W: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important.
M: I couldn’t agree with you more. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts.
W: You’re right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf.
M: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don’t stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment.
W: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don’t put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet, but this is only momentary.
M: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the case in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm.
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. What do Americans tend to do?
24. Why do Americans care about personal space?
25. What do Americans think of eye contact?
选项
A、They are suspicious of it.
B、They are afraid of it.
C、They are fine with it.
D、They are disrespectful about it.
答案
C
解析
根据问题可知选项中的it指的是eye contact。对话最后提到在许多国家,eye contact是一种无礼的表现,而在美国则代表率真、诚实和热情,故答案为C)。
