　　Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day．“I was a colthes addict,”he jokes．“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．”Today David wears causual(非正式的)clothed －khaki pants and sports shirt－to the office．He hardly ever wears a necktie．“I’m, working harder than ever,”David says,“and I need to feel comfortable．”

　　More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States．The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual．In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday)．This became known as“dress-down Friday”or“casual Friday”,“What started out as an extra one-day-a -week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing,”said business consultant Masily Jones．

　　Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes?One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress clde．“A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,”says the owner of a software company．“so it’s hard ot hire people if you have a conservative(保守的dress code．”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfrotable clothes,．In a shudy conducted by Levi Strauss and Company．85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale(士气)．Only 4 percnet of employers said that casual Dress clde helps them save money．“Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day．”one person said．“For the same amout of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．”

　　Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures．They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions–mistaken ideas．

　　One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism,the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures．It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business．To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements(组成部分)of culture：language,values and attitudes, and customs and mammers．

　　Language

　　A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways．First, people can communicate directly．Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language．Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly．Finally, konwing the language helps people to understand the culture better．

　　Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad．An attitude is a way of thinking or acting．Values and attitudes influence international business．For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate lrom Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countrics, and they buy a lot of ot．

　　Customs and manners

　　Customs are common social practices．Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite．For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad(色拉)before the main course at dinner, not after．It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table．Gailure to understand the customs and menners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products．Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast．

阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。

首先，请阅读下列为读者来信所写的建议：

A.

It seems your friend works extremely hard but doesn't always achieve what she wants．I think she needs to ease the pressure on herself a bit and have some fun．How about suggesting that you both go for a picnic together? Have an outing together so that she is away from her studies．She may open out a bit then．

B.

Discuss this with your parents before you decide anything；they've invested time and money in giving you the best education，and they might want you to continue．Discuss the choices with your school and university，and they might be able to help you out．I assume you will have a few months before you start university．Maybe you can take that time to work and help your parents, and maybe keep a part time job while you attend university．

C.

It is time to confront your mother．It is not her future to decide，but it is yours．If it is a money issue，then you can wait a little longer．If not，then just confront her．Do not be afraid．My suggestion to you is，“Never give up your dream”，aim for what you want，and don't let a simple “no” stop you from what you love．

D.

Confidence comes from within．This often leads to your becoming more confident naturally．Make a plan in your head，try and smile at one complete stranger every day．Build up to making small talk to one person a day if you can．Once you realize that you can do it，then it will only get easier. Join out-of-school activities that you are interested in and you may find lots of people in the same situation as yourself. I wish you luck!

E.

Is it so important to get your exams? Could you find something that really suits you with an understanding company or employer that will help you gain experience and work up the ladder from a practical point of view rather than an academic result．I sometimes think that work experience is more important．You may have to come a bit closer to home and start from there to avoid the upset and ignorance of ot hers．Hope this helps．

F.

You need to believe in your own powers．I guess one way you can learn to do that is to set challenges for yourself，and then work to meet them，one by one．Gradually，you won't be able to deny to yourself that you can get things done．And that will improve your confidence，and will also help you see what you can't do．Start small，and never give in．You should see results in some time．I wish you the best.

1.I have had learning difficulties all my life and life is impossible．I fail at everything I do and I'm left behind，like years behind．For people with no learning difficulties，life is always easier but that's not me．What people with learning difficulties are left by years while those don't move up the ladder quicker?

4.I have serious confidence issues，and today I went to my first day of a new school．Unfortunately I have been at the same school previously my whole life．Yeah I have mates outside of school and that，but that one day has just changed everything about how I feel．I thought in my previous school I could make a difference in the world，but now I'm just lost，confused and I know no one．I'm not very sociable either，and just not comfortable with the environment．How can I be more sociable?
