听力原文:Major cultural differences in selling techniques include the relationship between

听力原文: Major cultural differences in selling techniques include the relationship between the salesman and the customer. As an expert advises his colleagues, "In many foreign countries, personal relationships are more important than company regulations and products. Developing relationships takes time, but it is decisive to the selling process."

International trade fairs have become extremely important places for conducting business, yet very few domestic sales organizations understand how to take advantage of the opportunities that these shows present. Unlike U.S. trade shows, at which there is an open display of one's goods and services and a lot of looking but not buying, a European trade show is relatively closed and only open to those who are there to conduct business.

In some societies, the first thing people care about is quality; in other societies, the first thing on a customer's mind is the cost; and in other countries, the concern is style. The color, size, and quantity of items need to be considered in packaging any product. The color blue is for funerals in some countries, smaller items are preferred over large items, and the number of items in a package can be critical. For example, a golf ball company packaged their golf balls in groups of four and then sent 50,000 units to their Asian distributor who promptly sent them all back, advising the company to package the golf balls again in packages of three. In many of the countries where the golf balls were to be sent, the number four was considered as being equal to death whereas the number three is the symbol of long life.

(30)

A.Get down to business first.

B.Develop relationships.

C.Call each potential customer.

D.Hold trade fairs.

o pull together in the coming months, if the ambitious economic blueprint known as the Doha Development Agenda is to succeed. Supachai Panitchpakdi says most WTO nations have indicated that they want to complete the so-called Doha round of trade talks by 2006. But the director general of the World Trade Organization says finalizing the negotiations requires a consensus of the 148 member nations.

"This means there will be no deal Until there is agreement on the whole negotiating package, because there are linkages between different subject areas," he said. "The 2006 deadline is feasible, I am confident, is still feasible. But it will require major advances in technical discussions and strong political determination." Mr. Supachai spoke at the Pacific Basin Economic Council in Hong Kong on Monday.

听力原文:The European Union has drafted a list of US products to be hit with import taxes

听力原文: The European Union has drafted a list of US products to be hit with import taxes in retaliation for tariffs the US has imposed on European steel. EU member governments will review the list before the EU submits it to the World Trade Organization which arbitrates international trade disputes. EU officials will not say which American products will be hit by the EU sanctions. But diplomats monitoring the most recent trans Atlantic trade dispute say they include textiles and steel products. Earlier this month, the Bush administration imposed tariffs of about 30% on some steel imports including European products. The EU has appealed to the WTO to get those duties verturned. But the WTO decision on the matter will take up to a year or more. EU officials say that under WTO rules, the EU has the right to impose retaliatory measures in June, but they say the US can avoid the EU's possible counter-measures if it pays more than 2 billion dollars in compensation to the EU for imposing the steel tariffs in the first place. The officials say Washington could also escape retaliation by lowering US import duties on other EU products. The Bush administration says it will not pay compensation.

The trade dispute between the European Union and the US was caused by ______.

A.US refusal to accept arbitration by WTO.

B.US imposing tariffs on European steel.

C.US refusal to pay compensation to EU.

D.US refusal to lower import duties on EU products.

听力原文:Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries.

听力原文: Strikes are very common in Britain. They are extremely harmful to its industries. In fact there are other countries in Western Europe that lose more working days through strikes every year than Britain. The trouble with the strikes in Britain is that they occur in essential industries. There are over four hundred and ninetyfive unions in Britain. Some unions are very small. Over twenty have more than one hundred thousand members. Unions do not exist only to demand high wages. They also educate their members. They provide benefits for the sick and try to improve working conditions. Trade unionists say that we must thank the unions for the great improvement in working conditions in the last hundred years. It is now against the law fur union members to go on strike without the support of their union. This kind of strike la called the unofficial strike and was common until recently. Employers felt that unofficial strikes were most harmful because they could not be predicted. However, these unofficial strikes still occur from time to time and some unions have also refused to cooperate with the law. As a result, the general picture of the relations between workers and employers in Britain has gone from bad to worse.

(23)

A.They often take place in the major industries.

B.British trade unions are more powerful.

C.There are more trade union members in Britain.

D.Britain loses more working days through strikes every year.

听力原文: The United States operates under a federal system of government. Under the federal system,power is divided between the central government and the states.

The central government can pass laws that affect trade between states. The central government can also make treaties with foreign countries. It has the power to print money. The Constitution gives the central government these powers. These powers belong to the central government only. However,the states have many powers that the central government cannot control. For example,a state is allowed to tax people who live and work in the state. The central government cannot put a limit on the amount of money that a state taxes its people.

Another good point is that the central government makes sure that the bigger states don't become too powerful. Under the Constitution,all states are treated equally.
