Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社會), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In the USA, it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(請求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
【小題1】What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

A.Their different ways of doing business.
B.Their different lifestyles.
C.The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.
D.The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.
【小題2】Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?
A.cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.
B.give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.
C.a(chǎn)ttract foreign businessmen’s attention.
D.make foreign businessmen think wrongly.
【小題3】What fact does the passage lead you to believe?
A.American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.
B.American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.
C.Americans usually say what they are thinking.
D.Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.
【小題4】From the passage we can infer(推斷) that __________.
A.Japanese businessmen are good at business
B.foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business
C.foreign businessmen must be more polite
D.you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed

According to a new survey, student safety has become a big problem. Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery(搶劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection(自我保護). Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens.
Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No.25 Middle School and a self-protection expert(專家), gives young students advice on how to deal with danger.
If you are robbed
Keep calm. If you can not cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to 
remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later.
If you are in a traffic accident   
If a car hurts you, you should remember the car number; if it is a bicycle, try to call your
parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how badly you are hurt.
If it is raining hard and there is lightning(閃電)
Don’t stay in high places and keep away from trees.
When there is a fire
Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit (出口).
Do not take the lift!    
If someone is drowning (溺水)
If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help. Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times!
【小題1】Why do students like the self-protection lesson?
①Because there are no tests.
②Because the lesson is boring.
③Because they can learn how to save lives.
④Because they know how to stop danger before it happens.

A.①②B.②③C.①②④D.①③④
【小題2】If your house is on fire, you must _______.
