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

The English language is different from any 36 language. Yet English words do not 37 the same. It is always 38 . People need new words 39 new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use or older words are used 40 a new way.
English can 41 by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, the word “coffee” came from Turkey, and “tea” from 42 and so on. Now new space and science words 43 from other countries, too. New words are also made by adding two words 44 . The words “strawberry”, “postman” and “blackboard” are made up of two parts.
Sometimes, new words are 45 forms of old words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the 46 of the long word. The word “plane” was made by cutting off the 47 part of “airplane”. 48 “smog” was made by using only the first two letters of “smoke” and cutting off the front part of “fog”.

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV proprammes show people how to DIY.
English people like DIY. There is a saying in UK –“An Englishman’s home is his castle”. Huge numbers of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful “castles”. If there is anything that needs fixing around their houses, such as painting the walls or putting in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experiences with their friends. More and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn at present, many people can not afford to buy a bigger house. They are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
DIY can be difficult. There is a huge market for DIY furniture which people need to put together themselves with a few basic tools. However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure, though most DIY projects are started with the best intentions, many of them may not get finished. DIY can also be dangerous. For example, anything electrical should be done by a professional worker. Unluckily, many people don’t care about this warning and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
Therefore, DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be if we bite off more than we can chew. Maybe factories should make products that are easier and safer for us to DIY.
