• 1．China is the biggest market in the world，and many countries such as Germany，the USA，the UK and Russia do a lot of business in China．Let's have a look at some important tips to help you be successful when dealing with these nationalities．
     First，you must be punctual （准时的） with Germans．Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression．Being punctual is also very important in the USA．In the UK，it's important to be punctual for business meetings，but nobody expects you to be on time for a social event．Half past seven really means a quarter to eight，or even eight o'clock!With Russians，you should always be on time，though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!
     It is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries．In Russia，designer clothes are very common．Don't be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans．Many companies have "dress down Friday"，when people wear casual （随便的） clothes．
     In Germany，first names are only used by family members and close friends，so be prepared to use titles and last names．In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately．The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common，especially among younger people．In Russia，however，nobody uses first names，so use titles and last names．
     In conversation，the British and the Americans value humour，and both like to talk about sport．The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British and the Americans，but avoid talking about politics．In Russia，say positive（肯定的） things about their country，but avoid making complaints．The Germans，however，prefer to get straight down to business!
     So，use these tips，and you will be on your way to a successful international business career!
  
  （1）Which color should you NOT wear when meeting a person from the USA？

  
  A．Dark blue．

• 2．As a boy，Charles Robert Darwin（达尔文） collected anything that caught his interest：insects，coins and interesting stones．He was not very clever，but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him．
     His father was a doctor，so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine，and was planned to follow a medical career．But Charles found the lectures boring．Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest．While at Cambridge，Darwin's interest in zoology and geography grew．Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship，the Beagle．He wanted a naturalist to join the ship，and Darwin was recommended（推荐）．That voyage was the start of Darwin's great life．
     As the Beagle sailed around the world，Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth．He began to observe everything．After he was home，he set to work，getting his collection in order．His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received，but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life．
     Later Darwin and Wallace，another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin，produced a paper together．Darwin's great book"On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection"（《物种起源》） appeared．It attracted a storm．People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys．What a shameful idea!Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right，the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work．
     Afterwards，he published another great work，The Descent of Man．His health grew worse，but he still worked．"When I have to give up observation，I shall die，"he said．He was still working on 17，April，1882．He was dead two days later．
  
  （1）Darwin's father sent him to Edinburgh to

  ．

  ．
  A．his study at Cambridge University

• 3．Last summer，as part of my high school graduation project，I volunteered at Saunders House nursing home．I choose this experience because it was something that I had never done before and I wanted to lend a helping hand．At first it was challenging because I was extremely shy．My goal in volunteering was to bring a smile to the residents（住客） by doing different activities from word games to playing chess．I feel as if I had accomplished that goal．
     At the nursing home，I did a lot of different activities with the residents ranging from Jeopardy to Wheel of Fortune．One of my favorites was a word game where I would write a ten -letter word on the board and the residents would try to come up with as many smaller words as possible．I could tell that it was one of their favorite games because they always seemed to be so enthusiastic when they played．I also transported residents to and from their rooms when they needed help；and whenever it was a nice day out，I would take them outside to get some fresh air and relax．On Saturday mornings，I would deliver the newspaper to the residents and on Sundays，I assisted with morning church services．
     The most unforgettable part of this experience was when I had one-on-one conversations with the residents．It was incredible how many great stories they had to tell．Their stories were so interesting and the experience was unforgettable for me．
