Part III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer (10 points)

In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals . Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist.

Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before

Being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention

Through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural

Assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin.

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others' behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people 's behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.

Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.

1. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.

B. To describe cultural diversity.

C. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.

D. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.

2. The word "rituals" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.

A. Aspects

B. Assumptions

C. Formalities

D. Cultures

3. The phrase "the tip of the iceberg" in paragraph 1 means that ___________.

A. Other cultures seem cold to us

B. Visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions

C. We usually focus on the highest forms of culture

D. Most aspects of culture can not be seen

4. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?

A. What food to eat in a courthouse

B. How late is considered impolite

D. How people express interest in what others are saying

C. What topics to avoid in conversation

5. The word "those" in paragraph 2 refers to__________.

A. People who speak a different language C. People from a different culture

B. Invisible cultural assumptions D. Topics that should be avoided in conversation

6. It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that conflict results when ___________.

A. People compete with those from other cultures

B. People think cultural differences are personal

C. Some people recognize more cultural differences than others

D. One culture is more invisible than another culture

7. The author implies that in stitutions such as schools and workplaces ____________.

A. Are aware of cultural differences C. Teach their employees about cultural differences

B. Reinforce invisible cultural differences D. Share a common culture

8. Which of the following would most likely result in misunderstanding?

A. Learning about our own culture in school

B. Strange behaviour from someone speaking our language

C. Strange behaviour from someone speaking a foreign language

D. Unusual food being cooked by foreign visitors

9. The word "exotic" in paragraph 4 could best be replaced by__________.

A. Formal B. Informal C. Foreign D. Expensive

10. The following sentence can be added to paragraph 2 of the passage.

Rather, we see them as rude or uncooperative, and we may apply labels to them, such as "passive

aggressive." Where would it best fit in the paragraph? Choose A, B, C or D.

(A) Invisible elements of culture are important to us. (B) For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. (C) When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin. (D)
