would provide enough electricity to light up a part of the great city.They bought several machines with them.These were called generators(发电机),which produced electricity power for lamps in Edisons building.Soon there were lights for the building.Edison lived in a room facing the street and he often worked over night.The light burned brightly and steadily and he often worked over night.People often came and stopped their horse-drawn carriage to look.Everyone knew that Thomas Edison was in town.First,the inventor and his assistants produced several large generators.A great deal of power would be needed to light up even a small part of the city.Then the workers were busy digging deep trenches in the hard earth below the city streets,and Edison had fourteen miles of wire laid into the trenches.The wire connected each building to a generator.Setting up an electric power system was not an easy job.It took a year and a half.In September,1882,the job was finished.A small group of men stood around Edison inside the power house.The big moment came at last.The inventor,taking a deep breath,pulled a switch.The electric lights flashed up.“Very good!Very good!”a man nearby shouted to praise Edison for what he had done.“Sir,”said Edison,“this is only the beginning!”And Edison was right.Soon Edisons lamp were lighting up cities all over the world.41.The generators they brought with

the man to safety.Onlookers immediately declared Andrews a hero.Messages began to pour in from all over the country.Some people sent checks.The largest was for$3,000.President called Andrews and

countries such as Germany,the USA,the UK and Russia do a lot of business in China.Lets have a look at some important tips to help you be successful when dealing with these nationalities.First,you must be punctual(准时的)with Germans.Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression.Being punctual is also very important in the USA.In the UK,its important to be punctual for business meetings,but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event.Half past seven really means a quarter to eight,or even eight oclock!With Russians,you should always be on time,though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!It is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries.In Russia,designer clothes are very common.Dont be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans.Many companies have“dress down Friday”,when people wear casual(随便的)clothes.In Germany,first names are only used by family members and close friends,so be prepared to use titles and last names.In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately.The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more 第 6 页 共 8 页 common,especially among younger people.In Russia,however,nobody uses first names,so use titles and last names.In conversation,the British and the Americans value humour,and both like to talk about sport.The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British and the Americans,but avoid talking about politics.In Russia,say positive things about their country,but avoid making complaints.The Germans,however,prefer to get straight down to business!So,use these tips,and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!53Which color should you NOT wear when meeting a person from the USA?A.Dark blue.B.Gray.C.Black.D.White.54 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _.A.you can say something funny when you talk to an American B.you can

on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席),the students would be in fear,because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave.A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him.At the end of the term,the students of medicine would take their exam again.Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee.This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.The professor began to ask.The student was required to describe a certain illness,his description of which turned to（结果是）be OK.Then the professor asked about the cure(药剂)for illness,and the student,too,answered just as right.“Good,”said the professor,“and how much will you give the patient?”“A full spoon”,answered the student.“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”,said the professor.At the same time,the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given.Suddenly the student noticed th
