     Maybe you have heard the expression "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". So when you want to
do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your
business by local laws.
         1   The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the
risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why
learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that
you care and respect their country's culture and language.
     The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always
look the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common.
     Use first names only after being invited to.  2   The French will sometimes introduce themselves using
their surname first, followed by their first name.
     Dress well.    3   Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to
be tasteful and stylish.  Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly.  Wearing make -up is practised widely by business women.
     The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which
usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up
to two hours.        4       
     Do not begin eating until the host says, "bon appetite". Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the
table and try to eat everything on the plate.    5   This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If
eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.
B. This is a time for relationship building.
C. Remember to be as polite as possible.
D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.
E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.
F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.
G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.

     People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second
Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love
and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give
love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.
More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.
     These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear
carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many
people attend religious services(宗教仪式)to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents
are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often
have outdoor BBQs for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
      Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their
own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is
important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries,
telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.

     Drama and the performing arts are excellent methods of building confidence in children and adults
alike.Learning through drama allows children to explore their creativity and have fun while leaving their
shyness and worries behind.Drama also works by supporting the growth of imagination and other skills.
     Entertainment has become rather passive with cinema, television, and video games.These
screenbased methods have had a negative effect on communication.However, drama puts the
"getupandgo" back into entertainment.Children have the opportunity to connect with others in a more
meaningful way as drama encourages speech development and awareness of body language, and allows
the children to become more socially aware.
      Play and drama are closely linked.When children play a game, they are pretending and using their
imagination and so they are moving away from reality to create their own story.Drama is a vehicle
through which children can express themselves more freely through mime (哑剧表演), gesture,
movement, and speech to make education fun.
     Children gain confidence by understanding that there is no final answer in drama and that their
opinion and contribution are valued.Children are able to give a personal response to many issues and
situations such as poverty, bullying, global warming and recycling.The issues that drama can deal with
are endless.Drama and education have a strong link as drama can encourage children to take an active
interest in other subjects such as geography, history, and English and so they can have a more rounded
education.
     As a drama teacher, I have witnessed children at their first class holding onto their parents'
arms-unwilling to let go.Then to see the same child later running into my class with smiles is an excellent
sight.Drama installs confidence in children by allowing them to improvise (即兴创作) and experiment.
Everyone is given the opportunity to shine within drama.Besides learning the history of the theatre,
drama covers dance, music, and directing, etc.These classes are especially designed to be of great fun.

1. Performing drama is likely to help children________.

A. invent something useful

in his garden. The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup. This beautiful pink soup

     Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become
one city-but kept both their names.
     Winston-Salem is one of them It's a mid- sized city in
what's called the plateau (high land), between the Atlantic
Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.
The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this
century. It's home to the nation's biggest open-air tobacco
market.
     The giant R J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's head-quarters is in Winston-Salem, and Winston is the name
of one of Reynolds' best-known cigarette brands. Fast-growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town
of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.
     From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it's called today, is the interesting and
unusual part of town.
     Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously
based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued
women's work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation's oldest boarding schools for young women-the
Moravians' Salem Academy founded in 1772-is still in operation.
     Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began
to rehabilitate the historic area These days Old Salem is what's called a living history museum, with exhibits,
music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the
tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.
     The historic community is booming again, Just as R J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making
cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about $15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.
1. From the passage we can know that _____.
[     ]
A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city
B. Salem is home to the tobacco market
C. the city Winston-Salem has two names
D. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand
2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that _____.
[     ]
A. the two cities benefited each other
B. Salem developed faster than Winston
C. R J. Reynolds Company has moved into Salem
D. the combination meets the wishes of the people
3. The city Salem is special for its _____.
[     ]
A. boarding school
B. lifestyle and tradition
C. respect for brainpower
D. religious belief
4. The underlined word "rehabilitate" in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to "_____".
[     ]
A. reconstruct
B. evaluate
C. enlarge
D. decorate
5. What will probably be talked about in the following part?
[     ]
A. Some other attractions in Winston-Salem.
