Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
　　The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman， on the other hand， likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社會)， Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA， it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan， it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(請求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly， the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However， this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
【小題1】What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

A．Their different ways of doing business.
B．Their different lifestyles.
C．The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.
D．The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.
【小題2】 Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?
A．cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.
B．give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.
C．a(chǎn)ttract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D．make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
【小題3】What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A．American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.
B．American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.
C．Americans usually say what they are thinking.
D．Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.
【小題4】From the passage we can infer(推斷) that __________.
A．Japanese businessmen are good at business
B．foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business
C．foreign businessmen must be more polite
D．you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed

English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA，Britain，Australia，New Zealand，Ireland and Canada. However，English is spoken all over the world.

New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths(鐵匠). There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States. The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. Clearly, a blacksmith must be very storng. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses---for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”
【小題1】According to the reading passage, a blacksmith must be likely a ________________ man.

A．clever B．rich C．strong D．lucky
【小題2】James Corbin became a blacksmith because he ________________.
A．was interested in horses
B．was needed by the policemen
C．drew a picture of the horseshoe
D．had to make a living
【小題3】In the reading passage “to shape a shoe” is to ________________.
A．fit it on the horse’s foot
B．use it for two or three hours
C．make the form of a horseshoe from a piece of metal
D．draw a picture of the shoe
【小題4】The best title for the passage is “________________”.
A．Policemen on Horseback
B．Blacksmiths and Horseshoeing
C．James Corbin, a Blacksmith
D．Horseshoeing is a Good Way to Make a Living
【小題5】Which of the following is true?
A．Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.

Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.
【小題1】Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.

A．for you to make more and more new friends
B．to begin your business talks
C．to get things going
D．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
【小題2】After asking somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to ________.
A．a(chǎn)gree with what others say all the time
B．listen to his reply attentively
C．wait impatiently for his answer
D．go on asking him more questions
【小題3】Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.
A．a(chǎn)re not good at making any topic interesting
B．never talk too much or too little
C．a(chǎn)lways speak in a gentle way
D．know when they should change the topic of the talk
【小題4】If you really want to meet someone again, ________.

The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms, but it can, hold much more information than most computers. However, there is another difference between humans and computers. Computers don't forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don't usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here are some suggestions.
◆Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says "Hi! I'm Carlos," don't just say "Hello." Repeat the person's name. Say"____"
◆Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it's hard to memorize (記憶) 109244153. But if you break it into three parts--109/244/153—it becomes easier.
◆Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts.
◆Always review information. If you bring what you've learned back to your mind, they become easier to remember. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day.
◆Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what's wrong, and it will lead to the right answer.
◆Never tell yourself that you have a bad memory. You can always do something to help improve your memory. And everyone's memory gets better if they use it often enough.
All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory.
