Burberry's recent advertising campaign which aims to connect with Chinese consumers on an emotional level has caused unexpectedly bad results， with industry specialists now warningWestern brands to learn more local knowledge to avoid cultural insensitivity． There was a blitz of criticism on Chinese social media over Burberry's "modern" Chinese Lunar New Year ad campaign． The campaign to celebrate family traditions and togetherness during the festival was unveiled on Jan 3， starring Chinese actresses and Burberry brand ambassadors Zhao Wei and Zhou Dongyu． Probably， Burberry was trying to combine the cool and detached look of a luxury brand and the idea of a family get-together． But the lead photograph featuring eight unsmiling models from four generations， appeared to lack the traditional Chinese New Year festive mood． Many netizens considered it as an indirect act of insulting China． just like what D&G had done． D&G published a post on Weibo last November which prompted a huge outcry on Chinese social media due to controversy over what many view as a racist ad campaign． "I think Western brands are aware they need to connect with Chinese culture， but lack the in-depth knowledge to do so， "said Felicia Schwartz， founder of London-based consultancy China Insight． "Being culturally relevant is about keeping one's finger on the consumer's pulse and understanding-both-traditions and 'deep culture as well as how values and society are evolving in real time， "she explained． Experts point out that a practical approach is of great importance and consumer insight should be given more weight in a global age． Nevertheless， as Oscar Wilde once said "There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about， and that is not being talked about"， some critics argue that no matter what， the campaign has provoked such a wide variety of discussion that it has become an advertising success． Schwartz disagrees with that notion． "China is not just an ultra-competitive environment for foreign brands， but Chinese brands are coming up as well she said． "in such an environment brands should attach more importance to a real understanding of the market． "She added that countless examples show that it is the global brands which made efforts to modestly localize that performed best in the Chinese context．（1）What can we know about Burberrys advertising campaign？ ____ A． The advertising campaign was a total failure．B． Burberry put more emphasis on its cool look．C． Chinese considered the campaign disrespectful．D． It was shown to the public only in Spring Festival．（2）In order to win Chinese market， foreign brands should ____ ．A． invest more money in advertising campaignB． give rise to a highly heated discussion onlineC． make continuous efforts to localize moderatelyD． invite more celebrities to promote the products（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 mean？ ____ A． The access to Chinese market is what Western brands desire．B． Western brands should understand what local consumers need．C． Western brands have no way to truly understand Chinese culture．D． The age of globalization brings a hard time to average consumer．（4）What would be the best title for the passage？ ____ A． Burberry' s Campaign StrategyB． Globalization VS． LocalizationC． Respecting Culture Helps to WinD． Chinese Themes？ The Latest Trendy style

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.
