Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.

The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社會(huì)), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.

In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(請求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

1.What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

A. Their different ways of doing business.

B. Their different lifestyles.

C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.

D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.

2.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign________businessmen” in Paragraph One?

A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.

B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.

C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.

D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.

3.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.

B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.

C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.

D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.

4. From the passage we can infer(推斷) that __________.

A. Japanese businessmen are good at business

B. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business

C. foreign businessmen must be more polite

D. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e 1. . So they simply ignore(忽視) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h 2. a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s 3. it with all of you.

Once, there’s a young man w 4. looked down on the old. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻煩事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father. One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t __5._ . As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l 6. the falling leaves from a dying tree.”

Hearing this, the father smiled but said nothing. They continued the walking in s 7. . When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut（核桃）and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”

“But every fruit was born by f _8.__.” Refuted(反駁) the son.

“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”

From then on, I always keep this story in my m 9. . It has taught me a lot.

We should try to be a flower that can bear fruit. We also have to know that our parents aren’t nuisances, b 10. experienced walnuts, works of nature.
