However,<br /> this is not necessarily true. often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know<br /> about the culture of that country.<br /> Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and<br /> exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue.<br /> In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical of<br /> Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, villages inns, English folk<br /> dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper. Although all of these characters can be found in British<br /> culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype - that is, general<br /> character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people<br /> themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would<br /> their impression of other culture be!<br /> Question 21: It is hard to learn about a country's culture from books because such books........<br /> A. exaggerate national character<br /> B. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture<br /> C. take no notice of culture difference<br /> D. contain little information about culture<br /> Question 22: It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to.........<br /> A. know a lot about your own country's culture<br /> B. know the culture of other countries<br /> C. describe stereotypes of your country<br /> D. give exact information about your own country<br /> Question 23: When asked about their own culture, many British people........<br /> A. said they themselves were not typical of British people B. argued they knew little about British culture<br /> C. gave incorrect answers<br /> D. were surprised by the question asked.<br /> Question 24: Which of the following is true?<br /> A. It’s easy to assimilate the culture of a foreign country.<br /> B. Visitors to a country are soon assimilated into its culture.<br /> C. the culture of a foreign country cannot be learned by reading books.<br /> D.
