Read the following passage and choose the best answers A, B, C, or D.


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 untrue.
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, villages 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 interests 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!

A. exaggerate national character
B. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture
C. take no notice of culture difference
D. contain little information about culture
Question 22: It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to.........
A. know a lot about your own country's culture
B. know the culture of other countries
C. describe stereotypes of your country
D. give exact information about your own country
Question 23: When asked about their own culture, many British people........
A. said they themselves were not typical of British people B. argued they knew little about British culture
C. gave incorrect answers
D. were surprised by the question asked.
Question 24: Which of the following is true?
A. It’s easy to assimilate the culture of a foreign country.
B. Visitors to a country are soon assimilated into its culture.
C. The culture of a foreign country cannot be learned by reading books.
D. British people understand their own culture more than other culture.
Question 25: If we stay a long time in a foreign country, .........
A. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture.
B. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country.
C. we will usually realize our own ignorance about its culture.
D. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country

Read the following passage and choose the best answers A, B, C, or D.
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 untrue.

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, villages 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 interests 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!
Question 27: When asked about their own culture, many British people........
A. argued they knew little about British culture
B. were surprised by the question asked.
C. gave incorrect answers D. said they themselves were not typical of British people
Question 28: Which of the following is true?
A. British people understand their own culture more than other culture.
B. Visitors to a country are soon assimilated into its culture.
C. The culture of a foreign country cannot be learned by reading books.
D. It’s easy to assimilate the culture of a foreign country.
Question 29: It is hard to learn about a country's culture from books because such books........
A. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture
B. contain little information about culture
C. take no notice of culture difference
D. exaggerate national character
Question 30: It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to.........
A. know the culture of other countries
B. describe stereotypes of your country
C. give exact information about your own country
D. know a lot about your own country's culture
Question 31: If we stay a long time in a foreign country, .........
A. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture
B. we will usually realize our own ignorance about its culture
C. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country

D. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country

B. unfriendly manner
C. common situations
D. politeness
Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage.
If dancing isn't your thing, perhaps you ...(34)... singing? Everyone knows that karaoke comes from Japan, but it is not the
Japanese for 'drunk and tone-deaf' as you might think. It actually means 'empty orchestra'. It all started in a small music ...
