Everyone has experienced that feeling of being socially or culturally "off balance" at some stage. It happens when we enter unfamiliar cultural environments and find that things are strange or different. For example, it can occur when a person begins a new job. Until an employee can operate comfortably and successfully within the social and cultural environment of a new workplace, he cannot be fully effective.
Knowing about the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds of our customers and colleagues will not automatically rule out misunderstandings. However, if we do know something about it, we can often take steps to prevent misunderstandings from occurring. It is a matter of being aware of when, where and why a misunderstanding may occur.
There may be a language barrier that can make clear communication difficult. The way we communicate is a common cause of misunderstanding. For example, jokes often rely on a creative use of language and sometimes these can be interpreted in many ways, which may be confusing or even offensive.
Non-verbal behavior and body language can be a source of misunderstanding. For example, eye contact can be considered by some people as overly long and therefore rude.
Addressing customers by their first names may not always be inappropriate. Check with your customers how they like to be addressed.
People from different religious or cultural backgrounds or with personal preferences may have specific dietary requirements. Check their requirements when determining any food menus. Offering alcohol to guests whose religion doesn't allow them to enjoy can create a tense situation at the beginning of a meal.If a new employee doesn't perform highly effective, which can be a reason？ ______ A. He can't understand the working rules well.
B. He is not satisfied with his new occupation.
C. He is not familiar with the new working environment.
D. He usually fails to operate the equipment successfully.What can a knowledge of the diversity of traditional and cultural backgrounds do？ ______ A. Clear up misunderstandings.
B. Help prevent misunderstandings.
C. Tell us how to predict misunderstandings.
D. Remind us of the existence of misunderstandings.What would make jokes confusing or even offensive？ ______ A. Rude words used. B. Poor translation.
C. Different understanding. D. Creative thought in them.Which of the following is a proper way to avoid cultural misunderstanding？ ______ A. Use as little body language as possible.
B. Avoid making eye contact when talking.
C. Address customers always by their first names.
D. Offer your guests food according to their requirements.CWe have a tendency to think highly of mankind's impressive complex inventions. But sometimes, it's the simple technologies that truly change the world. These little-known inventions maybe don't appear incredibly complex at first glance, but they improved the lives of countless people.
A smokeless solar cooker for developing countries
The problem： Cooking in the developing world often requires large amounts of costly fuel and creates harmful smoke.
The solution： The Infinity Bakery and other similar solar ovens aim to reduce disease and save energy by offering an affordable, sun-powered cooker to developing communities. The oven, which concentrates the sun's rays, is made from recycled oil drums, wood, bamboo and clay, so it can be produced locally and quickly.
Water pipes that monitor their own leaks
The problem： We lose between ＄12.5 million and ＄92 million worth of clean drinking water every year in the U.S. due to leaking pipes, according to a 2005 study by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
The solution： "Smart Pipe" technology, which is still in development, would use sensors to monitor leaks in public water systems, making our water use more efficient. If brought to scale, this type of innovation could help communities detect leaks when they occur, and fix them early.
A shower that reuses its own water
The problem： Showers waste a tremendous amount of water and require a huge amount of energy. Every year, 1.2 trillion gallons of water are used to shower in the U.S. alone, according to the EPA.
The solution： The OrbSys shower promises to reduce water use by 90 percent and energy use by 80 percent. The OrbSys recycles shower water by pumping it through a filter in a closed-loop system, and the clean water that comes out of the filter only needs to be reheated minimally. The device could result in dramatic water and energy savings if used on a large scale.Why is the Infinity Bakery fit for developing countries？ ______ A. This kind of oven can be easily made and costs little.
B. There is much more sunlight in developing countries.
C. It can produce more food without giving off smoke.
D. Developing world is rich in the materials to make it.What can we know about the Smart Pipe？ ______ A. It is used in developing countries.
B. It saves water by recycling.
C. It has not been put into practice.
D. It can fix the leaks by itself.What is the similarity of the three inventions in the text？ ______ A. Energy-saving. B. Sun-powered.
C. Water-based. D. Environment-friendly.What is the best title for the text？ ______ A. New Ways Found to Protect Environment
B. Simple Inventions to Change the World
C. Developing World Benefits from New Inventions
D. Modern Technology Improves Living ConditionDThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people leading to them becoming more isolated（隔绝） and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation（导航） tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains： "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to." Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems."
"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解决方案） to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."What is the purpose of the DriveLAB？ ______ A. To explore new means of transport.
B. To design new types of cars.
C. To find out older driver's problems.
D. To teach people traffic rules.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？ ______ A. It keeps them independent.
B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength.
D. It cures their mental illnesses.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？ ______ A. Improve their driving skills.
B. Develop driver-assist technologies.
C. Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D. Organize regular physical checkups.二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Some people succeed, while others do not.（1） ______ The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic.
