When you are doing business in Argentina, either with the government or the private enterprises, the bargains play a very important part. Interview may be the best way to do business, because telephone service is not so good in Argentina, and people prefer to have a face – to – face talk with his associate. If you insist on using phones, you may fail. And another thing is that, book your time before your business visit.

Most of the Argentines are descendants of a European, especially from Britain and Italy. People in political circles and business circles spend much time on clothing. They have good manners. So, be careful of your appearance. Gentlemen had better put on conservative business suit and have ties. Attending a formal bender and banquet, wearing deep color clothes should be good. Meanwhile, ladies should be decent, a suit or a long skirt is good. These rules are the same with the visitors from other places. Foreigners are used to judging one from his clothes. If you wear untidy, they must have an inappreciative conclusion.

Clothes are the base of their judgments. So, when you visit a company of a department, even you have a visit to your merchant, you need to wear business suit. The color of the suit is important. The grey color is unpopular, as it feels gloomy. Wearing this to have a visit, you will leave very bad impression. Another noticeable thing is, the popular packing colors are yellow, green and red, as black, purple and purple – brown must be careful.

The Argentines are like the Europeans. Beef, hotpot and pork are their favorite, and they treat baking complete animals as their traditional food. The Argentine businessmen like to invite the associates to their home. The authentic Argentine beef must be on the table. As a guest, when you have an invitation, it must be wonderful if you take some flowers or candies with you, a bottle of imported whiskey is also the best present. Never take a T – shirt or a tie. Argentines don’t like to accept these underclothes.

From May to November, it is the best time to do business. And avoid having interviews two weeks before and after Christmas Day and Easter Day. Holiday time begins in January and finishes in March, these are the right time to do business with Argentines.

Just how popular was Mini? Very. Every year, her classmates voted her  31 the favourite student. She was so easy to 32 along with that the number of friends she had by far outnumbered (压倒)those of anyone else in her group.
One day the 10-year-old was  33  talking in the class and ordered to stay back as  34 . Staying back 35 doing something “useful”, like helping in the garden or library after school.
Now the school in which Mini 36  had a rule of sorts. Once a month, you could interchange your punishment schedule with someone else. If you 37 something else to do the day you were punished, you could 38 a friend to stand in for you. Of course, you had to return the favour, but in that same month itself. Otherwise the favour cancelled itself out. So the students who stayed back for others and wanted the favour repaid, found ways to be punished that very month. 39 it happened, on that day a very dear aunt was visiting Mini on her way back to America. That afternoon was the only  40  Mini had of seeing her for another five years. Mini needed someone to stand in for her. That was a problem though it was the last day of the month. So anyone who helped her, would do so out of friendship's sake alone. She sought out Preeti, her “best'”friend. "Oh no Mini, I can't," Preeti said. "I have to coach my brother for his nursery entrance test. The kid just can't seem to get into any decent （体面的）school." And she spent a good  41 of time telling Mini of her brother's problems.
"Mohit, 42 you stay back for me?" Mini asked another friend who was dribbling a ball（运球） in the playground. She knew he often just hung around after school. "To help the librarian? I  43 you'd told me earlier. I have to go to a relative's house with my father. Some other day perhaps," and  44 that Mohit fled.
By now, Mini was beginning to  45  if even one of her friends would 46  to stay. But she tried again. Three  47 friends and each one refused. Of course, no one said "no" outright. Mini was a great pal, after all. But each had a “reason”why they couldn't take her place that afternoon, and if only it were some other day...
So, after school Mini stayed back to help the  48 , Ms Mathur. And, when the remote Ms Mathur found her crying after everyone had left, it was she  49  surprised Mini by allowing her to leave to meet her aunt. "Some popularity I have," Mini murmured（嘟囔） to herself, as she went home. "I may have many friends, but in reality I have  50 ."
