• 1．Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship．Before you start a discussion，however，make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos（禁忌）in a particular culture．Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history，art，and customs．They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children．Yon may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends．The French think of conversation as an art form，and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements．For them，arguments can be interesting-and they can cover pretty much or any topic-as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent（智慧的）manner．
     In the United States，business people like to discuss a wide range of topics，including opinions about work，family，hobbies，and politics．In Japan，China，and Korea，however，people are much more private．They do not share much about their thoughts，feelings，or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious（和諧的）business relationship they're trying to build．Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters．It is considered rude，for example，to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children．
     As general rule，it's best not to talk about politics or religion（宗教）with your business friends．This can get you into trouble，even in the United States ，where people hold different views．In addition，discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable．Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world，although be careful not to criticize a national sport．Instead，be friendly and praise your host's team．

• 2．Some of the very earliest poems were not written down．These poems were not lyrics describing scenes of emotions．Instead，they were long narratives about war and courage．They told stories of daring deeds and heroes．These poems are known as epics．
     The tellers of epics wished for their listeners to hear exciting tales．But they also wished for them to appreciate the bravery of their ancestors．Many epics have to do with the early history of a people．One epic，Virgil's Aeneid（敘事詩），for example，tells the story of the founding of Rome．
     Epics are usually based on the adventures of a hero．This individual often saves his people from monsters or gods who hate them．He may travel great distances or fight in terrible battles．People would learn about how brave the hero was．So they would develop pride in their tribe or nationality．They learned how people in their tribe were expected to act．
     Usually there is some kernel of truth in a tale of an epic hero．But here is also a lot of exaggeration（夸張）．These stories were told and retold．As time passed，the heroes got braver and did more．
     There are many famous epic poems．Two by the Greek poet Homer are the Iliad and the Odyssey．The Iliad is a story of the Trojan War．In it the Greek hero Achilles helps to defeat the Trojans．The Odyssey recounts（敘述）Odysseus's adventures as he tried for 20 years to sail back home from the Trojan War．Beowulf relates the story of how the early English hero Beowulf killed a monster．El Cid is about the battles of the national hero of Spain．

• 3．Like China，Britain had a golden age of poetry-but it came a thousand years after the time of Li Bai and Du Fu．It was a time of revolution and new ideas in Europe．The English Romantic poets，as they are now known，were very interested in what was happening in the rest of the continent．
     But the romantic poets were more interested in the individual，and in the power of the imagination than they were in politics．They produced wonderful images to express human emotions and to paint pictures of the natural world．They also got inspiration from the myths（神話）of past ages，especially the Greek myths，and from their own experiences of love．
     Typically，the Romantic poets lived hard and died young．Byron was the most famous of them；he traveled a lot and shocked people with his wild behavior．Another Romantic poet，Coleridge，was probably a drug addict，and the strange journeys of his mind were reflected in his poems．Wordsworth was the only one who live to an old age．As he grew older he became less interested in political ideas．He went to live in the Lake District，in the north of England，where he wrote the poem I wandered lonely as a cloud．
     The most brilliant of the Romantics was probably Keats．Although he studied as a doctor，poetry was his great love．But when he was just 24，he became very ill．He knew he was going to die ，and went to Italy to spend his last months in a more pleasant climate．His friends，Shelley，（whose wife，Mary，wrote Frankenstein），went to Italy to meet him and say goodbye，but he arrived too late．Shelley himself did not live much longer．He drowned in a boating accident off the west coast of Italy the next year．In his pocket he had a book of Keats' poems．
  
  （1）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？

  
  A．English poetry
  B．Romantic poets
  C．Some English poets
  D．The golden age of English poetry
  （2）As we can see from the passage，Keats

  ．
  A．studied science
  B．was very clever
  C．died at his early age
  D．drowned in a boating accident
  （3）About the romantic poets，which of the following is NOT true？

  
  A．They were interested in the individual．
  B．They liked to paint pictures about natural world．
  C．They often got inspiration from the Greek myths．
  D．They were more interested in what was happening in the rest of the continent．
