Passage One
Almost two-thirds of overseas students studying in the UK have few or no British friends, according to a survey among 5,000 overseas students, Britain’s Guardian newspaper reported last week.
The survey was carried out by the British Council, the council for international education, and Universities UK, an organization supporting the work of all the country’s universities.
The survey revealed only 7 percent of the students said most of their friends were from the UK; 32 percent said they had a mixture of UK and international student friends; and 59 percent said their only friends were international.
Some student leaders say one reason fox’ the trend is that overseas students are dedicate to their courses instead of their social lives.
In addition, many foreign students weren’t interested in the pub-centered drinking culture on British campuses, according to Will MacFarlane, student union general secretary of the London School of Economies. This prevented some students who didn’t pay regular trips to pubs from making new friends.
Some students think that MacFarlane’s explanation is true.
"I have only one year to adapt to the new all-English environment and dealing with a full study workload. The time is so limited that I have little time to make friends with foreign students." Said one Peking University grad student who is at Oxford University.
She also admitted that an important reason for the lack of interaction is that Chinese students are usually shy, and don’t take the initiative to make new friends.
MacFarlane also came forward with some suggestions on how to improve the situation. "It may be helpful if we can provide a cultural shift in university activities away from the drinking culture, and provide more activities for more groups," he said.
A:Most overseas students spent much more time studying. B:British students don't like to communicate with overseas students. C:Overseas students are used to the pub-centered drinking culture. D:British students should make friends with overseas students.

Questions from 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: As overseas sales and profits as a percentage of total sales and profits increase, there is likely to be more headquarters’ attention paid to foreign operations. Similarly, there will be pressures to centralize control in order to deal with the growing number of global competitors and the more homogenized(同质的) needs of global consumers. The need for centralization will present more challenges for MNEs in controlling their global operations. One challenge involves management’s position in foreign facilities, where manager may see the erosion of their autonomy over marketing, production, and financial decisions. To keep those managers motivated, the company needs to include more nationalities on boards of directors and use cross-national management teams to develop practices that are globally rather than nationally oriented. But with such cross-national fertilization comes the risk of clashes between cultural traditions. A second challenge for MNEs is a consequence of their size. A number of them already have sales larger than many countries’ GDPs. To manage such organizations may require even greater decentralization and more horizontal communication among subsidiaries in different countries that are mutually dependent on parts, products, and resources. This mutual dependence among subsidiaries may in turn require new hierarchical relationships within the organizational structure.
The better a company’s overseas performance is, the more necessary for the company to（）.A:centralize its overseas control B:control its global operations C:guard against its competitors D:present more challenges to itself
