Paragraph 4 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions. In today's business world, international communication is widespread, but language and business etiquette can vary significantly across countries. Understanding cultural norms can help prevent misunderstandings and communication errors. Here are three basic aspects of differences in business etiquette worldwide. Firstly, the use of personal titles can vary greatly. For example, in Germany, it is customary to use the title "Dr" on business cards to reflect respect for one's educational efforts and achievements. Conversely, in the UK, some believe that only medical doctors should be addressed as "Dr," and that others using this title can appear arrogant and self-important. Secondly, the perception of smiling in business interactions differs across cultures. In Russia, an unprovoked smile can be seen as a sign of foolishness, whereas in countries like the USA, Australia, and the UK, smiling is viewed as a gesture of openness and respect. However, studies have shown that in places like India, Argentina, and the Maldives, smiling might be associated with dishonesty. Lastly, the practice of making eye contact varies internationally. Americans and Britons might use direct eye contact to show attentiveness, but in Japan or Korea, this can be perceived as awkward or disrespectful. In parts of South America and Africa, prolonged eye contact might be seen as a challenge to authority. In the Middle East, cross-gender eye contact is considered inappropriate, while same-gender eye contact can denote honesty and truthfulness. [I] However, it is crucial to remember that cultural stereotypes can hinder building effective business relationships. [II] Although national cultures influence our behaviors and perceptions, we are also shaped by regional backgrounds, community affiliations, age, gender, corporate culture, and personal experiences. [III] Awareness of potential differences should be maintained as a background consideration rather than a definitive guide to categorizing individuals.
