In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small,polite bow(鞠躬).Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on time.Efficiency(效率) is the goal,so meetings and dealings are often fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions,even when the subject is about money.Rank(等级) is important so people avoid disagreeing with someone of a higher rank.

In the UAE,the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.Then handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere.Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men are also covered from neck to elbows and down to the knees.People usually hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing food of eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one-to-one,if your host offers you coffee,you should refuse.Is it strange?Yes,but it is actually a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.

31.C,主旨大意题及推理判断题.文中提到"Here is some must-know information from a handbook on people's customs(风俗) and manners when doing business in some countries"这里是一个从一本手册上摘录下来的,关于不同的国家中,人们的行为举止是怎样的.故它讲述的是不同的国家风俗习惯和社交礼仪.故选C.
32.B,推理判断题,文中提到"there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil"在巴西,人们从来不会匆忙的吃饭,由此可以确定此处所讲的是在巴西,吃饭的时间可能会持续几个小时,所以选择B.
33.D,推理判断题.短文中关于新加坡的这一段内容中提到"Rank(等级) is important so people avoid disagreeing with someone of a higher rank",在新加坡等级是很重要的,权威的人物必须受到尊敬.由此我们可以知道,新加坡人不会跟他们的老板争吵是因为老板是上级.故选D.
34.D,细节理解题.短文的最后一段提到"The Swiss follow formal table manners.They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table",在瑞士这个国家里,人们遵循着正式的餐桌礼仪,他们在吃饭的时候,要把手放在餐桌的上面,胳膊肘放在下面,而且要吃光盘里的东西.故选D.
35.C,推理判断题,文中提到"Business meetings sometimes start later than planned"在巴西,会议开始时间一般比预计时间要晚,所以巴西人在商界并不守时,A错误;文中提到"Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men are also covered from neck to elbows and down to the knees"在UAE,在某些正式场合,女人会掩饰自己,男人也会掩饰,从脖子到手肘,再到膝盖,B错误;文中提到"They also respect personal things.You should be careful not to ask about such topics"瑞士人十分注重自己的隐私,在询问别人是最好注意不要涉及到个人隐私的东西,C正确;文中提到"Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small,polite bow"新加坡人相互见面时一般都是握手,或者鞠躬,D错误.因此选择C.
