I still well remember my middle school life in Zhengzhou. I was then in a school for student from Tibet. As we all left home of an early age, we met lots of problems in our daily life. We have to do the washing, cleaning and shopping by us. However, we seldom felt alone or helpless. We enjoyed our happy life. At weekends, we will play basketball on the playground, swimming in the pool or go for picnic in the park. We were living in a big family. We treated each other as brothers and sisters. Although it has been three years when we graduated, but those memories are as sweet as ever before.

Perhaps you have heard the expression “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, make marketing plans, and run your business by local laws.
1. The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language.
The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look at the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common.
Use first names only after being invited to. 2. The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name.
Dress well. 3. Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing makeup is practiced widely by businesswomen.
The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, a main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours. 4.
Do not begin eating until the host says “bon appetite”. Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate. 5. This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who makes an invitation always pays.
A. Remember to be as polite as possible.
B. This is a time for relationship building.
C. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname.
D. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food.
E. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance.
F. The French draw information about people based on their appearance.
G. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France.
Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. Success is a choice but not a chance. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem （自尊心）.Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. Thoughts and beliefs cause behavior. Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits rooted in us over a period of time. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success depends upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

A.Cause and Effect. B.No pain, no gain.

2.We can learn from the passage that _____.
A.You'll succeed as long as you develop your self-esteem
B.Proper control over yourself contributes to building self-esteem
C.Associating with negative people is likely to bring success

A.One's habits, attitudes and his actions.
