Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question What is cultural diversity? Diversity is nothing more than a difference from the majority. In any culture, there is a majority and many minorities. Culture is a set of norms that set standards for a society of what is acceptable behavior. In every culture, there are basic standards for social interaction such as personal space distance, eye contact, amount of body language displayed in public, negotiating style, etc. In America, we stand about eighteen inches apart when engaged in normal conversation; prefer very direct eye contact; are pretty demonstrative with body language and negotiate very directly, always asking the other party for their “bottom line”. In other cultures, they may stand closer or farther than we are comfortable, may view direct eye contact as rude, be more or less open to displaying body language and negotiate more indirectly. In America, many of us have a peculiar habit of assuming that those who differ from our norms are wrong. We tend to view the world from a rather myopic view leading to those outside this country calling us “Ugly Americans”. Cultural diversity makes our country richer by making it a more interesting place in which to live. Just think how boring a meal would be without Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, Italian, German, French or Indian food! Cultural diversity also makes our country stronger and better able to compete in the new global economy. People from diverse cultures bring language skills, new ways of thinking, creative solutions to difficult problems and negotiating skills. In the past, ethnographers in the United States used to refer to our country as a melting pot where new immigrants would eventually be fully integrated into the American culture. This has obviously not happened so modern researchers have not begun to talk about America as a garden salad where different cultural diversity mixes with the European American culture to form a meal where all o f the various ingredients are still readily identifiable. Cultural diversity makes the United States a much more interesting place in which to live for all of its inhabitants. If we all thought alike imagine how boring the world would be! Thank God for diversity! 66. The best title of the passage could be ________. A. American Cultural Diversity B. American Ethical Minorities C. American Standards D. America as a Melting Pot 67. The word "norms" in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. examples B. rules C. data D. models 68. As discussed in the passage, which of the following may NOT be considered polite in American culture? A. Maintaining direct eye contacts while talking with others ---------------------------------------------------------- Page 5 of 8
6. B. Negotiating in a very direct manner C. Keeping about half a meter away from others in normal conversation D. Touching others during the conversation with them 69. The word "party" in the passage almost means ________. A. staff B. presenter C. host D. negotiator 70. The phrase "bottom line" in the passage mostly means________. A. the required minimum B. the most important concern C. the key point to their success D. the minimum acceptable benefit 71. The word "assuming" in the passage is closest in meaning to ________. A. thinking B. saying C. arguing D. describing 72. The word "it" in the passage refers to ________. A. cultural diversity B. our countryC. global economy D. this country 73.
