decided that there were fourteen points that we would like to (2) . While not all
fourteen were crucial to us, if we could win them it would provide a particularly satisfactory
outcome for our client.
The negotiation was undertaken at our client% offices. When the subeontractor's staff
arrived we (3) them warmly, and once they were comfortably settled in we said:
'Your proposal is excellent, we are delighted with it. But there are forty one points that we
have to (4) if we are to reach agreement. Would you like to write them down?'
People are delightful. (5) you give them a chance to behave like Parlor's

Paper 4 Reading Comprehension (25 points)
Passage 1 (15 points)
Read the following text and answer questions 1--5.
You may have heard that doing business on the Internet is in some way 'insecure'.
Don't let that put you off if you stop to think about it, your everyday business dealings
aren't exactly without hazard. If you fret about 'Internet security' you might be better off
visualizing an American-style mall, full of outlets, the majority of which you have never
visited. Should you do business there? Of course you should. Remember, it's just like doing
business in the local high street. Anyone can look into your shop window and enter your
shop after all, that's what you want them to do, isn't it?
Perhaps you are worrying about losing customers through credit card fraud. With a little
care, you really needn't be. Credit card fraud existed long before the Internet arrived. If
your customer provides their credit card details over the Internet then in some sense you are
already trusted as a business, although you do, of course, need to protect your customer
against an ilbintentioned third party. So advise your customer to keep a record of what he or
she has ordered and for how much.
allows rivals to get at your computers and your information. Well, in one sense, this is the
whole point of linking your business to the Internet: you want people to get at your
computers and all the information they contain. However, just because I invite members of
the public to enter my shop, I needn't give them permission to enter my head office. A
security guard stops unwanted visitors from getting in -- and it's just the same in
cyberspaee. I don't connect our internal network to the Internet, I use a firewall that works
just like my security guard except it doesn't have a day off.
restaurant or pub. Display your products with abandon on the World Wide Web. Of course,
you should exercise caution when dealing with sensitive information on things like credit
cards, but you've got more to lose by not taking advantage of 'electronic commerce' than by
being on it.
Answer the following questions according to the information provided in the passage.
