单选题The New Office Where would you rather do your work: a nine coffeehouse or a busy office? More and more, people are able to do their work with a good cup of coffee in the friendly environment of their local coffeehouse. With a powerful laptop and a mobile phone, it isn't necessary to be tied to a desk any more. Next time you're out for a coffee, look around you. That man in the corner could be an advertising executive writing an advertisement that you'll be seeing on TV in the near future. That woman in a dark coat talking to a man could be discussing his pension. And the young woman typing away could be finishing a business proposal. it's certainly a new world, and you could join it more easily than you think. According to a survey, 7.6 million Americans now work at home or away from a traditional office. Many organizations realize that people like working away from the office and are trying to create incentives to encourage more people to telecommute. As well as making workers happier, it reduces pollution as fewer people travel to work. But it's net a perfect life. One telecommuter, who finds he can concentrate better in a coffeehouse than at home, complained about the lack of electrical outlets. Another person at work on her computer said that she didn't like to feel under pressure to buy something. Both admitted, however, that these were minor difficulties compared with the problems they used to face in a big office. Coffee houses provide the sense of community that the office used to provide, but without the stress. They may be great places to relax, concentrate, meet friends and business contacts, but they are businesses, too, and they rely on customers buying their products. But where else could you get your work done, enjoy doing it, have good company, great coffee, and all for less than the cost of driving to work every day?

more particularly because it is the mainspring of our country's economic, social
and cultural life. Already more than seven hundred years old,
our compact city has more of which it can be proud: world-class orchestras and
dance groups, more than forty renowned museums, almost a thousand restaurants
serving cuisine from countries around the globe, gabled mansions and magnificent
churches from the 17th century Golden Age. But, as
Amsterdammers. we are most proud of our tradition of hospitality. We really want

pride.

单选题·Read the article below about problems in doing international trade.·For
each question 23-28 on the opposite page, choose the correct answer.·Mark
one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.
{{B}}Problems in doing international trade{{/B}}When companies do business
overseas, they come in contact with people from different cultures. These
individuals often speak a different language and have their own particular
custom and manners. These differences can create problems. For example, in
France, business meetings begin promptly at the designated time and everyone is
expected to be there. Foreign business people who are tardy are often left
outside to be kept waiting as a means of letting them know the importance of
promptness. Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up
insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations.A
second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions. For example, if a
transaction is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles. Of course,
this currency is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore,
necessary to convert the foreign currency to American dollars. How much are
these Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars? This conversion rate is
determined by every market, where the currencies of countries are bought and
sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it will often fluctuate from
day to day. For example, the ruble may be worth 0.75 on Monday and 0.72 on
Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia. In addition, there is
the dilemma associated with converting at 0.72. Some financial institutions may
be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over
the next week. As a result, conversion may finally come at 0.69. These "losses"
must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business
overseas.A third unique problem is trade barriers. For one reason or
another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their
borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For example, the
United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only
after government permission has been obtained. Most trade barriers, however, are
designed to restrict imports. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas
and tariffs.
