填空题Answer questions by referring to 3 passages concerning cultural differences. Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once. A=Passage One B=Passage Two C=Passage Three In which passage you will find ... Asian workers in American company has got emotional starvation? 21. ______ people are willing to give much information of their culture when asked? 22. ______ in one country, if you are punctual for a party, you will feel embarrassed? 23. ______ the idea that the interior world of people in different cultures are basically the same in nany aspects? 24. ______ misunderstanding arises because of different manners in showing refusal? 25. ______ a manager found his foreign stuff have complaints due to different understanding of me word? 26. ______ misunderstanding arises because of different manners in accepting compliments? 27. ______ before entering another culture, it is crucial to know different thinking patterns? 28. ______ if a person says, It's trouble some and I'm not much thirsty. you should offer him something to drink? 29. ______ is there much to be gained by observing how people of the same culture interact with each other? 30. ______ Passage One American and Chinese cultures are at polar opposites. An American hostess, complimented for her culinary skills, is likely to say, "Oh, I'm so glad you liked it. I cooked it especially for you." Not so a Chinese host or hostess, who will instead apologize profusely for giving you "nothing" even slightly edible and for not showing you enough honor by providing proper dishes. The Chinese take pride in "modesty"; the Americans in "straightforwardness". That modesty has left many a Chinese hungry at an American table, for Chinese politeness calls for three refusals before one accepts an offer, and the American hosts take a "no" to mean "no", whether it's the first, second, or third time. Recently, a number of a delegation sent to China by a large American corporation complained to me about how the Chinese had asked them three times if they would be willing to modify some proposal, and each time the Americans had said "no" clearly and definitely. My friend was incensed that the Chinese had not taken their word the first time. I recognized the problem immediately and wondered why the American had not studied up on cultural differences before coming to China. It would have saved them a lot of perplexity and needless frustration in their negotiation. Once you've learned the signals and how to respond, life becomes infinitely easier. When guests come, I know I should immediately ask if they'd like a cup of tea. They will respond, "Please don't bother," which is my signal to fetch tea. Passage Two An Asian engineer is assigned to a US laboratory and almost suffers a nervous breakdown. A US executive tells his staff he's going to treat them fairly — and creates dissension. Each of these real life cases involved people who were regarded as superior employees, but were ill-equipped to cope with the complexities and dangers of intercultural management. Never show the sole of your shoe to an Arab; never arrive on time for a party in Brazil; and in Japan, don't think "yes" means "yes", but simply learning the social "dos" and "don'ts" is not the answer, according to the new culture specialists. The penalties for ignoring different thinking patterns, they point out, can be disastrous. For example, the American manager who promised to be fair thought he was telling the Japanese staff that their hard work would be rewarded; but when some workers received higher salary increase than others, there were complaints. "You told us you'd be fair, and you lied to us," accused one salesman. "It took me a year and a half," signed the American, " to realize that 'fair', to my staff, means being treated equally." The Asian engineer who suffered in American was the victim of another mistaken expectation. He was accustomed to the warm group environment so typical in Japan. But in American company, everyone is expected to be self-starter, who thrives on working alone. For this Japanese it was emotional starvation. Passage Three As we interact with others of different cultures, there is no good substitute for receptiveness to interpersonal feedback, good observation skills, effective questions, and some horse sense. There is much to be gained by observing how people of the same culture interact with each other. Don't be afraid to ask questions as most people respond very positively to inquiries about their culture. Ask a variety of people so you can get a balanced view. Making a genuine effort to find the positive historical, literary, and cultural contributions of a society; learning a few polite expressions in another person's language; and showing appreciation for the food and music of another culture can have especially positive effects. The conclusion, then, is not that there are no cultural differences. These differences between cultures and peoples are real and can add richness (and humor) to the fabric of life. People everywhere have much in common, such as a need for affiliation and love, participation, and contribution. When the exterior is peeled off, there are not so many differences after all.

Colt
Radical, contemporary design in a stylish compact form—this describes the new Mitsubishi Colt. Not only is Colt fun to drive, it also excels in its combination of interior flexibility and roominess. Sitting on an advanced but compact platform with a long wheelbase, Colt offers excellent cabin space.
The people who designed the Colt are massively safety conscious. Colt models come generously equipped with
The Colt"s Auto Stop the boot space holds up to 882 liters of luggage and there are trays and storage compartments throughout the car. It"s perfect for a family-sized trip. Mitsubishi has tried to make everyone in the family equal, too. So, the seats in the second row can recline and slide backwards and forwards. This should end the squabbles about seating arrangements. When you want to get away from it all, with an easy switch from the two to the four-wheel drive mode you can explore the possibilities of what is a genuine off-road vehicle, ideal for families who love adventures. It will give you and your passengers all of the usual big-car protection and more (it"s engineered to achieve the absolute maximum Euro-NCAP 5-stars); it"s been designed to do it in such a way as to minimize injury to pedestrians or damage to smaller vehicles. The height of the Outlander makes it easy to look ahead, which you tend to do when you have a family. Impressively, then, the 2.0 DI-D has the lowest CO2 emissions of any seven seat 4×4 and achieves over 40 mpg.1.

填空题Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become a "Me Generation" that rejects traditional values.
"Around 1980 many Japanese,
1
young people abandoned the values of economic success and began
2
for new sets of values to
3
them happiness," writes sociologist Yasuhiro in Comparative Civilizations Review. Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual"s pursuit of
4
and less on the values of work, family, and society.
Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work,
5
their counterparts in the United States and Korea. In a 1993
6
of college students in the three countries, only 10% of the Japanese regarded
7
as a primary value compared with 47% of Korean students and 27% of American students. A greater
8
of Japanese aged 18-24 also preferred easy jobs
9
heavy responsibility.
The younger Japanese are showing less concern for family values as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected
10
the Japanese government in 1993 shows that only 23% of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast
11
63% of young Americans. It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are
12
both respect for their parents
13
a sense of responsibility to the family. Author Yoshizaki attributes the change
14
Japanese parents" over-indulgence of their children, material affluence, and growing
15
for private matters.
The shift
16
individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among
17
very young. According to 1991 data
18
the Bunka Center of Japan, 50% of Japanese youth aged 16-19 can be labeled "self-centered" compared with 33% among
19
aged 25-29. To earn the self-centered label, the young people responded positively to
20
ideas as "I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values" and "I don"t want to do anything I can"t enjoy doing."
填空题Canada's premiers (the leaders of provincial governments), if they have any breath left after complaining about Ottawa at their late July annual meeting, might spare a moment to do something, to reduce health-care costs. They're all groaning about soaring health budgets, the fastest-growing components of which are pharmaceutical costs.66. ______. What to do? Both the Romanow commission and the Kirby committee on health care -- to say nothing of reports from other experts -- recommended the creation of a national drug agency. Instead of each province having its own list of approved drugs, bureaucracy, procedures and limited bargaining power, all would pool resources, work with Ottawa, and create a national institution.67. ______. But "national" doesn't have to mean that. "National" could mean interprovincial -- provinces combining efforts to create one body. Either way, one benefit of a "national" organization would be to negotiate better prices, if possible, with drug manufacturers. Instead of having one province -- or a series of hospitals within a province -- negotiate a price for a given drug on tile provincial list, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of all provinces. Rather than, say, Quebec, negotiating on behalf of seven million people, the national agency would negotiate on behalf of 31 million people. Basic economics suggests the greater the potential consumers, the higher the likelihood of a better price.68. ______. A small step has been taken in the direction of a national agency with the creation of the Canadian Coordinating Office for Health technology assessment, funded by Ottawa and the provinces. Under it, a Common Drug Review recommends to provincial lists which new drugs should be included. Predictably, and regrettably, Quebec refused to join. A few premiers are suspicious of any federal-provincial deal-making. They (particularly Quebec and Alberta) just want Ottawa to fork over additional billions with few, if any, strings attached. That's one reason why the idea of a national list hasn't gone anywhere, while drug costs keep rising fast.69. ______. Premiers love to quote Mr Romanow's report selectively, especially the parts about more federal money. Perhaps they should read what he had to say about drugs: "A national drug agency would provide governments more influence on pharmaceutical companies in order to try to constrain the ever-increasing cost of drugs."70. ______. So when the premiers gather in Niagara Falls to assemble their usual complaint lists, they should also get cracking about something in their jurisdiction that would help their budgets and patients. [A] Quebec's resistance to a national agency is provincialist ideology. One of the first advocates for a national list was a researcher at Laval University. Quebec's Drug Insurance Fund has seen its costs skyrocket with annual increases from 14.3 percent to 26.8 percent! [B] Or they could read Mr Kirby's report: "The substantial buying power of such an agency would strengthen the public prescription-drug insurance plans to negotiate the lowest possible purchase prices from drug companies." [C] What does "national" mean? Roy Romanow and Senator Michael Kirby recommended a federal provincial body much like the recently created National Health Council. [D] Of course, the pharmaceutical companies will scream. They like divided buyers; they can lobby better that way. They can use the threat of removing jobs from one province to another. They can hope that, if one province includes a drug on its list; the pressure will cause others to include it on theirs. They wouldn't like a national agency, but self-interest would lead them to deal with it. [E] According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, prescription-drug costs have risen since 1997 at twice the rate of overall health-care spending. Part of the increase comes from drugs being used to replace other kinds of treatment. Part of it arises from new drugs costing more than older kinds. Part of it is higher prices. [F] So, if the provinces want to run the health-care show, they should prove they can run it, starting with an interprovincial health list that would end duplication, save administrative cost, prevent one province from being played off against another, and bargain for better drug prices.

填空题Confucianism has its greatest effect among European countries in 71. ______ The first person who used Confucianism to express Christianity was from 72. ______ More than one thousand years ago, students were sent to China to study Confucianism. They came from 73. ______ Centuries ago, in ______, the government even set up universities and hold ceremonies in memory of Confucius. 74. ______ Confucius has been given a thorough study and review for the sake of capital expansion in 75. ______ War and development motivated the study of Confucianism in 76. ______ In ______, Confucius' teachings can even find its reflection in the Declaration of the Right of Man and of the Citizen. 77. ______ The earliest classical books of Confucius translated into European language appeared in 78. ______ Confucianism has its most influential power upon foreign countries in 79. ______ In recent thirty years, Confucius and Confucianism are introduced and discussed systematically in 80. ______ In Japan It has been a long history of 1750 years ever since Confucianism was introduced into this country. Confucius' teachings are in every field of the social life in Japan. Its influence on the people's moral concepts and views about education are the deepest in Japan. It was in the 16th year of Mikado (285 A. D. ) that Confucius' teachings began to be introduced to Japan. In the year the suggestion of a Korean envoy was adopted and Wang Ren, a Chinese court academician was sent to Japan to present to the Mikado ten copies of Lun Yu (The Analects of Confucius) and a copy of an Article of a Thousand Words (Qian Zi Wen). Wang Ren's arriving at Japan is generally regarded as the beginning of Confucianism being spread in the country. Confucius' teachings were accepted by both the government and the public. Confucianism quickly took its roots among the people and developed constantly. Combined with the conditions in Japan Confucianism has gradually become part of the national culture of the country. During the time of Sui dynasty and Tang dynasty Japan sent many students to China to study Confucianism. Under the influence of Confucius' theory about a unified domain, Japanese successfully carried the DAIKA Reform after which Japanese society started to transit from a slavish society to a feudal society. The person pulling strings behind the scenes of the reform was a great Confucianist who had studied in China for 20 to 30 years. During the 200 years after the reform Japan had sent to China 19 groups of envoys. The country did its utmost to import the culture of Tang dynasty, develop national education based on Confucianism, spread the thought of the sage, set up universities and hold ceremonies in memory of Confucius. In the years of EDO Confucius' teachings were unprecedentedly popular. The ruling class people took the lead in reading the classical books of Confucianism, setting up education based on Confucianism, building Confucius' Temples. Education was developed, people of talents came forth in large numbers and the academic circle reached to its flourishing time. The major schools include School of Yonego, School of Yang Ming, School of Mito, School of Kogaku, School of Eclecticism, School of Textual Research. Since the beginning of 20'th century, especially in the late thirty years, among countries except China the study of Confucianism is best developed in Japan. Not only that Confucianism influenced Japanese society in the past 1 000 years, it also has great effect on the people at present time. In Italy China is one of the birth places of human civilization. As the kernel of the traditional culture of ancient China, Confucius' teachings greatly influenced not only the historical development of Oriental society, but also the social life of some European countries. Confucius' influence on Italy has something to do with the missionaries who came to China to do missionary work. In 1582, the Society of Jesus sent Matteo Ricci to China. In order to do their missionary work well he studied Confucianism very hard. Matteo Ricci was the first person who used Confucianism to express Christianity. He arrived in Beijing in 1601 and lived there for years. He published the Latin version of the Four $ bus which were the earliest classical books of Confucius translated into European Language. Matteo Ricci had made some contributions to the cultural exchange between the East and the West, so in Italy he was called "the first man who facilitated the flow of culture between China and Western countries", "Learned Western Confucianist" and "Christian Confucius". The study of Confucius in today's Italy has made some progress and several groups of books about Confucius have been published. In France Among European countries, Confucianism has its greatest effect in France. It was introduced to France soon after it was introduced to Italy. During the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, Confucianism had made some positive contributions to the bourgeois revolution in France. Among the great thinkers Confucianism mainly influenced the Encyclopedism dism school and Physiocratic school. Its influence on the French Revolution can be seen in the Declaration of the Right of Man and of the Citizen, drafted by Robespierre, leader of Jacobin Club, the declaration says that freedom is the right belonging to all those who do not do harm to others, the principle of freedom is nature, the rule is justice, the guarantee is the law and the moral limits are in the following, '"Don't treat others in the way you do not want to be treated. " The Chinese Study Institute of Paris University is the major one that studies Confucianism in France. The subjects include Confucianist Classics and Confucianism. In Grand Larousse Encyclopedique (published in 1973), under the entry of Confucius, Confucius and Confucianism are introduced and discussed systematically. As a representative work of Confucian study in France it starts its discussion with Confucius and ends with Mr. Feng Youlan, a Chinese expert at Confucian study. In America Through missionary activities Americans began to study Confucianism, motivated by capital expansion. The study has been pushed forward while the U. S. -China policy and international conditions are changing frequently. From the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century, especially during World War Ⅰ and World War Ⅱ , more attention was paid to the work because of political and military reasons. The founding of the People's Republic of China and the triumph of China and Korea over America in Korean War made Americans feel it necessary to work even harder in the study of Chinese history and present conditions. As a result, Confucianism which has influenced Chinese in the history and at present time was paid great attention to, especially in the years after 1960's because of the international conditions, especially the Sino-U. S. relationship, Chinese study in America, including the study of Confucius, developed quickly. In the American academic field Confucius has been given a thorough study and review. More and more Americans began to understand and respect Confucius as a famous intellectual in Chinese history and Confucianism as the representative of Chinese feudal traditional culture. In People's Almanac Handbook, published in 1985 in America, Confucius heads the list of the ten great thinkers in the world.

{{B}}A{{/B}} The Government is going to give new "job
splitting" grants to employers willing to offer part-time work to people
claiming unemployment benefit. The next scheme, which took many
union leaders and large employers by surprise yesterday night, will be announced
in detail in the autumn. It is intended to cost the taxpayer nothing because of
savings in unemployment benefit. The proposal, unveiled last night by Mr, Norman
Tebbit, Secretary of State for Employment, will be in addition to the new
Community Programme for the long-term unemployed. Mr. Tebbit
said that under the scheme a vacancy could be offered to two unemployed people,
one existing full-time employee or two existing full-time employees if one of
them would otherwise have been made redundant. The Employment
Secretary suggested yesterday that workers reaching retirement might find the
idea of sharing their job attractive, if pensions could be secured. But he also
said that firms might find it attractive to offer one vacancy to two school
leavers. In a sharp reaction to the Community Programme, Mr.
Nicholas Hinton, director of the National Council for Voluntary Organizations,
whose members will be expected to sponsor many of the new places, said: "The
Government is trying to spread too little money too thinly among too many people
and many voluntary organizations are suspicious of its motives. "

Few people believe that unemployment in the United Kingdom will fall
favorably below the 3.2 million mark, or 13.4 percent of the labour force,
during the next few years. The remarkable rise in productivity over the past
year will, if it continues, make it even more difficult to tackle unemployment.
Many firms are confident that they can meet any increase in demand without
hiring extra staff. Remedies more imaginative and more permanent
than those tried so far are needed. The Government's job-splitting scheme
announced on Tuesday is one example that should be welcomed. Another good idea
is Rank Xerox's "networking" plan, by which executives would be able to work
part-time from home. The possibilities of work-sharing need to be more
vigorously investigated, on the lines indicated by a recent OECD study. If the
total hours of work required are not going to increase-with output rising thanks
to improved productivity-then let us try to share those working hours more
equitably among the labour force. Work-sharing helps to produce
new jobs by reducing the working hours of those in existing jobs. The danger
with work-sharing is that employees may expect to be paid more per hour for
working shorter hours, and that fixed labour costs will rise as the numbers on
the payroll increase. Many employers therefore fear that the effect on costs and
prices would be inflationary. The Government is therefore subsidizing employers
to participate in its job-splitting scheme. Most kinds of
work-sharing involve marginal cuts of a few per cent in total working hours, and
thus only modest increases in the number of jobs. The biggest difference would
be made if a substantial number of full-time jobs could be turned into part-time
jobs. The Government's role would be to adapt the tax and social security system
to make part-time work more attractive to employers and employees, notably by
ensuring that as many part-time employees as possible escape both tax and social
security payment. The social effects of work-sharing, are likely
to be beneficial, since it would involve an attempt to match work opportunities
to a wider variety of life styles. The combination of one fulltime and one
part-time spouse might become much more universal.

Part-timers usually earn less per hour than a full-timer, have fewer
fringe benefits and less job security. They have virtually no career prospects.
Employers often think that working parttime means that a person has no ambition
and no chance of promotion. But job-sharing bridges that gap and
offers the chance of interesting work to people who can only work part-time and
that does not mean just married women. As Adrienne Broyle of "New Ways to
Work"-formally the London Job-sharing Project-points out: "There are various
reasons why people want to job-share and so have more spare time. " A growing
number of men want to job-share so that they can play an active role in bringing
up their children. It allows people to study at home in their free time, and
means that disabled people or those who otherwise stay at home to look after
them, can work. Job-sharing is also an ideal way for people to ease into to
retirement. Many employers are wary of new work schemes, but an
investigation carried out by the EOC shows that they can profit in various ways
from sharing. If one sharer is away sick, at least half the job continues to be
done. Skilled workers who cannot work full-time can bring years of experience to
a job. Half-timers have to work flat out without a tea break.
Another attraction is that two people bring to one job twice as much experience,
sets of ideas and discussion. But there are financial pitfalls
for the job-sharers. If one becomes unemployed, he should be
eligible for Unemployment Benefit. But he has to sign on as being available for
full-time work. Otherwise, he can not claim the benefit.
Pensions are a big block. The EOC paper points out that the Local
Government Superannuation Scheme excludes people who work less than 30 hours a
week. For those who are attracted to job-sharing, beware. Most
occupational pension schemes are based either on the average annual earnings
during membership of the scheme or on the employee's final salary.

Henri Matisse
Henri Matisse is famous for the wonderful colours of his paintings and for their pleasing, decorative effect. In an interview in 1952, Matisse said: "First of all, I must say that there is no single abstract art. If the subject of a painting isn"t important, if Acre is no story in the picture, then it is abstract." Today the artist doesn"t need to represent objects. However, even though he has to concentrate on the picture he must remember the object and his feelings for the object. One starts with the object, then the feelings follow. One doesn"t start from nothing. Today, too many so-called abstract painters start from nothing and so they arrive at nothing. They have no strength, no inspiration, no feeling. One doesn"t find any expression of feeling in their colors. They don"t relate their colors to each other. If they can"t create relationships they are using colors uselessly. The French word "rapport" means the connection between things. "Rapport" is love. Without "rapport", without love, there is no way of choosing what to do. Without love there is no art.
Matisse shows us in this interview that he wanted to paint colours and shapes which are related to each other rather than to object and scenes. He wanted to express feelings and didn"t want to describe objects in a photographic way. Most artists since 1900 have had a similar aim.
Francis Bacon
Francis Bacon once told a BBC interviewer, "I have nothing to express." However, for many people who look at his pictures, Bacon expresses horror, loneliness, violence and oppression. There is no love in these paintings. The people don"t have a warm and a friendly spirit. They are trapped and desperate animals rather than people. Some times the paint is smeared across the picture and expresses anger and violence, but the subject might be love making or is it fighting?
Francis Bacon doesn"t want to show us angry people. He wants to show us angry paint! Then we will feel anger and not just see it. (In a similar way, the quality of the voice in anger is more important than the words themselves.) Paint, of course, can"t be angry! However, lines and shapes can express anger and it is lines of this kind which fill Bacon"s pictures. Compare the lines and movement in Bacon"s picture with the picture by Van de Velde and indeed many other pictures in the book.
Bacon says that art used to be an expression of religion and artists had hope through religion. Now, he says, we have no religion and artists have no hope. Art is a game. Artists concentrate on the game and don"t have to think about the awful unknown.
In one important way Francis Bacon is a traditional painter. His painting are seen more or less from one viewpoint. And it is true that he is more concerned with expressing feeling than he is with telling a story which is quite clear and can be put into words.
Mark Rothko
Rothko"s paintings are very big. He said, "I want to be intimate and human. If you paint a small picture you are outside it and you control it. If you paint a big picture you are in it." However, I don"t agree that we remain outside a smaller picture.
Rothko liked tragic and timeless subjects. He painted large areas of color with soft edges. His paintings are like landscapes with huge areas of sky and land but, of course, there is no detail; there are no trees and buildings, there are not clouds and birds. Before 1957 he painted light, bright pictures, but then he began to use dark colors. He felt his paintings had a religious meaning, and he wanted to affect people. He didn"t want to paint "social" paintings like Leger, but to paint beautiful and eternal symbols.
