Passage *********

Cultural differences in business entertaining include problems such as whom one entertains and where, and how one entertains. In countries where status (地位) is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a\your- self\method of entertaining done in the home. This methoddoes not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive (负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.

As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the\you are bringing to Sin- gapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural informant before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture.

Passage *********

If you have been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with web pals (网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a peculiarly short form of English.

And you've got a sense of humor about short forms like SOHF ( = sense of humor failure) to

describe Intemet newcomers who don't understand you.

Across the globe, every night teenagers and their elders are talking online, many of them all talking at the same time.

It's fast: try talking to six people at once. It's brief: three Or four words per exchange. It takes wit, concentration, and quick fingers.

And it requires tremendous linguistic economy (语言省略). There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why con- sume precious key-strokes (键盘主敲击) telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB ( = be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (= pardon me for jumping in).

Interested in whom you are talking to? Type A/S/I., thenearly universal request to know your pal's age, sex and loca- tion. You may get 15/M/NY as a response from your pal.

If something makes you laugh, say you are OTF (=on the floor), or LOL ( = laughing out loud), or combing the two into ROTFL (= rolling on the floor laughing).

And when it is time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).

People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing emotion, as it takes, more time to hold down the \标点) is going, too. 1. Many people talk on the Intemet______.

Passage *********

Meteorite (陨石) ALH840典型例题 studied by a research team led by scientists at NASA and Stanford University.

Using high-powered microscopes and other laboratory tests, the researchers found clues that they think were left by living things.

One clue is a collection of flat, hard orange globe of carbon lining the insides of the cracks in the rock. These depos- its look like the carbon globules made by some kinds of bacteria (细菌). They might have been left by tiny life forms, or they might have been made by hot vapors

carrying carbon dioxide.

With these carbon globules is another piece of evidence, a group of chemicals called PAHS. These chemicals can be formed in space or when living things die and change into fossils (化石) So the PAHs in the meteorite might have come from ancient Martian life.

Rings of tiny crystals around the carbon globules make up the third mineral clue. These crystals are made of iron and sul- phur (硫)joined together in compounds that are like chemicals in some of Earth's bacteria. But similar crystals can also be made by chemical reactions that can happen without life forms to carry them out.

A fourth sign of life is a series of microscopic rounded shapes that look like fossils of bacteria. But to some scientists, these shapes may be too small to be the remains of living things.

The NASA team does not say these clues are proof of life on Mars. Any.of these clues might have been placed in the rock without the help of living creatures.

But they claim the idea of Martian life is the simplest way to explain them, They say it would take a lot of coincidences (巧合) to place all of these dues together in the Martian rock. These scientists have challenged others to help them search for more evidence to prove that their ideas are either right or wrong.

And research that might help answer this question is already 'under way. NASA has planned ten new missions to Mars over the next ten years and launched two of them last fall. They are called Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Pathfinder.

Several of the experiments on these spacecraft will search for clues to answer one of the greatest questions of our time. Are we alone in the universe? 1. ALH840典型例题rom______. A. Mars

B. the Milky Way

C. an unknown small planet D. the solar system

答案: A 指导：由倒数第二段\可知。 2. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Mars Pathfinder was launched in the spring of 1997.

B. The evidence inside was not destroyed after ALH840典型例题 traveled a long way.

C. The clues the scientists have found are:①smal! drops of liquid of carbon ②crystal ring

③NASA ④ fossils of bacteria.

D. Scientists wished they had asked for help to prove their ideas.

答案: B 指导：由第四段\change into fossils”可知ALH840典型例题行了很长的路后，里面的迹象不被破坏而形成了化石。

3. Put the following sentences into correct time order.

① Scientists discovered the meteorite. They named itALH840典型例题\Hills, 1984,number I\

②A small planet hit Mars, sending pieces of the outside covering into space. One of them is ALH840典型例题After wandenng for a long time, the rock rushed into the ice in the Allan Hills area of Antarctica.④In a watery environment underground, microscopic life grew deep in the cracks. These creatures died, but they left signs.

A. ②-④-①-③ B. ④-②-③-① C. ③-①-②-④ D. ①-③-④-②

答案: B 指导：由全文描述可知。
