American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. What’s considered typical or proper social conduct in one country may be regarded as odd, improper or even rude in the other. For example, people from some Eastern Asian countries may begin a conversation with a stranger by asking personal questions about family, home or work. Such questions are thought to be friendly, whereas they might be considered offensive in the United States. On the other hand, people in most Asian cultures are far more guarded about expressing their feelings publicly than most Americans are. Openly displaying annoyance or anger, yelling, arguing loudly and so forth is considered ill-mannered in countries such as Japan. Many Eastern Asians prefer to hold their emotions in check and instead express themselves with great politeness. They try not to be blunt and avoid making direct criticisms. In fact, they often keep their differences of opinion to themselves and merely smile and remain silent rather than engage in a confrontation. By comparison, Americans are often frank about displaying both positive and negative emotions on the street and in other places.
Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense. A major difference between Americans culture and most Eastern Asian cultures is that in Eastern Asia, the community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
23. How would some Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time?
24. What would a Japanese do when he feels annoyed?
25. What is encouraged in American culture according to the passage?
选项
A、Refrain from showing his feelings.
B、Express his opinion frankly.
C、Argue fiercely.
D、Yell loudly.
答案
A
解析
细节题。在东亚国家,比如日本,人们认为明显地表露自己的情绪是不礼貌的。当他们生气时,他们会掩藏情绪。
