A
Informal
conversation
is
an
important
part
of
any
business
relationship.
Before
you
start
a
discussion,
however,
make
sure
you
understand
which
topics
are
suitable
and
which
are
considered
taboos
(禁忌)
in
a
particular
culture.
Latin
Americans
enjoy
sharing
information
about
their
local
history,
art,
and
customs.
They
expect
questions
about
their
family
and
are
sure
to
show
pictures
of
their
children.
You
may
feel
free
to
ask
similar
questions
of
your
Latin
American
friends.
The
French
think
of
conersation
as
an
art
form,
and
they
enjoy
the
value
of
lively
discussions
as
well
as
disagreements.
For
them,
arguments
can
be
interesting
—
and
they
can
cover
pretty
much
or
any
topic
—
as
long
as
they
occur
in
a
respectful
and
intelligent
(智慧的)
manner.
In
the
United
States,
business
people
like
to
discuss
a
wide
range
of
topics,
including
opinions
about
work,
family,
hobbies,
and
politics.
In
Japan,
China
and
Korea,
however,
people
are
much
more
private.
They
do
not
share
much
about
their
thoughts,
feelings,
or
emotions
because
they
feel
that
doing
so
might
take
away
from
the
harmonious
(和谐的)
business
relationship
they're
trying
to
build.
Middle
Easterners
are
also
private
about
their
personal
lives
and
family
matters.
It
is
considered
rude,
for
example,
to
ask
a
businessman
from
Saudi
Arabia
about
his
wife
or
children.
As
a
general
rule,
it's
best
not
to
talk
about
politics
or
religion
(宗教)
with
your
business
friends.
This
can
get
you
into
trouble,
even
in
the
United
States,
where
people
hold
different
views.
In
addition,
discussing
one's
salary
is
usually
considered
unsuitable.
Sports
is
typically
a
friendly
subject
in
most
parts
of
the
world,
although
be
careful
not
to
criticize
a
national
sport.
Instead,
be
friendly
and
praise
your
host's
team.

B
(2016·郑州市高三质量预测)It
is
quite
reasonable
to
blame
traffic
jams,
the
cost
of
gas
and
the
great
speed
of
modern
life,
but
manners
on
the
road
are
becoming
horrible.
Everybody
knows
that
the
nicest
men
would
become
fierce
tigers
behind
the
wheel.
It
is
all
right
to
have
a
tiger
in
a
cage,
but
to
have
one
in
the
driver's
seat
is
another
matter.
Road
politeness
is
not
only
good
manners,
but
a
good
sense.
It
takes
the
most
cool headed
drivers
great
patience
to
give
up
the
desire
to
beat
back
when
forced
to
face
rude
driving.
On
the
other
hand,
a
little
politeness
goes
a
long
way
towards
reducing
the
possibility
of
quarrelling
and
fighting.
A
friendly
nod
or
a
wave
of
thanks
in
answer
to
an
act
of
politeness
helps
to
create
an
atmosphere
of
good
will
and
becomes
so
necessary
in
modern
traffic
conditions.
But
such
behavior
of
politeness
is
by
no
means
enough.
Many
drivers
nowadays
don't
even
seem
able
to
recognize
politeness
when
they
see
it.
However,
misplaced
politeness
can
also
be
dangerous.
A
typical
example
is
the
driver
who
waves
a
child
crossing
the
street
at
a
wrong
place
into
the
path
of
oncoming
cars
that
may
not
be
able
to
stop
in
time.
The
same
goes
for
encouraging
old
ladies
to
cross
the
road
wherever
and
whenever
they
want
to.
An
experienced
driver,
whose
manners
are
faultless,
told
me
it
would
help
if
drivers
learnt
to
correctly
join
in
a
traffic
stream
without
causing
total
blockages
that
give
rise
to
unpleasant
feelings.
Unfortunately,
modern
drivers
can't
even
learn
to
drive,
let
alone
master
the
roadmanship
(公路驾车技能).
Years
ago,
experts
warned
us
that
the
fast
increase
of
the
car
ownership
would
demand
more
give and take
(互谅互让)
from
all
road
users.
It
is
high
time
for
all
of
us
to
take
this
message
to
heart.

(2016·海口高考模拟)What's
life
like
on
a
deserted
island
Senator
Jeff
Flake
of
Arizona
decided
to
find
out.
The
adventurous
senator
took
a
vacation
from
Capitol
Hill
and
went
on
a
four day
Robinson
Crusoe
style
holiday
with
his
two
teenage
sons
to
a
remote,
deserted
island
in
the
North
Pacific
Ocean.
The
senator
and
his
sons,
15 year old
Tanner
and
13 year old
Dallin,
traveled
5,200
miles
from
Phoenix,
Arizona
to
the
island
of
Biggarenn.
They
didn't
carry
any
food
or
water.
The
island
is
part
of
the
Marshall
Islands.
It
offered
no
basic
supplies,
so
the
Flakes
had
to
catch
and
cook
their
own
food
and
purify
their
water.
Their
diet
was
made
up
of
coconuts,
crabs
and
fish.
They
caught
the
crab
and
fish
themselves
and
cooked
the
food
over
an
open
fire
started
with
a
magnifying
glass
(放大镜)．
The
Flakes
brought
along
a
lobster
trap
(龙虾夹)
in
the
hope
of
having
some
delicious
treats,
but
lost
it
within
the
first
few
hours
after
it
was
attacked
by
a
shark.
They
also
carried
two
pumps
to
remove
salt
from
ocean
water.
It
took
them
hours
each
night
to
pump
for
just
a
few
gallons
of
fresh
water.
One
of
the
most
memorable
moments
of
the
trip,
the
father
said,
was
when
he
and
his
15 year old
son
were
almost
caught
by
sharks
after
spearing
(用叉叉起)
a
fish
in
the
ocean.
Still,
it
was
quite
an
enjoyable
holiday
for
them.
“For
a
dad
it
was
a
wonderful
thing.
No
video
games
around,
no
television,
no
disturbance,
no
texting，”
Flake
recalled.
