18、Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women)

19、 with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time.

20、preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Effici

21、ency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with

22、 someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. M

23、en also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you

24、coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask

25、 about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others time. Arrive at any meeting or even a few minutes early to be safe.

29、tzerland.BHacking our senses to boost learning powerSome schools are pumping music, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important,

30、 but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if

31、so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?There is certainly some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports

32、 fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by t

33、he children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an experimental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores.Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy, in literacy, a

34、nd in spelling,says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially harmful effect on children with special needs.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Busi

35、ness at Illinois and his colleagues tested peoples creativity while exposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level

36、 than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity.Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually sugge

37、sts its hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what youre hearing. If you like the musi

38、c or you like the sound even listening to a Stephen King novel then you do better. It doesnt matter about the music, he says.So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful c

39、hoices. Yet this isnt the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high school in London are being encouraged to revise different subjects in the presence of different smells grapefruit scents for maths, lavender for French and spearmint for history.45

40、. The four questions in the first paragraph are meant to _.Acreate some sense of humour to please the readersBprovide the most frequently asked questions in schools nowadaysChold the readers attention and arouse their curiosity to go on readingDdeclare the purpose of the article: to try to offer key

41、 to those questions46. What does the conclusion of the studies of noise conducted by Bridget Shield and Julie Dockrell suggest?APeaceful music plays an active role in students learning.BNot all noises have a negative impact on childrens performance.CWe should create for school children a more peacef

42、ul environment.DChildren with special needs might be exposed to some particular sounds.47. Ravi Mehtas experiment indicates that _.Astudents creativity improves in a quiet environmentBwe may play some Mozart music while students are learningCa proper volume of background noises does improve creativi

43、tyDnoise of coffee-shop chatter is better than that of construction-site drilling48. Towards the positive impact of appropriate background sound and smell on students learning and creativity, the authors attitude is _.AambiguousBdoubtfulCnegativeDsupportive49. Which of the following is most likely t

44、o follow up the research findings?AExperts research into other senses that can improve students grades.BMore successful examples of boosting learning power by using music.CSuggestions for pumping lots of pleasant smells into school campuses.DDebates on whether noises can really have positive effect

45、on students performance.CTwo things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and its true. I would be a different person if my mom hadnt turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united

46、 in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly dont know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, wed hear something like, I dont care what so-and-so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet-16 party.
