NOK 1,670D. NOK 2,260BHere is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.In BrazilBrazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hourstheres no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.In SingaporeSingaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank. In the United Arab EmiratesIn the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.In SwitzerlandThe Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate. 24.

C A city childs summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missingnot out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “Whats in those books youre always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest.Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to remain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of mans entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between childrens and grownups books or I could find none. I had gone right from Tom Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.28.Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt _.Abitter and lonely Bspecial and differentCpleased and excited Ddisturbed and annoyed29.According to Paragraph 3, story-telling was popular among the boys basically because _.Athe story was from a childrens bookBlistening to tales in the dark was an age-old practiceCthe boys had few entertainments after darkDthe boys didnt read books by themselves30.Sometimes the writer stopped at the most exciting part of a story to _.Aplay a mean trick on the boys Bexperience more joy of achievementCadd his own imagination to the story Dhelp the boys understand the story better31.What is the message conveyed in the story?AOne can find his position in life in his own way.BFriendship is built upon respect for each other.CReading is more important than playing games.DAdult habits are developed from childhood. DBEIJING Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has helped 17,000 HIV carriers and AIDS patients in China since 2004, experts said on Wednesday. TCM performs as an effective supplement to Western therapy in terms of alleviating patients symptoms, including fever, cough, asthenia and diarrhea, thus making life easier for them, said Wang Jian, deputy director of the TCM Center for AIDS Prevention and Treatment with the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. China started to give AIDS patients free TCM therapy in a pilot project carried out among 2,300 patients in five provinces in 2004. By last October, the projects had expanded to 19 provinces. The TCM therapy is usually applied to carriers whose immune system is not too weak to receive the Western medication that is largely known as antiretroviral therapy(抗逆转录病毒疗法); or to patients who suffer side effects from the therapies. A biological indicator for this is CD4, a type of cell in the immune system. When a carriers CD4 count reaches 350 per cubic millimeter（立方毫米）or below they will need western treatment. According to our clinical research on around 8,900 patients over the past four years, their CD4 decreased by 12 per cubic millimeter each year after taking TCM therapy, while the control group that did not take any medicine lost 30 to 50 cells a year, Wang said. However, the combination of Western therapy and TCM is even better, with the patients CD4 increasing by 15 each year. Although TCM therapy cannot cure the disease completely, it can surely help the patients in some way, said Amir Housman Kashmir, a clinical PhD in Chinese Medicine from Iran, currently based in Beijing. In 2010, Kashmir met two non-Chinese AIDS patients who received TCM therapy in China. One of them used TCM therapy for six months and felt his immunity was improved. The other had caught some skin and pulmonary diseases, but later the symptoms were not so severe, Kashmir said. It was from that time that I started to believe in the effectiveness of TCM therapy in curing AIDS. As a TCM doctor, I have seen a good number of people visiting China to try TCM therapy to treat other chronic（慢性的）diseases. I have to say TCM works well in curing chronic diseases, but I believe there is still space for improvement, especially in terms of introducing the drugs working mechanism to Western doctors. According to Wang Jian, Chinese herbal medicines work differently from Western anti-HIV drugs. The Western therapies target blocking viral replication, but TCM therapy works towards increasing peoples immunity. Wang said that Chinese government has assigned 220 million yuan ($34.49 million) since 2004 for TCM therapy research, and further efforts will be made to develop better treatment based on a combination of TCM and Western Medicine. By the end of 2011, China is estimated to have 780,000 people living with HIV/AIDS, including 154,000 patients with full-blown afflictions, official statistics show. 32. According to this passage, an AIDS patient whose CD4 count decreases from 400 per cubic millimeter might get the best result by receiving _.A. the TCM therapyB. the Western therapy C. no treatment at allD. both Western and TCM therapy33. The article implies that _.A. it was in China that Kashmir had a good knowledge of the therapy for AIDSB. the western therapy has a better effect on chronic disease than TCM therapyC. the Western therapy does greater damage to immune system than TCMD. the Chinese government has made further efforts to fight against AIDS34. What is the passage mainly discussed?A. TCM is a new therapy for curing AIDS. B. TCM can help to fight AIDSC. TCM is a better cure for AIDS at present. D. AIDS is spreading in China.35. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?A. On the website of TCM center. B. In a medical magazine. C. In a newspaper. D. On TV. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Urbanization Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city.
