China loves exhibitions．Exhibitions provide people with a chance to see what is available, and perhaps more importantly, what may be available．In order to make your visit more efficient, the rules listed below may be of some help to you．
Avoid attending the opening ceremony
Unless your company is sponsoring(主办)the exhibition, find out when the opening ceremony is and show up about 30 minutes after that．The opening ceremony is like a starting gun as soon as it's over, the gathered crowds will rush to the doors to get inside the exhibition halls．
Don't be distracted by pretty models
Hot cars and pretty girls may go well together, but don't be distracted by them．Remember what you really want to see at an exhibition．
Go early
Unlike the western competitors, Chinese exhibitors don't give away a lot of freebies during exhibitions．So, if you want the freebies, go to the show on the first day, right after the opening ceremony．
Don't go during lunch hour
Lunch is like a daily national holiday in China．Lunch hour, unfortunately, leaves exhibition booths manned by guys who are more interested in stuffing food into their mouths than explaining the product or promoting the company．
Avoid any booth with a big screen TV, a video game, or a loudspeaker
These are cheap ways of attracting consumers to visit a booth, and it doesn't always guarantee that the vendor(卖主)has a good product to show．Its purpose is to attract people with an electronic dog-and-pony show．
Hand your name cards out to everyone
Take plenty of business cards in both Chinese and English with you when going to an exhibition．Hand them out to every exhibitor whose booth you visit．This method helps advertise the name of your company, so don't leave home without them!
Follow the guards
Guards are available to assist anyone in need of help and to keep order．So follow them and look for the best products to see at an exhibition．
Set a time limit
Prepare for what you want to see, how much time you want to spend and where you want to spend your time．
Remember these rules and you will have a fruitful experience at an exhibition．

Kong Zi called Confucius(551-479 B．C．)．and Soerates(469 B．C．)lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of there great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies．
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China．The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban．The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius．Unlike Confucius, Soeraes was not asked by rulers how to goversn offectively．Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, foeusing on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in gowernnent and many of his students went ment
Conful suggested Rule as a principle for the corduet of “Lo not others what you would not want to you．”He assumed that all men were equal at some potential than others, are that it was knowledge that set men apart．Socraes focusesd on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom．He believed that some had more potential a develop their reason than others did．Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes．
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concerm．For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations．
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes．

阅读理解，阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
Don't talk to me; I'm busy with my iPhone
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference： in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人)．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40, 000-yes, that's 40, 000-“apps”(programs downloaded for the iPhone)have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice．It's not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games, e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied．Then perhaps you would prefer a film．The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all this entertainments, it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．
