After lsing an imprtant deal in India, a business negtiatr learned that her cunterpart （对方） felt as if she had been rushing thrugh the talks. The business negtiatr thught she was being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views n hw t cnduct negtiatins, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful utcme.
Research shws that deal-making acrss cultures tends t lead t wrse utcmes as cmpared with negtiatins cnducted within the same culture. As we knw, cultures are characterized by different behavirs, cmmunicatin styles and nrms（准则). Cnsequently, when negtiating acrss cultures, we bring different views t the bargaining table, which in turn may result in ptential misunderstandings that can lead t a lwer likelihd f discvering value-creating slutins.
Cultural cnflict in negtiatins is linked with the fact that we, at mst times, interpret thers ’ behavirs, values, and beliefs thrugh the lens（透镜） f ur wn culture. T vercme this, it is imprtant t research the custms and behavirs f different cultures as well as understand why peple fllw these custms and exhibit these behavirs in the first place.
Just as imprtant, nt nly d cuntries have unique cultures, but teams d t. Befre partaking in any negtiatin, take the time t study the cntext and the persn n the ther side f the bargaining table, including the varius cultures t which he belngs, whether the culture f engineering r his particular cmpany’s culture. The mre yu knw abut the client, the better ff yu’ll d in any negtiatin.
Therefre, the negtiatr has learned her Indian cunterpart will appreciate a slwer pace with mre pprtunities fr relatinship building. She seems t have run int the issue: Using time efficiently in the curse f negtiatins is generally valued in the United States, but in India, there’s ften a greater fcus n building relatinships early in the prcess. By ding research n the clients ’ cultures, they can adjust their negtiatin methd and give themselves a better chance f creating a valuable negtiatin experience fr bth themselves and their cunterpart.
28. What led t the wman’s failure in negtiatin with her Indian cunterpart?
A. Lack f preparatin fr time management.
B. The cultural gap between cunterparts.
C. Her inefficient ability t cmmunicate.
D. Cnflicts f interest in business strategies.
29. Accrding t the research, why d crss-cultural negtiatins ften have wrse utcmes?
A. They require mre time t reach agreements.
B. Cultural cnflicts increase financial csts.
C. Negtiatrs tend t avid direct cmmunicatin.
D. Cultural misunderstandings are t blame.
30. What des the authr mainly want t say in Paragraph 4?
A. Meeting culture shck is fairly cmmn.
B. Peple shuld respect cultural differences.
C. Culture research is vital befre negtiating.
D. Crss-culture cnflicts result frm ignrance.
31. What is the functin f the last paragraph?
A. T draw a regrettable cnclusin.
B. T summarize the mentined negtiatin case.
C. T share a distinctive pinin n the case.
D. T prpse an efficient negtiatin methd.

Many peple cunt n faster, cheaper and better technlgy t ffer a visin f a brighter future. Nevertheless, as the 2020s dawn, ptimism is in shrt supply. The new technlgies that dminated the past decade seem t be making matters wrse. Scial media, intended t cnnect peple, are infamus fr privacy leaks. Cnvenient E-cmmerce and nline ride-hailing are charged with underpaying wrkers and blcking the streets with vehicles.
Tday’s pessimistic md targets smart phnes and scial media, which tk ff a decade ag. Yet cncerns that particular technlgies might be ding mre harm than gd have arisen befre. The 1920s witnessed a criticism f cars, nce regarded as slutins t hrse-drawn vehicles issues like nise, waste, and accidents. And industrializatin was criticized in the 19th century by Rmantics wh wrried abut the replacement f skilled wrkers, the rbbing f the cuntryside and the suffering f factry hands.
Hwever, that pessimism can be verdne. T ften peple fcus n the drawbacks f a new technlgy while taking its benefits fr granted. Wrries abut screen time shuld be weighed against the much mre substantial benefits f instant cmmunicatin and infrmatin access that smartphnes make pssible. A further danger is that Luddites ’（卢德分子） effrts t avid the shrt-term csts assciated with a new technlgy will end up denying access t its lng-term benefits—smething Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxfrd academic, calls a "technlgy trap". Fears that rbts will steal peple’s jbs may discurage their use. Yet in the lng run cuntries that wish t maintain their living standard as their wrkfrce ages and decreases will need mre rbts, nt fewer.
Any pwerful technlgy can be used fr gd r ill. It is the chices peple make abut it that shape the wrld. Perhaps the real surce f anxiety is nt technlgy itself, but grwing dubts abut the ability f scieties t hld this debate, and cme up with gd answers. S as the decade turns, put aside the pessimism fr a mment. T be alive in the tech-fascinated 2020s is t be amng the luckiest peple wh have ever lived.
32. Accrding t paragraph 1, which may be a prblem caused by new technlgies?
A. Identity theft. B. Netwrk viruses.
C. Netwrk addictin. D. A trll r cyberbully.
33. What is the criticism f cars in the 1920s mentined in rder t demnstrate?
A. Every technlgical advancement faces initial rejectin.
B. Past technlgies are mre harmful than mdern nes.
C. Current technlgical pessimism has existed fr s lng.
D. Envirnmental cncerns always drive technlgical debates.
34. What might be a result f a “technlgy trap” ?
A. An interruptin t the technlgy advancement.
B. An instant access t infrmatin and entertainment.
C. A lack f gd emplyment in the jb market.
D. A decrease in the number f underpaid wrkers.
35. Which is the best title f the passage?
A. Technlgy Optimism vs. Pessimism: Neither Can Win.
B. Beynd Technlgical Pessimism: Sciety’s Chices Matter.
C. The Technlgy Trap: An Unavidable Dilemma.
D. The Duble-Edged Swrd f Innvatin: Never Use It.
