You are a German living in Berlin. One day you' re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger comes up with a smile on his face.

(a) Run away; (b) Call the police; or (c) Listen closely for the device to say in German," Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, welches sauerkraut haufen kann?"

The four-pound, battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the Unite States in late April — at a price of (1,500 — it will be used to translate spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges(盒式存储器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. It will be sold in Europe soon after the US introduction, with cartridges that translate Italian, German, French and Spanish into English. The Voice uses a microchip(微型集成电路片) to translate languages. It is Started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language. (1). The device held by the stranger is probably a kind of _____.

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa.Just rocks and sand and baking sun.Knowing our journey was ending，Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done.He used a camera.I used words.I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth，a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in Mozambique. Southern Africa was full of stories.And visions.We were almost drunk on sensations.The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls，the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.And then the other things：dogs in the streets，whole families in Soweto living in one room，a kilometre from clean water. As we drove towards the setting sun，a quietness fell over us.The road was empty—we hadn't seen another car for hours.And as I drove，something caught my eye，something moving next to me.I glanced in the mirror of the car；I glanced sideways to the right，and that was when I saw them.Next to us，by the side of the road，thirty，forty wild horses were racing the car，a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown，muscular horses almost close enough to touch them，to smell their hot breath.I didn't know how long they had been there next to us. I shouted to Dan："Look!"，but he was in a deep sleep，his camera lying useless by his feet.They raced the car for a few seconds，then disappeared far behind us，a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened. "Wild horses？" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up？" "I tried.But they were gone after a few seconds." "Are you sure you didn't dream it？" "You were the one who was sleeping!" "Typical，" he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take." We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.（1）During their journey in Africa，the two travelers ____ .A.made friends with local plained about the poor living conditionsC.enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert mostD.recorded their experiences in different ways（2）What does the phrase "heroic forms" in Paragraph 4 refer to？ ____ A.Racing cars.B.Wild horses.C.Eye-catching locals.D.Running dogs.（3）What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened？ ____ A.He always missed out on the best thing.B.He had already taken beautiful pictures.C.A sound sleep was more important.D.The next trip would be better.（4）What is the passage mainly about？ ____ A.How to view wildlife in Africa.B.Running into wildlife in Africa.C.Tourist attractions in southern Africa.D.Possible dangers of travelling in Africa.
Companies sometimes receive hundreds of applications for a single job, and it is becoming more common for managers to conduct screening (筛选)interviews over the phone. This saves them considerable time and money―especially if a candidate lives out of town. Don’t take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do for a regular interview. The employer will normally call or e-mall you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be held over a landline phone(座机), as it is more reliable than a mobile phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby. Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your résumé in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don’t overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.An employer usually arranges the time for the interview by ______. A. paying you a personal visit firstB. calling or emailing you in advanceC. announcing the date in the newspaperD. asking you to visit the company’s website

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.

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.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
