Many people dread going on foreign assignments — sometimes even before they’ve gone on one. They hear stories about how exhausting and disorienting business travel can be. They worry about getting sick, getting lonely, or getting killed. They’re afraid they won’t be liked or that they won’t succeed. But the fact is that for many people a foreign assignment can be the opportunity and thrill of a lifetime.
The Wall Street Journal reports the story of John Aliberti, who had spent his career working to become a midlevel manager for Union Switch in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Aliberti seemed like an odd choice for an overseas assignment; He had no experience in international travel and business. But when he was chosen to represent the company as technical expert and representative in China, Aliberti responded with enthusiasm; "Back home, the work we do, it’s been done for decades. In China you’re breaking new ground. It’s a milestone in the history of the world. "
By viewing his China assignment as an exciting adventure, Aliberti largely bypassed the negative effects of culture shock. According to the Well Street Journal, "The crowds and chaotic lines don’t faze him. He becomes animated telling stories of long train trips to out-of-the-way cities like Nanchang, where Union Switch is helping to build a railroad yard..."
Alibert’s enthusiastic attitude and his active interest in learning about the culture and business practices in China have helped him become a central figure in his company’s China operations. His job in Pittsburgh is two rungs below vice president. In China, according to his boss, " He acts like a president or CEO. That’s got to turn him on. " [br] The story of John Aliberti tells us that______.
选项
A、culture shock is easy to deal with.
B、many people dread going on business.
C、the transportation of China is confused to foreigners.
D、you can deal with culture shock well with an active interest in learning about the culture.
答案
D
解析
信息推断题。文章开篇提及很多人因为担心各种问题而惧怕在国外工作,首段末句指出但对于很多人来说,国外的工作也可以是生活中的机会和刺激。之后作者选取Aliberti的例子进行了说明。D选项中提及只要有积极的兴趣学习异国文化就能应对文化冲击,与文章内容一致,故答案为D。
