13、here is so much more meaning to a message than what exists in the spoken or written words. For example, if a person says, “you know, Barbara, I really like you,“ it has different meanings depending on whether it is said by man or a woman, in an office or a bar. Context, the tone of voice, the stress
14、 put on certain words, as well as the eye contact, physical distance , and the relationship between the speaker and the listener are all factors which give meaning to whats being said. Sometimes, these factors can generate much more meaning than the words themselves. If a friend says to me, “ Gee, I
15、 cant wait to see the result of the upcoming election,“ my interpretation of that message will be based upon my knowledge of my friends political views, the situation with the current campaign, and my ability to understand the meaning behind the tone of voice.Our ability to understand such cues is d
16、eveloped without us being aware of it through our process of socialization. Our interpretation of these cues just comes naturally. Every culture has its own set of culture cues that each member of that culture understands. Its common how a person from culture A and a person from culture B interpret
17、the very same words in totally different ways. Here are some examples:When “Sarcasm“ Means “Sincerity“Marsha thought things were going well with her new French friends, particularly Ber-trand. He often invited her to interesting and fun events, but he was often making fun of her. One day at an art e
18、xhibition, while looking at a particularly abstract piece, Marsha said that she couldnt understand what the artist was trying to express. Bertrand smiled and responded , “ Yes, Im afraid French art is far too advanced for Americans to understand. Marsha was upset; she really liked him and couldnt fi
19、gure out what caused him to frequently make fun of her. So she asked her host mother about it. “My dear,“ the host mother told her, “this means that he really likes you. In France, when someone feels comfortable enough to make fun of you, that means that you have been welcomed as a very-close friend
20、.When “Now“ Doesnt Mean “Now“Joshua, an American student in Heredia, invited a Costa Rican partner to meet for coffee. When he asked what time they should meet, the response was “ Nos encontramos ahora en el parquet“. “ Ahora“ literally means now. So he grabbed his jacket and headed straight to the
21、park where they agreed to meet. Half an hour later, his friend arrived without the least sign of regret for being late. After discussing the matter with his Spanish teacher, Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, “Ahora“ means sometime within the hour. And if people decide to meet someplace like in a pa
22、rk, it is no problem for one or the other to wait for a while because they will spend some nice time in the park, probably running into some other friends, or meeting someone friendly.When “Yes“ Doesnt Means “Yes“Many business people might have experienced this frustrating situation in Japan. Sarah,
23、 a young businesswoman from New York, was sent to Japan to close a big deal for her company. While giving her presentation, she became more and more certain of the sale because her Japanese business partners continually nodded their heads as she spoke. When she finished, she thought the deal was mad
24、e and asked when they would like to sign the a-greement. She was shocked when she was told that they were not yet sure if they wanted to make the deal or not. What Sarah did not know is that in Japan, nodding head does not necessarily mean “yes“ as it does in the US. It can also mean “Yes, I am list
25、ening and understanding what you are saying“ .These stories provide just a few examples of how language skills are simply not enough to achieve effective communication in another culture. To get the most of your international learning experience, focus on gaining cross-cultural skills which enable y
26、ou to do the following :understand how culture affects communication;deal with behavior that seems to you strange or offensive; learn from your cultural adaptation process; communicate more effectively.These skills will also help you when you learn a new language.

27、 of die culture from which it developed.31 This passage tells us that_.（A）sometimes, all the meaning of a message is revealed from the tone of voice（B） language skills can convey more meaning than you can understand（C） language skills alone are not enough for cross-cultural communication（D）meaning o
28、f a message only exist in the spoken or written words32 According to the passage, all the following statements are not true except_.（A）we are born with the ability to understand the cultural cues（B） Marshas French friend, Bertrand, didnt like her and often laughed at her ignorance of the French art（
29、C） Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, people are usually late for their appointments and wont feel sorry for that（D）nodding in Japan is understood in quite a different way from that in America33 The stories told in the passage show that language skills are not enough for people to communicate effect

It enables t
31、hem to decide where and when they want to go. The automobile influences where people live and work and how they spend their leisure time. The striking changes in peoples lives created by the automobile began in the United States and have since spread across much of the globe, especially in developed
32、 countries. But even in developing nations, the automobile is increasingly reshaping patterns of living.When the first automobiles were produced, only the well-to-do could afford them. Soon, however, prices declined as production increased in response to the flowing demand. The lower prices put the
33、automobile within reach of more and more Americans. Well-off urban residents found car ownership cheaper than keeping a horse and carriage. The growth in car ownership led to the building of more and better roads, which further increased travel throughout the nation. Before the development of automo
34、biles, urban workers walked, bicycled, or rode horse-drawn vehicles to their jobs. But as roads improved and car ownership expanded, workers no longer had to live near their jobs.During the 1920s, people in U. S. cities increasingly moved to the suburbs because of the freedom provided to the workers
35、 by automobile ownership. By the mid-1950s, even factories had begun to relocate in the suburbs. Wherever people have easy access to automobiles, cars play a major role in social life and the choice of recreational activities. People find it fun to hop in the car and visit friends and relatives, whe
36、ther the drive takes a few minutes, hours, or days. The automobile helps make it easy to organize picnics, family reunions, and other get-togethers. Trips by automobiles to such places as theme parks, national parks and mountain and seashore resorts are a favorite type of vacation for many people.35

40、ile launching a vending machine business that sells soft drinks and snack foods to workaholic computer engineers.In 1980, on his route as a bread salesman for a bakery, Aerts ran into the owner of a Pac Man game control panel who was servicing his equipment at a restaurant in Oakland, California. Ae
41、rts, who always wore a shirts and tie on sales calls, was impressed by the other fellows jeans and T-shirts and resolved to branch out on his own.But capitalism requires capital, and Aerts had little money to spare. Living paycheck to paycheck with his wife and newborn son, he worked days at the bak
42、ery and nights at a grocery store to pay the mortgage. During downtime between jobs, he developed his business strategy. “ Im sure I did every wrong thing you can possibly do,“ says Aerts, “ but I knew that with e-nough hard work, it would all make sense. “To get his business off the ground, he reli
43、ed on a second mortgage and credit cards, sometimes paying rates as high as 19% , to buy video game and vending machines. After purchasing several machines at retail price, he realized he could buy them directly from the manufacturers for less. And he learned that vending machines were more profitab
44、le than video games, which needed to be replaced frequendy to keep up with the fickle tastes of gamers. Aerts used the contacts he made through his bakery job to prospect for new business. To hedge his bets, he put in ten years at the grocery store to earn a modest pension.Today, Aertss company, Cus
45、tom Vending Systems, is the largest privately owned vendor in the region. He says business is booming as the Valleys economy blossoms after its 2000 bust.
