閱讀理解。
     The rise of multinational corporations (跨國公司), global marketing, new communications
technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have led to an unparalleled increase in global
public relations or PR.
     Surprisingly, since modern PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public
relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the
world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The
British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that
more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planning
activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London
replaces New York as the capital of PR.
     Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First, Americans as a whole tend to
be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography,
for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European
and Asian counterparts (相對應(yīng)的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of
Burson-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the
same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent
in a second language. Finally, people involved in PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on
international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street
Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London
and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.
     Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN (Cable News Network).
Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news
broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world
so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.
1. According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened because _______.
A. an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companies
B. shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologies
C. the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.
D. increased efforts of other countries in public relations
2. London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ________.
A. British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companies
B. British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companies
C. British companies are heavily involved in planning activities
D. Four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned
3. The word "provincial" in Para.3 most probably means"________."
A. limited in outlook
B like people from the provinces
C. rigid in thinking
D interested in world financial affairs
4. We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ________.
A. speak at least one foreign language fluently
B. are ignorant about world geography
C. are not as sophisticated as their European counterparts
D. enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications
5. What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?______
A. American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.
B. The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.
C. People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.
D. People involved in PR should avoid using the word "foreign".
