Thankfully, we can get all these anywhere in India now.Still, her answer surprised me: “Green tea.”As long as I can remember she didnt even drink Indian tea.I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story. My mother and her brother, both regular newspaper readers, believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illnesses.At the turn of the century, China was not really familiar to the average India. It was a strange country.How things change! And how soon!Now every town of any size seems to have a “China Market”. And everyone is talking about China.The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done. A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would “work wonders as it did for China”.But its a two-way street. I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software. Meanwhile, all the Indian IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.No wonder that trade, which was only in the millions just ten years ago, is expected to hit about US $ 15 billion for last year and US $20 billion by 2008, a goal set by both governments.No wonder, my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian（中印）century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.But what is still a wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.21. Why did the mother ask for Chinese green tea? A. She was tired of Indian tea. B. She had a son working in China. C. She believed it had a curing effect. D. She was fond of Chinese products.22. What does the author mean by “its a two-way street” in Paragraph 10? A. China and India have different traffic rules. B. Tea trade works wonders in both India and China. C. Chinese products are popular in both China and India. D. The exchanges between India and China benefit both.23. What do we know about the Indian IT industry? A. It will move its head office to Shenzhen. B. It is seeking further development in China. C. It has attracted an investment of US $15 billion. D. It caught up with the US IT industry in 2008.24. In the text the author expresses _. A. his concern for his mothers health B. his support for drinking Chinese green tea C. his surprise at Chinas recent development D. his wonder at the growth of Indias IT industry BForeign drivers will have to pay on-the-spot fines of up to 900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will be clamped（扣留）until they payand they will face an additional fee of 80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.The standard deposit for a careless driving offencesuch as driving too close to the vehicles in front or reading a map at the wheelwill be 300. Deposits for speeding offences and using mobile phones will be 60. Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses, while British drivers will.25. The first paragraph serves as a(n) _. A. explanation B. introduction C. comment D. background26. The foreign drivers who break the traffic law and do not pay on the spot are likely to be fined up to _. A. 60 B. 300 C. 900 D. 98027. We can learn from the passage that _. A. many foreign drivers have been fined by British police B. 300,000 German vehicles enter Britain every year C. 25 percent of foreign vehicles entering Britain have failed safety tests D. British drivers will be punished with points and fines for breaking the traffic law28. The new traffic law is mainly intended to _. A. limit the number of foreign vehicles entering Britain B. increase the British governments additional income C. lower the rare of traffic accidents and injuries D. get foreign drivers to appear in court CSuccessful 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 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 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 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 don't usually drink juice with breakfast.29. A knowledge of the local language allows international business people _. A. to be more open with their customers B. to communicate without outside help C. to express their thoughts indirectly D. to have a better idea of their own culture30. The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of _. A. manners B. values C. attitudes D. customs31. What would be the best title for the text? A. Misconceptions in Business B. Basic Beliefs in Business C. International Business Culture D. Successful International Business32. The authors purpose of writing this article is to tell people _. A. how to take a right attitude in business B. how to avoid misunderstandings in business C. how to use a local language in business D. how to act politely and properly in business DSitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldnt forget that Charles Darwin (18091882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired his famous work, On the origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwins footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islandsThe islands are certainly a paradise for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be.The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise（巨型海龟）, which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago（群岛）. Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.Traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.33. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for wildlife”? A. Animals on the islands feed on grass. B. Local government forbids killing wildlife. C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish. D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.34. Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of _. A. the beautiful sea views B. Darwins inspiring trip C. a closer view of animals D. various daring activities35. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers B. Galapagos as a Paradise for Adventure C. Charles Darwin as a Symbol of Galapagos D.
