 Millions of people around the world cook their food over a smoky fire every day.It is often difficult to find wood for the fire.People who do not have wood must spend large amounts of money on cooking fuel.However, there is a much easier way to cook food using energy from the sun. Solar cookers, or ovens, have been used for centuries.A Swiss scientist made the first solar oven in 1767.Today, people are using solar cookers in many countries around the world.People use solar ovens to cook food and to heat drinking water to kill bacteria and other harmful organisms. There are three kinds of solar ovens.The f  irst is a box cooker.It is designed with a special wall that shines or reflects sunlight into the box.Heat gets trapped under a piece of glass or plastic covering t  he top of the cooker.A box oven is effective for slow cooking of large amounts of food.The second kind of solar oven is a panel cooker.It includes several flat walls, or panels, that directly reflect the sun's light onto the food.The food is inside a separate co  ntainer of plastic or glass that traps heat energy.People can build panel cookers with very few supplies quickly.They do not cost much.In Kenya, for example, panel cookers are being manufactured for just two dollars. The third kind of solar oven is a parabolic (抛物线的) cooker.It has rounded walls that aim sunlight directly into the bottom of the oven.Food cooks quickly  in parabolic ovens.However, these cookers are hard to make.They must be reaimed often to follow the sun.Parabolic cookers can also cause burns and eye injuries if they are not used correctly. You can make solar ovens from boxes or heavy paper  .They will not catch fire.Paper burns at two hundred thirtytwo degrees Celsius.A solar cooker never gets that hot.Solar ovens cook food at low temperatures over long periods of time.This permits people to leave food to cook while they do other things. |

| Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures.They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions-mistaken ideas. One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one's own culture's way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures.It's ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business.To avoid ethnocentrism, it's necessary to study the different elements(组成部分) of culture: language, values and attitudes,and customs and manners. Language A knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways.First, people can communicate directly.Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language.Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly.Finally, knowing  the language helps people to understand the culture better.Values and Attitudes Values are people's basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad.An attitude is a way of thinking or acting.Values and attitudes influence international business.For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it. Custom  s and MannersCustoms are common social practices.Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad(色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after.It's not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table.Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products.Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn't sell well because the French don't usually drink juice with breakfast. |
