Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language.Over the years,people have made up new languages with this aim.At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak.The most famous one,Esperanto (世界语),was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof,a doctor in Warsaw who published a book about his new language in 1887.To encourage people to learn the language,he made it as simple as possible.Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language,but it has been suggested as an auxiliary (辅助的) language.By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers,and it was spoken in six hundred schools.Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people,and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world.Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto,including those translated from other languages.Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious’ Throughout this century English has grown more and more important it has become a second language for many millions of people.The fact that more are learning Englishshows that the use of English is still growing worldwide.No one would deny the usefulness of a world language,but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.Multiple Choice1.Over the years,people have made up new languages in the hope that＿＿＿＿.a) they will be able to use a common language one dayb) they can read more newspapers and magazinesc) they can understand each other much betterd) they will be able to speak several languages2.Zamenhof made Esperanto as simple as possible＿＿＿＿.a) because he knew it was only an auxiliary language.b) so that more,and more people would be willing to learn itc) so that everyone would speak it without any difficultyd) because he knew it.would be accepted as an.official world language.3.Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language because ＿＿＿＿.a) it is mainly a spoken languageb) it is difficult to learnc) the use of English is growing worldwided) people don’t like it very much4.Which of the following is not true of Esperanto?a) It was widely taught in schools.b) It Was spoken by many students.c) Many books have been written in Esperanto.d) It was once used as an official language.5.It is not likely that Esperanto will＿＿＿＿.a) be learned by many peopleb) play such an important role as English doesc) be used as a written languaged) remain a useful language

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
