八、({B)}Task 2 (总题数:1,分数:5.00)Technology companies usually focus their employee benefits around making people stay in the office longer: ping-pong tables, game rooms, on-site training rooms, some even offer laundry services. We, ABC Company, don't do any of these. Instead, we focus on benefits that get people out of the office as much as possible. We designed our benefits system to reflect that. Here are some of the benefits we offer to get people away from the computer: ? Vacations: For the last three years in a row, we've worked with a professional travel agent to prepare different travel packages that employees could pick from as a holiday gift. Everything is paid for and included. Specific, pre-arranged trips—whether for a family to go to Disneyland or a couple to tour Spain—have helped make sure people actually take their vacations. ? 4-day Summer Weeks: From May through October, everyone who's been with the company for more than a year gets to work just four days in a week. This started out as "Friday's off", but roles like customer support and operations need to cover all hours. To come up with the best ideas, you need a fresh mind. These travel and time-off benefits help everyone stay sharp. (分数:5.00)(1).The usual focus of employee benefits offered by technology companies is to ______. (分数:1.00) A.keep employees to stay longer in the office √ B.encourage employees to work overtime C.help employees to participate in exercise D.ensure employees to work energetically
37 Fumes from the exhaust of an automobile areA. notorious B. anxious C. noxious D. delicious

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.
