another person who is trying to develop a relationship Different cultures emphasize 强调 the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree For example business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust Even with people at work it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk usually over a glass of tea before they do any job In many European countries like the UK or France people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants rather than at the office Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures I once made a speech in Thailand I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion instead there was an uncomfortable silence The people just looked at me all the time and smiled After getting to know their ways better I realized that they thought I was talking too much In my own culture we express meaning mainly through words but people there sometimes feel too many words are not needed Even within Northern Europe cultural differences can cause serious problems Certainly English and German cultures share almost the same values however Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly We think that they are rude In fact this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly People from different parts of the world have different values and sometimes these values are quite against each other However if we can understand them better a multicultural 多元文化 environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other 1 In some countries eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to 第 6 页 共 17 页 A develop closer relationship B share the same culture C get to know each other D make a successful speech 2 The writer mentions his journey in Thailand to show that A too many words are of no use B the English prefer to make long speeches C even talk and silence can be culturally different D people from Thailand are quiet and shy 3 What would be the best title for the passage A Multicultural Environment B Cross Cultural Differences C How to Understand Each Other D How to Build Up a Relationship 3 10
