[1] In today's world, the most successful companies are the ones who understand how important it is to make contacts(联系)around the world. However, doing business in different countries isn't simple. It is important to know the local customs and traditions of the people you are dealing with, which is the best way to impress(使…印象深刻)your hosts.
[2] One example that comes to mind is of a German company that has recently tried to gain (获得)a new contract in South Korea. The German visitors arrived at the Korean company's office early in the morning and spent the whole day in long meetings. By the evening, the Germans were so tired that they politely turned down the Korean's invitation to go out for dinner and drinks, since they wanted to return to their hotel and get some rest. The Germans did not understand that in South Korea business talks often continue into the evening. The Germans only came to realize that they offended(冒犯)their hosts after they had lost the contract.
[3] In Europe or the USA, business is seldom discussed into the evening. However, it is important to be on time for a meeting. If you are ① late , your hosts may think you do not care. In fact, it is better to arrive at least ten minutes before the meeting starts. This way, you can show how keen(强烈的) you are to do business with them.②You will also have time to talk with your hosts before you sit down to discuss business.
[4] However, in many countries meetings may not start on time. There are many ③ reasons for this, such as transport difficulties, unusual weather and the breakdown of cars.
Sometimes the time of day is also important. In South America and many countries in southern Europe, people have a short sleep after lunch. Therefore, if you try to arrange(安排) a meeting for
the early afternoon, you may find that not many people will ④ come , or that your hosts will be unhappy.

The population of the world continues to increase, but in some areas the population is falling.This is true in Europe and especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people EVERY HOUR! Russia's population could fall by ONE THIRD by the year 2050! And in Poland (波兰)the population is also going down because people are leaving to work in other countries.
One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. All over Europe people, especially educated women, have a different attitude (态度)to children than their parents."I have one child and she is enough for me, "said Galina Tereschkova, a doctor from Moscow. "My husband and I both work full﹣time. We can't imagine having more than one child. "Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. "I don't want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years, "said 19﹣year﹣old student Hana Markova from Prague. Her opinion is typical of 18﹣24 year old women everywhere in Europe.
In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of people,usually aged between 20 and 30, are leaving the country to work abroad. Poland joined the European Union in 2005 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down.
Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France,women now receive nearly 1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child.Austrian women receive 700 a month for three years when they have their first child.

Some children cannot wait to grow up.Because once you become an adult you are free to make your own decisions.More importantly you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young.So the question is 'At what age do you really become an adult?' Well ,people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want.They can vote (选举),learn to drive a car ,get married,join the army and even buy their own houses.Even if they can do all these things,most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult.This is the traditional adult age in Australia and the USA and the UK.

In China ,you can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18,but if you want to get married,women have to wait until they are 18 and men until they are 22.Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years﹣﹣so when young people turn 20,they can expect a big party!

Which country grows the most tea?The answer is India.It grows three times as much as China.Which country drinks the most tea?It's neither China nor Japan.It's Great Britain.
In the wild,tea plants may be 9 meters tall.But a plant grown for market is pruned.Pruning keeps the plant only 0.9 or 1.2 meters tall.This is an easy height for tea picking.Only the two top leaves and bud(芽)of each new shoot are picked.So to make money,tea plantations (种植园) must be huge.
In general,there are two kinds of tea:black tea and green tea.Black tea is fermented (发酵).In the process,the tea loses nearly all of its healthy parts.Green tea is steamed (蒸) right after the leaves are picked.Green tea keeps its healthy parts.For example,it may prevent heart illness.
How did we get tea bags?The answer:by accident.Tea businessmen used to send samples(样品)in tin(锡)boxes.This was very expensive.One businessman thought of a cheaper way.He sent samples in small silk bags.Customers would open the bag.They would make tea as usual.One customer put the bag into a pot.Then he just poured hot water over it.And the tea bag was born.
Shen Nong was the first to drink tea.He was a Chinese emperor.This was about 2737 B.C.Shen drank several cups of hot water daily.One day something happened.Leaves from a wild tea tree fell into the hot water pot.The next cup was poured.The water was now colored.Shen tasted it.He liked it.He drank it all.Shen was proud of his new drink.He served it to his guests.Word spread.People thought this way:tea is good enough for the Emperor,so it must be good enough for the people.Tea became the drink of China.

What are you holding in your hand while you are taking the examination? Right. A pen.
Though it is small, the pen has changed the history, improved the trade of countries, recorded events, carried news, and done far more work for human beings than all other tools.
Progress without it would have been almost impossible. The invention of the wheels, the introduction of steam engine(蒸汽机), the use of electricity, all these have changed the lives of millions of people, but the pen has done more. It has taken away mountains, and it has prepared the way for all progress and development of the society.
In the past the pen did all the work if you wanted to keep any writing for some time. The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus(纸莎草纸) was first used. The most famous letters in the world were written with a pen. It was with a pen that the greatest thinkers of all time wrote down their thoughts.
The pen is very utilitarian. We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. An agreement is worthless till our name is written with a pen. The writers encourage the world with it. The students take their examinations with it as well.
Our coming into the world is recorded with a pen. Before we have been at school, our name is written on the name list with a pen. We cannot be married till we have signed. A pen records the important events in our life.
Let us remember that we hold in our hand the most powerful instrument which man owns. The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it.

Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good. Mobiles are often believed to be the cause of a number of things from poor eyesight and headaches to house fires. There's even one theory that mobile phones should be responsible for the disappearance of bees!
The theory is that the radiation (辐射) given off by mobile phones does great harm to bees, navigation systems (导航系统). Bees have a built﹣in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hives.But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home. It is believed they are dying far from their hives.
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more serious than it at first seems. The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated by them. Without bees, the crops can't continue to grow. Many beekeepers in Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees. Jim Piper, a London beekeeper, said to the reporter, "My business is becoming worse. Twenty nine of my forty hives are now empty."
Nobody knows for sure whether the theory is true or not, but it's a fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers. And we can't manage without them.Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared,man would only live for four more years! If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it right now﹣before it's too late.
