17、enterprise“ spelled wrongly. Interprise is an EU agency that encourages cross-border business cooperation. It is like a “dating agency“ that tries to match people who are looking for love. Interprise helps business to find partners in other countries to join in trading or distribution arrangements.
18、The agencys task is to set up face-to-face meetings with business counterparts from other countries. This is how it works. The agency gets a request from a company, known as the “ host company“(like a person who hosts a party), to help it find overseas companies. The host company creates a theme, th
19、at is, to say exactly what it wants. The Agency then helps it to team up with more host companies from at least two other EU regions who are looking for similar partners.

20、nterested in partnerships with the host companies.

The average trade fair is like window-shopping: firms set out their goods, and visitors look around to see if theres anything they want. With Interprise, everything is careful
23、ly arranged in advance. Foreign companies want a full programme of meetings and with the right people. It is too early to say if Interprise is a success, but comments from both host companies and visitors have been very positive, “Ive a pocketful of business cards and have made several useful contac
24、ts.“ “ Great. We have met some firms that are really interested in becoming distributors. “ Of course, they might have made useful contacts at an ordinary trade fair, except that it would have been only by chance. 23 What is Interprise? （ A） another word for enterprise （ B） a dating agency （ C） a wa
