问题     Business visits tend to be extremely punctual. If you arrive
late to a business appointment, it will reflect badly on you. So try
to arrive on time, or even if a little early. (1)______
    If you know that you will be arriving late, you should
telephone ahead to let them know of the delay. If a business
meeting takes place over a meal, expect the business discussions
to begin after everyone has ordered their meal, sometimes as soon
as everyone is seating. (2)______
    Socializing tends to occur after the business is concluded,
not before. This is in contrast with the practice in many other
countries, where the purpose of the meal is to socialize with and
get to know each other after any business is discussed. Many (3) ______
American companies have men in management positions. So (4)______
don’t be surprised if the person who meets you is a woman, not
a man. They are just as competent as their male counterparts.
If you feel uncomfortable, focusing on the business at hand (5)______
and ignore the fact what she happens to be a woman. Do not, (6)______
however, ask personal questions like you might with a male (7)______
colleague. In particular, do not ask whether she is married or
has children. When businessmen or businesswomen meet, they
usually introduce themselves on shaking right hands. When you (8)______
shake hands, don’t crush their fingers, neither hold their hand so (9)
lightly. A firm handshake is best. Business cards are not normally
exchanged with meeting. If you need a colleague’s contact (10)
information, it is okay to ask them for their cards. It is also okay
to offer someone your card. But there is not an elaborate ritual of
exchanging cards as in other cultures.
选项
答案focusing—focus
解析 根据and后面的ignore the fact可以判断focusing应该与ignore是并列关系，应将focusing改为focus。本句的主句是一个并列祈使句。at hand的原意是“在附近的，即将到来的”，此处意为“现在的，眼前的”。
