IV COMPREHENSION READING
Read the following passage Choose one best answer (A, B, C or D)
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 realized 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 untrue
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 are 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!
32 If we stay a long time in a foreign country, _
A we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country
B we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country
C we usually realize our own ignorance about its culture
D we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture
33 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
34 When asked about their own culture, many British people
A argued they knew little about British culture
B said they themselves were not typical of British people
C gave incorrect answers
D were surprised by the question asked
35 It is easy to _
A know a lot about your own country’s culture
B know the culture of other countries
C give exact information about your own country
D describe stereotype of your country
