3、China loves exhibitions. Exhibitions provide people with a chance to sec 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 its 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 competitor. 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 arc 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 you name cards out to everyone
Take plenty of business cards m 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 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.

21、The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone may buy them.
To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows whereto place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near the region where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.
Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to develop a convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or why a needle in the wrist, for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.
A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

A. has to learn how to insert the needles accurately in the right place

A. people must insert a needle in the wrist to prevent the pain in the mouth
B. people come to realize the shortcomings of the acupuncture
C. people are convinced to use the acupuncture to cure diseases

20、CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (AP)--Bill Gates is finally getting his Harvard degree--32 years after he walked away from the university on the path to becoming the world's wealthiest person.
Gates, billionaire co--founder of Microsoft Corp.,philanthropist(慈善家) and college dropout, will receive an honorary degree June 7 when he delivers Harvard University' s 356th graduation address.
"His contributions to the world of business and technology, and the great example he has set through his far--reaching philanthropy, will rightfully put him on center stage in Harvard Yard," Harvard Alumni Association President Paul Finnegan said in a statement.
Gates is considered a member of Harvard' s Class of 1977, which celebrates its 30th reunion this year. He first came to the university in 1973 but left in1975 to devote his time to developing Microsoft, which he founded that year with childhood friend Paul Allen.

Gates and his wife, Melinda, created the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2000,which is now the world's largest philanthropic foundation with an endowment(捐赠资金) of about $ 33 billion. The foundation concentrates on promoting global health, ending poverty and hunger, and enhancing education. The Gates Foundation also is a major donor to Harvard.
Jack Reardon, Harvard's associate vice president for university relations, said there was no particular reason why the university waited until this year to honor Gates. He said Harvard considers many people for honorary degrees every year.
