Section C
Arabs consider it (15) extremely bad manner to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official or (16)executive always takes (17) extra time to be polite and offer (18)refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time for this (19) hospitality. Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a (20)vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which will puzzle a (21)newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions.
Patience is an important (22)quality. You may have to wait two or three days to see high level government officials as they are very busy. Give yourself enough time.
Personal relationships are very important. They are the key to do business in Arab countries. (23)Try to identify the decision maker regarding your product or services immediately and get to know him on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical questions.
When an Arab says yes, he may mean “maybe”. When he says maybe, he probably means “no”. You will seldom get a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want to close his options. Instead of “no”, he will say “inshalah” which means, “if God is willing”. (24)On the other hand, “yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.
Section D
And now for the Monday Morning weather report. Right now the skies over the Chicago area are sunny and clear. We are expecting warm dry weather to continue throughout the day with temperatures in the middle to upper 80’s.Winds will continue to be slightly variable as high as ten miles per hour. We are going to have fair weather continuing over the next couple of days so that means clear and somewhat cooler weather tonight. Tomorrow will be sunny again and quite warm. No precipitation is expected for at least three or four days.
Questions 25 to 27 are based on the passage you’ve just heard:
25.Who is the speaker?
26.What will the daytime weather probably be like on Tuesday morning?
27.What’s the long range forecast for the next few days?
There is a strange area in the Atlantic Ocean called the Bermuda Triangle. People have been fascinated by the Bermuda Triangle for years, because of the mysterious disappearance of many ships and planes in the area. There is hardly any agreement about the cause of these disappearance, in fact, it is difficult to find any agreement about the boundaries of the area. Whereas most people argue that the triangle’s northern most point is Bermuda, its western most point is Florida, and its eastern point is the coast of Africa, a few researchers prefer the northern point to be in the Boston area.
Questions 28 to 30 are based on the passage you’ve just heard:
28.On what do most people agree?
29.What did the speaker say have been lost in the Bermuda Triangle?
30.Where is the Bermuda Triangle?
Two bombs exploded in Algeria Tuesday as a European Union team met with government leaders to discuss the wave of civilian massacres. One bomb went off at a bus center in the center of the capital of Algiers, killing one person, and an hour later, another bomb blew up in the coastal town of Annaba, killing 3 others. The Alge rians agreed to allow European Union deputy foreign ministers into discuss the situation but again, turned down any UN investigation.
Questions 31 to 34 are based on the passage you’ve just heard:
31.What happened in Algeria Tuesday?
32.Where did the first bomb go off?
33.How many people were killed in the two bombings?
34.What did the Algerians reject?
