▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 11 − 15 題 In recent years, many companies have expanded globally. 11 this globalization trend, more and more employees are working abroad in managerial positions or as part of a multicultural team. Although it is common nowadays for staff to work abroad to gain experience, many people have difficulty 12 to a new culture. Statistically, the failure rate in US multinationals is 13 to be as high as 30 %. One of the examples concerns a German manager of IBM who took up a position as product manager in England. He found that at lunchtime, many members of staff went to the pub. He stopped them right away and said, “ It is not good for efficiency. There is no way we would do that in Germany.” The German manager’s mistake was that he hadn’t 14 the cultural differences. IBM had a firm rule about drinking during working hours. But, he didn’t understand that staff in other countries might be more flexible in applying the rule. When managers work in foreign countries, they may find it difficult to understand the behavior of their employees. 15 , they may find that the techniques which worked at home are not effective in their new workplace. Hence, it becomes important for them to develop cross-cultural awareness in the international workplace.

▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 16 − 20 題 Whenever there is a war or natural disaster somewhere in the world, different societies of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement often show up to give aid. The movement began in 1859 when a Swiss businessman named Henry Dunant witnessed the Battle of Solferino in Italy. During this fight, nearly 40,000 people were killed or injured. Dunant was horrified by what he saw. Instead of conducting the business he had planned, he took it upon himself to aid wounded soldiers. After this experience, Dunant wrote a book entitled A Memory of Solferino. He sent copies of this book to political and military leaders in Europe. He also started up a relief organization for wounded soldiers, and urged countries to sign treaties regarding the care of wounded soldiers. Along with this, he wanted medics on the battlefield and field hospitals to be considered neutral. In order for opposing sides to identify medics during battles, the international sign of a red cross on a white background would be used. By 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross was formed, and medics first used the white and red armbands during a battle in Denmark. In 1868, the first Red Crescent was formed in Turkey, and medics used this symbol in a battle during the Ottoman-Russian War. Today, the Red Cross and the Red Crescent are known worldwide.

▲ 閱讀下文，回答第 21 − 25 題 Almost 5,000 years ago, Egypt became a powerful nation in the ancient world. For more than 2,000 years, leaders called pharaohs ruled this country. Pharaohs were treated like gods. People believed that pharaohs could control the weather and how the crops grew. Pharaohs built enormous tombs, or pyramids, which were as big as palaces. To build a pyramid, thousands of workers spent years of cutting, dragging, and stacking huge blocks of stone. Pharaohs believed they could take precious objects with them to another life after they died. The ancient Egyptians lived along the great Nile River. They depended on its water for drinking, washing, and growing crops. The river was their main means of transportation. It was also the home of fish and many other animals, such as the hippopotamus. Along the banks of the Nile grew a reed called papyrus. The Egyptians used it to make boats, fishing nets, paper, and many other things. All ancient Egyptians were a part of a social class. Most people were peasants. They grew crops, such as figs, dates, and pomegranates. They also worked on buildings, such as temples. Except for slaves, peasants belonged to the lowest class. Ranked above them were craftsmen. Higher up were scribes. Because they could read and write, scribes often had a lot of power. In the highest class were people who ran the government and temples, or who were in charge of different regions of Egypt. Not surprisingly, many of these were members of the pharaoh’s family. The ancient Egyptians were expert farmers. They had hoes for loosening the earth and plows for turning it over. Women were able to own property, but they did not have positions of power. They often did jobs, such as grinding grain, baking bread, and spinning flax.

閱讀下文，回答第 26−30 題 Before babies learn to talk and have no idea of dance, they express happiness through simple rhythmic movements or what we later recognize as simple dances. However, humans are not the only species that can dance. There are birds that actually have group dances: circling, bowing, advancing, and retreating in unison. Some species could learn rhythm from the birds! For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals. Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes. Dance as therapy has a long history. Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy. Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power. It was used for a wide variety of purposes and on different occasions: religious ceremonies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, today many “advanced” industrial societies have lost many original functions of dance. Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy. But, the “ primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.
