第3题
Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible, so for some expressions we use t
he first letters of the words instead of saying each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.

BYOB is a short way of saying "bring your own bottle". The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social event or gathering friends. For example, I decide to have a party on a Sunday afternoon. I might write a note saying, "Please come to the party, and BYOB." The bottle each person brings is what that person wants to drink at the party.
An invitation to a special event, such as a wedding, would never say BYOB. However, an invitation to all official or very special event often has other letters at the bottom of it. The letters are RSVP. The letters represent the French expression “repondez s'il vous plait”. In English, the words mean “Respond if it pleases you”. Americans use the letters as a short-way to say please answer this invitation.
Another expression ASAP is often heard in business offices. My boss might say she wants something done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She also might tell me she wants something done by COB. That means she wants it finished by close of business, or the end of the workday.
Beginning letters often are used to represent the name of a university. A famous one is MIT. It is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA, almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes too long.
Some American businesses are better known for the beginning letters of their name than for their complete names. For example, you may not have heard of the company called International Business Machines, but you probably have heard of the company by its short name IBM. And the American Telephone and Telegraph Company is much better known as AT. ＆ T. Many American government agencies are known by the beginning letters of their name, too. For example, the FBI is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI investigates criminal activity in the United States. Then there is the IRS, the Internal Revenue Service. It is not a very popular agency. It collects Federal taxes. Here is an example you already know. Can you guess what it is？ How about VOA, the short name of the "Voice of America". (416)
What is the main subject of this article？
A．The voice of America.
B．A short way of saying.
C．Introduction of famous companies.
D．Brief introduction of VOA

听力原文： British people place considerable value on punctuality. If you agree to meet friends at three o'clock, you can bet that they'll be there just after three. Since Britons are so time conscious, the pace of life may seem very rushed. In Britain, people make great effort to arrive on time. It is often considered impolite to arrive even a few minutes late. If you are unable to keep an appointment, it is expected that you call the person you are meeting.
If you are invited to someone's house for dinner at half past seven, it is considered good manners to arrive ten to fifteen minutes "late". An invitation might state "7 : 30 to 8: 00", in which case you should arrive no later than 7: 50. However, if an invitation says "sharp", you must arrive in plenty of time.
"Drop in anytime" and "come see me soon" are idioms often used in social settings but seldom meant to be taken literally. It is wise to telephone before visiting someone at home. Although it is not necessarily expected that you give a gift to your host, it is considered polite to do so, especially if you have been invited for a meal. Flowers, chocolate, or a small gift are all appropriate. A thank-you note or telephone call after the visit is also considered polite and is an appropriate means to express your appreciation for the invitation.

A．after 8: 15.
B．no later than 7: 30.
C．no later than 7: 50.
D．at 8: 00.

Having acknowledged receipt of the interview letter，you must prepare for the interview. Fi
rms usually take a good deal of trouble over interviews，and there may be three or more people present，which can be a little frightening. Very often the personnel officer will begin by some words of welcome and an invitation to you to tell them a little about yourself. This is really inviting you to repeat the information you have already supplied on the application form，and which they have already read，but it does have some point. It will put you at your ease，because at least you know all about your own level of achievement and can speak about it confidently. It helps them assess your ability to communicate and your serf-esteem. Some people have too high an opinion of themselves，some take an unduly pessimistic view of their achievements，while others have a nicely balanced assessment of their own abilities.

In the case of a church wedding, the vicar (牧师) of each parish in which the bride and bride groom lives is normally informed about a month in advance of the ceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of either partner is ordered to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy (重婚) must have been more effective in the days when people move about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bridesmaids, who are often children, wear long dresses in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual.
The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are few guests, in the bride' s own home. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding-cake is cut (usually to the accompaniment of speeches) and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off to change into everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.
It is the bride's parents who normally have to ______.
A．make all the arrangements for the wedding
B．provide hospitality for the people attending
C．decide who shall be invited
D．pay all the expenses involved

EContacts (交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty 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 the foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example, wants of start talking business immediately. He wants quick decisions. He does not wait. The Japanese, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.
Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural difference for a Japanese to say “No” directly.
In English, it is easy to say “No” to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request with “No”, or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish (自私) and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying “No”. These enable them to avoid hurting other people’s feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.
第52题：Paragraph one tells us that ________.
[A] It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in Japan
[B] Japan is a very important country for businessmen
[C] business contacts between Japan and the West are important
[D] Japanese businessmen do business all around the world
