How would some Eastern Asians start their conversation when they meet for the first time according to the passage?
American visitors to Eastern Asia are often surprised and puzzled by how Asian cultures and customs differ from those in the United States. 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 in these countries, 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 are 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 public places. Americans visiting Asia should keep in mind that such behavior may cause offense. A major difference between Americans culture and most Asian cultures is that in Asia, me community is more important than the individual. Most Americans are considered a success when they make a name for themselves.
选项
A、Argue fiercely.
B、Express his opinion frankly.
C、Yell loudly.
D、Refrain from showing his feelings.
答案
D
解析
细节题。文中介绍说亚洲人的特点是一般不在公开表露自己的情感,在公共场合表达愤怒,大声呼喊和争吵都是有悖日本文化礼仪的,通常他们的做法是克制住自己的情感,非常礼貌的表达自己的观点,且避免进行直接的批评。题干问的是日本人生气时会怎么做,首先排除A、C;B“坦率的表达自己的见解”,乍看很有道理,但原文说他们往往把不同的意见保留,避免造成直接对立,也应排除。只有D为正确答案。
