The purpose of this book is to help business professionals or students prepare for an assignment in Germany. We surfed the web, looked through the literature and talked to a number of foreign professionals working in Germany. After lots of brainstorming, we developed a list of practical rules to help business professionals negotiate at a business meeting. Our advice is also designed to help you avoid uncomfortable situations and handle predictable and unpredictable situations at all social levels in German business. Correct conduct with German colleagues and customers, how to master negotiations, the correct tone in emails and letters and table manners are just some of the topics that can prepare you for a successful trip to Germany.
  This book is divided into three sections. The first section contains ten main behavior tips. The second section will provide you with a few guidelines on applying for a job in Germany, and the last few chapters contain tips on the more confusing aspects of German business culture, such as carrying out negotiations, networking and dealing with conflicts.
  Because these tips can be helpful for both Germans and foreigners, we have written the book in both German and English. As a foreigner, you should take advantage of the dual(双重的) language aspect of the book, and refer to the dictionary to help you understand key terms. Finally, remember that cultural differences might seem difficult at first, but they are also what attract us to foreign cultures and essentially make doing business in foreign countries challenging and interesting.

On May 3, 2002, archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.

His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge and therefore he was called the “king of Stonehenge”.

Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.

 He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.

 26. Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man'?

A. some chicken and grains.                   

B. A copper knife and two gold earrings.

C. Two pots, arrows and materials to make arrows.

27. The man buried in the grave might be _________ at that time.

28. Why is the man buried in the grave called the "king of Stonehenge" ?

    A. He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.

    B. He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.

    C. He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.

    D. All of the above.

 29. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

    A. How Stonehenge was built.                  B. Building Stonehenge was hard.

    C. Stonehenge was made of big stones.           D. It is a mystery how Stonehenge was built.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. 
　Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation ,our long-term goals cannot amount to very much without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. 
  The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. 
　Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 
31.Our long-term goals mean a lot__________. 
　 A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals       B. if we complete our short-range goals
　 C. if we put forward some plans                D. if we write down the dates
32.New short-term goals are build upon__________. 
　 A. the goals that have been completed           B. two years 
　 C. current activities                         D. long-term goals
33.When we complete each step of our goals ,__________. 
   A. we will win final success                  B. we are overwhelmed 
　 C. we will build up confidence of success       D. we have strong desire for setting new goals 
34.Once our goals are drawn up,_________. 
　 A. we will have success. 
　 B. we have made great decision 
　 C. we had better wait for the exciting news of success 
　 D. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunities 

35.The underlined word “static” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean_________.

A. moving          B. developing          C. unchanging        D. uninteresting
