19、选项。AInformal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture. Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, ar

20、t, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends. The French think of conversation as an art form, and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreement

21、s. For them, arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies, and politics. In Japan, Chi

22、na, and Korea, however, people are much more private. They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings, or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship theyre trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and

23、 family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.As a general rule, its best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends. This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different

Criticizing the sports of your colleagues country.B The common cold is the worlds most widespread illness， which is plagues（病疫） that flesh receives. The

28、 most widespread fallacy（谬误） of all is that colds caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact，directly or indirectly， with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds， it would be reasonable to expect the Es

29、kimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes. During the First World War soldiers who spe

30、nt long periods in the trenches（战壕）， cold and wet，showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp（奥斯维辛集中营），naked and starving，were astonished to find that they seldom had colds. At the Common Cold Research Unit in England，

31、volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time.
