W: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important.
M: I couldn’t agree with you more. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts.
W: You’re right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf.
M: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don’t stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment.
W: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don’t put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet, but this is only momentary.
M: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the case in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What do Americans tend to do?
24. Why do Americans care about personal space?
25. What do Americans think of eye contact?
选项
A、They can be turned off by body odor.
B、They are taller and stronger.
C、They are slow in becoming intimate.
D、They believe the relationship is not intimate enough.
答案
D
解析
选项中的turned off by body odor,not intimate enough表明,本题可能考查They站得远的原因。对话中男士提到Americans are more guarded about personal space,接着说明原因:closeness lends a sense of intimacy(离得近表明是一种亲密关系),由此推断在意个人空间是因为关系并不是很亲密,故答案为D)。
