题：

Culture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of

learned behavior patterns characteristic of the members of a given society is constantly shaped by

a

set

of

dynamic

variables:

language,

religion,

values

and

attitudes,

manners

and

customs,

aesthetics, technology, education, and social institutions. To cope with this system, an international

manager

needs

both

factual

and

interpretive

knowledge

of

culture.

To

some

extent,

the

factual

knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.

The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact

that

one

cannot

learn

culture

—

one

has

to

live

it.

Two

schools

of

thought

exist

in

the

business

world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around,

following

the

model

of

Pepsi

and

McDonald’s.

In

some

cases,

globalization

is

a

fact

of

life;

however, cultural differences are still far from converging.

The

other

school

proposes

that

companies

must

tailor

business

approaches

to

individual

cultures.

Setting

up

policies

and

procedures

in

each

country

has

been

compared

to

an

organ

transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance or rejection. The major challenge to the

international

manager

is

to

make

sure

that

rejection

is

not

a

result

of

cultural

myopia

or

even

blindness.

Fortune

examined

the

international

performance

of

a

dozen

large

companies

that

earn

20

percent or more of their revenue overseas. The internationally successful companies all share an

important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations

carefully

by

following

the

most

basic

business

principles.

These

principles

are

to

know

your

adversary, know your audience, and know your customer.

ing to the passage, which of the following is true?

[A]All international managers can learn culture.

[B]Business diversity is not necessary.

[C]Views differ on how to treat culture in business world.

[D]Most people do not know foreign culture well.

ing to the author, the model of Pepsi .

[A]is in line with the theories that the business is business the world around

[C]shows the reverse of globalization

[D]has converged cultural differences

two schools of thought .

[A]both propose that companies should tailor business approaches to individual cultures

[B]both advocate that different policies be set up in different countries

[C]admit the existence of cultural diversity in business world

[D]both A and B

article is supposed to be most useful for those .

[A]who are interested in researching the topic of cultural diversity

[B]who have connections to more than one type of culture

[C]who want to travel abroad

[D]who want to run business on International Scale

题：

Most

shoplifters

(

商店扒手

)agree

that

the

January

sales

offer

wonderful

opportunities

for

the

hard- working

thief.

With

the

shops

so

crowded

and

the

staff

so

busy,

it

does

not

require

any

extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed. It is known,

in the business, as

But the hoisting game is not what it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters

today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls

that hang from the

ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.

As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to

attend a showing of their performance in court.

Selfridges

was

the

first

big

London

store

to

install

closed-circuit

videotape

equipment

to

watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court case for shoplifting using a

evidence

a

videotape

clearly

showing

a

couple

stealing

dresses.

It

was

an

important

test

case

which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.

When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed

that

their

only

function

was

to

frighten

shoplifters.

Their

somewhat

ridiculous

appearances,

the

curious holes and red lights going on and off, certainly make the theory believable.

It did not take long, however, for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable respect. Soon

after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in

the control room watching a woman secretly putting bottles of perfume into her bag.

she

turned

to

go,

Chadwick

recalled,

suddenly

looked

up

at

the

'sputnik'

and

stopped.

She

could

not

possibly

have

seen

that

the

camera

was

trained

on

her

because

it

is

completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.

back. When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and

hurried out of the store.
