From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）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 countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working 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（多元文化）environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.31 . In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.Akeep each other companyBshare the same cultureCget to know each otherDdevelop closer relations32 . The writer mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _.Atoo many words are of no useBthe English prefer to make long speechesCeven talk and silence can be culturally differentDpeople from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature33 . What would be the best title for the passage?AMulticultural EnvironmentBCross-Cultural DifferencesCHow to Understand Each OtherDHow to Build Up a RelationshipA group of people asked this question to a group 4-to-8-year-old children. “What does love mean?” The answers were surprising. The children would answer like they did below.“When my grandmother hurt her knees, she couldnt bent（弯腰） over and paint her toenails（脚指甲） any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. Thats love.” (Rebeccaage 8)“Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you dont shout at them because you know it would hurt their feelings.” (Samanthaage 6)“Love is what makes you smile when youre tired.” (Terriage 4)“I let my big sister pick on（捉弄） me because my mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.” (Bethanyage 4)“I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.” (Laurenage 4)“Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.” (Elaineage 5)“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You dont see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.” (Clearage 5)“You really shouldnt say I love you if you dont mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.

This is the one day of the year when people around the world care about their sleep and ask themselves a lot of questions about sleep.Why do we need sleep? Nobody can give a perfect answer to this question yet. However, tests have shown that lack (缺少) of sleep over about four weeks leads to a strong drop in body temperature, great weight loss and finally, sickness.Different people need different amounts of sleep. Eight hours a night is considered the average amount of sleep. For teenagers, the least number of sleeping hours advised by doctors is: ten hours for primary school students, nine for junior highs and eight for senior highs.Some people seem to get along just well with very little sleep at night. Leading American scientist Thomas Edison said that sleep was a waste of time. He did, however take naps during the day. On the other hand, Albert Einstein, another great scientist, said he needed at least ten hours sleep a night.Here are some of the most useful suggestions for a good nights sleep:Go to bed at the same time.Use your bed only to sleep.Dont exercise in the evening.Keep the bedroom dark and quiet.Drink a glass of milk before sleeping.Stop looking at the watch while you cant sleep.Information CardThe date of World Sleeping Day70 .
