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.

A．Get down to business first.
B．Develop relationships.
C．Call each potential customer.
D．Hold trade fairs.
听力原文： Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.
Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
29. Which is the speaker most probably in favor of？
30. What do we know about golf from the passage？
31. Why does the speaker use power walking as an example？
32. What is the speaker's main purpose of giving this speech？
(33)
A．Cycling around a lake.
B．Motor racing in the desert.
C．Playing basketball in a gym.
D．Swimming in a sports center.

听力原文： The word "sports" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About 100 years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today.
People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want. A few people are paid for the sport they play and they are called "professional athletes", or "pros". They may only be pros for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in America earns more than $1,000,000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. Some international golf and tennis pros can make more than a million dollars a year. Of course, only a few pros can earn much money. But perhaps the most surprising thing about pros and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say "Buy our things". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as the pros have". Famous pros can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow companies to use their names or photographers and they are paid for this usage. Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time.

Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
Video games have become increasingly popular in both arcades and the average American home. People of all ages and from all walks of life are enjoying hours of entertainment by feeding their time and quarters into these flashing, beeping machines. Many skeptics as well as prospective arcade owners have asked what it is that gives Pac Man, Centipede, and a multitude of other popular games their magnetic appeal to millions of players. As a video player myself, I believe there are many answers to that question but three are outstanding.
Before a full-scale attack is launched against young video players for "throwing away" their quarters, one should first consider the rising costs of more traditional forms of entertainment. For instance, eighteen holes of miniature golf or ten frames of bowling will cost the player at least two dollars, and one movie costs four bucks. For just two dollars, a video player can get at least eight games, and the better he gets, the longer he can play. Compare that record with the game of miniature golf, where the better one becomes, the shorter amount of time he gets to play.
Not only are the games less expensive than other forms of entertainment, hut they are also more in tune with the important issues of the day. Even those people who have never been interested in science are beginning to appreciate how much science influences our lives today. Video games, which are the products of advanced technology and uncontrolled imagination, have brought today's youth closer than ever to the exciting world of science by games. In fact, there are even cartridges which teach garners how to program computers. It is exciting to be involved with the most up-to-date ideas of the day, and video games help provide people with the opportunity to be involved.
Besides the fact that they help people to get involved in technology, video games also pro vide an outlet for the emotions and the ego. If a man gets frustrated with his boss, for example, he can go to the arcade after work to destroy enemy cruisers rather than drown his anxieties in liquor. Also, for those who feel they are not capable of excelling at anything, the games provide am. challenges which are easily mastered with patience and practice. It gives a person a good feeling to know that he has broken his own record or that of someone else.
It can be inferred that Pac Man and Centipede are ______.
A．traditional video games
B．home video games
C．popular game machines
D．prevalent video games
From the passage we know that residents living in the small town now______.
A．are satisfied with their present situation
B．regret their coming
C．are to leave
D．have complaints
Where to Find Money for College
Paying for college has become a national nightmare. With four years' education at many good private schools costing over $100,000, parents are ready to break out. No way can they cover such an amount out of current incomes—even if grandparents chip in. Yet many families manage to get their kids through school—without being taken to the cleaners. How do they do it？ Here are some strategies for raising the money or cutting the expense—some of them little known but very effective.
Keep their noses in the books. Many excellent schools offer scholarships to kids at the top of their high-school class, regardless of financial need. Says counselor Jim Alexander of Highland Park High School near Chicago, "Other than proving need, the best way to get money is high grades."
Even though some top schools, such as those in the Ivy League, award no merit scholarships, most other colleges do. At Marquette University in Wisconsin, for instance, these with SAT scores of at least 1,300 can try for five full-tuition scholarships, each worth $13,010.Nearly half of Marquette's 1,600 freshmen get some merit aid.
In 1994 Ohio's Case Western Reserve awarded 1,200 merit scholarship—the best of them covering full tuition. At Boston University, merit money is doled out (少量地发放)to some 550 of the 4350
member freshman class. The biggest award is full tuition plus fees-worth more than $ 19,000—for SAT scores of at least 1450. Says B.U. financial-aid director Barbara Torrnow, "The best students will receive whatever aid they need to come to our school."
Check the earmarks. Some colleges have scholarship money earmarked (指定用途)for particular majors. George Washington University, for example, awards $ 7,500 scholarships to the best of its chemistry and physics students who score 650 or above on the math SATs and are in the top 15 percent of their class. Undergraduate schools of engineering—at Texas and Michigan, among others—often have money to hand out.
Encourage sports. If your kids are into water sports, they could get a grant from Stanford or Berkeley. At Northwestern University, where some 265 students received athletic scholarships last year, softball can provide a ticket for half the total $ 24,921 cost of attendance. (Football covers the full tab. ) Lake Erie College in Ohio awards $ 2,000 equestrian scholarships, though the college does not regard them as sports awards. Indiana University and some other schools have a scholarship for needy students in the top 25 percent of their class who have been golf caddies for at least two summers.
Especially encourage your daughters. As University of Texas at Austin financial-services director lawrence Burt says, "Sports scholarships are much more prevalent for women than a decade ago." Notre Dame, for example, awards women volleyball players scholarships that cover tuition fees, and room and board, valued at $ 22,600. Scholarships go not only to young women who excel in basketball, softball and lacrosse but also to those who excel at golf and — at Marquette — even riflery.
Push those music lessons. Many colleges seek students talented in music, art and theater. Boston University might pay thousands of dollars for your bassoonist child to play in its orchestra. Your trombonist could pick up a scholarship by joining the University of Texas band.
Cash in on competition. Apply to schools that are feeling competitive heart. Lehigh University, for instance, with an annual cost of almost $ 27,000, grew tired of losing students to Penn State, which charges Pennsylvania residents about $ 9,500. Last year Lehigh began awarding 25 to 30 of its best applicants scholarships ranging from $ 5,000 to $ 7,000 a year. Not to be outdone, nearby Lafayette College (cost: $ 27,221) provides $10,000 scholarships to selected students, as well
