Henry Ford， the famous U．S． inventor and car manufacturer， once said， " The business of America is business． " By this he meant that the U．S． way of life is based on the values of the business world．Few would argue with Ford's statement． A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business． For example， nearly every newspaper has a business section， in which the deals and projects， finances and management， stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily． In addition， business news can appear in every other section． Most national news has an important financial aspect to it． Welfare， foreign aid， the federal budget， and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business． Moreover， business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places． The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as " the entertainment industry " or " show business． " The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U．S． life． One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job． Jobs are produced in abundance because the U．S． economic system is driven by competition． People believe that this system crates more wealth， more jobs， and a materially better way of life． The negative side of Henry Ford's statement， however， can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business． And the term big business-referring to the biggest companies， is seen in opposition to labor． Throughout U．S． history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages， better working conditions， and the fight to form unions． Today， many of the old labor disputes are over， but there is still some employee anxiety． Downsizing-the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high-creates feelings of insecurity for many．（1）The United States is a typical country ____ ．A． which encourages free trade at home and abroadB． where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC． where all businesses are managed scientificallyD． which normally works according to the federal budget（2）The influence of business in the U．S． is evidenced by the fact that ____ ．A． most newspapers are run by big businessesB． even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC． Americans of all professions know how to do businessD． even arts and entertainment are regarded as business（3）According to the passage， immigrants choose to settle in the U．S．， dreaming that ____ ．A． they can start profitable businesses thereB． they can be more competitive in businessC． they will make a fortune overnight thereD． they will find better chances of employment（4）Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because ____ ．A． working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB． there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC． there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and laborD． public services are not run by the federal government（5）A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result in ____ ．A． reduction in the number of employeesB． improvement of working conditionsC． fewer disputes between labor and managementD． a rise in workers' wages

Americans experience more food recalls (召回) today than they did five years ago, especially when it comes to meat and poultry (家禽). Meat and poultry recalls increased by two-thirds from 2013 to 2018, while food recalls overall went up 10%, according to the report recently published by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group.Meanwhile, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates (估计) 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from food-borne disease each year in the U.S. "We are looking for the farm-to-fork preventative solutions," said Adam Garber, the research group's consumer watchdog. "By doing that, we can protect people's health."Over the five-year period, poultry posted the most recalls (168), followed by beef (137) and pork (128). The report shows the most serious meat recalls are on the rise. Among meat and poultry, the number of Class I recalls has increased by 83%, nearly doubling. Class I, the most serious of the recalls, is issued when there is a reasonable probability that the food will cause health problems or death.53. When would Class I recalls be issued?A.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
Most children with healthy appetites are ready to eat almost anything that is offered them and a child rarely dislikes food (51) it is badly cooked.

If the father says he hates fat meat or the mother refuses vegetables in the child’s hearing he is (54) to copy this procedure. Take it (55) granted that he likes everything and he probably will. Nothing healthful should be omitted from the meal because of a (56) dislike. At meal times it is a good idea to give a child a small portion and let him (57) back for a second helping rather than give him as much as he is likely to eat all at once. Do not talk too much to the child (58) meal times, but let him get on with his food, and do not allow him to leave the table immediately after a meal or he will soon learn to swallow his food (59) he can hurry back to his toys. Under (60) circumstances must a child be coaxed or forced to eat.55（）。A. withB. asC. overD. for
