　　Newspaper is not only the most common media in our daily life，but also the oldest technique in the field of message publication.It is very late to see the modern newspaper in China.Until the end of the 19th century，those newspapers published by the Chinese official agents or private expresses hadn't started to become more and more.The newspaper called “Stories inside and outside China” was first published by Weixin Faction，in 1895，the 21st year of Guangxu Era in Qing Dynasty.It is one of the most influential newspapers published by the Chinese at that time.

　　In the fact，the Chinese “Dibao” is the earliest and oldest newspaper in the world.In the West Han epoch，in order to strengthen the Royal power，the Han government carried out the “Jun xian zhi”．Every eparch should set up its office in the capital Chang'an，which has the same function as the provincial office in Beijing now.These offices were called “Di”s.Officers are selected by the eparchial government which they are responsible for，and sent to the “Di” to collecting the messages announced by the administrative agents or even the empire，then writing them on the bamboo placard，and deliver them to their shire leaders via the early post station for reading.So these placards with information were called “Dibao” s.

　　The continuous enforcement of central royal power in ancient China has also brought the development of “Dibao” into a_full_bloom.Although the name of “Dibao” had been changed for many times in the period from the Han，Tang，Song，Yuan，Ming，to Qing Dynasty，its publication has never been interrupted.In addition to it，its essence and contents hadn't been changed a lot.

　　Notes：

　　①eparch n．地方官　②placard n．布告　③shire n．郡

　　长短句分析：Officers are selected by the eparchial government which they are responsible for，and sent to the “Di” to collecting the messages announced by the administrative agents or even the empire，then writing them on the bamboo placard，and deliver them to their shire leaders via the early post station for reading.

　　句法点睛：本句中，“which they are responsible for”是修饰government的定语从句，“announced by the administrative agents or even the empire”为过去分词短语作定语。

　　句意：官员由他们负责的地方政府选拔，并被派往“地”去收集由行政机构甚至皇帝宣布的信息，然后写到竹制的布告上，再通过早期的投递站送给郡的领导阅读。

　　A giant pink rabbit has been created in

　　Visitors are encouraged by those who made it to climb all over the 200 ft toy sculpture and even sleep on it.

　　But the Austrian art group who created the bunny were amazed to find that it is so large that the rabbit can be seen from space via the Google Earth programme.

　　The pale­pink bunny lies flat on its back in the Italian Alps.It took more than five years to build the bunny and it is set to stay there until 2025.

　　It is made of soft，waterproof materials and filled with straw to make it comfortable to rest on.It was placed in a country spot called Artesina near Cuneo and attracts many visitors each year.

　　Behind a hill，as if knitted① by giant grandmothers，lies this vast rabbit，to make you feel as small as a daisy.

　　Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears，almost falling into its cavernous mouth，to the belly­top and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbit's body，ears and limbs reaching into the distance.

　　维B 任务型阅读

　　请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的单词空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个。

　　Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures.They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.

　　One cause of misconception is ethnocentrism(民族优越感)，the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures.It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business.To avoid ethnocentrism，it is necessary to study the different elements(组成部分)of culture：language，values and attitudes，and customs and manners.

　　●Language

　　A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways.First，people can communicate directly.Second，people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language.Third，an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly.Finally，knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.

　　●Values and attitudes

　　Values are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong，good and bad.An attitude is a way of thinking or acting.Values and attitudes influence international business.For example，many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries，and they buy a lot of it.

　　●Customs and manners

　　Customs are common social practices.Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite.For example，in the United States，it is the custom to have salad before the main course at dinner，not after.It's not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table.Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products.Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn't sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast.

　　【语篇解读】 民族优越感有时是国际贸易往来中的不利因素。如何避免呢？了解各国的文化及它们的组成因素是解决方法。

　　答案及解析：

　　1．practices　[捕捉信息题。根据文章第一段首句“Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures.”可知答案。]

　　2．important　[句式转化题。根据第一段最后一句“They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions－mistaken ideas.”可知他们已经意识到了避免商业决策建立在错误的观念之上的重要性。]

　　3．belief　[捕捉信息题。根据第二段首句“One cause of misconception is ethnocentrism(民族优越感)，the belief that one's own...”可知答案。]

　　4．failure　[捕捉信息题。根据第二段第二句“It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business.”可知答案。]

　　5．Language　[综合信息题。结合表格形式和右侧栏中的内容可知，这里应该是文化的三个组成之一，即Language。]

　　6．knowledge　[综合信息题。根据文章第三段首句，结合本框中的信息可知此处是讲掌握其他国家的语言带来的好处。have a knowledge of意为“了解、掌握”。]

　　7．communication　[捕捉信息题。根据文章第三段第二句“First，people can communicate directly.”可知答案。]

　　8．understanding　[句式转换题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Finally，knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.”可知答案。]

　　9．polite　[捕捉信息题。根据文章最后一段第二句“Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite.”可知答案。]

　　10．difficult　[句式转换题。根据文章最后一段第五句“Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products.”可知答案。]
