During a negotiation between the Chinese group and the U.S. group, one of the Chinese negotiators insisted that the American project in Thailand had some problems and the technology didn’t work well. The American negotiator, who was quite familiar with Chinese culture, didn’t say anything for explanation. Instead, he called the head office and asked the office in Bangkok to check there was no problem. The next day, at a private dinner meeting, the American negotiator told the Chinese manager that his statement about Thailand was not correct, but he did not mention anything related to what he had said at the previous meeting. He gave him the telephone number of the Thai counterpart and asked him to check for himself. After that, the Chinese manager became very friendly and helpful to the American company. Question: Why didn’t the American manager explain directly？
And wasn't it a great time to be a top manager, with productivity gains boosting the bottom line and igniting executive pay？ While it was going on, venture capitalist L. John Doerr called the boom the "largest single legal creation of wealth in history."
Well, yes and no. With the recession apparently over, it's now possible to make a more realistic assessment of the entire business cycle of the 1990s: The sluggish recovery that started in March, 1991, the extraordinary boom, the tech bust, and the downturn of 2001. And guess what？ A lot of things happened that defy the conventional beliefs about the decade.
Over this 10-year period, productivity rose at a 2.2% annual rate, roughly half a percentage point faster than in the 1980s—a significant gain. But the real stunner is this: The biggest winners from the faster productivity growth of the 1990s were workers, not investors. In many ways, the most tangible sign of worker gains in the 1990s was the home-buying boom. This revelation helps us understand why consumer spending stayed so strong in the recession—and why businesses may still struggle in the months ahead.
By contrast, the return on the stock market in the 1990s business cycle was actually lower than it was in the business cycle of the 1980s. Adjusted for inflation and including dividends, average annual returns on the S&P—500 index from March, 1991, to the end of 2001 were 11.1%, compared with 12.8% in the previous business cycle.
Overall, Business Week calculates that U.S. workers received 99% of the gains from faster productivity growth in the 1990s at nonfinancial corporations. Corporate profits did rise sharply, but much of that gain was fueled by lower interest rates rather than increased productivity.
Why did workers fare so well in the 1990s？ The education level of many Americans made an impressive leap in the 1990s, putting them in a better position to qualify for the sorts of jobs that the New Economy created. Low unemployment rates drove up wages. And a torrent of foreign money coming into the U.S. created new jobs and financed productivity-enhancing equipment investment.
As it turns out, the original perceptions of who benefited most from the productivity gains of the 1990s was flipped on its head. Looking ahead, the economic pie is growing bigger all the time, but it's still up for grabs who will get the largest piece in the future. And in the end, that's the real lesson of the 1990s.
According to the writer, the original notion on the productivity gains of the 1990s turns out to be
A．somewhat superficial.
B．quite trustworthy.
C．rather misleading.
D．very illuminating.
听力原文： Marines gathered Monday to remember 23 of their own who were killed in a spate of violence that accelerated calls for the Bush administration to plan U. S. troop withdrawals. Six Marines were killed Aug. 1, including five from the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, based in northern Ohio. Fourteen from the 25th Marines were killed Aug. 3 when their amphibious assault vehicle struck a roadside bomb; nine were from the Columbus-based Lima Company. Three other Marines were killed in separate incidents in the region. Reports of continuing deaths of U.S. service members have contributed to a decline in President Bush's favourable rating for handling the situation in Iraq. A USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll released last week showed the nation split on whether it was a mistake to invade. Bush, responding last week to calls from protesters to withdraw U.S. troops, said it "would be a mistake for the security of this country."
Why did marines gather on Monday？
A．To remember the death of 23 soldiers.
B．To call for the U.S. administration for compensation.
C．To call for social justice.
D．To remember the death of Iraqi civilians.
案例分析 Directions: In this section you are supposed to analyze the following cases from the perspective of intercultural communication. Then write down the answers on the Answer Sheet. In 1998, U.S. President Bill Clinton visited China. During his visit, he gave a speech to university students in Beijing. His remarks were generally well received and were followed by a lively question and answer session. After the speech, one student remarked, “During the question and answer session, I did not understand why the president pointed his finger at us to select a person. We would not use such a rude gesture.” Puzzled, the American reporter asked the student what gesture the president should have used. The student answered using a sweep of the open hand---palm upward. What can we learn from this case？ What does Clinton’s gesture mean in Chinese culture？ How about in American culture？
Why do people marry？ People divorce often, it can be 【S1】______
seen by the rising divorce rate in the U.S. and elsewhere. But they
remarry soon enough after they divorce. Now many of them
divorce at a much younger age than before. That is also found 【S2】______
that the young have a big share of divorce. But what many
sociologists find difficult to understand is because they seem to 【S3】______
be eager to rush into marriage than get out of it. 【S4】______
In the old days, there was every reason to marry young—
specially among the working class. In Chinese communities, 【S5】______
unmarried men and women seemed to be disadvantaged in many
ways. Women were in a more difficult position than men since

themselves. For men, they often led an unpleasant and uncomfortable 【S9】______
life as they did not have a wife to do the sewing, cooking,

听力原文： World oil demand is slowing down, led by weaker economic growth in the U.S. and China, the International Energy Agency said Wednesday. While the agency didn't say high oil prices are damping demand, weaker economic growth is projected in the world's leading economies, as the U.S. and China lose steam from earlier strength this year and Japan's rebound is cast in doubt as investors worry about inflationary pressures caused by the high cost of energy.
For the first time in more than half a year of constant upward revisions, the IEA, advisor to the world's biggest economies, didn't change its forecasts for how much more oil the world will need.
But it did increase its estimated overall demand by 750,000 barrels a day, reflecting changes to historical data stretching back 10 years. That left world oil demand in 2004 at 82.2 million b/d, up 2.53 million b/d on the year. Growth will moderate in 2005 to 2.2%, or 1.8 million b/d, at 84 million b/d.
A global slowdown is beginning to affect oil demand, according to IEA figures.
Government efforts to cool down China's overheating economy will cut oil demand growth more than half from 24.6% in the second quarter to 9% in the third, the IEA said. But uncertainty remains about the future in China where restrictions on trucking and economic growth could push down demand, while extra refining capacity could boost it.
Why do people doubt about the pickup of Japan's economy？
A．Low domestic demand.
B．High energy cost.
C．Deflation.
D．Weaker economic growth in the U.S. and China.
