19、 How would you explain the Directors behavior toward Katherine. How would you make the Director understand why Katherine felt frustrated and angry. Katherine came to Beijing in 1998 and found a job as an English teacher in a foreign language institute. Soon after her classes began, she found that he

20、r students showed no interest in her teaching style. Quite a few of them avoided attending her class. She was feeling quite upset and discouraged so she decided to ask the Director, Prof. Wang reviewed his timetable and suggested they meet at ten o clock on Thursday morning. When Thursday came, Kath

21、erine arrived at Prof. Wang office at the exactly ten o clock finding him talking with another teacher in Chinese. Seeing that she had come, Prof. Wang smiled and gestured her to sit down. Katherine sat down and the professor excused himself and continued to talk with the other teacher. After five m

22、inutes, he finished his - 4 - conversation, and apologized to Katherine, and began to focus his attention on her situation. Prof. Wang showed great concern and asked her what the problem was.

23、irector s signature. The Director smiled, apologized to Katherine again, and turned to talk with the Chinese teacher in Chinese.

Jay refuses, saying I can figure it out on my own” .参考答案：2. In this case, Jays unwillingness to ask others for help in understanding his assignme

26、nt is a sign of his masculine emphasis on independence. As some scholars point out rather humorously, men invariably resist asking directions when they are lost in the road while women do not hesitate to ask strangers for help. What we have discussed about gender identity help us understand this dif

27、ference. Because women initially develop identity within the first relationships have an undertone of danger-they could jeopardize independence. So Jays refusal to ask others for help reflects the masculine emphasis on maintaining autonomy and not appearing weak or incompetent. Unless Ellen realizes

28、 this difference between them, Jays behavior will continue to baffle her. 填空题 10.

42、eters greeted them at the Pingyong Railway Station. Surprisingly, while exchanging a few formal remarks, the two interpreters eyes consistently observed the two Chinese female teachers trousers.

43、 dirty or marked. About half an hour later, they arrived at the hotel where they would be staying during their mission. The two interpreters showed each - 9 - of them to their rooms to give them an opportunity to freshen up before the formal introductions. In a couple of minutes, the four Chinese te

44、achers gathered in one of the rooms, where the head of the university and the two interpreters introduced themselves further and briefed them on the training program. While talking, the two interpreters seemed to continue to study the two female teachers trousers. At first, they thought that the Kor

45、ean interpreters were too embarrassed to look straight in the eyes of a woman. Later this assumption was proved wrong.

50、errupted by other things or people. In addition, Westerners are good - 10 - timekeepers; they adhere strictly to schedules. However, Chinese view appointment in a more flexible manner. They are more causal about commitments. This difference in attitudes toward appointment was the roof of Katherine s

51、 unhappiness. Since the Director made a ten o clock appointment, he should have tried to avoid any interruption.
