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、To be confident in stating their views.
B、To disregard other people’s views.
C、To disregard their own achievements.
D、To be selfish and greedy.
答案
A
解析
选项中的be confident in stating…views,disregard,selfish等表明,本题考查某些人的特点或行为方式。对话中男士说Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners,assertive 意为“过分自信的”,其后的例子也说明了这一点,故答案为A)。
