Cities Guide—ShanghaiBusiness hoursBusiness hours in Shanghai are very much those you woul

Cities Guide—Shanghai

Business hours

Business hours in Shanghai are very much those you would find in the West. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-5/6 p.m.(some close for an hour at lunchtime). Some offices also maintain limited Saturday hours. Banks follow similar hours.

Department stores typically open every day, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Chinese restaurants tend to open and close early(11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. and 5-9:30 p.m.), and international restaurants stay open latch Note that dinner in China is usually eaten early, from 5:30 p.m.

Eating and drinking

Most business entertaining is done over lunch, though a high-profile business deal may be celebrated by a large evening meal in a private room of a restaurant. Unless specifically invited, spouses typically stay at home. The Western custom of after-work drinks is rare, though there is a growing trend for business colleagues to meet for coffee.

Try to master chopsticks before you arrive in Shanghai. Chinese food is eaten informally, with everyone serving them selves from several main dishes on a central turntable.

In all but the swankiest(漂亮,时髦的) restaurants, messiness is perfectly acceptable. People will happily slurp their soup, toss chicken bones around their plates and spill soy sauce everywhere.

Frequent toasts are not unusual. Mao Tai, a fiery 60-70 proof liquor distilled from sorghum, is what you'll typically drink. If you can't keep up, join in the toast with beer or else a soft drink.

Drinking a lot(and even drunkenness) may earn you respect or trust, since many Chinese believe that alcohol causes harriers to come down and true intentions to be revealed.

You may be invited to eat at someone's home. Always bring a gift(fruit or flowers), and remember to take your shoes off at the threshold.

Getting around

Public transport

If you plan to be in Shanghai for more than a few days, buy a Shanghai Public Transport Card(jiao tong ka), available in any metro station for 30 yuan(refundable when you return it at any metro station). Once you have one, you can put funds on it to use for taxis, the metro, light rail buses and the passenger ferry across the river.

Buses

Buses are crowded, smelly, hard to understand if you don't read Chinese characters, but extraordinarily cheap. Most inner-city buses charge 1-2 yuan, no matter how far you're traveling within the city. Tickets on long-distance buses range between 1-6 yuan.

Taxis

Taxis in Shanghai axe good value. You will pay 10 yuan for the first two kin, and then 2 yuan per km. The city has about 50,000 taxis. The only time you'll have trouble finding one is when it's raining. Most taxi drivers do not speak English, so have someone jot down your destination in Chinese characters and take a business card from your hotel with you so that you can find your way back.

Tipping is not customary. Try to avoid hailing a cab at 9:30 a.m. or 4:30 p.m., when drivers swap shifts.

Metro

Shanghai's metro is swift and cheap(2 -6 yuan), but has only three main lines. The government has plans for eight more by 2010; Until then, you could end having to walk some distance. The metro is a good way to cross the river during rush hour, when traffic clogs the bridges and the tunnel.

When traveling you can just swipe your public transport card over the card-recognition keypads. Otherwise, you will need to tell the assistant at one of the ticketing counters what price zone you are traveling in and he or she will give you a one-trip ticket.

Communications

Telephone codes

Country code: 86

Area code: (0)21

All Chinese area codes begin with a zero, which is dropped when calling China fro

听力原文:M: Hi, Annie. You must be pretty excited about your trip to South Korea. When are
you leaving?

W: In three weeks. And I am really excited. You know, I have always been dreaming about it. But there are still a few things left to do before I go.

M: Like what?

W: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I am gone.

M: Are you going to give it up?

W: No. It's not easy to find such an apartment around here. But I don't like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment either.

M: Perhaps you could sublet it.

W: Yes, but to whom?

M: Mm let me think. Oh, I know just the person. My sister's friend, Angela, has been invited to our university as a visiting scholar for about that long. She will be arriving in about three or four weeks.

W: That's great. I'll call the landlord to ask for permission.

M: And I'll mention it to my sister this evening.

Passage Three:Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.On June 17, 1744, the
officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day the refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if your ideas of this kind of education happen not t be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods… they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send up a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.

第31题:The passage is about ________.

A) the talk between the Indians and the officials

B) the colleges of northern provinces

C) the educational values of the Indians

D) the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century
