ent, it will reflect badly on you. So try to arrive on time, or even if a little early. 【M1】______ If you know that you will be arriving late, you should telephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If a business meeting takes place over a meal, expect the business discussions to begin after everyone has ordered their meal, sometimes as soon as everyone is seating. 【M2】______ Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded, not before.

What is the purpose of the e-mail？

A．To announce a discount on computers

B．To summarize a set of data

C．To promote a new type of a computer

D．To apologize for a late delivery

B: ______

A．Let"s give him another five minutes.

C．Don"t be in such a hurry. Remember: more haste, less speed.

D．I think he should call to tell us that he has decided not to come.

e to distort the truth about themselves. Sometimes its just an invented excuse when youre late for something or a pretence that you like someone you dont. These white lies dont usually harm anyone and indeed often help smooth over difficult social situations. They certainly are embarrassing if exposed but, on the whole, theyre easily forgiven. What you describe is a habit of lying that is more serious than this. I suspect that the lies you tell are ways of defending an idea you have of your own worth. People who have doubts about their own self-esteem often worry that others will judge them as harshly as they feel they deserve because of a secret idea that they are pretty worthless. In other words, they create a false picture of themselves, a picture of someone who meets all the expectations they think others have of them. And as you say, that causes problems—since they have to keep living up to that image. At the same time, they have to tell further lies to cover the stories they have already told. According to some authorities, this is particularly among women especially those who have few opportunities to develop an adequate sense of self-worth. I suggest you give yourself one day during which you stick solidly to the truth about yourself. Give yourself a small treat at the end of the day if you have managed to keep it up. Wait a week and then try it again. Once you have achieved three separate lie-free days, see if you can cope with three days running, and then extend it to a whole week. Dont make a promise to yourself that you will never lie again because almost certainly you will—its too much to take on at once. Try to change things little by little, by setting yourself manageable targets. After a while, youll wonder why you ever had the problem at all.

A．glowing up with

根据下列文章,请回答 36～40 题。 Is the Tie a Necessity？

Ties, or neckties, ha ve been asymbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries. But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them. Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties. So, are the fa mously formal British really going to abandon the neckties？

Maybe. Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed Atieless era . He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.

In fact, Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to acocktail party. Many of them were celebrities (知名人士) without ties, which would ha ve been unima ginable even in the recent past.

Men were supposed to wear Atie when going to church, to work in the office, to aparty - almost every social occasion.

Frenchmen showed alove of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear (颈饰) impressed Charles II, the king of England who was exiled (流放) to France at that time.When he returned to England in "1660, he brought this new fashion item along with him.

It wasn't, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually beca me known as the tie. Then, clubs, military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 19th century. After that, the tie beca me anecessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.

But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties. Anyway, the day leers abit easier when you wake up without ha ving to decide which tie suits you and your mood.

第6题：The tie symbolizes all of the following except

A．respect.

B．elegance.
