Known to the Aggie community simply as Bonfire, the annual autumn event symbolized Aggie students burning desires”. The bonfire was traditionally lit around Thanksgiving in connection with festivities surrounding the annual college football game.Although early Bonfires were little more than piles of trash, as time passed, the annual event became more organized. Over the years the bonfire grew bigger, setting the world record in 1969. Bonfire remained a university tradition for decades until, in 1999, a collapse during construction killed twelve peopleeleven students and one former studentand injured twenty-sevenothers.The accident led Texas A&M to declare a pause on an official Bonfire.

In countries where status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. However, in some societies the home is considered too personal, unworthy, or too small to serve as a proper place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help yourself” method of entertaining done in the home. This method does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. For example, a Chinese guest went hungry all the evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too shy to take food after only being asked to do so once. In another case, an American woman executive(负责人) was being entertained in London. After having the tea served, the American woman helped herself to cream and sugar rather than waiting to be served. The English hostess was upset by the thought that she was not serving quickly enough.As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is OK. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the person is especially good. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore is not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek the advice of a cultural information before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special service, should only be carried out after talking with legal department in the home and host culture. 68. It is no good inviting people of different social positions to the same party in the country where _.A. people dont pay any attention to your positionsB. people care much about their statusesC. entertainment is importantD. entertainment is not advisable69.

A big gift B. Large payment as a gift C. A small gift from ones home D. A gift form Singapore参考答案：BDAC略
