write an article. As everyone knows,westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant. But
Chinese don"t go Dutch. Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously. Westerners don"t often
entertain guests;but Chinese often invite friends to dinner. A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this
question.
Why does there exist such a difference? First of all,food systems between China and West are
different. Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System;westerners put into practice Individual Dining
System. Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food. Please note it is sharing,but westerners just eat the food in one"s own plate. If you eat beef and he eats chicken,it is
impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken. The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate.
So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat Westernstyle food. And I want to ask you a question. Do you like the free thing? I think nobody doesn"t like the free thing. OK! Suppose I invite you to eat the
delicious Chinese food,then I pay the bill. This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese
food free. So you will be very glad. It will strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere.
Secondly,westerners eat for the health;Chinese eat for the friendship. Westerners advocate
individualism and independence is strong. So westerners express that respect for each other"s
independence through the way go Dutch. Chinese like making friends and solidarity. Chinese value the
interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much.
Third,it is only simple "Have a meal!" for westerners to entertain guests. Unlike the purpose and the
means that Chinese entertain guests,in Americans" idea,"Have a meal" definition is to add fuel to the body
for keeping health and normal life activity. That is to say,there is not any additional value. In the Chinese
idea,"Have a meal" not only is a kind of life enjoyment,but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends. After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food,you are glad,and I am glad,too. The friendship
between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere.
B. Either part will pay for the meal.
C. They will go to Dutch for a meal.
D. They can enjoy a meal free of charge.
________.
B. the purpose for health and for the friendship
C. health maintenance and life enjoyment
D. opposition and dependence
B. Chinese would like the free meal so they never pay the bill.
C. Westerners don"t value the friendship so they never pay the meal for others.
D. Chinese attitudes towards the meal seem more complicated than westerners".
B. the way of strengthening the friendship
C. the meaning of a meal
D. the dinner set used for a meal
B. the various styles of food between the West and China

举一反三
situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear
a word invented in Japan, "DINK", which means Double Income No Kids.
In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high.
A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3000,000 (though prices
have fallen). For a flat with one bedrooms, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will
pay about $900 a month. What"s more, if they want to have a child, the child"s education is very
expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In such a situation, it"s
difficult to afford children.
The number of married women who want to continue working because they enjoy their jobs.
However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most
companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with
babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to
work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose
between having children or keeping their jobs.
In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
B. The changing social situation of women.
C. The high prices of houses and education.
D. The necessary steps of Asian government.
B. The prices of in Asia are quite low now.
C. Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.
D. The word "DINKS" appeared in an Asian country.
B. 85,900
C. $10.800
D. $15.800
B. allow one of the parents to go out to work
C. care for the growing needs of women for job.
D. the companies that permit women to leave.
Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together
and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with
his parents when he was a teenager.
"I would never have said to my mom, "Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like
it?" " says Ballmer. "There was just a complete gap in taste."
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier
generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families.
Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now
they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling
of trust and friendship that can continue int0 adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friend."
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents. "There"s still a
lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening," says
Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of
confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the
1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic
process that encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the "before" side of that change, but today"s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on
the "after" side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It"s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,
because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be
a parent now."
B. distance
C. difference
D. separation
B. Parents put more trust in their children"s abilities.
C. Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D. Parents share more interests with their children.
parents _________.
B. can set a limit to the change
C. fail to take the change seriously
D. have little difficulty adjusting to the change
B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship
C. suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
D. compare today"s parent-child relationship with that in the past
ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the
environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into
urban areas around the world.
"The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing," says Gomer Jones, president
of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New
York"s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying
squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country"s
largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly
seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in
the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many
cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been
built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have
been created. The Greater London Council last year spent£750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble from derelict
lots. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
For peregrine falcons, cities are actually safer than rural cliff dwellings (悬崖栖息地). By 1970 the
birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.
That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities
afforded abundant food.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they
can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated. Such habitats can even be functional. In San
Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only
which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
B. tour books are not always a reliable source of information
C. London is a city of fox
D. foxes are highly adaptable to environment
B. Wildlife is appreciated in the cities.
C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities
D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities
B. described
C. counted
D. excluded
B. Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
C. Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D. Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem
B. Foxes returning to London
C. Wild animals living in zoos
D. A survey of wildlife in New York
up trying to find jobs in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, first-tier cities in China that have been
considered dream places for many, because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs.
The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday"s
job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students. The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better.
The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students with 7,382 positions.
"The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable," said Wang Jian from Nanjing Normal
University, who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, but
in the face of huge pressures, he has no choice but to be "realistic."
People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3,000 yuan ($450) and 4,000 yuan, but in Shanghai, 5,000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will
remain a dream,
A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because "living costs in Shanghai are too high."
An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary. "I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200,000 yuan a year," he said.
"Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don"t have, but the high
housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe," said Ren Leiming from the job
service center of Jiangsu"s colleges and universities.
"First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding, and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily," said Ren.
_____.

C .they can"t make full use of their knowledge and skills there .
D. monthly salaries there are low compared with those in other cities .

B. The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students and laid-off workers with 7,382 positions.
C. The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 personnel managers who were attending
Sunday"s job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students.
D. A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology turned down an offer from a Shanghai
company of 7,000 yuan a month
B. people can easily be outstanding in smaller cities.
C. he would rather go to first-tier cities than smaller cities.
D. talents are more welcome in first-tier cities than smaller ones.
goods or services of a company or a group of companies. Another purpose of a brand is to contrast
one company from another. The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability to create,
maintain, protect, and enhance the brands of their products and services. Branding has become so
important that today hardly any company or product is without one. Therefore, brand management is
an increasingly important element in marketing.
Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company"s brand in the minds of consumers, and can
influence consumers" choice of products. Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand
loyalty and strong brand associations, name recognition, perceived quality and other assets to a company. A strong brand can be one of a company"s most important assets.
High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages. A powerful brand enjoys
a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty. Because consumers expect stores to carry the
brand, the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商). And because
the brand name brings high credibility, a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new
products with the same brand name.
Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their business.
When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour, form, colour or package size in a
given product category and under the same brand name, it is called a line extension. Another strategy
is called brand extension. This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified
products in a new category, thereby employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new
products.
Brand recognition is certainly important. Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions
about brands, high brand power ensure a company continued sales of its products.
B. advantages
C. aspects
D. elements
B. a high brand usually sets a much higher price
C. it"s easy for a high brand company to launch new products
D. a high brand company is more competitive when doing business with retailers
B. means the expansion of a company"s business in its established field
C. takes place when the company introduces a similar item but with a new colour
D. refers to the use of an established brand name to promote a new product in a new category
B. Famous Brands
C. Company Brands
D. Brand Products
