2.根据下列材料请回答 56~60 题:CIt looked like a typical business meeting. Six men, neatly dressed in white shirts and ties, filed into the boardroom of a small Jakarta company and sat down at a long table. But instead of consulting files or hearing reports, they closed their eyes and began to meditate, consulting the spirits of ancient Javanese kings. Mysticism touches almost every aspect of life in Indonesia and business is no exception. One of the meditators said his weekly meditation sessions are aimed mainly at bringing the peace of mind that makes for good decision-making. But the insight gained from mystic communication with spirits of wise kings has also helped boost the profits of his five companies.Mysticism and profits have come together since the 13th century introduction of Islam to Indonesia by Indian Moslem merchants. Those devout traders, called “Wali Ullah” or “those close to God,” energetically spread both trade and religion by adapting their appeals to the native mysticism of Java. Legends attribute the magic powers of foreknowledge to the Wali Ullah. These powers were believed to be gained through meditation and fasting.Businessman Hadisiko said his group fasts and meditates all night every Thursday to become closer to God and to contact the spirits of the great men of the past. “If we want to employ someone at the managerial level, we meditate together and often the message comes that this man can' t hold on to money or he is untrustworthy. Or maybe the spirits will tell us he should be hired.” Hadisiko hastened to add that his companies also hold modern personnel management systems and that formal qualifications are essential for a candidate even to be considered. Perspective investments also are considered through mystic meditation. “With the mind relaxed and open, it is easier to be objective in judging the risk of a new venture. Meditation and contact with the wisdom of the old leaders sharpens your own insight and intuition. Then you have to apply that intuition to the information you have and work hard to be successful.” Mystic meditation helped reverse a business slide his companies experienced in the mid-1980. Operating with normal business procedures, he lost more than $ 3 millions in that year alone. Meditation brought back his peace of mind. Putting the right persons, in the right jobs and gaining confidence in his business decisions were the keys to a turnaround that has brought expansion and profitability. The mysticism in Hadisiko' s boardroom is part of a growing movement in Indonesia called Kebatinan--the “search for the inner self.”One of his managers, Yusuf Soemado, who studied business administration at Harvard University, compared the idea of mystic management to the Western system of positive thinking. “Willpower and subconscious mind are recognized as important factors in business. Such approaches as psycho-cybernetics, Carnegie' s think and growth rates, or the power of positive thinking are Western attempts to tap the same higher intelligence that we contact through meditation,” he said.第 56 题 What is the most important factor in Indonesians' doing business?A. Mysticism.B. Religion.C. Meditation.D. Investment.

    When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn (挣) enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.
    It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way.
    Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits (界限) to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

    What kind of person does the writer seem to be?

    A. She is mainly interested in making money.
    B. She thinks running a business a different job.
    C. She seems to be successful but unhappy.

  • 第7题:

    资料:Western business visitors are often deadline-driven and unwilling to slow down to the Chinese pace when discussing business. But in China the pace can be fast and slow simultaneously.
    Another different approach to doing business is that in a buying decision Westerners tend to look for clear alternatives, while Easterners may examine ways to combine both option. For example, a Chinese panel may feel that a supplier who claims of best quality with a low price may either raise the price during the contract or fail to implement the contract. They will therefore often prefer to choose a supplier whose price is neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. In addition, a Chinese panel may avoid awarding each supplier more than one contract, in order to minimise dependence on a single supplier. Such an approach may make a Westerner think that a Chinese negotiator is being illogical, evasive or devious, when he believes he is being quite straightforward.
    What's more, both Chinese and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. The objective of developing close relationships is to build what the Chinese call guanxi (pronounced gwan shee). which are essentially social or business connections based on mutual interest and benefit. In a centralised and bureaucratic state, reliance on personal contacts is often seen as the only way to get things done. And in a place like China where the legal system is still relatively weak, the need to rely on guanxi remains strong.
    Both China and foreign companies will often attribute their business success to having good guanxi. But the obligations of guanxi are very real. In the wrong place, at an inappropriate time, with unsuitable people, the obligations can become a trap it is hard to escape.

    Questions 116-120 refer to the following passage.
    Cross-cultural Communication in Business Negotiations
    Business Weekly by Dr. Rod Steiner November 2006
    The importance of effective cross-cultural communication during business conferences or ne-gotiations is often unappreciated. And yet it is not just the immediate outcome of the negotiation which is at stake but also the possibility of a positive, ongoing business relationship.
    Here's a simple example:"don't mix business and pleasure," we say, thinking ourselves to be efficient and"virtuous". But trying to negotiate with that attitude in some other cultures may well cause consternation in your host. This in turn will result in cross-cultural irritation and may well put future relationships under a cloud. So, the first rule should be to study the culture of the people with whom you are going to negotiate.
    Dr. Rod Steiner, assistant lecturer, Department of Business Studies, South Australian Institute of Technology.
    South Australian Institute of Technology
    Department of Business Studies
    44 Berwick St,
    Adelaide, Australia 5066
    November 24,2006
    Dear Dr. Steiner,
    I read your article "Cross-cultural Communication in Business Negotiations" with a great deal of interest. I am a postgraduate language/business student at the University of Adelaide, and I have also had some experience living and studying in Japan.
    You are absolutely right when you highlight possible"cross-cultural irritation". In our cul-ture, we would never associate business transactions of any type with drinking alcohol and going to nightclubs. However, that's more or less the normal way of doing things in Japan.
    I hope to specialize in this area of study -- I mean, in cross-cultural communication – and that's why I have chosen also to study some foreign languages. If you have any suggestions for fur-ther reading, could you please let me know?
    Thanks for your attention.
    Julie Luddon
    What does the article suggest?

    A.To take a course in international business relationships at the institute
    B.Always to be alert of hints that can damage an ongoing business relationship
    C.Not to mix business and pleasure when dealing with any culture
    D.To know the culture of your business counterpart

    答案:D
    解析:
    文章的核心思想是,在商务谈判合作中,了解对方的文化习俗很重要,答案是D。
