READING COMPREHENSION
PASSAGE 1:
Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that
country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize
how little we actually know about the culture of that country.
Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural
differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is true.
In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was
typical of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare; the Queen, village inns,
English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can
be found in British culture, they do not show the real interest of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply
stereotype- that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were
suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of
their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be!
1. Is it necessarily true when many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country
simply by living in that country?
 ..................................................................................................................................................................
2. Why can books and talks about other people’s culture even be dangerous?
 .................................................................................................................................................................
3. What were the people asked to do in a study recently?
 ................................................................................................................................................................
4. Where can the characters be found?
 ..................................................................................................................................................
