When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I’d better take some money. But I didn't listen to him. I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant on time. I know Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious food.
The dinner was a great success. We talked a lot while eating. After two hours, the waiter finally came and asked if we wanted one check (账单）or two, Lyrme said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I said，“Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was and I quickly called Tony. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check. He laughed at me all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed. I thought an invitation to  have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China. Now 1 think you have to understand thai your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too. They can be quite different.
Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Only one word for each blank.

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(社会), 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(请求) 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.
【小题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.
【小题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．attract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D．make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
【小题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.
【小题4】 From the passage we can infer(推断) 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
