BEC商务英语（初级）听力练习试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. 5 million. In the early days, Brown rejected the idea of a competitive pricing policy to establish the company. He always thought that product quality was more important to the company’s success. He believes this approach has helped make the company a market leader. Five years ago the company bought new machinery. This has been a success and they now intend to spend large sums on a new computer system. This will improve the speed of customer service. David Brown believes the workforce plays a large part in the success of his firm. There is a good relationship between management and staff. Basic pay is average for the area and holidays are standard but the company pays bonuses to staff when large orders are finished on time. Local government wants to encourage training schemes in the workplace and META has successfully applied to them for funding. META hopes that the company’s training scheme will increase productivity but they accept that money invested in training doesn’t guarantee this. META doesn’t have a large management structure and it has promoted most of its managers from within the company. Brown does not believe management qualifications are important and looks instead for people with a positive attitude towards the company. Brown believes his company can maintain its market position. He has invested a lot of money in the production process and is confident about the skills of his workforce. Marketing, however, is one part of the business he recognizes could get better.1．正确答案：1971 涉及知识点：听力2．正确答案：PRODUCT QUALITY 涉及知识点：听力3．正确答案：COMPUTER SYSTEM 涉及知识点：听力4．正确答案：BONUSES 涉及知识点：听力5．正确答案：FUNDING/MONEY/GRANTS 涉及知识点：听力6．正确答案：ATTITUDE 涉及知识点：听力7．正确答案：MARKETING 涉及知识点：听力PART FOUR听力原文：Woman: Are you going to launch simply yet another hot-drinks machine?Man: Definitely not. Some of you may think we’re going to launch simply yet another hot-drinks machine. Can you tell me what hot-drinks machine you use daily is like?Woman：Well, you put a coin in a slot and out comes a cup of something which tastes terrible. It’s supposed to be tea or coffee—but it doesn’t taste anything like either of these two drinks. Man: Oh, that is too bad. You know—and I feel the same way—we did an experiment recently involving a wide range of hot-drinks machines. And we found that over two-thirds of the people using them couldn’t tell whether they were drinking tea or coffee. That’s how awful the taste of the drink was in each case!Woman: So how about the hot—drinks machine in the past? Were they multi-functional?Man: Such machines have been in use far too long. Even the Ancient Greeks had such machines. Woman: Even the Ancient Greeks!? What did their machines provide?Man: Their machines didn’t provide you with tea or coffee when you put a coin in. They gave you something much better—holy water. And it seems they were used for a long time without any of the breakdowns that are so common today. Now this was over 2，000 years ago. And I’m sure they had similar machines long ago in Ancient China．Woman: What is new of your product?Man: So what is new? Well, this morning we are introducing a modern, hi-tech hot-drinks machine. Woman: So what is the difference between the normal and the new?Man: With the normal machines, you put a coin in the slot, press the appropriate button and the machine puts powder—tea, coffee, chocolate, milk—into a cup. Then it pours hot water over the powder. Well, unlike these old vending machines, our new vending machine uses boiling water and serves fresh coffee—not instant coffee—and fresh tea made with high quality tea-leaves rather than tea bags. Woman: It sounds wonderful. Anytime, anywhere there is such a machine I can enjoy a cup of fresh coffee or tea．Man: And there’s another feature. People don’t need coins to operate the new machine. Instead, they can use a special kind of credit card. In the machine itself there is a small computer. This computer makes a record of each card that is inserted—and, of course, the number of times the card is used. This is far more convenient than having to use a coin. Woman: It seems to be practical too—since most of hot-drinks machines are used in the workplace—that is, in offices, factories and warehouses. And some are used in clubs and leisure centers. So it’s an easy matter for my company to charge users like me at the end of every month—or every week. Man:We’ve now produced a free book containing advice about using the machine. You may take and have a look at it. Woman: Your machine must be very expensive. Can every workplace afford to own one?Man: No. Our company proposes to make it very easy for companies to buy the machine. We shall charge even less than the cost of making the machine, and so it will be very cheap. But we shall be the only people who can regularly service the machine. The special parts required for services and repairs are manufactured by us. No one else will be supplied with these parts. We shall also charge a realistic price to re-stock the machine each time it runs out of tea and coffee. All this is where our profits will come from. Woman: Well, I understand. If I have interest, I will contact you later.8．Most people didn’t knowA．how to use hot-drinks machines.B．whether they were drinking tea or coffee.C．how awful the hot drinks were.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力9．The Ancient Greeks used machines to serveA．hot drinks.B．drinks like tea and coffeeC．holy water.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力10．These machines were used more thanA．200 years ago.B．2，000 years ago.C．20，000 years ago.正确答案：B 涉及知识点：听力11．After first putting powder into a cup，ordinary hot-drinks machines，then addA．tea or coffee.B．milk.C．hot water.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力12．The new machine servesA．instant coffee and tea．B．fresh coffee and tea．C．coffee powder and tea bags.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力13．Every new machine containsA．a credit card.B．a special coin.C．a small computer.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力14．Most of these machines are used in A．offices，factories and warehouses.

剑桥商务英语高级真题集听力原文十二篇09-TEST 9This is the Business English Certificate Higher 4, Listening Test 1.Part One. Questions 1 to 12You will hear Jack Lester, founder of Hinde Instruments Corporation, a telescope manufacturer, giving a talk about the development of his company.As you listen, for questions 1 to 12, complete the notes, using up to three words or a number.After you have listened once, replay the recording.You now have 45 seconds to read through the notes[pause]Now listen, and complete the notes.[pause]My name is Jack Lester and I’m here to talk about the company I originally founded in nineteen seventy-two, Hinde Instruments. Today, the company, with factories in Nevada and Texas and its headquarters in California, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of telescopes. Sales have grown at a rate of thirty-six per cent for the last ten years and in two thousand and two, reached one hundred and twenty-six million dollars. But this hasn’t always been the case. In fact, in nineteen ninety-one, the threat of bankruptcy was hanging over the company.I’ve always been an amateur astronomer and started building my own telescopes when I was ten. After working as an engineer at WAC, it seemed quite natural to start my own telescope company, Hinde Instruments. To start with, the company importedtelescopes and sold them by mail order, but by nineteen seventy-seven, the company was making its own telescopes. Almost overnight, we took a huge portion of the market, amateur astronomers being keen to buy our telescopes because of the features they offered. By nineteen eighty-three, sales reached two million dollars.In nineteen eighty-six, I sold the company for six point five million dollars to the Amtex Group, staying on as President. From the start, I disagreed with the new owners, and things did not go well. Then the sky fell in. In February nineteen ninety- one, the bank called in the company’s loans. There was no cash at the time. In fact, the company’s balance sheet gave a net worth of minus two point five million dollars for nineteen ninety-one, the company having lost that much the previous year on sales of eleven point five million dollars.I made a personal loan to the company of sixty- five thousand dollars to stave off the bank for one week so I could start to negotiate with three senior managers at Hinde interested in buying the company. It worked, and Amtex agreed to sell us one hundred per cent of the company’s stock, along with all its liabilities, for one thousand dollars. As the key investor, I purchased fifty-one per cent of the company for five hundred and ten dollars.。

Fine, thanks .I’m glad you managed to find me somewhere so near the office. That makes things so much easier in the morning.

My luggage is somewhere between here and Cape Town.3. Wonderful. I’m really enjoying it here and the people are so friendly .I’ll definitely come back for a holiday. But I’ll need a week at least next time.actually.I wouldn’t mind living here for a while.4. Well. I thought it was pretty good from our point of view, but I can see that some people might not be so happy .still; we got through quite a lot and made some progress. But I still think we’re a long way from a decision.Listening 2S1=Speaker 1 S2=Speaker 2S1 so.

Any better?-Not really. No. The more we sell the less cash we seem to have.-Yes, I know. It's called overtrading.You gotta have to figure out the quicker way of turning the sales and cash.-But how Babara? That's the question.-Well, did you think any more about offering earlier settlement discount?-Oh yeah, we talked about most of it. They sounds quite interesting. It seems that if we offer 1% discount, about half of our customers will pay in 10 days.-Well that would make a big difference of cash flow.-But if we offer 2%, 3 quaters of our customers will pay within ten days.-That's great! So why don't you do it?-Oh come on Babara, margin is small after all already. I don't see how we can afford to offer these discounts! If we give it 2% discount, we will loose thousands of dollars of the year!-Do you know how much exactly?-Well on average month of the sales on 25,000 dollars, it costs over 400,000 of the year!-What if you offer 1% and half customers use it?-Well it already costs 15,000 of the year.that's a lot of money, Babara!-But don't forget your financing cost, Steeph. Financing of cash flow gap means you pay for the bank on 300,000 dollars of interests. I will doubt that if you offer the 1% discount,you will save almost thousands on the financing cost.-So what are you saying is the real cost of the discount? Will it only be 500 dollars more?-That's right. And your cash flow for the month will increase by over 8000 dollars.And with the 2% discount,you will have extra 16000 a month.-Wahoo!That much!We could really use that extra cash, Steeph!-Mmmuh...I still think 2% is too much!-Then why don't we offer 1%?-Mmmuh. Babara?-Well, it's not my decision. But if I were you, Steeph,I will really think very seriously about early settlement discount.-Ok, I get the point. If you really can make that big difference, we will give it a try.unit04a1 The thing is ,When you buy a car,you're spending a lot of money so you want to get excited about what you're buying.Reliability and after-sales service are all very important,but they're not exactly exciting ,are they? I want my car to say something about me .I want something which looks sporty and attracts attention .I don't mind paying that bit extra for something that makes me look good.2 A lot of my friends have got e-mail so I wanted to buy a computer. I just didn't know much about them, and I found that all that information you get about performance and so on is totally confusing. And then I saw that advert on TV with those new computers. It showed how easy it is to get onto the Internet and send e-mail. So I went to a computer superstore, had a look at one and bought it straightaway.3 I thought buying a mobile phone would be easy, but it wasn't .You ask how much they cost and you get all this stuff about monthly service contracts and different tariffs at different times of day .It's almost impossible to work out how much they actually cost! Anyway,I worked out that the best deal for me was a one-yearall-inclusive package. So that's what I bought.4 I used to think that one refrigerator was pretty muck like any other. But thenI saw this TV programme about how much energy kitchen appliances use. Fridges are the worst, apparently. That's because they're on all the time so they're really bad for the ozone layer-all those CFC gases or whatever they call them . So I decided to get a fridge that doesn't give off lots of harmful gases .And it's cheaper to run as well .5 It's not even a particularly well-known make of video recorder but I had one of them before which I was really happy with. I didn't have much money when I bought the first one so I just got the cheapest one. I could find. But it was great.It lasted years and I never had any problems with it .So, of course, I decided to buy the same brand again. I mean, a friend of mine recently bought a really well-known make and it's been back to the shop twice already.Listening 2 and 3I Now you've set up Sainsbury's Bank, how do you market its products?D Well, the core target for Sainsbury's Bank is , quite understandably, the Sainsbury's customer. So, the vast majority of marketing is either instore or through direct mail. We've bought very little advertising space,but we do also use public relations as a marketing tool .I And how successful has it been ?D It's actually exceeded all our expectations. We've already attracted over 700,000 customers within 12 months of starting trading .I Really? And how does a new bank like Sainsbury's succeed in attracting people away form the High Street banks?D Quite simply by offering value for money and excellent customer service standards.I think Reward Points are another big attraction. With a Sainsbury'a Bank Visa Card, for example, a customer can soon collect a lot of Reward Points, which of course can be exchanged for air miles or other kinds of vouchers.I And what makes you think you 'll succeed in such a competitive sector?D Well, our key operational advantage is that, as a telephone-only operation, Sainsbury's Bank doesn't have the high overheads that a branch network does . Therefore, we're able to offer better rates . I think another important point is that Saintbury's experience in retailing means that its bank can apply a retailer's customer-focused mentality to the financial services sector.I Now some observers say that supermarket chains risk damaging their brands by moving into a sector which they have no experience of. How do you react to that?D Well, that assumes that supermarket will offer the same poor customer service as the traditional banks and therefore attract the same bad publicity. As I said, customer service is precisely our strength. We firmly believe that our commitmentto our customers will prevent brand damage.I Yes, other supermarkets obviously feel the same way and we regularly see reports about how they 're planning to sell computers, cars and even houses. How do you see the Sainsbury's brand developing in the future?D Well, the brand is continuously evolving and developing . The move into financial sevices is another stage of that ongoing development . When you look back at the history of the Sainsbury's brand ,it's already been developed in many different ways. Who could have imagined , back in 1869, that a small family dairy would grow into a major retail group operating over 800 stores? I've no doubt that the brand will continue to develop, but it's difficult to say exactly how.unit05aUnit 5a RelocationListeningA Amanda Ramone speaking.B Hi,Amanda.It's Bob here.A Hi,Bob.Did you get my report about ERS?B Yeah,and no problem.Now,you said you were contacting another company?A Yeah.I spoke to one this morning.Worldwide Relocation.And they look good.B And how well do they meet our needs?Do they stand up to ERS?A They're both pertty similar.Like ERS,they have a house search service...B And do they handle all the paperwork?Visas,work permits...?A Yeah,no problems there.B Ok,fine.Now what about transport?You know,removal,shipping.A Let me just...Oh right.Here it is.No,this is something Worldwide don't offer.B Whereas ERS do.Mmm.How do you feel about that,Amanda?A I don't know,but I don't think this as a major problem.I think it's something you can habdle fromthe Seattle end.B Ok.And what else?How about finding schoolsA Yeah.they have a school search service.And another interesting thing is that they run orientation and cultural integration programmes.B Mmm,sounds interesting.Amanda.So,what's your feeling on this?A Well,neither company meets all our key needs,but there's no-one else in the picture.B And in terms of cost?A In terms of cost,ERS are pffering the best deal.However,cost isn't a major issue here.B You know,it worries me that ERS offer no partner employment assistance.How about Worldwide?A Yes,and very successully.The guy I spoke to said that they can noemally arrange employment for the partner within three months.And as most of our people have wives or husband,...B Yeah.That's the main problem for me with ERS.A For me too...B Ok,Amanda,Well,you're closest to this.What's your view?unit05bJero: ---Jim: Hello, Jero.

I didn’t really feel I was abusing the system. I mean everybody does it. It was just a few small things really – a fax here, a few photocopies there. I felt it was justified. After all, I did do a lot of unpaid overtime and took work home with me. They seemed really pleased with my performance, so I honestly didn’t think they’d mind.2. My boss didn’t mind if I arrived a couple of minutes late in the morning but if I wanted to leave on time, well that was a completely different story. Well, aftersix months, I’d just had enough of it, working late every day of the week, so one day I told him straight, I’d only work the hours I’d agreed in my contract.3. I was having problems because I just couldn’t seem to proritise my work and organize my time. So I suppose it looked to my boss as if I couldn’t do the job. But it’s ridiculous really,. I could do it, but I just couldn’t seem to keep up with the workload. And this was a place where results were everything.4. I knew my turn would come soon. But I hated the whole idea of spending three hours in the car every day just getting to work and back. It was OK for some of the others, I mean. They lived nearer the new site. But if I’d had to work overtime, I’d never have got home before 9 o’clock. Well, in the end, I just couldn’t do it, and I wouldn’t do it, and that’s what I told them/5. I suppose they didn’t want to carry me any longer. I think people just got fed with having to cover for me and take on all my work when I was away. But it seems a pretty poor show to sack someone for something that isn’t their fault. I mean no one wants to be ill, do they?unit08aUnit08A Business ExpensesDavid: David Hopes!Roger: Hello, Mr. Hopes, This Roger Hargry from Accounts, I am just ringing about your expenses claim, There are a couple of things I need to check.D: Okay, what would you need to know?R: Well, you put down it was a business trips, but do you think you could a bit more specific?D: Yes, Sorry, it was actually a marketing conference.R: OK, And stayed in the conference hotel, but you didn’t put down how much it cost.D: Sorry, it was 80 pounds, that was for one night.R: I see, Now under client entertaining, you put 56.70 pounds for mile and drinks, would you ask to put down the name of anybody you entertained you know.D: I am sorry, I must have forgotten, anyway, the client’s name is Limbert, Pole Limbert, he is one of building suppliers.R: Could you spell his last name for me ?D: Limbert, yes, L-I-M-B-E-R-T.R: Right, thanks, oh, and this amount for 9 pounds are the other expenses, what exactly was that for?D: 9 pounds, let me see, 9 pounds, oh, yes, that was for a couple of faxes I have sent from the hotel.unit09aI Maybe you'd like to begin by explaining how Choices came about.D Well, we wanted to show tath PricewaterhouseCoopers recognized the individuality and diversity of all its employees. Flexible benefits was the ideal way of sending this message with massively increasing the firm's payroll costs. Also, after the merger between the two firms, Price Waterhouse and Coopers & Lybrand, we wanted a new scheme that both sets of employees chould identify with.I And what advantages does Choices give employees?D Well, it sounds obvious, but the main advantage is choice and the opportunity to change benefits as an employee's lifestyle changes.There's also a price advantage on many of the benefits.I How does that work?D Well, there are tax savings when taking certain benefits rather than cash. But the real advantage is that our size means that we can find the best providers in the market and then negotiate bulk discounts with them.I And how did you inform employees of all this when you launched the scheme?D We had to be very pro-active to ensure employees understood everything about Choices, from its concept to its implementation. We began by creating awareness with printed material, and then ran a series of countrywide roadshows.I Roadshows? Why did you choose roadshows?D Because they were the ideal way of offering employees a face-to-face opportunity to develop their understanding of Choices and get the answers they needed. People were already going through huge changes with the merger, so we had to expect some challenging questions.I And how successful were the roadshows?D Well, they were attended by 8,000 our of 19, 000 UK employees. ANd since then, research among staff has shown very high awareness levels and a very good understanding of why Choices was introduced.I And where did you go from there?D Well, having created awareness and interest, we then had to encourage employeed participation. we did this by making detailed information about Choices available to all employees electronically. Any employees needing further information chould then contact the Choices call center if they needed to.I From the feedback you've had so far, which benefits do you thyink will prove most popular?D Well, we don't know yet. But things like pensions and company cars are likely to prove popular. But typically, with flexible benefits, most interest is shown in varying the amount of annual leave. And I expect it'll be the same with Choices.I You mean people taking more days off?D Well, not just more. Many employees actually reduce their annual allowance in exchange for cash. It's just another example of the flexibility which characterises Choices - which, as we know from post-recruitment interviews, can be a real factor when people are comparing job offers.I Yes, I can image. Choices must have had a real effect on recruitment.D Well, it only went live in April, so it's still too early to say exactly what effect it's going to have. But with Flex, the old benefits scheme that Price Waterhouse used to have before the merger, there was a 30% increase in the number of candidates who accepted job offers. We expect Choices to be just as effective, and help us get the brightest and the best - both university graduates and experienced applicants.I And finally, what do you see as the main benefit for PricewaterhouseCoopers?D Well, for one thing, it should reduce staff turnover. Replacing an employee through an agency can be a very expensive business. But most importantly, it'll help define the PricewaterhouseCoopers image and sned a clear signal about out values to employees and job applicants. There's also the experience it gives us in running flexible benefits schemes.I What do you mean exactly?D Well, flexible benefts is something our consultancy service is asked to advise companies on. So Choices provides us with invaluable experience.unit09b1 We spoke about how things were going in general and then we finally got down to discussing my workload. We talked about how we could define my duties more clearly and she agreed that I could hand over some of my work to colleagues. So, hopefully, I'll now be able to concentrate on the things I was hired to do in the first place.2 My boss said that even though money was tight, they 'd support me if I wanted to study for a management qualification. She said that the company could subsidies the cost of the course, and she promised to be flexible about holidays. But the company woud benefit from the skills I'd learn anyway, so it's in their interests as well.3 It was very difficult because the company's been quite good to me, really. I mean, the conditions are good and I can't really complain about salary, either. But I explained I'd been here five years now and I'm still doing the same job. I also mentioned that I'd applied for a couple of internal vacancies but got nowhere. And on one occasion the position was given to someone who started well after I did.4 Well, it started off with the usual stuff. You know, he thanked me for all the hard work and things like that. But then he started on about missed deadlines and careless mistakes. The thing is, half of the things he mentioned weren't even my responsibility. I complained about the lack of support I'd had from management but he just wasn't interested. And then he asked me to write a full report on what had gone wrong. I can't believe it!5 All in all, the appraisal was very positive. The only thing is, of course, having such a successful year means that management gets carried away and expects miracles from you all the time. I told my boss that I wasn't sure we'd be able to repeat last year's performance. But he ignored me, of course, and produced this set of ridiculous objectives that he thougnt' d be an 'exciting challenge'. You really have to wonder sometimes which planet management's on.unit10aUnit 10a Marketing disastersListening1 It was my idea in the first place,and it did give us really catchy slogans like,"whenyou see this offer,you'll think you're seeing double".But what happened was achance in a million,and they'd all come by car!So what could I do?if we'd cancelledthe promotion,it would have caused a riot.In the end,it cost the companythousands,and it cost me my job.2 In theory,it was a brilliant idea,but I don't think anyone ever imagined it wouldattract so much interest.Looking back,I suppose it was bound to with big prizemoney like that.It wouldn't have been so bad if the questions had been moredifficult,That was probably our biggest mistake.Some of them were so easy,evenmy senven-year-old was able to find the anwsers.But the whole thing was acatalogue of disasters from stars to finish,really.3 It's easy to look back now and say we should have done this or that.but at thetime,well...I suppose it would've been OK if we hadn't allowed flat-owners toenter,but with a big promotion you don't want to exclude anyone,In the end,weoffered the winner money instead and tried to keep it as quiet as we could.If we'dtaken any publicity photos,we would have looked radiculous.unit10bI Donald, your consultency helps companies enter foreign markets. What kind of help are companies looking for when they come to KMP?D Well, companies usually have a specific market in mind and a pretty good idea as to which products they intend to export. BUt what they're not sure about is how to get the product into the target maket.I So what is the best way?D Well, there are many options, form franchises to wholly-owned subsidiaries. The higher teh degree of ownership, the more control you have. However, ownership also means more investment and, therefore, more risk.。

商务英语听力原文(阮绩智浙大出版)

商务英语听力原文(阮绩智浙大出版)-CAL-FENGHAI-(2020YEAR-YICAI)_JINGBIANObviously the benefits of proper planning are very important—and will certainly help to reduce nerves. However there are other things that you can do to fully take control of the nerves before you present.Physical techniquesThe benefits of breathing are often overlooked but this one simple technique can really help to calm you and slow you down. When you are nervous you probably also speed up your speech. So controlling the speed that you speak at is a good way to help control your nerves. Of course, as you can imagine, there are lots of other physical strategies that people employ to help reduce nerves and focus their minds.Psychological techniquesThere are also some key psychological techniques that you can apply to help you to kick out those negative thoughts that can creep into your mind and reduce your confidence.These techniques can help you to maintain a positive mental attitude towards your presentation and help you remain in control if any negative thoughts start to creep into your mind. One technique is to imagine that the presentation has just taken place – and that it was successful.Spend time imagining that success—and how you feel at that time. Imagine the voices and other sounds that you hear at the end of the presentation and what the audiences’ faces look like and what else you can see in the room. Take time to imagine all of the positives about the presentation that made it a success.A lot of the time our imagination focuses on the negatives—so forcing it to focus on the positive can help to turn things around and will help build your confidence.Rehearsing the presentationRehearsing your presentation is essential for practicing and assessing your timekeeping, body language (such as eye contact and hand gestures), voice projection, pace of speech and logical order of content. It gives presenters a chance to amend their presentation and envisage how they will go about presenting on the day. It may be useful to record your voice on a mobile phone, or video yourself and watch it back, noting good points and areas for improvement.The more presentation experience you have the more confident you will feel and less nervous you become. Familiarize yourself with several techniques for overcoming presentation nervousness so that your next speaking engagement can be a fun and rewarding experience.。

商务英语考试英语听力例题

商务英语考试英语听力例题Identify the Differences ：Six Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences了解不同：中西文化差异的六种根本模式1. Different Communication Styles 不同的交流风格The way people municate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of munication style is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I＇ll consider it" to "definitely so," with many shades in between.Another major aspect of munication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal munication. Non-verbal munication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition,different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in municating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends. Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.2. Different Attitudes Toward Conflict 对待冲突的不同看法Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are remended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict.3. Different Approaches to Completing Tasks 对待完成任务的不同方法From culture to culture, there are different ways that people move toward。
