Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension （30%）

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the material carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. The Need for Meetings and Exhibitions

A meeting is generally defined as a gathering of people in one place, to confer or carry out a particular activity. A variety of factors serve to increase the demand for meetings. One of them is the need for communication at personalized(个人的) level and the opportunity for individual to

exchange ideas and views. In contrast, printed and electronic(电子的) information, even with developments in video conferencing, cannot vie with(与...竞争) this personal contact. The importance of a meeting does not lie merely in what the keynoters said. The total atmosphere of the event and the subsequent(随后的) stimulation also add to the significance of a meeting.

The huge and rising growth in meeting business does not help to gain profits alone. Other goals can be achieved through group participation. They are education, strategic planning, team building, problem solving, training, reorganization, sales promotion and new product introduction, for which the attendees share the information.

Compared with meetings, established exhibitions usually generate operating profits both for the hall providers and organizers of the events.

In its broadest sense, an exhibition is a display, show or demonstration of something of beauty, value or particular interest to a target audience. Exhibits may be on permanent(长期的) display or brought together temporarily(临时地) for a particular event. Commercial exhibitions can be categorized(归类) as:

● trade shows and fairs, which bring sellers and buyers of products, goods and services together in particular industrial sectors;

● consumer shows or fairs, which are open to the general pubic;

● mixed trade-consumer shows or fairs, which admit the public on certain days only;

●private exhibitions, in which individual companies or agencies organize their own exhibitions to demonstrate their products to a selected or invited audience.

● product launches(发布,推出), which are to introduce new goods and services and may be featured in a trade fair, private exhibition or both.

Exhibitions provide an opportunity for sellers to explain and demonstrate their products and services directly to potential buyers gathered in one place, and are a cost-effective way of launching new products, penetrating new markets, reinforcing existing customer interest and maintaining or increasing market shares.

26. _________is one of the most important factors to increase the demand for meetings. A. Printed and electronic information B. What the keynoter said C. Video conferencing D. Personal contact
