The pictures were of people who were so thin that they looked like beings from another planet. The camera focused on one man so that he looked directly at me, sitting in my comfortable living room. All around was the sound of death.It was clear that world had not noticed this until now. You could hear the sadness in the voice of the reporter, Michael Buerk. At the end of the report he was silent. Paula started crying, then rushed upstairs to check our baby, Fifi, who was sleeping peacefully.I kept seeing the news pictures in my mind. What could I do? I was only a pop singer and by now not a very successful pop singer. All I could do was to make records which no one bought. But I would give all the profits of the next Pats (the name of the music group he was in ) record to Oxfam (an organization in Britain which helps poor people around the world) . What good would that do? It would only be a little money but it was more than I could give just from my bank account. Maybe some people would buy it because the profits were for Oxfam.

But their knowledge of history and geography was poor.Once the French ambassador in Rome was giving a ball to which many important people were invited. The Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs (外交部) came very late. A young lady, who was well acquainted with him, saw him enter the ball-room and asked why he was so late.“You see,” said the Minister, “there has been a little accident at the Kings palace.”The curious young lady asked the Minister to tell her what had happened at the Kings palace.“Oh, nothing important,” answered the Minister. “The ambassador of Brazil, who was to be presented to the King, forgot to take his credentials with him and was obliged to go back to his hotel to bring them. If he had left them in Brazil we should have had to wait at least six months for them.”“Is Brazil so far from Rome?” asked the lady, who knew very little geography.“It is in the New World,” said the Minister.“In the New World?” repeated the lady in great astonishment.“Yes, in the New World,” answered the Minister in a satisfied tone, “which was discovered by Christopher Columbus.”When the young lady heard this she rushed into the middle of the ball-room and shouted as loud as she could:“Ladies and gentleman, have you heard the latest news? A new world has just been discovered by a certain Christopher Columbus.1.

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 to 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 between Japanese and western society which makes it difficult 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 and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No”. These enable them to avoid hurting other peoples feelings. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.1.
