Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on
visible, explicit aspects of culture, such language, dress, food, religion, music,
and social rituals. Although they are important, these visible expressions of
culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of
the iceberg or culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside
awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that


certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long
we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation,
how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, what we consider
beautiful or ugly. These are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without
being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions
differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their
behavior as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural
relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral
differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people's
behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that
we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals,
workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible
cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less
misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing
exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked
strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he
understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our
language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to

recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual
misunderstanding may arise.

Read the following passage mark letter A, B, C, or D on your sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
Coincident with concerns about the accelerating loss of species and
habitats has been a growing appreciation of the importance of biological diversity,
the number of species in a particular ecosystem, to the health of the Earth and
human well-being. Much has been written about the diversity of terrestrial
organisms, particularly the exceptionally rich life associated tropical rain-forest
habitats. Relatively little has been said, however, about diversity of life in the
sea even though coral reef systems are comparable to rain forests in terms of
richness of life.
An alien exploring Earth would probably give priority to the planet's
dominants - most distinctive feature - the ocean. Humans have a bias toward land
that sometimes get in the way of truly examining global issues. Seen from far away,
it is easy to realize landmasses occupy only one-third of the Earth’s surface. Given
that two thirds of the Earth's surface is water and that marine life lives at all
levels of the ocean, the total three-dimensional living space of the ocean is
perhaps 100 times greater than that of land and contains more than 90 percent of all
life on Earth even though the ocean has fewer distinct species.
The fact that half of the known species are thought to inhabit the
world's rain forests doesn't seem surprising, considering the huge numbers of
insects that comprise the bulk of the species. One scientist found many different
species of ants in just one tree from a rain forest. While every species is
different from every other species, their genetic makeup constrains them to be
insects and to share similar characteristics with 750,000 species of insects. If
basic, broad categories such as phyla and classes are given more emphasis than
differentiating between species, then the greatest diversity of life is
unquestionably by sea. Nearly every major type of plant and animal has some
presentation there.
To appreciate fully the diversity and abundance of life in the sea, it helps to

think small. Every spoonful of ocean water life, on the order of 100 to 100,000
bacteria cells plus assorted microscopic plants and animals, including larvae of
organisms ranging from sponges and corals to starfish and clams and much more.
