举一反三
One is not born able to speak a language.One is born able to make a noise.I have heard babies cry in America and in China.I can"t tell any difference.But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
 I believe a common problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English.They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, Then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English.After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally.You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study.Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak.There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English.Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
小题1:The cries of American and Chinese babies are ________.
A.different B.the sameC.not like each otherD.like each other
小题2:The underlined sentence ( in Paragraph 2 ) means that ________.
A.some teachers didn"t teach students to think in English
B.teachers never gave the students the way of learning English
C.students didn"t remember the way teachers taught them
D.teachers didn"t want their students to think in English
小题3:The underlined word “they” ( in Paragraph 2 ) refers to “________”.
A.Chinese studentsB.English students
C.Chinese teachersD.English teachers
小题4:According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?

Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe.The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form.The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.
Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living.From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays.In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.
Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society.Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (从事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small.Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.
The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity.Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American.The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.
小题1:In describing the uniformity in the U.S.the author does not mention that the American people       .
A.get up and go to work at the same time
B.spend their holidays in the same pattern
C.buy and eat the same kind of food
D.have more or less the same income
小题2:What can we learn from the passage about the U.S.agriculture?
A.The American farmers need more land.
B.Americans are interested in farming.
C.It is now going backward.
D.It is quite developed.
小题3:The last paragraph suggests that ___      .
A.the production size in the United States is very big
B.a single economic unit produces the same kind of products
C.there are more and more competing manufactures
D.people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.
小题4:The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to      .
A.in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses
B.in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc
C.in their land, housing and bank savings
D.in their wealth and income

  China is the biggest market in the world, and many countries such as Germany, the USA, the UK and Russia do a lot of business in China. Let’s have a look at some important tips to help you be successful when dealing with these nationalities,                                          
First, you must be punctual(准时的) with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, it’s important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight o’clock! With Russians, you should always be on time, though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!
It is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries. In Russia, designer clothes are very common.. Don’t be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have "dress down Friday", when people wear casual (随便的) clothes.
In Germany, first names are only used by family members and close friends, so be prepared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, so use titles and last names.
In conversation, the British and the Americans value humour, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British and the Americans, but avoid talking about politics. In Russia, say positive (积极的)things about their country, but avoid making complaints(抱怨). The Germans, however, prefer to get straight down to business!
So, use these tips, and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!
小题1:Which color should you NOT wear when meeting a person from the USA?
A.Dark blue.B.Gray.C.Black.D.White.
