How could that be?British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies(罂粟花) in their buttonholes. Whats wrong with that?According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation （代表团）not to wear poppies. The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same. So whats the significance of the poppy? Its a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of Chinas humiliation (耻辱) at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars（鸦片战争）of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open the borders to trade including the opium which was made from poppies grown in India.Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War I. Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried. Since then, Poppy Day (November 11) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war. So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And it makes sense for us to try to understand each others standpoint.Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guests from overseas. US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britains Queen a dull person with no interest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players. Many countries have diplomats stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home. However, sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural significance of a small flower. 41. British Prime Minister David Cameron probably attended a reception in Beijing on _.A. October 1 B. November 11 C. December 31 D. January 1142. The poppy reminds the Chinese of _.A. the shame caused by European countries in the 19th centuryB. the British soldiers who were killed and buried during World War IC. the Chinese soldiers killed during World War IID. the suffering caused by Britain during World War I43. The diplomatic problem in Beijing is mainly caused by _.A. the translation mistake B. the language difference C. the cultural difference D. the different lifestyle44. We can infer that _.A. Britains Queen is not interested in artB. Gordon Brown was fond of American movies US President Barack Obama sent himC. US President Barack Obama received a gift for musicD. Britains Queen may not like the iPod US President Obama presented her45. What is the main idea of the 9th paragraph?A. Cultural differences can also be interesting and funnyB. Cultural differences can cause a big problemC. US President Barack Obama likes to present gifts to other leadersD. US leaders and British leaders get along well with each otherB46. which park is known as “Valley of ten thousand Smokes”? A. Kings Canyon B Petrified Forest C. Denali D Katmai47.

Its now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal The employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.50. What is the authors attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? A. Critical. B. Prejudiced. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 51. With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople _. A. have to get familiar with modern technology B. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations C. are attaching more importance to their overseas business D. are eager to work overseas 52. The underlined part “out of sight and out of mind” probably means _. A. being unable to think properly for lack of insight B. being totally out of touch with business at home C. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad D. leaving all care and worry behind 53. According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? A. Connections with businesses overseas. B. Ability to speak the clients language. C. Technical know-how. D. Business experience. 54. The advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _. A. better control the whole negotiation process B. easily find new approaches to meet market needs C. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters D. easily make friends with businesspeople abroad DMy daughter Allie is leaving for college in a week.
