There are 10 blanks in the following passage(s). For each blank there are five choices marked A, B, C, D and E. Choose the ONE that best fits into the passage(s). Cars are an important 36 of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And 37 if a person is poor he doesn’t feel really poor when he has a car.
There are three main reasons the car became so 38 in the United States. First of all the country is a huge one and Americans like to move 39 in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. 40 a car people can go any place without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never developed 41 and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been 42 common in the United States as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is 43 expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don’t like to wait 44 a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don’t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule 45 time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A: The passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Decide on the choice that best answers the question.
Passage 1
Cultural differences in business entertaining include issues such as who one entertains and where and how one entertains. In countries in which status is important, it is not advisable to invite people of different statuses to the same dinner party. Americans will often invite people to their homes. Whereas in some societies the home is considered too private, unworthy or small to serve as an appropriate place for business entertaining. In some countries there is a “help
yourself” approach to entertaining done in the home. This approach does not work well when entertaining people whose culture teaches them to wait to be asked three times before accepting an offer of food. In one instance, a Chinese guest went an entire evening without eating though he was quite hungry because he was too embarrassed to take food after only being asked to do so once.
Gift giving has its own set of protocols. As a general rule, a small gift from your home country is appreciated. A gift that is tied to the particular interest of the individual is especially appreciated. Gifts for children are also well received. Be careful that the “hometown” gift you are bringing to Singapore was not made in Hong Kong. Because many gifts carry symbolic meanings, it is always best to seek advice before selecting gifts. The giving of large gifts, or payments for special services, should only be undertaken after consulting the legal department in the home and host culture.
