10.Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal(信号).Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in"small talk",usually over a glass of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead,there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realized that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values; however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

32.In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people toA.
A.develop closer relations        B.share the same culture
C.get to know each other          D.keep each other company
33.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show thatD.
A.the English prefer to make long speeches
B.too many words are of no use
C.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D.even talk and silence can be culturally different
34.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better?C
A.By sharing different ways of life. B.By accepting different habits.
C.By recognizing different values.   D.By speaking each other's languages.
35.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Multicultural Environment     B.Cross-Cultural Differences
C.How to Understand Each Other  D.How to Build Up a Relationship.

7.The iPhone,the iPad:each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter"i"?and many other brands are following suit.The BBC's iPlayer?which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet?adopted the title in 2008.A lovely bear?popular in the US and UK?that plays music and video is called"iTeddy".
A slimmed-down version of London's Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name"i".
In general,single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 199Cb,when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most"i"products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent's i,it s no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter"i".Why not use"a","b",or"c"instead?According to Tony Thome,head of the Language Center at King's College,London,"i"works because its meaning has become ambiguous.When Apple uses"i",no one knows whether it means Internet,information,individual or interactive,Thome told BBC Magazines."Even when Apple created the iPod,it seems it didn't have one clear definition,"he says.
"However,thanks to Apple,the term is now associated with portability (轻便?)."adds Thorne. Clearly the letter"i"also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.
Each person believes they have their own needs,and we love personalized products for this reason. Along with"Google"and"blog",readers of BBC Magazines voted"i"as one of the top 20 words
that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows,people grow tired of fads.From the 1900s to 1990s,products with"2000"in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modem.However,as we entered the new century,the trend inevitably disappeared.
66.People use iPlayer toC.
A.listen to music                                    B.make a call
C.watch TV programs online                           D.read newspapers
67.We can infer that the Independent's"i"is aimed atA   
A.young readers                                      B.old readers
C.fashionable women                                  D.engineers
68.The underlined word"ambiguous"means"B".
A.popular         B.uncertain        C.definite        D.unique
69.Nowadays,-the"i"term often reminds people of the products whichA.
A.portable                            B.environmentally friendly
C.advanced                             D.recyclable
70.The writer suggests thatD.
A."i"products are often of high quality
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter"b"replaces letter"i"to name the products
D.the popularity of"i"products may not last long.
