阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longerinterested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling orconsidered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, very differentideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over generallanguage development and writing ability. The problem is how to encourage achild to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding himback with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal(焦点的) point of his teacher's interest, clearly abright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend towrite only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurouslanguage. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries andpay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece ofwriting about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are fartoo many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认)” It may have been a sharpcriticism of the pupil's technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sadreflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which containedsome beautiful expressions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher was notwrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered onthe child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentationwould have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.36. Teachers differ in their opinions about ____. A. the difficulties in teaching spelling B. the role of spelling in generallanguage developmentC. the complexities of the basic writingskills D. the necessity of teaching spelling 37. The expression "play safe" in para2 probably means"____". A. to writecarefully B.to do as teachers say C. to use dictionariesfrequently D. to avoid using words one isnot sure of 38.

You speak, write a letter, and make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod (点头) and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive message from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books and magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others.

A busy schedule coupled with lack of time does not always make it possible to continue your education along with your job and family responsibilities. However, distance learning has made it possible to work and pursue your academic interests at the same time. There are a few important things to consider when choosing a distance learning college. Accreditation (认证) should be the leading standard. Degrees from colleges without any official accreditation are not recognized by employers and will only mean a waste of money and time. Also make sure that the college does not have any fake accreditation. The services offered by the distance learning institutes should also be considered, including placement services. The credentials (文凭) of the distance learning program and its past record will help you in choosing an institute. Colleges offer various types of distance learning degrees. There are both short-term courses that may last only a few weeks and long-term graduate and postgraduate courses that require 2 to 3 years of study. Distance learning MBA is one of the most sought-after degree by management executives. Distance learning programs are run both by traditional colleges and schools along with their normal courses and also by independent institutes specializing in distance learning facilities. It is best to choose a program run by the traditional colleges, as these are given the same recognition as to their normal courses. It is also important that you personally visit the institute and interact with the staff to gain detailed information on their teaching methods and principles, the type of study material provided and personal guidance, if any, provided by the distance learning college. To make your distance learning program a success, it is important that you interact with other students who have enrolled in the program. Interaction will help in deciding how to make your method of study efficient. Try to have a weekend session with other students from your area or region. Furthermore, regular communications with the training staff will also help clear any questions that you may have.1.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.
