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 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.
30. What is the purpose of the speaker’s mentioning her experience in Thailand?
31. How can people from different cultures understand each other better according to the passage?
32. What would be the best title for the passage?
选项
A、Cross-cultural Differences
B、Multicultural Environment
C、How to Understand Each Other
D、How to Build up a Relationship
答案
A
解析
选项中的实词首字母均大写表明,本题考查短文标题。短文主要讲述的是文化和价值观的不同,而[B](多文化的环境)、[C](如何互相理解)和[D](如何建立关系)只是对短文部分内容的孤立理解,故答案为[A](跨文化差异)。
