In some ways， the United States has made some progress． Fires no longer destroy 18，000 buildings as they did in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871， or kill half a town of 2，400 people， as they did the same night in Peshtigo， Wisconsin． Other than the Beverly Hill Supper Club fire in Kentucky in 1977， it has been four decades since more than 100 Americans died in a fire． But even with such successes， the United States still has one of the worst fire death rates in the world． Safety experts say the problem is neither money nor technology， but the indifference of a country that just will not take fires seriously enough． American fire departments are some of the world's fastest and best-equipped． They have to be． The United States has twice Japan's population， and 40 times as many fires． It spends far less on preventing fires than on fighting them． And American fire -safety lessons are aimed almost entirely at children， who die in large numbers in fires but who， against popular beliefs， start very few of them． Experts say the error is an opinion that fires are not really anyone's fault． That is not so in other countries， where both public education and the law treat fires as either a personal failing or a crime． Japan has many wood houses； of the 48 fires in world history that burned more than 10，000 buildings， Japan has had 27． Punishment for causing a big fire can be as severe as life imprisonment． In the United States， most education dollars are spent in elementary schools． But， the lessons are aimed at too limited a number of people； just 9 percent of all fire deaths are caused by children playing with matches． The United States continues to depend more on technology than laws or social pressure． There are smoke detectors in 85 percent of all homes． Some local building laws now require home sprinklers （喷水装置）． New heaters and irons shut themselves off if they are tipped．（1）The reason why so many Americans die in fires is that ____ ．A． they took no interest in new technologyB． they did not pay great attention to preventing firesC． they showed indifference to fighting firesD． they did not spend enough money on fire equipment（2）It can be inferred from the passage that ____ ．A． fire safety lessons should not be aimed only at American childrenB． American children have not received enough education of fire safety lessonsC． Japan is better equipped with fire equipment than the United StatesD． America's large population leads to more fires（3）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？ ____ A． There has been no great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that leads to high death rate．B． There have been several great fires in the USA in recent 40 years that lead to high death rate．C． There has been only one great fire in the USA in recent 40 years that led to high death rate．D． The fire in Kentucky in 1977 made only a few people killed．

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

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.
