Ⅳ.阅读理解

A TV program was being videoed. Tonight it was to select the sweetest whisper of love ever said between husband and wife.
The final competition was held among 10 married couples. Seven of them were young ones, two middleaged and one old. The last turn came to the old couple. The old lady took the microphone and said the sweetest whisper of love she had ever heard was: “Are you standing or sitting？”
The host fixed his eyes on her, quite puzzled by her remarks.
Regardless of all the talking around, she went on with her story. Her husband had been a doctor before he retired. One day when he was on duty at the hospital, he felt a sharp pain at the heart. By his professional knowledge he knew immediately he suffered a fit of heart attack. His colleagues carried him at once to the operation room and prepared him for a bypass operation, which was highly risky. The patient's family members had to be informed before it began. The patient himself was allowed to put in a word. Lying silently on the operation table with a trembling hand, he dialed after a moment's thinking of the number of his wife's phone. Finally a familiar voice came from the other end...
“So many years had passed but memory of this incident remained fresh in my mind. What he said in the beginning was: ‘Are you standing or sitting？’ He was actually worried about me, wondering how I felt at the news. He was afraid I would have fallen flat onto the ground. In such a critical(危急的)state as he was then, his thought still went to me...” The old lady concluded slowly, “That's the sweetest whisper of love I've ever heard all my life.”
A loud applause followed in the wake of a short silence.
[解题导语]　没有刻意的修饰，没有虚伪的奉承，一句普普通通的话语却成为最美好的甜言蜜语，那是发自心底的爱，感人肺腑，令人动容。

Decisionmaking can be extremely difficult.Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures.
In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the “I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally，often comes a confrontation(冲突)situation，which the Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point of view. Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual(相互的)attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
Besides，Western decisionmaking goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the workers. However，in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on“bottomup direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
Difference in decisionmaking also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a“you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese is thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonders at the slow pace in which the Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese is eager to move forward and the Westerners，perhaps，lag(落后于)behind as they take the time for indepth planning.
