M: Raghda Shaheen, who works for the Dubai International Finance Centre, recently completed a four-week business and legal fellowship program at Wharton and the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Shaheen will spend the next three months working at the Chicago Chamber of Commerce before returning. She spoke with Knowledge@ Wharton about her experiences in Gaza City, Canada, the U. S. and the Middle East. Raghda, thanks for joining us.
W: Thank you for having me.
M: Can you start off by telling us a little bit about yourself? Where were you born, educated and where have you worked so far?
W: Sure.(1-1)I am an Arabic girl, born in Kuwait to Palestinian parents. So I am Palestinian. I lived in Kuwait for seven years and then moved to Palestine.(1-2)I grew up in Gaza City, and moved to Toronto, Canada, in 2001.I received a bachelor’s degree in engineering. I worked there for a couple of years and then moved to Dubai in 2008 and that’s where I live right now.
M: What are you doing there?
W: (2)I’m a business and process consultant at Dubai International Financial Centre.
M: Why did you decide to come to the program at Wharton and Penn Law?
W: I always find exchange programs are fascinating because it’s my opportunity to break some stereotypes.
M: What kinds of stereotypes are you talking about?
W: (3)On both sides. I’m talking about the stereotypes of both Americans and Arabs regarding business behaviors, the people, the culture...
M: So what would you think is a typical American image of an Arab woman and how is that image right or wrong?
W: (4-1)They still have the image that Arab women may not be educated, that they’re suppressed, that they can’t work, that they don’t speak, that they are not cosmopolitan. So I try with my fellows here to break that stereotype.(4-2)We tell them that Arabs in general, not just women, usually speak two languages at a minimum. We speak English as a second language in my country.
M: Is it unusual for Arab women who are educated and have work experience like you to come to the States and take courses here and bring that knowledge back to home countries?
W: (5)I would say it depends. It depends on the family and it depends on the occasion. It depends on the family level of education and the country, the culture and the tradition.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. Which of the following statements is CORRECT about Shaheen?
2. What is Raghda Shaheen’s occupation?
3. What can we learn about Shaheen’s life experience?

长期以来,科学与艺术之间的关系一直是剃头担子一头热:科学热恋着艺术,艺术却拒科学于千里之外。许多大科学家一生钟爱艺术,且懂艺术,从中汲取养料,善养浩然之气,或得到人生最大安慰。相反,热爱自然科学并且理解工程技术的文学艺术家真可谓凤毛麟角。
