Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty
years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in
Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.
Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder⁴ the foreign businessman and make
doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.
The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does not
wait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually⁵ after giving them a great deal of thought.
Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty⁶ in understanding is when a Japanese means⁷ "Yes" or "No". This is because
of cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly⁸.
In English, it is easy to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say "No". To
refuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase⁹, is felt to be impolite¹⁰. It is thought to be selfish(自私)
and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying "No". These
enable¹¹ them to avoid hurting other people s feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult
for foreigners to understand and follow.

A. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in Japan
B. Japan is a very important country for businessmen
C. business contacts between Japan and the West are important
D. Japanese businessmen do business all around the world
53. The word "bewilder" in paragraph 2 probably means _________.
A. tire B. interest C. puzzle D. surprise
54. From the passage we can know that _____________.
A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japanese ones
B. American businessmen like to say "Yes" and "No"
C. Americans usually say what they are thinking
D. Americans do not express themselves clearly
55. The passage tells us that ________.

Sunday September 15
Fine
Today I went to the Fu&Nan Rivers as a young volunteer to clean the place. Early in the morning we started by bike. As soon
as we got there, we began to work. First we collected the rubbish on the river bank. Then we put up notices to tell people
to protect the environment. We kept on telling the visitors the importance of protecting the environment. Having cleaned
the river bank we said goodbye to the workers and went home. Though I was tired, I felt happy.
