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 drivers manual but never getting 12 a steering wheel.

We must remember that in comparing cultures.6 does not mean bad or 7一 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 cultures 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.

The main purpose of this greeting is to a good relationship between the people 2, and each language usually has _3 set phrases that can be used fbr 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, lb 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 mans 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.1. a. build onb. build upc. build outd. build into2. a. concernb. concerningc. concernedd. to concern3. a. the number ofb. the amount ofc. an amount ofd. a number of4. a. differencesb. similaritiesc. likelihoodd. changes5. a. parentalb. politicalc. culturald. musical6. a. instantb. momentc. periodd. time7. a. everythingb. anythingc. nothingd. something8. a.
