提示：

解题点拨 　　1．此空白处要表达的意思是人们如何更好地相互理解和认识．所填词由and与know连接，为动词原形． 　　2．hold a meeting意为开会． 　　3．should后要求接动词的原形，expect somebody to do something意为期望某人做某事． 　　4．will后接动词原形，上文提到到会，很显然此处应填一个能表示到达之意的动词． 　　5．英语既可用English直接来表示，还可以表达成the English language. 　　6．空白处接一宾语从句且从句用的是一般过去时态，表明此处要求填一动词的过去式．从后文英国人最后明白他们自己的想法是错误的，可知应填动词found． 　　7．for example意为举例说明，是习惯搭配． 　　8．prefer to do something意为更喜欢做某事． 　　9．each other意为互相． 　　10．下文介绍法国人是在饭后谈生意，表明此处德国人是在饭前谈生意．
