A variety of factors serve to increase the demand for meetings. One of them is the need for communication at personalized(个⼈的) level and the opportunity for individual to exchange ideas and views. In contrast, printed and electronic(电⼦的) information, even with developments in video conferencing, cannot vie with(与...竞争) this personal contact. The importance of a meeting does not lie merely in what the keynoters said. The total atmosphere of the event and the subsequent(随后的) stimulation also add to the significance of a meeting.The huge and rising growth in meeting business does not help to gain profits alone. Other goals can be achieved through group participation. They are education, strategic planning, team building, problem solving, training, reorganization, sales promotion and new product introduction, for which the attendees share the information.Compared with meetings, established exhibitions usually generate operating profits both for the hall providers and organizers of the events.In its broadest sense, an exhibition is a display, show or demonstration of something of beauty, value or particular interest to a target audience. Exhibits may be on permanent(长期的) display or brought together temporarily(临时地) for a particular event. Commercial exhibitions can be categorized(归类) as:●trade shows and fairs, which bring sellers and buyers of products, goods and servicestogether in particular industrial sectors;●consumer shows or fairs, which are open to the general pubic;● mixed trade-consumer shows or fairs, which admit the public on certain days only;●private exhibitions, in which individual companies or agencies organize their ownexhibitions to demonstrate their products to a selected or invited audience.● product launches(发布,推出), which are to introduce new goods and services and may befeatured in a trade fair, private exhibition or both.Exhibitions provide an opportunity for sellers to explain and demonstrate their products and services directly to potential buyers gathered in one place, and are a cost-effective way of launching new products, penetrating new markets, reinforcing existing customer interest and maintaining or increasing market shares.练习题（1）26. _________is one of the most important factors to increase the demand for meetings.A.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 31 to 35练习题（1）With Christmas just around the corner, greeting cards are starting to appear in shops. But this year, paper cards are being left out in the cold as electronic (电⼦的) Christmas tidings become more popular. Last year, a top-grade Christmas card could sell for 35 Yuan, but now people won’t even pay 15. As the Internet increasingly goes into our daily life, online living is becoming fashionable among teenagers and e-greetings are becoming more and more popular. The major consumers of greeting cards in China are young people. They are always quick to accept the new lifestyles, so it’s natural for them to favor e-cards over traditional paper cards.Not only are e-cards new and attractive, but also quick and efficient. Young people used to send each other paper cards at Christmas. But the problem is what to do with them all after that? Now they can save e-cards onto a disk (磁盘) and easily open and enjoy them at any moment. The Internet offers a wide variety of choices. Many Internet content providers---such as Yahoo, Sina and Sohu---provide e-greeting services. Many of these sites are free of charge, but an increasing number are introducing a small fee for their services.31. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.

Christmas cardsB. greeting cardsC. internet sitesD. shopsTask 3Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 36 to 40The West has begun to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work re-assessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some famous historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static (静态的) society under a relatively kind ruling of scholars contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been练习题（1）making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?36. So far, how many volumes of the book have been published?A. Five. C. Three.B. Four. D. None.37.
