Developing cross-cultural awareness usually goes along with learning a new language and being exposed to a new culture: such   1  reveals both cultural similarities and differences. And sometimes it is the   2  between cultures that surprise us   3  the differences. Cross-cultural awareness is the ability to   4  cultures – your own culture and others   5  objective, non-judgmental comparisons. It is an appreciation   6  , an understanding of cultural pluralism – the ability to get rid of our ethnocentric tendencies and   7  another culture on its own terms. Many cross-cultural   8  go sour due to a lack of such   9  . Studying a second language   10  learning the culture is like learning how to drive a car   11  a driver’s manual but never getting   12  a steering wheel. We study a foreign language in order to communicate with people who have learned their native language not in a classroom,   13  in natural, everyday interactions with people and situations in their culture. They have learned the intentions   14  words and phrases most   15  consciously thinking about them; it has been part of their   16  and they have taken it for   17  .

It is impossible to be entirely objective when we observe another culture.   1  within the context of a particular culture, we have been influenced and shaped by its   2  , even if we cannot articulate (明确 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 达) them.   3  it should be one’s goal to   4  another culture with pure   5  , this is very hard to do. We must remember that in comparing cultures. “  6  ” does not mean “bad” or “  7  ” – it just means “different”. It is important to remember that although many moments of discomfort   8  when we are interacting with people from other cultures,   9  is inherently better or   10  than any other. Each culture has its own set of values, norms, and ways of doing things   11  are considered “right” for it.   12  one culture’s way of doing things is right for its people does not necessarily   13  it is “right” for everybody, and herein lies the potential   14  in cross cultural encounters. Becoming more   15  of the influencing of cultural values has many   16  consequences. It leads to better understanding of ourselves and   17  others. We become more   18  and less defensive, and we can   19  cultural differences as well as the similarities. After all,   20  is the spice of life. a1. a. Having been brought up    b.

In most cultures, when you meet acquaintances for the first time during a day, it is normal to greet them. The main purpose of this greeting is to   1  a good relationship between the people   2  , and each language usually has   3  set phrases that can be used for this purpose. Sometimes, though, there can be considerable   4  in the type of phrases that can be used, and   5  misunderstandings can easily arise. The following is a true story. A young British woman went to Hong Kong to work, and at the   6  of her arrival she knew   7  about the Chinese culture or language.   8  her way to school one day, she went to the bank to get some money. To her surprise, the bank clerk asked her if she had had her lunch before she went to the bank. She was extremely surprised at   9  a question because in the British culture it would be regarded as an indirect   10  to lunch. Between unmarried young people it can also show the young man’s interest in   11  the girl. Since this bank clerk was a complete stranger   12  the British girl, she was very much surprised. After a moment she answered that she had already eaten quickly. Then she went on her way to her school and was even more surprised when one of the teachers asked her the   13  question. By now she realized that it could not be an invitation,   14  was confused why they all asked this question. In the following days she was asked the same question again and again, and she spent hours trying to explain   15  why so many people kept asking her this.   16  , she came to a conclusion: the people who   17  inquiring her about the same thing must be concerned about her   18  . She was somewhat underweight at the time, and so she concluded they must be worrying that she was not   19  very well! Only much later   20  that the question had no real sense at all – it was only a greeting. b1. a. build on                b. build up                c. build out            d. build into c2. a. concern                b. concerning                c. concerned            d. to concern d3. a. the number of            b. the amount of            c. an amount of            d. a number of b4. a. differences                b. similarities                c. likelihood            d. changes c5. a. parental                b. political                    c. cultural                d. musical b6. a. instant                b. moment                c. period                d. time c7. a. everything                b. anything                c. nothing                d. something c8. a.

Four men were arrested at   5  airport and held for questioning,   6  it is unlikely that they are the organizers. In   7  they declared that they were unaware   8  what the boxes contained and had acted in good faith in bringing   9  into Britain. This is the third time   10  five months that attempts have been   11  to smuggle illegal goods through Customs by   12  them to be medical supplies.
