Cities Guide—Shanghai
Business hours
Business hours in Shanghai are very much those you would find in the West. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5/6 p.m.(some close for an hour at lunchtime). Some offices also maintain limited Saturday hours. Banks follow similar hours.
Department stores typically open every day, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Chinese restaurants tend to open and close early(11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m.), and international restaurants stay open latch Note that dinner in China is usually eaten early, from 5:30 p.m.
Eating and drinking
Most business entertaining is done over lunch, though a high-profile business deal may be celebrated by a large evening meal in a private room of a restaurant. Unless specifically invited, spouses typically stay at home. The Western custom of after-work drinks is rare, though there is a growing trend for business colleagues to meet for coffee.
Try to master chopsticks before you arrive in Shanghai. Chinese food is eaten informally, with everyone serving them selves from several main dishes on a central turntable.
In all but the swankiest(漂亮，时髦的) restaurants, messiness is perfectly acceptable. People will happily slurp their soup, toss chicken bones around their plates and spill soy sauce everywhere.
Frequent toasts are not unusual. Mao Tai, a fiery 60-70 proof liquor distilled from sorghum, is what you'll typically drink. If you can't keep up, join in the toast with beer or else a soft drink.
Drinking a lot(and even drunkenness) may earn you respect or trust, since many Chinese believe that alcohol causes harriers to come down and true intentions to be revealed.
You may be invited to eat at someone's home. Always bring a gift(fruit or flowers), and remember to take your shoes off at the threshold.
Getting around
Public transport
If you plan to be in Shanghai for more than a few days, buy a Shanghai Public Transport Card(jiao tong ka), available in any metro station for 30 yuan(refundable when you return it at any metro station). Once you have one, you can put funds on it to use for taxis, the metro, light rail buses and the passenger ferry across the river.
Buses
Buses are crowded, smelly, hard to understand if you don't read Chinese characters, but extraordinarily cheap. Most inner-city buses charge 1-2 yuan, no matter how far you're traveling within the city. Tickets on long-distance buses range between 1-6 yuan.
Taxis
Taxis in Shanghai axe good value. You will pay 10 yuan for the first two kin, and then 2 yuan per km. The city has about 50,000 taxis. The only time you'll have trouble finding one is when it's raining. Most taxi drivers do not speak English, so have someone jot down your destination in Chinese characters and take a business card from your hotel with you so that you can find your way back.
Tipping is not customary. Try to avoid hailing a cab at 9:30 a.m. or 4:30 p.m., when drivers swap shifts.
Metro
Shanghai's metro is swift and cheap(2 -6 yuan), but has only three main lines. The government has plans for eight more by 2010; Until then, you could end having to walk some distance. The metro is a good way to cross the river during rush hour, when traffic clogs the bridges and the tunnel.
When traveling you can just swipe your public transport card over the card-recognition keypads. Otherwise, you will need to tell the assistant at one of the ticketing counters what price zone you are traveling in and he or she will give you a one-trip ticket.
Communications
Telephone codes
Country code: 86
Area code: (0)21

Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi，you hear the voice of a well known singer，sports reporter，or Broadway actress giving instructions. That't fight. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message：“Cats have nine lives，but you have only one，so fasten your seat belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don't forget to collect all your belongings. ”(People often leave hats，umbrellas，and bags in taxis. )
There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York，and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident，people who don't wear seat belts hit the partition，the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year，about 11,000 people are injured in this way.
Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy，”says Amir，a 45-year-old cabdriver. “But if I don't play the messages，I get fined $100. ”A lot of passengers complain. too. “It's too much noise，”says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the message，but he said he can't. ”
Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says，“People like to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often. ”And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time. taxi drivers are in a bad mood，”says Melanie Benton，who visits New York often on business. “It's nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab. ”
The sentence“Cats have nine lives，but you have only one”implies that______.
A．human beings have only one life
B．cats live longer than human beings
C．cats will have new lives after they die
D．human beings should value their lives

听力原文： I travel quite a lot in Beijing. I think the underground railway is marvelous. I nearly always travel by tube because it is fast and cheap. But I also like to travel by bike, particularly for short journeys. Beijing's public transport is quite efficient. You can go almost wherever you like by public transport. Buses usually run at very short intervals. But they are rather crowded and slow, particularly in the rush hour. The roads get very congested and there are traffic jams at busy crossroads. When you are in a hurry, the best way to travel in Beijing is by tube. Taxis get held up in traffic jams and besides, the fares are quite high.
In China today the most common way of traveling is still by rail, although traveling by car or coach is getting more and more popular. We have almost all the provinces and big cities connected by the railways. There are over 53,000 kilometers of track in China. Rail transport provides a very important service to the public, to industry and commerce. Rail fares are usually lower than airfares. They are almost the same as coach fares, but traveling by train is more comfortable than traveling by car or coach.

A．How to improve transportation.
B．The best transportation facilities.
C．A comparison between railway and airplane.
D．Transportation in China.
