16、 overseasthey come in contact with people frOm different culturesThese individuals often speak different languages and have their own particular custom and mannersThese differences can create problemsFor example，in France， business meetings begin promptly at the designated time and everyone is expec
17、ted to be thereForeign business people who are tardy are often left outside to be kept waiting as a means of letting them know the importance of promptnessUnless one is aware of such unexpected behaviorshe may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations. A second trad
18、itional problem is that of monetary conversions. For example, if a transaction is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles. Of course, this currency is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore, necessary to convert the foreign currency to American dollars. How much are thes
19、e Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars? This conversion rate is determined by every market, where the currencies of countries are bought and sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it will often fluctuate from day to day. For example, the ruble may be worth 0.75 on Monday and 0.72 on T
20、uesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia. In addition, there is the dilemma associated with converting at 0.72. Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week. As a result, conversion may finally come at 0
21、.69. These losses must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas. A third unique problem is trade barriers. For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For
22、 example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained. Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict imports. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs. 23、What is the relationship between
23、culture and international trade? ACultures in different countries may help establishing trade relations. BCompanies can do business overseas without paying attention to different cultures CMisunderstanding in international trade may result from different cultures.24、What is done to tardy business pe
24、ople in France? AThey are often left outdoors waiting. BThey are often insulted. CThey often suffer from coldness.25、According to the passage, conversion rates Aare determined by financial institutions. Bvary from day to day.
