Passage 3 If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with web pals , you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English. And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF ( = sense of humor failure) to describe Intemet newcomers who don't understand you. Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are talking online, many of them all talking at the same time. It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three Or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers. And it requires tremendous linguistic economy . There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why con- sume precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/I., thenearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and loca- tion. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF , or LOL , or combing the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing). And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG or TTYL . People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the "shift" key and capitals. Punctuation is going, too. 【查看更多】

    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

          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
