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 decision-making 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 "bottom-up direction", ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decision-making 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 in-depth planning.(1)A Japanese business bases its decision________________.A. on top-down directionB. on nothing but its workers’ viewsC. on bottom-up directionD. only on its top leaders’ opinions(2)The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world_________.A. face great difficulty in making decisionsB. are different in decision making stylesC. have all members contribute to a decisionD. have two approaches:"I to you" and" you to I"(3)Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?A. They carry out the decision once it is made.B. There are many meetings in their businesses.C. They work to achieve harmony in doing business.D. They are good at handling confrontation situation.(4)The author’s attitude towards Japanese decision-making is_________.A. positiveB. criticalC. negativeD. casual【解析】这篇文章讲述了日本和西方世界决策风格的差异。
高考阅读理解与完形填空专项训练
高考阅读理解与完形填空专项训练高考英语试卷中的阅读理解和完形填空是考查学生英语综合运用能力的重要部分。
阅读理解不仅要求学生能够理解文章的主旨大意,还需要能够把握细节信息,进行推理判断。

完形填空训练1. 词汇积累:完形填空很大程度上考查学生的词汇量。
因此,学生需要不断积累词汇,尤其是一些常见词的同义词、反义词和派生词。
2. 上下文理解:在做完形填空题时,要注重上下文的理解。
很多时候,答案就隐藏在文章的前后文之中。

Ideally, experiments should play as big a role in the human sciences as they do in the natural sciences; but in practice this is not usually the case. The are at least three reasons for this.1.Human scientists are often trying to make sense of complex real world situations in which it is simply impossible to run controlled experiment.2.The artificiality of some of the experiments that can be conducted may make the behavior of the participants abnormal.3.There are moral reasons for not conducting experiments that have a negative effect on the people who participate in them.Faced with the above difficulties, what are human scientists to do? One solution is to wait for nature to provide the appropriate experimental conditions. We can, for example, learn something about how a normal brain functions by looking at people who have suffered brain damage; and we can gain some understanding into the roles played by genes and the environment by studying twins, who have been separated at birth and brought up in different families. In the case of economics, economic history can provide us with a bank of-admittedly not very well-controlled-experimental data.However, human scientists do not just sit around waiting for natural experiments to arise. They also think of some experiments of their own. Suppose you want to know how a baby sees the world. We cannot, of course, ask the baby since it has not yet learnt to speak. So it might seem that all we can do is guess. People usually won’t change their mind until it was found out that babies tend to stare at surprising things longer than at unsurprising ones. This key understanding was like opening a window on to the developing mind. There was now a way of testing babies’ expectations and getting some idea of how they are six months old, babies can already do the following things: figuring out that objects consist of parts that move together being aware of the difference between living and non-living things and even doing simple arithmetic work.60.What is true about the natural sciences and the human sciences according to this passage?A.Both human scientists and natural scientists can run controlled experiments.B.Experiments done by human scientists and natural scientists are artificial.C.Both human and natural science experiments should be of the same importance.D.It’s not moral to conduct human science experiments.61.What do we know about human scientists from this passage?A.They are white coat scientists.B.They have more experimental sources than natural scientists.C.They conduct experiments passively.D.They face more difficulties in carrying out their research.62.Which of the following experiments belongs to human science experiment?A. Vinegar Volcano Vinegar and baking soda make.for a fun and easy science experiment. Try creating a vinegar volcano.B. Taste Without Smell Put your senses to the testwith this simple experiment that shows theimportance of your sense of smell.C.

*******************************************************结束1、(福州市2011届高三年级第一次质量检查)Who hasn’t found themselves reaching for the closest food available when they’re tired and stress ed? More and more research is proving that this isn’t all in our mind.Some foods really do lead to a change in our moods(心情).Carbohydrate(碳水化合物)for calmThis is how some people medicate themselves with food—by reaching for cookies or pasta(意大利面食)whenever they’re upset.Unfortunately,it doesn’t always work.You must eat a meal consisting of 100%carbohydrate,on an empty stomach,to obtain the serotonin(血清素)increase so that you have a good mood.To get the wished-For effect.you must not eat anything for four hours and then eat at least 30 grams of straight carbohydrate.Dry cereal(谷类食品),a piece of bread with jam,or a potato should do the trick.Protein(蛋白质)for powerOf course.sometimes we don’t need to be calm and sleepy.Sometimes we need a great deal of mental concentration,so this is when it’s important to mix protein and carbohydrate.The protein will prevent the tryptophan(色氨酸)from flooding your brain,and the rise in serotonin won’t occur.Why dessert makes us happyFat and sugar cause the brain to let go endorphins(内啡肽),which send pleasure signals throughout the body.This would be fine,except humans are not particularly good at stopping at one cookie or cake.You can also satisfy your sweet tooth by choosing fruit for dessert.Timing your meals for energyBlood sugar drops after four hours of going without food,causing a decrease in energy.Eating usually fixes this within 20 to 30 minutes,but don’t suppose that eating more will cause a faster increase in energy.When you eat has as much of an effect on your mood as what you eat. If you regularly go for a long period of time between meals,rethink your schedule and plan ahead.(1)The underlined phrase in the third paragraph means_________.A. be extremely smartB. intend to cheat someoneC. bring about the desired resultD. do something to amuse people(2)The function of protein is_________.A. to help you keep calm-and-sleepyB. to make you feel energeticC. to lead you to slownessD. to increase serotonin in your brain(3)We can infer from the last two parts that_________________.A. fat and sugar can greatly help people feel happyB. we humans tend to eat lots of cookies and cakesC. the more we eat, the faster we will gain energyD. what we eat is more important than when we eat(4)The main idea of the passage is____________.A. eating for a better moodB. eating to make you calmC. eating for more proteinD. eating to make us strong*************************************************************结束高考预练1.
