Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries — like the UK or France — people find it easier to build up a lasting work relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
20. What is the purpose of the speaker’s mentioning her experience in Thailand?
21. How can people from different cultures understand each other better according to the passage?
22. What would be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、By accepting different habits.
B、By recognizing different values.
C、By sharing different ways of life.
D、By speaking each other’s languages.
答案
B
解析
选项均以“By+现在分词”开头表明,本题考查方式方法。短文前面一直都在说文化和价值观的差异,最后说话者给出建议:if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other, 即只有了解不同的价值观,才能更好地相互学习,故答案为B)。if虚拟条件句为常考点。
