25、ions 3 135 briefly . Write your answers on theAnswer Sheet.Passage 1Proxemics is the Study of what governs how closely one person stands to another . People who feel close will be close , though the actual distances will vary between cultures .For Americans we can discern four main categories of dis

26、tance : intimate, personal, social and public . Intimate distance ranges from direct Contact to about 45 centimeters. Beyond this comes personal stance. . This stands at between 45 and 80 Centimeters It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives o Social di

27、stance coversPeople who work together or are meeting at social gatherings . . Distances here tend to be kept between 1. 3 to 2 meters. Beyond this comes Public distance, much as that between a lecturer and his audience.All Cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what ills an inappropr

28、iate Social o t distance for different types of realty 。 unship. They differ , however, in where they draw these lines. Look at an international reception with representatives from the U S . and Arabic countries, conversing and you will see the American pirouetting backward surround the hall pursued

29、 by their Arab partners . The Americans wilt be trying to keep a distance between themselves and their partnerswhich they have grown used to and regard as "normal”. They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arab partners whom they r

30、egard as being a bit. The Arabs , pushy"Other hand, coming from a cherisher, e much closer distance is the norm , may feel that the Americans are a little ' stand-offish'. Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation With , they will rele

31、ntlessly pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them .The appropriateness of physical contact varies between different cultures . 0ne study 0f the number of times people converse in coffee shops over a one hour period showed the following interesting variations : Lo

32、ndon , 0; Florida , 2; Paris, 10; and Puerto Rico 18b. Not only does it vary between societies , however, it also varies between different sub cult rues within one society . Young people in Britain , for example , are more likely to touch and hug friends than the older generation . This may be partl

33、y a matter of growing older, but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at fl time when touching was less common for all age groups . Forty years ago, for example , footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today .31. What are the four

34、 main categories of distance for Americans?32. How far apart should people who work together stand when communicating with each other?33. Why are Americans trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their Arabpartners?34. Why do Arabs feel that Americans are being ' stand offish '

35、?35. When conversing , do the English and Americans touch each other more than the French? Part 2： Questions 3 640 are based on this part. (1 0 points)Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 36 40 are True or False according to the information given in the passage . Write " T" fo

36、r true andF“ for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2/、Nobody actually wants to cause offence but , as business becomes even more international , it is increasingly easy to get it wrong . There may be a single European market but it does not mean that managers behave the same in Greece as they do in

37、Denmark.In many European countries handshaking is an automatic gesture . In France good manners require that on arriving at a business meeting a manager shakes hands with everyone present. Handshaking is almost as popular in other countries, including Germany, Belgium and Italy . But Northern Europe

38、ans , such as the British and Scandinavians, are not quite so fond of physical demonstrations of friendliness .In Europe the most common challenge is not the content of the food , but the way you behave as you eat. In France it is not good manners to raise tricky questions of business over the main

39、course. Business has its place： after the cheese course. Unless you are prepared to eat in silence you have to talk about somethingsomething, that is, other than thebusiness deal, which you are continually chewing over in your head .Italians give similar importance to the whole process of business e

40、ntertaining . In fact , in Italy the biggest fear , as course after course appears, is that you entirely forget you are there on business. If you have the energy , you can always do the polite thing when the meal finally ends , and offer to pay . Then, after a lively discussion , you must remember t

41、he next polite thing to do - let your host pick up the bill .The Germans are notable for the amount of formality they bring to business . As a1) outsider, it is often difficult to know whether colleagues have been working together for 30 years or have just met for the first time in their life . 1f y

42、ou are used to calling people by their first names this can be a little strange . To the Germans, titles are important . Forgetting that someone should be called Herr Doctor or Frau Directory might cause serious offence .It is equally offensive to call them by a title they do not possess .In Italy t

43、he question of title is further confused by the fact that everyone with a university degree can be called Nott ore and engineers , lawyers and architects may also expect to be called by their professional titles .These cultural challenges exist side by side with the problems of doing business in a f

44、oreign language. Language, of course, is full of difficultiesdisaster may be only asyllable away . But the more you know of the culture of the country you are dealing with , the less likely you are to get into difficulties . It is worth the effort . It might be rather hard to explain that the reason

45、 you lost the contract was not the product or the price , but the fact that You offended your hosts in a light-hearted comment over an aperitif . Good manners are admired: they can also make or break the deal.36. People in Britain shake hands just as much as people in Germany .37. In France people p

46、refer talking about business during meals .38. It is not polite to insist on paying for a meal if you are in Italy .39. German business people don' t like to be called by their titles .40. Italian professionals are usually addressed by their titles .Section IV : Communication Analysis 30 pointsI
