问题     The increase in international business and in foreign
investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of
foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.
Americans, however, have not been well trained in neither area and, 【M1】______
moreover, have not enjoyed the same level of success in 【M2】______
negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign
counterparts.
    Negotiating is the process of communicating back and fourth 【M3】______
for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion
and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the
negotiators must understand the ways which people are persuaded 【M4】______
and how compromise is reached within the culture of the
negotiation.
    In many international business negotiations aboard, 【M5】______
Americans are perceived as wealthy and personal. It often appears 【M6】______
to the foreign negotiator that the American represents to a large 【M7】______
multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price
without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role
becomes that of an impersonal purveyor of information and cash.
    In study of American negotiators abroad, several traits have 【M8】______
been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical
perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits
in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are
directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator.
However, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term 【M9】______
goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the
relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to
invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the
relationship, they may opt of indirect interactions without regard 【M10】______
for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.
【M5】
