W: Hi Leo, why do you say English would become the world language?
M: Well。 For one thing, it’s so commonly used, the only language that is used by more people is Chinese。
W: Why is English spoken by so many people?
M: It’s spoken in many countries of the world because of the British empire。 And now of course is the influence of America as well。
W: Many students find English a difficult language to learn。
M: Oh, all languages are difficult to learn。 But English does have two greatest advantages。
W: What are they?
M: Well, first of all, it has a very international vocabulary。 It has many German, Dutch, French, Spanish and Italian words in it。 So speakers of those languages will find many familiar words in English。 In fact, English has words for many other languages as well。
W: Why is that?
M: Well, partly because English speakers have travelled a lot, they bring back words with them。 So English really does have an international vocabulary。
W: And what is the other advantage of English?
M: It that English grammar is really quite easy。 For example, it doesn’t have dozens of different endings for its nouns, adjectives and verbs, not like Latin, Russian and German for example。
W: Why is that?
M: Well, it’s quite interesting actually, it’s because of the French。 When the French ruled England, French was the official language, and only the common people spoke English。 They tried to make their language as simple as possible。 So they made the grammar easier。

There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation ( 节能 ), which means using energy more efficiently ( 有效地 ). In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometer down. At six kilometers, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped (压轴 ) down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.

In American business meetings, people are expected to participate verbally (口头上), or else others may think that they are uninterested in the meeting. Active participation involves the following: 1. Starting a discussion, bringing up new ideas and topics, and making suggestions. 2. Asking people for opinions, information, and explanations. 3. Repeating ideas and explanations for those who can’t understand you. 4. Encouraging people to speak by accepting different points of view. If an employee appears to be passive at a meeting, Americans may feel that the person is not contributing to the meeting. "Brainstorming" is a common practice at American meetings. The purpose of brainstorming is to express as many ideas as possible on a given question or problem. This technique is used to collect all the ideas of the group, without stopping to discuss or evaluate the value of each suggestion. First people brainstorm freely; then they narrow down and eliminate ideas or suggestions that are not workable. Brainstonning is a creative process that demands full verbal participation. This method of creating, exploring, and solving problems is foreign to many people who are not culturally comfortable with "blurting out" (不假思索的说) ideas.
36.If you are attending business meeting in America, you'd better ______.
A. speak out your own ideas actively
B. keep silent and listen to the others carefully
C. appear uninterested in the meetings

A. bring up your new ideas and topics
B. give him your explanations
C. encourage him to give his own ideas

The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.
By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men‘s fingers are not alike clean.” English travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.
Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600‘s did using a fork become a common custom.

2 In Mexico, the meaning and organization of domestic space is strikingly different. Houses are organized around a patio, or courtyard. Rooms open onto the patio, where all kinds of domestic activities take place. Individuals do not have separate bedrooms. Children often sleep with parents, and brothers or sisters share a bed, emphasizing familial interdependence. Rooms in Mexican houses are locations for multiple activities that, in contrast, are rigidly separated in the United States.

A.rising living standards.
B.new concepts.
C.new customs.
D.new designs of houses.
