know that I’m thankful for their kindness?

Yours,

Knowing Nothing

Dear Knowing Nothing,

It’s a good idea to bring a gift when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always welcome, or you can bring a bottle of wine if you know the family drink it.

You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them.

Try to relax at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the right fork, knife or spoon, just watch the other guests, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, don’t be shy about asking the person next to you; it’s better to ask them than to be silently uncomfortable and nervous.

If you like the food, say so. Of course, you’ll thank the host and hostess for the meal and for their kindness. It’s also a good idea to send a card to thank them the day after.

Yours,

Betty

8．根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項．選項中有兩項為多余選項．
The art of growing dwarf trees，or"bonsai"（盆景）as their Japanese planters call them，is increasing in popularity in the United States．Growing bonsai can make a fascinating hobby for anyone who enjoys plants and creating beautiful effects with them．（36）B
In growing bonsai，in fact，one must be careful in choosing the type of tree，as the growing conditions are unusual（37）GVarieties of pines with small needles and hardwood trunks are especially suitable．（38）AThis is necessary because the major growth of bonsai is kept confined（被限制） to the tree's trunk and leaves，not its root system-a process quite unlike what is done with other plants．Another thing the bonsai-grower must do is to trim （修整） the roots and branches of the tree periodically （定期地）．Unless this is done，the plants will not have the proper proportions（比例） and will look unnatural．（39）FThe last thing one must do is to be careful to keep the tree well-watered．Because bonsai are grown in smaller-than-usual containers，they often need more water than ordinary houseplants do．
As can be seen from the above，the art of bonsai-growing is one which requires a certain amount of time and effort．（40）EImagine having such a tree in your living room and passing it down through several generations of your family．That is exactly what bonsai-growing is all about：establishing a tradition of beauty which lasts for years and years and is a symbol of the beauties of the natural world．

A．Then one must be careful in choosing the size of the container．
B．How can we meet the goal of making such a kind of art？
C．Why do so many people take a fancy to the art of bonsai-growing．
D．But one must get well prepared before starting bonsai-growing．
E．The satisfactions that growing bonsai brings can be great，however．
F．The ideal for bonsai plants are trees just like normal trees in everything but size．
G．Not all species of trees can be made into bonsai．

6．A higher reading rate，with no loss of comprehension，will help you in other subjects as well as in English，and the general principles apply to any language．Naturally，you will not read every book at the same speed．You would expect to read a newspaper，for example，much faster than a physics or economics textbook-but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with．
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction．They are all about five hundred words long．They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge．Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel．If you read this kind of English，with understanding at four hundred words per minute，you might skim （瀏覽） through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700，while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty．
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved．Tests in Minnesota，USA，for example，have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty，for example，Tolstoy's War and Peace in translation，at speeds of between 240and 250words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension．Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons，once a week，the reading speed can be increased，with no loss of comprehension，to around five hundred words per minute．

32．According to the passage，the purpose of effective（有效的）reading with higher speed is most likely to help youC．
A．read a physics textbook only
B．improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C．study not only English but also other subjects
D．choose the suitable materials for you to practise reading
33．Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph？A
A．Those beyond one's reading comprehension．
B．Those concerned with common knowledge．
C．Those concerned with specialized knowledge．
D．Those with the length of about five hundred words．
34．The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota isB．
A．a(chǎn)bout 300words per minute
B．a(chǎn)bout 245words per minute
C．a(chǎn)bout 650-700words per minute
D．a(chǎn)bout 500words per minute
35．According to the passage，how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota？D
A．You can increase your reading speed by three times．
B．No real increase in reading speed can be achieved．
