答案                Ways of Dealing with Cultural Differences
   Different cultures have their own rules of behavior. People from different cultural backgrounds may have very different beliefs, religions, customs and habits. Ignorance of cultural differences often leads to misunderstanding, offense, or embarrassment in cross-cultural communication. Instead, we need to develop a cross-cultural perspective. Here are two basic ways to help deal with cultural differences:
   First of all, we must bear in mind that all cultures are equal, no matter how different some cultures may seem from our own. Having a respect for other cultures is an effective way to promote international communication, since understanding can only be reached if we are willing to treat people from other cultures as equals. Second, we can avoid unintentionally offending others by learning basic characteristics of other cultures. It is a good policy to ask foreign friends or business associates about their everyday customs and let them know our customs as well.
   As China opens up to the outside world, more and more people are involved in international business transactions or cultural exchanges in various areas. It is important that we improve our awareness of cultural differences so as to prepare ourselves for successful cross-cultural communication.
