26、he needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not be
27、ing met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 66 (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for
28、 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for less than half of the male population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.” Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them
29、, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 66beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.56. What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A. T
30、o provide better services. B. To rebuild hotels and restaurants. C. To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D. To attract more people to become its members.57. Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?A. 72. B. 7 C. 66 D. 6358. What may happen to re
31、staurants with small tables?A. They may lose some customers. B. They may start businesses elsewhere.C. They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D. They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.59. What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A. Tall people pay more for
32、larger beds. B. 66beds have taken the place of 63beds.C. Special rooms are kept for Americans. D. Guest rooms are standardized.BThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, Dear John, I am
33、quite pleased that you have decided to join us. That quite saddened me. I thought he was saying were kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else. Then I discovered that in American English quite sometimes means very, while in British English it means fairly.So th
34、e first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I dont just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures(文化)Some of these differences may be
35、only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate(气候),while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People ar
36、e more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时)If you invite people to a party at 7 oclock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, f
37、ive minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word late because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing
38、 to do in their own country.60. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought_ A. the American bank didnt think much of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. its difficult to get used to American culture D. its easy to misunderstand Americans61The word highlig
39、hts in Paragraph 2 probably means_. A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to62. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help.B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way.D. Do in-depth research.63.
40、 When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are_.A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the BritishC It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted f
41、or women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Mens clothes tend to button from the right, and womens from the left. Considering most of the worlds population-men and women-are right-handed, the mens standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why
42、 do womens clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Button first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having womens shirts button from the left would be easier. On the o
43、ther hand, having mens shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for the
44、m. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all womens shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacture to offer womens shirts that buttoned the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing mens shirts.64. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?A. It has been followed
