3．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 manners．
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，knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better．
Values and Attitudes
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 from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries，and they buy a lot of it．
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．Failure to understand the customs and manners 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．

32．A knowledge of the local language allows international business peopleB．
A．to be more open with their customers
B．to communicate without outside help
C．to express their thoughts indirectly
D．to have a better idea of their own culture
33．The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role ofC．
A．manners  B．values   C．attitudes  D．customs
34．What would be the best title for the text？C
A．Misconceptions in Business    B．Basic Beliefs in Business
C．International Business Culture   D．Successful International Business
35．The author's purpose of writing this article is to tell peopleB．
A．how to take a right attitude in business
B．how to avoid misunderstandings in business
C．how to use a local language in business
D．how to act politely and properly in business．

分析本文叙述了成功的生意人之所以能取得成功，一个重要的原因在于他们理解不同民族的文化，并学会了根据不同的文化而改变自己的行为，即没有"民族优越感"．那么，怎样才能避免每个人心中由来已久的"民族优越感"呢？本文就语言，态度和价值观，及风俗习惯等几个方面提出了一些建议．

解答 32-35 BCCB
32．答案B．细节理解题．根据Language部分的First，people can communicate easily一句可知，学会当地语言可以让国际商人很容易地沟通，选B．
33．答案C．推理判断题．根据前文"An attitude is a way of thinking or acting"可知，作者举例是为了说明态度是一种思考和行动的方式，故选C．
34．答案C．主旨大意题．根据第一段"Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures"可知，本文要讲解国际商业文化，故选C．
35．答案B．推理判断题．根据第二自然的"To avoid ethnocentrism，it's necessary to study the different elements（组成部分） of culture：language，values and attitudes，and customs and manners．"可知，本文介绍了语言、态度和价值观、及风俗习惯等，并提出了减少文化误解的建议，选B．

点评做推理判断类试题时我们不仅要弄懂文章字面的意思，更重要的是要知道文章潜在的含义，以及作者所给的提示．同时要对文章的含义和作者的暗示作合理的猜测和推论．关键是：意思要靠推断得出，而不是原文照搬．这就要把握住文章的主题思想和每段的内容；明确作者的观点及其写作该文的目的；分析文章里所给的有关信息；注意词汇在词典里的定义和词典以外的含义；最后运用自己的知识进行由表及里的逻辑推理，挖出文章的伏笔，得出正确的推论．

8．THE year of 2014has been jam-packed with events good，bad，and ugly．But no matter what has happened，smart people have always been busy inventing．
Here are some of the inventions of 2014that have helped to make the world better，smarter，and a little more fun．
‘Super banana'
Australian biogeneticist James Dale visited Uganda，a poor African country，in the early 2000s．There，he found that 15-30percent of children under 5were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vitamin A．Dale also learned that people there love bananas．They eat three to 11bananas a day．So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans'health．
With the help of Bill Gates'foundation，Dale developed the"super banana"．He added a gene to the fruit，making it rich in Vitamin A．In June，"super bananas"began human trials in the US．
Coaching basketball
Basketball is popular worldwide，partly because you only need a hoop and a ball to play the game．But this simple game has experienced a technology makeover this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball．
The ball，called the 94Fifty Basketball，has nine sensors inside．They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are．
With a Bluetooth chip inside，the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you in the voice of a coach to"snap your wrist （传旋转球）"，or"go faster"，depending on the data．
The Hovercraft
Thanks to the California-based company Hendo，flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reality．
The Hovercraft has four small engines．These create a special magnetic field which generates （产生） enough force to lift the board off the ground，according to kickstarter．com．
At the moment，the hoverboard can only float an inch off the ground for 15minutes and must fly over a metallic material．It's expensive too，at $10，000 （61，810yuan），but the company hopes that one day the technology could be used to improve the world．
Wireless electricity
Most of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet．We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars．But one company wants to go a step further，by combining wireless technology with electricity．
That's right，no more tangled （缠绕的） wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket in the corner of the room．WiTricity，a US company，has invented technology that can power objects up to 2.4meters away．It uses a special plug-in coil （线圈） that creates a magnetic field．

A．Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas．
B．Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas．

15．Hemrietta（aged 16）：The biggest problem with the environment is the ozone layer（臭氧层）； there's a hole，and it's getting bigger．It's made by cars and aeroplanes-things give off fumes．There should be law that you aren't allowed to go to school by cars because the fumes go up into the ozone layer and mess it up．
Erym（also aged 16）：The ozone layer's like a piece of paper covering a rock．It's meant to protect us．I'm scared that the hole will get bigger and move around the world and people will get cancer．I think about it sometimes in bed．That could happen in our time．We should stop using aerosols（喷雾），because they get pressed and all the poisons come out．And we could use horses instead of cars．
Hemrietta：We could get tandems--longer bikes，so children could ride on the back．Cars should be very，very expensive．I heard a woman on the radio saying she didn't care about the ozone layer because she wouldn't be alive，but it's our family who will die．
Erym：You also get bad pollution from burning down the rainforest．People should leave things alone if they don't own them．There should be fines for destroying the rainforest．And we should give money to poor people in Africa．
Hemrietta：We should spread out the people equally．"All those who want to live in Africa，put your hands up!"And then we could spread out the food．There's enough to go around．We could easily grow it．England's a very rich and greedy country．
Erym：We use up far more of the earth than people in Africa，so it's a good idea for the whole world to discuss the environment，but not prime ministers，because they always vote for their own side．The Queen should go instead．
