问题     Personal relationships are very important. They are the key of             【S1】______
doing business in Arab countries. Try to identify the decision-maker
regarding as your product or service immediately and get to know him           【S2】______
on a friendly basis. Do your homework. Be prepared to discuss details
of your product or proposal. Be ready to answer technical question.            【S3】______
    Familiarize yourself to the Moslem and national holidays. Avoid a          【S4】______
visit during Ramadan, the Moslem month of fasting. Most Arab countries
have a six-day workweek from Saturday through Thursday. When matching
with the Monday to Friday practice in most Western                             【S5】______
countries, it leaves only three and a half workdays shared. Remember
this in planning your appointments. Moslems do not eat pork. Some are
strict about the religion’s prohibition for alcoholic beverages. If            【S6】______
you are not sure, wait your host to suggest the proper thing to drink.         【S7】______
    When an Arab says yes, he may mean "maybe". When he says maybe, he
probably mean "no". You will seldom get a direct "yes"                         【S8】______
from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Also, he does not want
to close his options. Instead of "no", he will say "inshallah", which
means "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessary         【S9】______
mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in
fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to agree        【S10】______
with a guest.
【S8】

选项

答案yes→no

解析 yes→no语篇错误。从上文maybe probably means no我们可以看出阿拉伯人说no时很委婉,不可能因为直接说了yes就让人觉得不礼貌;而且从上下文继续可以找到线索,都是在解释阿拉伯人的委婉。on the other hand后面才是说明yes的含义。
