The United States took the position that the Iranians should not be upset with the Shah being allowed into the United States for the humanitarian reason of medical need. The Shah had been a friend to the United States and the United States to the Shah; therefore, the U.S government felt a certain obligation to Shah. The revolution in Iran was based on Islamic religious assumptions.17.     A U.S. American woman executive is sent to negotiate a contract with a corporation in Saudi Arabia.

They had timed detailed agendas; a long contract; and specific plans for a joint venture.

Then write down the answers on the Answer Sheet. In China it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the West this question is generally regarded as impolite. 26. This is particularly true of women, and even more so if the inquirer is a man.27. However , it is very normal to ask children their age , and some adults may not mind being asked either. 28. In fact , some elderly people  are quite happy to reveal their age, especially if they feel they look young for their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a direct question like How old are you? If elderly people want to talk about their age , and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily bring up the topic themselves, and ask the other person to guess how old they are. In such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age freely. 29. They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though , rather than to be told that they look very old.Even though Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not mean that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else for the information, or else they may try to approach the topic indirectly. 30. Sometimes discussion about educational background and the years of working experience may provide some clues, but this is not always the case. 专心-专注-专业
