kisses. Business meetings sometimes start later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians prefer face-to-face communication over emails or phone calls. In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow(鞠
躬). Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings are often fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank(等级) is important so people avoid disagreeing with someone of a higher rank. In the UAE
In the UAE, the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. Then handshake seems to
be longer than elsewhere. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men are also covered from neck to elbows and down to the knees. People usually hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food of eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. Is it strange? Yes, but it is actually a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented. In Switzerland
The Swiss like to be formal and call each other by last name. They also respect personal things. You
should be careful not to ask about such topics. Punctuality(守时) is very important. It comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. Clean dress is welcome too. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate. 31.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’s most famous
historical places but also one of its greatest mysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a
temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put
together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost
5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”
36. Visitors like to go there in to enjoy on the longest day of the year.
A. July; sunrise
B. June; sunrise
C. June; sunset
D. July; sunset
37. When was Stonehenge most likely built?
A. 750,000 years ago. C. 5,000 years ago.
B. Six centuries ago. D. In 2001.
38. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?
A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.
6
B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime. C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.
D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones. 39. What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?
A. Where it was built. C. When it was built.
B. Who built it. D. Why it was built.
40. What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners”?
A. He has known who built Stonehenge. B. He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery. C. He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge. D. He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.
