Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信號）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize（強調）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries -- like the UK or France -- people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
【小題1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to__________.
| A．develop closer relations | B．share the same culture |
| C．get to know each other | D．keep each other company |
| A．the English prefer to make long speeches |
| B．too many words are of no use |
| C．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature |
| D．even talk and silence can be culturally different |
| A．By sharing different ways of life. | B．By accepting different habits. |
| C．By recognizing different values. | D．By speaking each other’ s languages. |
| A．Multicultural Environment. | B．Cross-Cultural Differences. |
| C．How to Understand Each Other. | D．How to Build Up a Relationship. |
| A．I talked too much in the speech, which surprised the audience. |
| B．Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences. |
| C．There is no way to overcome cultural differences. |
| D．Different cultures have difference in relationship building. |

It is not a good idea to stop the actor Richard Griffiths in the middle of a play．During the past year he has stopped performances many times at the National Theatre when mobile phones rang, and he threw out one member of the audience because she failed to turn off her phone．
So when a mobile rang out for the third time during his performance in Alan Bennett’s The History Boys, he spoke angrily to the theatergoer （愛看戲的人）, “I am not going to compete with these electronic devices （裝置）．”
Griffiths’ actions led to a debate in the UK theatre world over whether phones should be forbidden by law from British theatres, too．Actors have already asked the government to legalise （使合法化） the use of an electronic device that stops mobile phone signals in theatres．
Technology companies have “stopping” devices that send out a high-powered signal on the same frequency （頻率） as a mobile phone, stopping the mobile phone signal．
However, these are forbidden in many countries because they might stop emergency calls from being made．
Rosemary Squire, president of the Society of West End Theatre, said, “Phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face．We should look at equipment that could stop phones or make a London-wide theatre rule．”
Nick Allott, the managing director of Sir Cameron Mackintosh’s theatre group, said, “We would all welcome some ways of stopping ringing phones but doctors and emergency workers need to be connected in a theatre and we mustn’t stop that．” What can we do to solve the problem?
【小題1】What can we infer from the second paragraph?
| A．Surely Griffiths did better than mobile phones in the theatre． |
| B．Griffiths didn’t want mobile phones to affect his performance． |
| C．Griffiths was jealous that mobile phones attracted the audience’s attention． |
| D．Griffiths taught theatergoers a lesson in the performance as a teacher． |
| A．have the same functions as mobile phones |
| B．cause the biggest problem theatres have to face |
| C．prevent the mobile phones signals from being received |
| D．help doctors or emergency workers receive emergency calls |
| A．“stopping” devices can make the sound of mobile phones disappear |
| B．no one except doctors and emergency workers should have mobile phones |
| C．phones are one of the biggest problems theatres face |
| D．stopping phones in theatres has some side effects |
| A．Griffiths’ next performance in theatres． |
| B．The opinions the public has about the problem． |
| C．The ways to solve the cellphone problem in public places． |
| D．The side effects mobile phones have on people． |
