impolite or bowing because form show avoid complex status
Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word
In summary, for most visitors, the Japanese are (1) complex and difficult to
understand. The graceful act of (2)bowing , is the traditional greeting.
However, they have also adopted the western custom of shaking hands, but
with a light grip. Meanwhile, to (3) show respect for their customs, it would
flatter them to offer a slight bow when being introduced. (4) avoid hugging
and kissing when greeting. It is considered rude to stare. Prolonged direct
eye contact is considered to be (5) impolite or even intimidating. It is rude
to stand with your hand or hands in your pockets, especially when greeting
someone (6) or when addressing a group of people. The seemingly simple
act of exchanging business cards is more complex in Japan (7) because the
business card represents not only one’s identity but also his (8) status in
life. Yours should be printed in your own language and in Japanese. The
Japanese are not a touch-oriented society; so avoid open displays of
affection, touching or any prolonged (9) form of body contact. Queues are
generally respected; especially in crowded train and subway stations (10)
where the huge volume of people causes touching and pushing.
for dislike no express much look while to be accurately interpreting
Fill in each numbered blank with one suitable word or phrase.
The most dominant and reliable features of facial expressions provide a
constant channel of communication. They can be shifty and evasive; convey
hate, fear, and guilt; or (1) express confidence, love, and support.
Referred to as “mirrors of the soul” our eyes serve as the major decisive
factor in (2) interpreting the spoken words. The eyes of the man converse
as (3) much as their tongues, with the advantage that the ocular dialect
needs (4) no dictionary, but it is understood all over the world. When the
eyes say one thing, and the tongue another, a practiced man relies on eyes.
Except (5) for extremely shy individuals, most people look for social

acceptance by studying the eyes of others. Eyes also can (6) accurately
indicate a positive or a negative relationship. People tend to look longer and
more often at the people whom they trust, respect and care about than at
those whom they doubt or (7) dislike. Normal eye dilation is not under
control of the individual. Personally characteristics such as introversion


and extroversion also influence eye behavior. Eye behavior seems (8) to be
particular importance and is generally used to indicate whether one is open
to communication. This can be observed when a teacher asks the class a
question: students who think they know the answer will generally (9) look
at the teacher, (10) while students who do not know the answer will usually
try to avoid eye contact.
Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with
another person, to recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness.
The formulas for greeting are very specific and usually do not carry any
literal meaning people say “ Good morning “even if it is a miserable day and
may reply to “How are you?” with “Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t feeling
well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal
meaning. People who are leaving each other permanently or for a long time
shake hands or embrace, depending on the relationship. If you are in an
unfamiliar situation and wonder what to do, watch other people or ask.
It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the
standards of courtesy in different cultural areas of the world so that we can
practice them well and avoid awkwardness in case we get a chance to visit a
person or a community of unfamiliar social customs.

Traditions, saying, beliefs, language, and values are just a few things that

make up our culture. Culture is the framework in which families are
structured. It shapes our expectations and ideals. Culture plays a part in the
meaning of marriage and our roles as husbands, wives, children and
parents.
Understanding cultural differences and similarities related to marriage is
important. Culture affects the roles that spouses take within marriages, the
age at marriage and number of children a couple have, the meaning of
divorce, cohabitation and non-marital childbearing, and the way parents
raise children. Understanding how relationships and marriages vary across
cultural contexts, and how they are similar, we will be able to identify the
unique ways that marriages and family life affect people of various cultures.
As a result, we will be able to help families and sustain happy marriages.
A cross cultural marriage or similar love relationship can be extremely
exciting. The cultural background, visits to the other country, the language
of the country and learning to speak it, the different habits and ways of
doing and saying things that people from other cultures have, are all very
exciting indeed. What are the disadvantages of a cross cultural marriage or
love relationship with someone from another country or cultural
background? No matter how much you love your husband or wife, no
matter how high your level of cross cultural awareness, cross cultural


communication and respect for differences, misunderstanding seems to be
unavoidable.

Passage 7: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence,
energy, fatigue, or status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict,
or replace verbal messages. Gestures also serve an important function with
regard to regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a student is
talking about something in front of the class, single nods of the head from
the teacher will likely cause that student to continue and perhaps more
elaborate. Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status,
affective moods, approval, deception, warmth, arid other variables related
to conversation interaction.
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” well describes the
meaning of facial expressions. Facial appearance – including wrinkles,
muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye color-offers enduring cues that
reveille information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair,
hairstyle, cleanliness, and facial hair-relate to an individual’s idea of beauty.
A third group of facial markers are momentary expressions that signal that
cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and
chin, such as raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both
types can positively or negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey
cues concerning emotions and attitudes.

Passage 5: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant,
phone the restaurant first to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a
long wait for table. To make a reservation, just give your name, the number
of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive. When you invite
someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach
for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on playing his or


her share, do not get into argument about it. Some people prefer to pay
their own way so that they do not feel indebted, and those feelings should
be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress’s tip is
not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to leave a
tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.

If you are invited to an American friend’s home for dinner, remember these
general rules for polite behaviour. First of all, arrive approximately on time
but not early. Americans expect promptness. It will be all right to be 10 or
15 minutes late, but not 45 minutes late. When you are invited to someone’s
home for meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy are
always appropriate. If you have something attractive made in your country,
your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you
do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do

not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one
noticed it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are
enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not over-stay your
welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how
much you enjoyed the evening.

Passage 2: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a
lover but a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their


opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for
a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely
they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in
general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man
and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires
much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand
each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the
other’s country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very
interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the
inability to understand your partner’s excitements and frustrations. For
example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up

with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this
artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately
you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she
has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she
has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed!
Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know
her country’s songs, her country’s famous actors, her books. She has her
own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult
than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody
can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where
she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and
lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes,
what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a
great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country’s culture, let
her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with
great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that
you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

home for meal, it is polite to bring a small gift. Flowers and candy are
always appropriate. If you have something attractive made in your country,
your host or hostess will certainly enjoy receiving that gift. What will you
do if you are served some food that you cannot eat or you do not like? Do
not make a fuss about it. Simply eat what you can and hope that no one
noticed it. Be sure to compliment the cook on the food that you are
enjoying. Do not leave immediately after dinner, but do not over-stay your
welcome, either. The next day, call or write a thank- you note to say how
much you enjoyed the evening.

Passage 7: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
Body postures and movements are frequently indicators of self-confidence,
energy, fatigue, or status. Cognitively, gestures operate to clarify, contradict,
or replace verbal messages. Gestures also serve an important function with
regard to regulating the flow of conversation. For example, if a student is
talking about something in front of the class, single nods of the head from
the teacher will likely cause that student to continue and perhaps more
elaborate. Postures as well as gestures are used to indicate attitudes, status,
affective moods, approval, deception, warmth, arid other variables related
to conversation interaction.
The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” well describes the
meaning of facial expressions. Facial appearance – including wrinkles,
muscle tone, skin coloration, and eye color-offers enduring cues that
reveille information about age, sex, race, ethnic origin, and status.
A less permanent second set of facial cues-including length of hair,
hairstyle, cleanliness, and facial hair-relate to an individual’s idea of beauty.
A third group of facial markers are momentary expressions that signal that
cause changes in the forehead, eyebrows, eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, and
chin, such as raising the eyebrows, wrinkling the brow, curling the lip.
Some facial expressions are readily visible, while others are fleeting. Both
types can positively or negatively reinforce the spoken words and convey
cues concerning emotions and attitudes.

Passage 2: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
When people plan to marry, they expect to find in their partner not only a
lover but a friend also. They find a person with whom they can share their


opinions, their emotions, thoughts and fears. In marriage we are looking for
a partner who will be able to understand our values, our likes and dislikes.
If a man and a woman are born and raised in the same country, most likely
they are familiar with the same songs, movies, jokes, books and life in
general. They basically have the same roots. In the case of a western man
and foreign woman family everything is more complicated and requires
much more patience and understanding from both spouses. On one hand
each of the partners has an opportunity to learn a great deal about the
other’s country, culture, traditions and life styles which can be very
interesting. On the other hand it can be very disappointing if there is the
inability to understand your partner’s excitements and frustrations. For
example, you are watching the television and suddenly you see a famous
actor or singer, or other type of an artist whose name you have grown up
with. Maybe this artist was an idol for your parents and the music of this
artist was often played in your house when you were a child. Unfortunately
you realize that your wife is unable to understand your feelings because she
has no idea who this artist is. Her eyes are absolutely empty because she
has never even heard the song before. You feel rather disappointed!
Remember that your wife has the same situation with you. You do not know
her country’s songs, her country’s famous actors, her books. She has her
own memories and in actuality, for her, everything is much more difficult
than it is for you. At least, you live in your own country where everybody

can understand you. She lives in completely strange surroundings, where
she has nobody to share her feelings with, except you.
Do some research and learn about your wife’s country, culture and
lifestyles. Talk with her, ask her questions, get to know what songs she likes,
what movies and books are of interest to her. The Internet will give you a
great opportunity to find anything! Tell her about your country’s culture, let
her listen to the music that you like, rent a movie for her that left you with
great impression. Let her understand you better through the things that
you like. Patience and time will help you to fight cultural differences.

Passage 3: Read the passages carefully, then choose the best option
Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with
another person, to recognize his or her existence and to show friendliness.
The formulas for greeting are very specific and usually do not carry any
literal meaning people say “ Good morning “even if it is a miserable day and
may reply to “How are you?” with “Fine, thanks” even if they aren’t feeling
well.
Closings, like greetings are commonly used to exchange with no literal
meaning. People who are leaving each other permanently or for a long time
shake hands or embrace, depending on the relationship. If you are in an
unfamiliar situation and wonder what to do, watch other people or ask.

It is interesting, and sometimes very important to learn about the
standards of courtesy in different cultural areas of the world so that we can
practice them well and avoid awkwardness in case we get a chance to visit a
person or a community of unfamiliar social customs.

Passage 5: Read the passages carefully, then choose the correct answer.
If you invite an American friend to join you to have dinner in a restaurant,
phone the restaurant first to find out if you need a reservation to avoid a
long wait for table. To make a reservation, just give your name, the number
of people in your group, and the time you plan to arrive. When you invite
someone to have dinner, you should be prepared to pay the bill and reach
for it when it arrives. However, if your companion insists on playing his or
her share, do not get into argument about it. Some people prefer to pay
their own way so that they do not feel indebted, and those feelings should
be respected. In most American restaurants, the waiter or waitress’s tip is


not added to the bill. If the service was adequate, it is customary to leave a
tip equal to about 15% of the bill. In expensive restaurants, leave a bit more.

Passage 12: Read the passages carefully and choose the best option
In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father
and their children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some
parts of the world, a family group has many other members. This kind of
large family is called an “extended family” or a “joint family”.
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother’s or the
father’s side of the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers,
sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. They live together in a large house or in
huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large
group in order to survive. The members of the group helped each other
hunt. They worked together to protect themselves from dangerous animals
and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife
lived at his parents’ home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until
they married. Chinese children felt very loyal to their parents. Younger
members of the joint families always took care of the old ones.

In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a
joint family share their earnings and property. If one member of the group
becomes ill or has bad luck, the others help the person. As in the past, the
members of the joint family offer each other help and protection.
