Urbanization--migration away from the suburbs to the city center --will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015， according to a new report． The report says America s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry， as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development making cities like New York and San Francisco so successful． As smaller cities copy the model of these 24-hour cities， more affordable versions of these places will be created． The report refers to this as the coming of the 18-hour city and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston， Austin Charlotte， and Nashville， which are "positioning themselves as highly competitive， in terms of livability， employment offerings， and recreational and cultural facilities．" Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America's largest population group， Millennials （千禧一代）， will continue to put off buying a house． Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials， haunted by what happened to home-owning parents． This trend will continue into the 2020s， the report projects． After that， survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents' footsteps， moving to the suburbs to raise families， or will choose to remain in the city center． Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America's failing infrastructure． Most roads， bridges， transit， water systems， the electric grid， and anications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago， and they are largely taken for granted until they fail． The report's writers state that America's failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market， but also our ability to remain globally competitive． Apart from the specific trends highlighted above， which cause some investors to worry， the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate "upcycle" and improving economy． Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a "good to excellent "expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015． While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns， resulting in a real- estate "bubble， "the report's writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred．（1）According to the new report， real estate development in 2015 will witness ____ ．A． an accelerating speedB． a shift to city centersC． a new focus on small citiesD． an ever-increasing demand（2）What characterizes "24-hour cities" like New York？ ____ A． People can live without private cars．B． People are generally more competitive．C． People can enjoy services around the clock．D． People are in harmony with the environment．（3）Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house？ ____ A． They can only afford small apartments．B． The house prices are currently too high．C． Their parents' bad experience still haunts them．D． They feel attached to the suburban environment．（4）What might hinder real estate development in the U．S．？ ____ A． The continuing economic recession in the country．B． The lack of confidence on the part of investors．C． The fierce global competition．D． The worsening infrastructure．（5）How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U．S． real-estate market in 2015？ ____ A． Pessimistic．B． Hopeful．C． Cautious．D． Uncertain．

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
