Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your correct
answer sheet to indicate the corect answer to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need
for executives with knowledge of foreign language and skills in cross-cultural communication.
Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not
enjoyed the same level in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign
counterparts.
Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of
reaching an agreement. Involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in
either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and
how compromise is reached within the culture of negotiation.
In many international negotiations business abroad, Americans are perceived as
wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that Americans represents
a large multimillion–dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining
further. The American negotiator’s role became that of and impersonal purveyor of
information and cash, the image that succeeds only in underming the negotiation.
In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may
serve to confirm that stereotypical perception, while subverting the negotiator’s position.
Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and
impatience on that part of Amarican negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often
insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the
relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for longterm benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions
without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.
Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiation and
the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international
business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural

understanding.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 33 to 45.
The invention of the incandescent light bulb by Thomas A. Edison in 1879 created a
demand for a cheap, readily available fuel with which to generate large amounts of electric
power. Coal seem to fit the bill, and it fueled the earliest power stations (which were set up
at the end of the nineteenth century by Edison himself). As more power plants were
constructed throughout the country, the reliance on coal increased. Since the first World War,
coal-fired power plants have accounted for about half of the electric produced in the United
States each year. In 1986 such plants had a combined generating capacity of 289,000
megawatts and consumed 83 percent of the nearly 900 million tons of coal mined in the
country that year. Given the uncertainty of the future growth of nuclear power and in the
supply of oil and natural gas, coal-fired power plants could well provide up to 70 percent of
the electric power in the United States by the end of the century.
Yet, inspite of the fact that coal has long been a source of electricity and may remain
one for many years (coal represents about 80 percent of the United States fossil-fuel
reserves), it has actually never been the most desirable fossil fuel for power plants. Coal
contain less energy per unit of weight than natural gas or oil; it is difficult to transport, and it
is associated with a host of environmental issues, among them acid rain. Since the late

1960’s problems of emission control and waste disposal have sharply reduced the appeal of
coal-fired power plants. The cost of ameliorating these environmental problems, along with

made such plants less attractive from purely economic perspective.
