         Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and
    where and how one entertains. In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite
    people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes.
    However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as
    a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a "help yourself" method of
    entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture
    teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese
    guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to
    take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to
    cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she
    was not serving quickly enough.
         As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular
    interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the
    "hometown" gift you are bringing to Singapore is not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry
    symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts.
    The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with
    legal department in the home and host culture.
    1. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where _____.
    A. people don't pay any attention to your positions
    B. people care much about their statuses
    C. entertainment is important
    D. entertainment is not advisable
    2. The Chinese guest is taken for an example to show ________.
    A. that offering food should not be made too early
    B. a "help yourself" method works well in this case
    C. that accepting an offer of food should be made later
    D. a "help yourself" method does not work well in some cases
    3. The passage infers that American women like _________.
    A. a "help yourself" method
    B. waiting to be served
    C. a slow service
    D. cream and sugar
    4. _________ is especially proper, when you are invited to a dinner party.
    A. A big gift
    B. Large payment as a gift
    C. A small gift from one's home
    D. A gift form Singapore

    　　In Glacier National Park, which is in the Rocky Mountains of Montana, there once roamed a little deaf Indian boy. He loved to wander in the forest, and made friends with the animals who lived there. Since he loved animals, he would observe them intently and learn their habits. This little Indian boy's name was John Lewis Clarke.

    　　John Lewis Clarke's grandfather was a graduate from West Point and a captain in the U. S. Army. He was married to the daughter of a Blackfoot Indian Chief and adopted by the tribe. His son, John Lewis Clarke's father, also married an Indian princess, the daughter of Chief Stands Alone. Sadly, John's grandfather was later killed by Indians of another tribe near Helena, Montana.

    　　John Lewis Clarke was not born deaf. He became ill at a young age with scarlet fever. Though he survived, he could no longer hear the sounds that the forest animals made. He could not hear his Indian friends when they called to him. Scarlet fever had caused him to lose his hearing. His Indian friends gave him the name Cutapuis (Cu-ta-pu-ee) which means, “man who talks not.”

    　　Because John could not talk, he could not tell his parents about his many animal friends in the forest and the exciting things that he saw, but he found another way to express himself. He made figures of them out of clay(粘土) from the river banks. Later, when he was older, he learned to carve things out of wood. He loved to carve animals. With an axe and a pocket knife, he carved a life-sized image of a bear from a cedar trunk. The bear looked so real, the only thing missing was its growl.

    　　When John was old enough to go to school, his parents sent him to the Fort Shaw Indian School. However, since he needed special education, he was transferred to a school for the deaf at Boulder, Montana. He also attended the School for the Deaf at Devil's Lake, North Dakota. When he was older, he enrolled at St. Francis Academy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he studied wood carving. While he was still in his teens, John returned to Montana and opened a studio. He began to carve all the animals he had known very well in his childhood, and offer them for sale. He made models of animals out of wood, clay, and stone. He painted pictures using water colors and oils, and did excellent pen and ink drawings. He began to make a name for himself as an artist.

    　　John spent most of his 89 years at his home studio in Glacier Park. Every year when the park season was over, he continued his work in Great Falls, Montana, his second home. Many important people bought John's work. John D． Rockefeller, Jr., the famous multimillionaire, was one of them. John's work was on exhibit in many places in this country. John died on November 20,1970. In his life-time, he literally carved his way to fame.

    1．John probably started to use American Sign Language as soon as ________.

    [　　]

    A．he became deaf

    B．he entered a school for the deaf

    C．he could make figures out of clay

    A．the environment he grew up has influenced him

    B．he was an Indian

    C．it was his way of expressing ideas

    D．he did not like people

    3．“The bear looked so real. The only thing missing was its growl.” This phrase means ________.

    [　　]

    A．John forgot to add one more thing

    B．the bear was missing

    C．the bear missed growling

    D．the bear looked perfect except that it could not make any sound

    B．only a residential school for the deaf

    　　The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant．The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages．Text messages(also called SMS)through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s．At first, mobile phone companies thought that text measuring would be a good way to messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other．Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called“texting．”

    　　A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short．In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter．In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like“r”for“are”,“u”for“you”, and“2”for“to”．Several letters can also represent a phrase, like“lol”for“laughing out loud”．Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling“please”as“pls”．

    　　Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing．Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing．Other people believe texting will disappear soon．New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past．
