题文
Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest
government official always takes extra（额外的）time to be polite and offer refreshments. No matter
how busy you are, you should make time for this.
The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have
to discuss your business in the presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with
your business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come into
the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the person with whom you are talking, and leave.
Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is vagueness in doing business in the Middle
East which will puzzle a new-comer. Give yourself lots of time and ask them lots of 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. Instead of "no", he
will say "inshallah", which means "if God is willing." On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean
"yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An

【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
