问题 Which is NOT a suggestion given on business travels abroad in the passage?
When travelling abroad on business, it is useful to prepare in advance and avoid pitfalls. Following there are several good tips that you might wish to consider.
        Show an interest in, and at least an elementary knowledge of the country you are visiting. Learn a few words of the language — it will be seen as a compliment. Be sensitive to countries who have bigger and better-known neighbors, and try not to confuse Canadians with Americans, New Zealanders with Australians, Belgians with French. Familiarize yourself with the basics of business and social etiquette. As a starting point, learning how to greet people is probably the most important to leave a good impression.
        Do not assume you won’t meet communication problems because you speak English. You may think that you are paying somebody a compliment by telling them their business is going like a bomb, Americans will infer you think it is failing. Do not appear too reserved. As Americans are generally more exuberant than their European colleagues, they may equate reserve with lack of enthusiasm.
        In Great Britain and the United States gift giving is not a very popular custom; people can spend their entire working lives without ever receiving a corporate gift. However, gift giving is sometimes an integral part of the negotiation process when doing business abroad such as Japan and China.

选项 A、Appear to be interested in the country you are visiting.
B、Get well informed of the basics of business and social etiquettes.
C、Improve your English so that you may avoid misunderstandings.
D、Figure out the custom of gift giving in business in the country.

答案C

解析 特定信息与事实细节的找寻与判断。原文全篇都在提供相关建议,四个选项分散在文章各个段落中。根究原文“Show an interest in … the country you are visiting”,可判断选项A正确。根据“Familiarize yourself with the basics of business and social etiquette”,可判断选项B正确。“In Great Britain and the United States gift giving …”,这一整段是对各国商务送礼传统的陈述,由此判断选项D,即了解相关国家商务送礼的传统,表述正确。“Do not assume you won’t meet communication problems because you speak English …”这一段说明,即使说英语,还是会存在交流上的问题,从后面的举例,特别是关于美国人和欧洲人对拘谨的不同态度可知,此处所指交流障碍并不是由简单的语言差异造成的,因此选项C所述,提高英语水平从而避免误解,不是本文所提出的意见。故本题应选择选项C。
