Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

 

   In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist.

   Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as cultural in origin.

   Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people’s behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.

   Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.

It can be inferred from paragraph 3 that conflict results when .................. 

A. people think cultural differences are personal

B. people compete with those from other cultures

C. one culture is more invisible than another culture.

D. some people recognize more cultural differences than others.

Dịch đoạn văn: Trong hầu hết những cuộc thảo luận về sự đa dạng văn hóa, sự chú ý chỉ tập trung vào những khía cạnh rõ ràng, nhìn thấy được như ngôn ngữ, trang phục, thức ăn, tôn giáo, âm nhạc và những nghi lễ mang tính xã hội.

Mặc dù chúng rất quan trọng, những sự thể hiện văn hóa có thể nhận thấy này, được dạy một cách có chọn lọc và được học một cách có ý thức, cũng chỉ là bề nổi của văn hóa. Còn rất nhiều thứ về văn hóa được dạy và học một cách âm thầm, hoặc không hề nhận thức được. Vì vậy, cả những người nghiên cứu hay không nghiên cứu về văn hóa cũng không thể nhận thức được rằng những mặt không thể nhìn thấy nhất định của nền văn hóa của họ có tồn tại.

Những thành phần không nhìn thấy của văn hóa rất quan trọng với chúng ta. Ví dụ, chúng ta có thể đến muộn bao lâu trước khi bị coi là bất lịch sự, chủ đề nào chúng ta nên tránh trong các cuộc trò chuyện, chúng ta nên thể hiện sự quan tâm hoặc chú ý như thế nào qua cách lắng nghe, chúng ta coi cái gì là đẹp, là xấu - đây là tất cả những khía cạnh của văn hóa mà chúng ta học và sử dụng mà không nhận thức được nó. Khi chúng ta gặp những người khác mà cách thể hiện văn hóa không nhìn thấy của họ khác với cái chúng ta học một cách âm thầm, chúng ta thường không nhận ra cách cư xử của họ như văn hóa truyền thống.

Sự khác biệt về văn hóa không được nhìn thấy có thể gây ra những vấn đề trong các mối quan hệ liên văn hóa. Những xung đột có thể phát sinh khi chúng ta không thể nhận ra sự khác biệt về hành vi của người khác là mang tính văn hóa chứ không phải mang tính cá nhân. Chúng ta có xu hướng hiểu sai hành vi của người khác, buộc tội họ, hoặc phán xét ý định, khả năng của họ mà không nhận ra rằng chúng ta đang trải nghiệm sự khác biệt về văn hóa chứ không phải sự khác biệt của cá nhân.

Những tổ chức và cơ quan chính thống, như trường học, bệnh viện, nơi làm việc, chính phủ, và hệ thống hợp pháp chính là những nơi tập hợp của sự khác biệt văn hóa không nhìn thấy. Nếu những sự khác biệt này dễ nhận thấy hơn, chúng ta đã có thể có ít sự hiểu lầm hơn. Ví dụ, nếu chúng ta gặp một người đàn ông ở tòa án mà đang mặc bộ quần áo kì lạ, nói một ngôn ngữ không giống chúng ta, mang theo thức ăn trông kì lạ, chúng ta cũng không thề cam đoan là chúng ta hiểu được suy nghĩ và tình cảm của anh ta hay anh ta hiểu về chúng ta.

Thế nhưng khi một người đàn ông như vậy mặc quần áo giống chúng

Ý chính: Khi sự khác biệt rõ ràng ngay từ đầu chúng ta ít hiểu nhầm hơn. Ví dụ một người có bề ngoài khác mình, nói ngôn ngữ khác mình thì ta sẽ không cho là mình hiểu được anh ta hay anh ta hiểu được mình. Nhưng nếu một người vẻ ngoài có vẻ không khác, lại nói chung ngôn ngữ thì ta sẽ cho rằng mình hiểu được anh ta. Tuy nhiên, quan niệm mới là cái quyết định hành vi, do đó dù cho vẻ ngoài giống nhưng quan niệm vô hình lại khác biệt thì mâu thuẫn từ đó sẽ dễ dàng xảy ra

When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin.

           Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.

           Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.
