Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of traditional ink pens, was the man turning the ballpoint pen into an item that today almost
anyone can afford Bich was shocked at the poor quality of the
ballpoint pens that were available, and also at their high cost
However, he recognised that the ballpoint was a firmly established invention, and he decided to design a cheap pen that worked well and would be commercially successful
Bich went to the Biro brothers and asked them if he could use the design of their original invention in one of his own pens In return, he offered to pay them every time he sold a pen Then, for two years, Bich studied the detailed construction of every ballpoint pen that was being sold, often working with a microscope
By 1950, he was ready to introduce his new wonder: a plastic pen with a clear barrel that wrote smoothly, did not leak and only cost
a few cents He called it the 'Bic Cristal' The ballpoint pen had finally
become a practical writing instrument The public liked it
immediately, and today it is as common as the pencil In Britain, they are still called Biros, and many Bic models also say 'Biro' on the side
of the pen, to remind people of their original inventors
Bich became extremely wealthy thanks to his invention, which
had worldwide appeal Over the next 60 years his company, Société Bic, opened factories all over the world and expanded its range of inexpensive products Today, Bic is as famous for its lighters and razors as it is for its pens, and you can even buy a Bic mobile phone

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
If you’ve done any traveling at all, you’re likely quite aware that
customs and etiquette differ from one culture to another: what may be
perfectly innocuous in one place may be hideously offensive in
another, and vice-versa Granted, even if you haven’t traveled at all, you’re probably aware of the fact that certain types of behavior aren’t exactly acceptable in other countries: belching at the table may be a sign of gratitude in some places, but in most areas of North America and Europe, such a display will earn you a fair bit of ire Whether you
Trang 7plan on traveling to any of the places listed below or just doing
business with a foreign client, it’s important to educate yourself on the standards of politesse and etiquette beforehand-the last thing you want
to do is offend someone with any ignorant, boorish behavior Here’s how to be polite in different countries
When dealing with Japanese clients, be sure to dress fairly
conservatively, and make sure that you bow lower than they do upon meeting them Accept gifts with both hands and open them later, not
in front of the giver, and never blow your nose at the dining table Avoid asking and answering direct questions: it’s better to imply
rather than ask, and to answer with vagueness during conversations
In Kenya, when greeting someone older or of a higher status than
yourself, grip their right wrist with your left hand while shaking it; it’s
a sign of respect and deference Do ask questions about their health, family, business etc before getting to major topics, as skipping these niceties is seen as impolite If sharing meals, do not begin eating until the eldest male has been served and starts to eat
Turning down an alcoholic drink is considered terribly offensive in
Russia, so it’s a good idea to fortify yourself with some greasy food
before heading out for a meal with Russian or Ukrainian clients Don’t smile at strangers or they’ll think you’re deranged, and when paying for items, place your money on the counter rather than trying to hand
it directly to the cashier
