(10 points)Read Passage 1 and then answer Questions 31 35 briefly. Write your a

26、nswers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its nuances along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way an American male does it. In talking, Americans are apt to en

27、d a statement with a droop of the head or hand, a lowering of the eyelids. They wind up a question with a lift of the hand, a lifting of the chin, or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement.There are regional body languages, too: an expert can some

28、times pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, ethnic Aground, social class, and personal style all influence your body language. The person who is truly bilingual is also bilingual in body language.Usually the wordless communication acts to

29、qualify the words. What the nonverbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often its a case of not what he said but the way he said it. Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has devised this formula: total impact of a

30、 message = 7%verbal +38% vocal +55% facial. The importance of the voice can be seen when you consider that even the words 1 hate you can be read to sound special.Experts in kinetics the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gesture. When a

31、n American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. For example, when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older mans eyes a little longer than usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection

32、; it can be a subtle challenge to the professors authority; or it can be something else entirely. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.31. What is mainly discussed in the opening paragraph?32. How can an expert in kinetics tell whether a person is a na

33、tive of Wisconsin or not?33. According to the writer, what factors affect ones body language?34. What is the function of nonverbal communication?35. Can we get a precise meaning through one particular gesture?Part 2: Questions 3640 are based on this part. (10 points)Read Passage 2 and then decide wh

34、ether Statements 36-40 are True or False according to the information given in the passage. Write T for true and F for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2In some respects we are like computers that are controlled by operating systems - our culture. Anthropologists Edward T. Hall and Mildred Reed Hal

35、l suggested that culture is a sy5lern for creating, sending, storing, and processing information. - Sounds rather like the standard definition for a computer, doesnt it? This useful metaphor helps us better understand how culture operates. Think of your body as the hardware of a computer. Computers

36、may have more than one operating system, such as DOS, Mac, Unix, or Windows. They also have software that controls specific applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. When you are functioning under one operating system, say as a European North American, you behave like o

37、thers in that group. But at times you may be controlled by another operating system, say, when you are in a situation where you are functioning as a female. Society programs men and women to act differently. Gender, race, age, religion, and many other factors affect our behavior. These factors are l

38、ike operating systems that program us to behave in certain patterns.Just as Unix operating system has trouble communicating with a DOS machine, so do people from one culture have difficulty getting through to those from another culture. Because individuals have more than one operating system, they d

39、o not always behave as expected. And just as operating systems can control many software applications, people are further differentiated by the software application that may be operating at any given time. For example, work cultures differ remarkably from one organization to another. When people con

40、ditioned to work in casual surroundings are placed in work cultures that are more formal and regimented, they may experience culture shock.The important thing to remember is that culture is a powerful operating force that conditions the way we think and behave. And yet, we are not truly computers. A

41、s thinking individuals, we are extraordinarily flexible and are capable of phenomenal change. 36. In some way people are like computers that are controlled by operating systems-culture. 37. Society programs men and women of the same culture not to act differently.38. Just as computers with different

42、 operating systems have difficulty communicating, people from different cultures cannot communicate with each other. 39. Gender, race, age, religion, and many other factors are like operating systems that program us to behave in certain patterns.40. In one society, people conditioned to work in casu

43、al conditions will not be shocked when placed in formal work cultures. Section : Communication Analysis 30 pointsInstructions: The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication. In each of the cases there is something to be improved upon.

49、t. It sure was too cold to walk. Forget it, said Zhou, as he handed back his dollar.Oh, no. I insist. 1 dont want to take advantage of a friend. What if 1 needed to borrow money again sometime? If I didnt pay you back now, I would feel wrong asking to borrow money again, said Jim, as he put the doll

50、ar into Zhous shirt pocket.Zhou answered, But thats what friends for. In China, we have a saying today for you, tomorrow for me. If you pay me back, I will feel that I wont be able to ask you for money when I need it. I will feel like you are closing the door on me, and that there is no trust betwee

Question 42:Why did Jim insist on returning the dollar to Zhou? Why didnt Zhou want to take it? What culture values are reflected in their attitudes? Case 3 (13
