Question

四.阅读理解
These are some points which are particularly important to remember when we are doing business with Japanese.First of a1l,age is a very important factor.Japanese managers,for instance,are much older than American managers,so many American managers fail in doing business with the Japanese by sending men far too young to conduct business negotiations in Japan with their Japanese counterparts,who could be their fathers!It is quite an insult to the Japanese.
The next point to be remembered is the use of business cards.The business card is not simple piece of paper in Japan.Every business encounter starts with the exchange of business cards.The business card represents the person himself.You should receive it and study it with great care,when it is given to you.The first thing you should do as soon as you've arrived in Japan is to have 200 business cards printed for yourself.
The last point I want to draw your attention to is about business meetings or negotiations.First of all,don't talk too much.Japan's culture is essentially a non-verbal one.And don’t expect the Japanese businessmen to answer you with a clear "yes" or "no".It often takes a long time to make a decision,or to arrive at a solution.

C C D A A
1.counterpart合作伙伴
4.And don’t expect the Japanese businessmen to answer you with a clear "yes" or "no".It often takes a long time to make a decision,or to arrive at a solution.（文中最后一句）意思：不要期望日本商人能以明确的是或否来回答你.他们总是要话费很长的时间来做出决定或者寻找解决办法.综述A,B,C,D四个意思只有A对.
5.A解释文化差异
B.给美国商人提供意见
C.评论美国人做生意的失败
D.分析与日本人做生意的难题
C,D文中好像没有这个意思,B呢也只是第一段打了一下比方,所以我觉得排除法来看的话还是A比较合适一些.
