195. Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business
immediately. Even the busiest government officials always take extra time to be
polite and offer refreshments. No matter how busy you are, you should make time
for this hospitality. The conference visit is a way of doing business throughout
the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the
presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your
business. Do not be surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by
people who come into the room unannounced, whisper, or speak softly to the
person with whom you are talking, and leave. Act as though you do not hear, and
never show displeasure at being interrupted. When an Arab says “yes”, he may
mean “maybe”. When he says “maybe”, he probably means “no”, you will seldom get
a direct “no” from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of “no”,
he will say “inshallah”, which means, “if God is willing”. On the other hand,
‘‘yes” does not necessarily mean “yes”. A smile and a slow nod might seem like
an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it
impolite to disagree with a guest. [共5题]

192. Advice given by human resources officers in large foreign companies can
help you find a satisfying job. Here are some useful suggestions. Don’t start
writing your resume before your graduation. From the first day you enter the
university, you have begun writing it. Plan to put your four years to full use
so that at graduation your resume will be full of valuable experiences and
remarkable academic results. Never apply to a company or for a job blindly. Find
out where your interests lie and what your advantages are. Decide first what
road you want to take for the rest of your life. Choose a company and a job that
fits you well. Don’t feel inferior to boys if you are a girl job-hunter. Except
for some physical work, girls are as capable as boys. Girls even have lots of
advantages over boys. For instance, girls are stronger in social communication.
They are innately skilled to express themselves effectively and to show

and usually have better command of foreign languages. [共5题]
