21、Here is some mustknow information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe，be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social，preferring facetoface communication over emails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fastpaced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines how people interact in meetings. For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.
In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE，status is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So do not pull away from the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes，but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are onetoone，if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse. It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality(守时) is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higherups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree. Neat，clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

23、 Koko the gorilla knew over 1,000 signs based on American Sign Language, and used them to do everything from asking for food to joking around. Her trainer, Penny Patterson, thought Koko went further still, signing in novel ways and showing complex emotions. According to Ms. Patterson, when a cat that Koko loved was killed in an accident, Koko signed: “Cat, cry, have-sorry, Koko-love.” When Koko died last month, some of her obituaries (讣告) mourned the gorilla who had “mastered American sign language”.
Then came the critics, from linguists and experts in sign languages. There is no doubt that animals communicate. Bees can demonstrate the direction and distance of a source of food. Dolphins make noises that function like names. Yet there is an important distinction between communication and language.
Take the misleading term “body language”. It is sometimes claimed that words convey just 7% of meaning, and that body language and tone of voice do the rest. But try conveying a fact like “It will rain on Tuesday” with your eyebrows, and the difference becomes clear. Language allows for clear statements, questions and commands.
Noam Chomsky has argued that people have a kind of “universal grammar”, and that all humankind’s languages are mere variations (变奏曲) on a theme. He has changed his mind repeatedly on what makes up the essential of human language, but one obvious candidate is syntax—rules, not just words, which allow the construction of huge variety of meaningful expressions. No language in the world merely uses relevant signs together like communications at the tourist-abroad level of pointing and making exaggerated facial expressions.
That gorillas lack syntax should not blind humans to their magnificence. But the fact that Koko could communicate should not mislead observers into thinking she possessed language.
【1】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1?
A.Describe an amazing animal. B.Inform people of Koko’s death.
C.Introduce the topic of the text. D.Show Ms Patterson’s technique.
【2】What can we infer about language according to the text?
A.It consists of words and body language and syntax.
B.Body language actually can’t be taken as language.
C.It’s power that both humans and animals possess.
D.Facial expressions allow for clear statements and commands.
【3】Which of the following can best convey “It will rain on Tuesday”?
A.Facial expressions. B.Eyebrow movements.
C.Pointing. D.Dialect.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A.Human language is different from mere communication.
B.Rules play an essential part in human communication.
C.Noam Chomsky is a brilliant master of human language.
D.Koko’s extraordinary skills deserve people’s recognition.
24、Today's children are the "result" of the modern society. Our parents have jobs that keep them busy almost all day long. They only have a free day in a week. This doesn't allow them to keep an eye on their children.
On the other hand, the modern society gives more freedom to the children than they could "handle". As a child, you don't know how to grow up by yourself until you reach a certain age. That is why you need school and parents to be by your side all the time. If you don't have either of them you may make a lot of mistakes. The social system of the modem society is very lenient especially with the children.
Most of the children today are rebels(叛逆者). They are rude. They are given too much freedom by their families. This is their parents' mistake. They ought to know that the freedom they give to their children is misunderstood.
For example it is a bad thing for a 17-year-old child to go out in the evening on weekends. Parents are also guilty of the way their children show up in the street or at school. The same guilt belongs to the teaching system as well. Pupils shouldn't be allowed to dress like they were on a fashion presentation at school.
Another important fact we can think of regarding the freedom of children is their free will of spending money. Parents shouldn't allow their children to spend money on whatever they want.
I think children are given too much freedom not only by their parents, but also by the society. The latter is more to be blamed！
【1】The writer implies that parents' busy lifestyle .
A. makes their children become independent
B. may lead to a tense parent-child relationship
C. is harmful to their children's health
D. is likely to create a troubled generation
【2】What does the underlined word "lenient" ( in Paragraph 2 ) mean ?
A. Not responsible. B. Not strict.
C. Unkind. D. Unfair.
【3】 It seems that the writer agrees that students .
A. should stay at home on weekends
B. can wear trendy clothes at school
C. had better wear school uniform at school
D. can be allowed to go out in the evenings
【4】According to the writer, which of the following takes the primary responsibility for children's problems?
A. The social environment. B. The educational system.
C. Each family. D. The school.
