For most people, shopping is still a matter ofwandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that willchange. Electronic commerce is growing fast and will soon bring people morechoices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from fraudwill be harder. Many governments therefore want to extend high streetregulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to seecyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation. Consumersin rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takesresponsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety ofthe drugs, or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governmentscannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence in their countryis on the screen. Other countries have regulators, but the rules of consumerprotection differ, as does enforcement. Even where a clear right tocompensation exists, the online catalogue customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly goto New York to extract a refund for a dud purchase. Oneanswer is for governments to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules.But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty ofcountries have rules too fanciful for sober states to accept. There is,however, an alternative. Let the electronic businesses do the “regulation”themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so. Inelectronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuablecompetitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance,customers ordering medicines online may prefer to buy from the United Statesbecause they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration;or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy fromSwitzerland instead.Consumers will need to use their judgment. Butprecisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for awhile to be a lot more cautious than consumers of the normal sort---and the newtechnology will also make it easier for them to complain noisily when a companylets them down. In this way, at least, the advent of cyberspace may argue forfewer consumer protection laws, not more.1.According to the author, what will be the bestpolicy for electronic commerce? A．Self– regulation by the business. B．Strictconsumer protection laws. C．Closeinternational cooperation. D．Governmentprotection.2.In case an electronic shopper bought faultygoods from a foreign country, what could he do? A．Refuseto pay for the purchase. B．Goto the seller and ask for a refund.

A．internationalcooperation would be much more frequent B．consumerscould easily seek government protection C．agood reputation is a great advantage in competition D．itwould be easy for consumers to complain4.We can infer from the passage that inlicensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is . A．veryquick B．very cautious C．veryslow D．rather careless5.If a customer buys something that does notmeet his expectation, what is the advantage of dealing through electroniccommerce over the present normal one?

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.

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
