Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or improper, nonnal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however, having our own judgment bould lead us to discriminate other cultural values which are different from our own because we do not understand them. Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other cultures helps us understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases about different groups. In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not necessarily our own, so that we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

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.
