IV Read the reading passage and choose the item among A, B, C, or D that best answer the question about the passage:
Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country However, this is not necessarily true Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country
Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is true
In a study recently carried out in Britain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical
of Britain and would interest a foreign visitor there.Most mentioned Shakespeare; the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interest of ordinary British people: (They are, in fact, simply stereotype- that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical.) What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of other culture be!
36 If we stay a long in a foreign country,………
A We will sometimes forget about culture of own country
B We can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country
C We will usually realise our own ignorance about its culture
D We can seldom find out anything at all about its culture
37 It is hard to learn about a country’s culture from books because such books………
A concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture B exaggerate national character
C take no notice of culture difference D contain little information about future
38 When we asked about their own culture, many British people……
A argue they knew little about British culture B said themselves were not typical of British people
39 It is easy to………
A know a lot a bout your own country’ culture B know the culture of the other countries
C give exact information about your own country D describe stereotype of your country
40 The things that are typical of Britain are……
A Shakespeare and the Queen
B Shakespeare; the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper
