Cultural norms can vary greatly between different countries and societies around the world. What is considered normal behavior in one place may seem very unusual or even rude in another culture. Being aware of cultural differences helps avoid misunderstandings when travelling or interacting with people from other backgrounds. In some Asian countries like Japan and China, it is normal to slurp food loudly when eating soups or noodles. This shows you are enjoying your meal. However, in many Western cultures, slurping is seen as poor manners and impolite. Another difference is concepts of personal space. In crowded cities, people stand quite close together on public transport without feeling uncomfortable. But in other cultures, leaving more personal space is expected. Greeting norms also differ across cultures. In Russia, it is common for friends of the same gender to greet each other with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. But this level of physical contact may make others
______________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________ I learn smart world 12 – Practice tests uncomfortable in cultures where greetings are more formal handshakes. Some Muslim countries have very reserved greetings between unmarried men and women to avoid inappropriate physical contact. Ideas around punctuality and time also vary. Being precisely on time is extremely important in countries like Germany or Switzerland. But in parts of the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, a more relaxed concept of time is normal. Events may start later than scheduled without it being considered rude. When interacting across cultures, being aware of different norms helps prevent accidental insults or misunderstandings. Keeping an open and respectful attitude to cultural differences enables smoother cross- cultural experiences. Question 29: What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Personal Space B. How to Greet Friends in Different Cultures C. Understanding Cultural Norms Around the World D.

Traditionally, Americans and Asians have very different ideas about love and marriage. Americans believe in “romantic” marriage – a boy and a girl are attracted to each other, fall in love, and decide to marry each other. Asians, on the other hand, believe in “contractual” marriage – the parents of the bride and the groom decide on the marriage; and love – if it ever develops – is supposed to follow marriage, not precede it. To show the differences, a survey was conducted among American, Chinese and Indian students to determine their attitudes toward love and marriage. Below is a summary of each group’s responses to the four key values. Physical attractiveness: The Americans are much more concerned than the Indians and the Chinese with physical attractiveness when choosing a wife or a husband. They also agree that a wife should maintain her beauty and appearance after marriage. Confiding: Few Asian students agree with the American students’ view that wives and husbands share all thoughts. In fact, a majority of Indians and Chinese think it is better and wiser for a couple not to share certain thoughts. A large number of Indian men agree that it is unwise to confide in their wives. Partnership of equals: The majority of Asian students reject the American view that marriage is a partnership of equals. Many Indian students agree that a woman has to sacrifice more in a marriage than a man. Trust built on love: Significantly, more Asian students than American students agree that a husband is obliged to tell his wife where he has been if he comes home late. The Asian wife can demand a record of her husband’s activities. The American wife, however, trusts her husband to do the right thing because he loves her not because he has to. The comparison of the four values suggests that young Asians are not as romantic as their American counterparts. Question 34: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. The Importance of Physical Attractiveness in Marriage B. Romantic vs. Contractual Marriages: A Cultural Comparison C. Partnership of Equals in Different Cultures D. Trust and Confiding in Marriages
