But some people will probably be puzzled when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian, he often shakes his head. They might think that the Indian does not like what he said, but on the contrary he is expressing agreement. The Indians have a habit of shaking their heads slightly when they talk to somebody. It doesnt mean “No”, but “Yes”. If a person doesnt know this, it might cause misunderstanding. At one time a foreigner in Indian told his driver who was an Indian to take him to his office. The driver shook his head. The foreigner repeated his request and the driver shook his head again. At last, the foreigner shouted angrily, “Drive me to my office at once!” The driver said in a low voice, “Yes, sir,” smiling and shaking his head again at the same time.21Generally speaking, nodding the head means _, and shaking the head means _.

To be honest, I cant imagine we will do without him when hes gone.Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bills leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this companys most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.29The speech was made _.A. at a welcome meetingB. at the opening of a new school termC. when somebody was leavingD. when they had a new manager30 How long did Masters worked there?A.37 years B. less than 5 yearsC. about six years D. since he began to work31When Bill started to work in Houston area, he had _to help him.A. many people B. nobodyC. about 37 people D. very few people32Bill increased the companys sale _.A. by 37 per cent every monthB. to the second largest in the areaC. to be the fifth largest in the areaD. five times as much as beforeDAli is from a Middle Eastern country. He now stays in the USA. He smokes a lot of cigarettes (香烟) every day. He has smoked for nine years. Ali says, “ I tried to quit (放弃) smoking in my hometown, but it was impossible. My brothers smoke. All my friends smoke. At parties and at meetings, almost all the men smoke. Here in the United States, not as many people smoke. It will be easier to change my habit here.”Many smokers are like Ali: they want to stop smoking. The smokers know that smoking is bad for their health. They know it can cause cancer and heart disease. But it is difficult for them to give up smoking because cigarettes have a drug in them. The drug is nicotine (尼古丁). People who smoke a lot need nicotine.When a person first begins to smoke, he usually feels terrible. The nicotine makes him sick. In a few days, the smokers body is used to the nicotine, and he feels fine. Later, the smoker needs nicotine to keep feeling fine. Without nicotine, he feels bad.It is very hard to quit smoking, and many people who quit will soon smoke again. At a party or at work they will decide to smoke “just one” cigarette. Then they will smoke another cigarette, and another. Soon they become smokers again. Maybe there is only one easy way to quit smoking: never start.33Many smokers want to stop smoking because they _.A. want to go to partiesB. cant smoke at workC. know that smoking is bad for their health.D. need nicotine and drugs34For some people，it is difficult to give up smoking becauseA. cigarettes have a nicotine (尼古丁)in themB. they dont want to give up.C.
