<i><b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate </b></i>
<i><b>the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40. </b></i>
Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviors, and social habits. These give people
a sense of who they are, how they are supposed to behave, and what they should or should not do.
People become <i><b>conscious of such rules when they meet people from different cultures. For </b></i>
example, the rules about when to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans and
Europeans organize their timetables around three mealtimes a day. In other countries, on the other
hand, it is not the custom to have strict rules like this – people eat when they want to, and every
family has its own timetable.
When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised at the differences
that exist between their own culture and the culture in the other country. For some people, traveling
abroad is the thing they enjoy most in life; for others, though, cultural differences make them feel
uncomfortable, frightened, or even insecure. This is known as "culture shock".
When you are visiting a foreign country, it is important to understand and appreciate cultural
differences. This can help people avoid misunderstandings, develop friendships more easily, and
feel more comfortable when traveling or living abroad.
