The Way We Do Things Round Here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. J received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” made me upset. I thought he was saying, “We’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.
Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress, food and hours of work—while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候), while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock, your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
( ) 24. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ______.
A. the American bank didn’t think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it’s difficult to get used to American culture
D. it’s easy to misunderstand Americans
( ) 25. The word “highlights” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to
( ) 26. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences
A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own way. D. Do deep research.
( ) 27. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are ______.
A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the British
C
Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind re- action (反应). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland, “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: you can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the heart.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you.” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character (人品) than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management (管理).
“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”
( ) 28. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress
A. He was fired. B. The woman was angry at him.
C. The woman comforted him. D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
( ) 29. Odland learned one of his life lessons from ______.
A. his experience as a waiter B. the advice given by the CEO
C. an article in Fortune D. an interesting best-selling book
( ) 30. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ______.
A. Fortune 500 companies B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson’s book D. the Waiter Rule
( ) 31. From the text we can learn that ______.
A. one should be nicer to important people
B. CEOs often show their power before others
C. one should respect others no matter who they are
D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants
D
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist (社会学家) Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate usual meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise their children make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores are,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.”
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to focus on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says. “Dinner is a non-event.”
( ) 32. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______.
A. show the relationship between parents and children
B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table
C. report on the findings of a study
D. give information about family problems
( ) 33. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______.
A. they are busy serving food to their children
B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table
C. they have to pay more attention to younger children
D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family
( ) 34. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in Paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children ______.
A. have to help their parents to serve dinner
B. get the least attention from the family
C. are often kept away from the dinner table
D. find it hard to keep up with other children
( ) 35. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with
A. It is important to have the right food for children.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
School uniforms (校服) are becoming more and more popular in the USA. It is not surprising, because they offer many benefits. They immediately stop the powerful social sorting and labeling (标记) that result from clothing. When every student in the school wears the uniform, nobody has to worry about fashion (时尚) and some of them will not be laughed at for wearing the “wrong” clothes.
A number of people disagree with the rule of school uniforms, but they do not realize that students have already accepted it. Because they want to look just like their friends. The difference is that the clothing students choose for themselves creates social barriers (隔阂). Now school uniforms tear those barriers down.
As in other places, people can keep their purposes and duties in mind by wearing uniforms. For ex- ample, when a man wears a police uniform, he becomes the symbol (象征) of law and order. The uniform reminds the wearer of his special duties and sends the same message to everyone the wearer meets. For students, the school uniform reminds them that their task for the six or seven hours in school is to get education. By wearing the school uniforms, the students could feel that they are part of a particular group as well.
Some parents are unhappy about uniforms. They believe that school uniforms will influence students’ “creativity” . First of all, the clothes that students choose to wear do not necessarily express their individuality (个性). They just copy their classmates. Then, students can live a creative life in the rest of the day. When they are in school, their task is to master the knowledge they are supposed to learn. Mastery of these knowledge will be good for the students to build up their creativity in every way.
