Americans are what is known as a "non-contact" people." Apart from hugs given in greeting and parting, touching— among adults—is
generally limited to very intimate relationships. Latin Americans find us cold in this regard. Many
Americans are envious of people who can reach out freely and
affectionately, but our strong sense of the
private space around each person inhibits us. In
conversation, Americans usually stand at least an arm's length apart and are made uncomfortable by people who stand closer. Because it is important to be assertive,
Americans speak fairly loudly, at least compared to Asians.
Foreigners sometimes mistake the loudness for anger when an
American is only trying to make himself understood. Visitors usually find Americans, for all their
informality, very polite. This
reputation seems to rest largely on the great number of "pleases" and "thank yous" we deliver, but also on the general recognition given to strangers. One should be
considerate of waiters, gas station attendants, and household help as well as of
doctors and senators. Americans are shocked to see the peremptory manner in which service workers are treated in other countries.
29- In the passage it is stated that the reason why
Americans are regarded as cold is that they ……….
A) don't like talking to
foreigners.
B) help great deal to
foreigners.
C) speak loudly with other
people.
D) generally don't hug or kiss
everyone.
E) don't listen to people who
they are talking to.
30- It can be inferred from the passage that the reason
Americans talk loudly because they ...
A) don't know intonation
B) are very hasty
C) stand quite far while talking.
D) don't like whispering in
crowded places.
E) look down on people
31- The writer states that, what Americans find odd is
that...
A) people stand too close while
talking.
B) other countries don't hug
people
C) visitors find them very polite
D) service workers are very
E) workers in other countries gain no respect or
consideration.

Greetings are pretty casual in the United States.
Americans shake hands and say "Hello" the first time they meet someone or if they meet someone again after a long time. After that, though, people usually say "Hi." Americans hug but never kiss their friends. Americans can be very friendly and open, often inviting people to their homes. Dinner
parties are very common. "Potluck" parties, in which everyone brings a dish to share, are also very popular. If you are invited to an American home, ask what you can bring. Often the hosts will tell you. If not, a
bottle of wine or some flowers or chocolates will be
appreciated.

shake hands...
A) whenever they see their

Except for a few special occasions, Americans are not big gift-givers. There's no exchange of presents among business people, and in fact, if one American were to give
another a present, it could look like an attempt at bribery. Americans have learned something of the role that gift- giving plays in certain other cultures, but among ourselves we don’t see the need for presents. Even friends may never exchange presents. When I go abroad, I try to bring back little souvenirs for close friends, but nobody would feel upset if I didn't rarely remember a
friend's birthday, and few people outside of my family remember mine. If someone gave me presents too often, I'd get
annoyed. However, a gift from a foreigner—typical of his or her homeland—wont go wrong, except to government employees who aren’t allowed to accept gifts.
35- According to the passage it is not acceptable to
exchange presents with business people
because ...
A) you could be suspected of
dishonesty.
B) they are already well-paid.
C) it is not a business tradition
in the U.S.
D) it is against the law.
E) it is regarded as alms
36- The writer states that when you travel abroad, you …....
A) are expected to bring back
souvenirs for close friends.
B) you shouldn't bring back
souvenirs.
C) aren’t expected to bring
anything back.
D) people would be annoyed if
you gave them a souvenir.
E) you should buy big presents
for your parents.
37- It can be inferred from the passage that a gift from a
foreigner which is typical of his or her homeland, would...
A) be unwelcome.
B) annoy the receiver.
C) cause embarrassment.
D) be received with pleasure.
E) cause misunderstanding
among other people

If there's one thing we're good at, it’s shopping. We love shopping in the States, and we have huge shopping malls which are designed for two aims to give us the greatest possible choice of things to buy, and to separate us from our money. But
we like to be relaxed when we go shopping, so the staff is there to help us choose if we need it, but they don’t usually bother us unless we're looking confused. In fact in small stores, the price is always clearly marked on the product, and that's the price you pay. Sometimes, like at Christmas, the sales clerks will wrap our presents in special seasonal wrapping paper, but
usually they just put things in a bag. And at
supermarkets, cashiers don’t wrap groceries up
individually, they usually put them all in large, brown
paper bags, strong enough to take a lot of groceries. The staff are always friendly and make small talk about the weather and things like that, and then as we leave, they usually say goodbye and "Have a nice day!" 38- According to the passage the
aim of shopping is ……….
A) to make people get relaxed
B) to let people save their
money
C) to force people to buy
something cheap.
D) to let people choose the
best for them from different alternatives
E) to put different alternatives
to people so that they get confused and buy all of them.

A) are marked on the labels
that cannot be changed.

markets

centres.

but you pay the half of it at Christmas

B) supermarkets generally
have small bags
C) at Christmas the presents
are wrapped
D) the staff generally deals
with clothes and things that are sold
