america and australia, for example, are mobile and very open. people here change jobs and move houses quite often. as a result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. so its normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.on the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. a malaysian or mexican business person, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. but when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.to americans both europeans and asians seem cool and formal at first. on the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, its no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you dont want to answer.cross-cultural differences arent just a problem for travelers, but also for the flights that carry them. all flights want to provide the best service, but ideas about good service are different from place to place. this can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.some societies have universalist cultures. these societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. particularist societies, on the other hand, also have rules, but they are less important than the societys unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. so the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.this difference can cause problems. a traveler from a particularist society, india, is checking in for a flight in germany, a country which has a universalist culture. the indian traveler has too much luggage, but he explains that he has been away from home for a long time and the suitcases are full of presents for his family. he expects that the check- in official will understand his problem and will change the rules for him. the check- in official explains that if he was allowed to have too much luggage, it wouldnt be fair to the other passengers. but the traveler thinks this is unfair, because the other passengers dont have his problem.51. often moving from one place to another makes people like americans and australians_.a. like traveling betterb. easy to communicate withc. difficult to make real friendsd. have a long-term relationship with their neighbors52. people like malaysians prefer to associate with those_.a. who will tell them everything of their ownb. who want to do business with themc. they know quite welld. who are good at talking53. a person from a less mobile society will feel it _ when a stranger keeps talking to him or her, and asking him or her questions.a. boring b. friendlyc. normald. rough54. which of the following is true about “particularist societies”?a. there is no rule for people to obey.b. people obey the societys rules completely.c. no one obeys the societys rules though they have.d. the societys rules can be changed with different persons or situations.bpeople who are taking aspirin regularly to thin their blood and are about to undergo coronary artery bypass surgery (冠状动脉旁路搭桥术) are usually to stop the aspirin a week before the operation but they could be better off if they keep taking it.taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting (移植) is performed seems to speed lung function recovery afterwards, without increasing the risk of bleeding significantly, according to a report from israel.release of a substance called thromboxane (血栓素) is associated with lung injury after heart bypass grafting, dr rabin gerrah at assuta medical center in tel aviv and his colleagues explained in the medical journal chest. aspirin is believed to inhibit release of thromboxane, so gerrahs group theorized that the administration of aspirin until the day of the surgery could improve outcomes.they therefore followed 14 patients who took 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgery and 18 who stopped taking aspirin at least 7 days before the surgery.those who continued with their aspirin had significantly lower thromboxane in fluid around the heart, better oxygen levels in their blood and spent less time on a ventilator(呼吸器) than the group who discontinued taking aspirin.on the other hand, the need for blood transfusions was no different between the groups, indicating that bleeding complications were no worse with aspirin.the researchers had excluded patients who had suffered a heart attack and those with heart failure because patients like these have a higher level of thrombaxane. “they will probably benefit even more than its inhibition.”based on their findings, gerrahs team recommends that aspirin therapy(治疗) not be discontinued before coronary artery bypass surgery.55. from the passage we know that_.a. doctors usually get people who will have coronary artery bypass surgery to stop taking aspirin 7 days before the operationb. aspirin is believed to increase release of thromboxancec. taking aspirin up to the day coronary artery bypass grafting is performed seems to slow lung function recovery afterwardsd. patients suffering a heart attack have a lower level of thromboxane56. the purpose of the passage is to introduce to us that _.a. aspirin can make for release of thromboxaneb. aspirin is useful for patients suffering a heart attackc. different ways turn out to be the same resultd. aspirin may improve recovery after heart bypass57. according to dr rabin gerrah, patients who will have heart bypass surgery should _.a. stop taking aspirin before the surgeryb. take aspirin as much as they like until the day of the surgeryc. be allowed to take 100 milligrams of aspirin daily until the day of the surgeryd. take aspirin after the heart bypass operation58. what does the underlined word “inhibit” in paragraph 3 mean?a. to become larger or better than normalb. to make something happen more slowly than normalc. to cause to be nervous or embarrassedd. to improve something in poor conditioncin western countries people have been using the installment（分期付款）plan since the first half of the twentieth century. today, a large number of families in great britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. in the usa, the figure is much higher than in great britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.the price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. there is a charge for interest. the buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment when the goods are delivered to him. he then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. the legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. it can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. it increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. there is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. this may result in a great increase in unemployment. if the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. if great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. if businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression. this is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.59. which of the following is not true about the installment plan?a. a lot of british families use the installment plan.b. more than 10 percent american families buy things on installments.c. americans depend more on installment than british people do.d. americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.60. goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because .a. the buyer has to pay extra money as interestb. the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyc. the buyer has to pay a down paymentd. the service offered by installment plan charges extra money61. what will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?a. he might lose his job. b. he will stop owning the item he has bought.c. he will have to sell what he has bought.d. he will go into debt.62. the advantage of installment buying might include all the following except that .a. purchasing power is strengthenedb. employment might be increasedc. people develop a good habit of saving moneyd. young couples are able to furnish their homesdfor most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. soon, that will change. electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. there will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. but politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. but governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in tokyo, say, can hardly go to new york to get a refund for a clothes purchase.one answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each others rules. but that requires years of work and volumes of
