The Impact of an Out-of-class Autonomous Reading Program on Chinese Secondary Learners’ Autonomy and Second LanguageDevelopmentThe background of out- of – class Autonomous ReadingReading ability, as one of the four basic language skills, plays a very important role in students’English learning. Reading ability can help students expand their knowledge, improve their reading strategies, and it also contributes to the development of listening, writing and speaking skills. Reading is not only provides opportunities for the students to acquire language, but also a beneficial way to foster students’ ability of autonomy learning. According to Krashen’s (1982:9; 1985:15) Input Hypothesis, comprehensible input is necessary in Second Language Acquisition. Being exposed to a lot of meaningful, interesting and relevant second language input is the key factor that is conducive to the development of second language. Henri Holec (1981: 3) defines learner autonomy as “the ability to take charge of one’s own learning”, this ability has “a potential capacity to act in a given situation”. Shu (2011: 5-8), when proposing four basic functions of FLT classroom instruction, emphasizing fostering learner autonomy as one of the major pedagogical objectives.Autonomous reading skill is one of the basic requirements for the L2 learners in the Chinese context. It is also what the L2 teachers exert almost all efforts to build for the L2 learners. in this paper, the author discusses out – of – class autonomous reading to experimental class to cultivate the students’ autonomous reading skillsTherefore, in the Junior Middle School stage, pay attention to the training of students’reading ability is very necessary. And the extra-curriculum English reading is a good way to improve the reading ability. Extra-curriculum English reading design with wide range of subjects to arouse students’ interest in reading, and can also cultivate students’ autonomous reading ability. Thus lay the foundation for the future learning.Research Questions:1.Does the out- of –class autonomous reading program help the students to develop learnerautonomy?2.Can out-of-class autonomous reading program improve participants’ reading proficiency?3.Can out-of-class autonomous reading program improve participants’ reading strategy?4.Can out-of-class autonomous reading program improve participants’general languageproficiency?Research Design:Participants:The participants in this study were 115 Level 8 students from Huanan Experimental School, who were randomly assigned to the experimental group (N =58 ) and the control group (N=57 ). Reading strategies training was carried out in the experimental class and teaching practices to promote learner autonomy were also introduced and implemented in and out of their class. Thecontrolled class received traditional way of teaching reading.Measurement:(1)Learner background questionnaire(2)Learner autonomy scale(3)Reading proficiency(4)Reading strategy(5)General proficiency(6)Exit questionnaireBefore carrying out the new way of reading, a questionnaire was distributed to the students to gain an overall picture of the subjects’understanding and readiness of autonomy in learning management EFL out- of – class reading. It aims to identify what difficulty the students have, how they read and what their interest really is. questionnaire is composed of two parts, Part One includes the personal information with name, age, sex and English Examination Score; Part two contains a number of questions to be answered on a five-likert scale. To avoid misunderstanding, the subjects received the questionnaire presented in Chinese.The Experiment procedure:After a long practice in English teaching, the author found cultivating Junior students’English reading skills only through textbooks can’t satisfy students’ requirements and achieve the goal of the Junior English Curriculum Standard. But English Newspapers such as Times are the supplement to textbook. The newspaper reading program is introduced into the English class. The program includes two parts: in- class reading and after- class reading.1) Choosing the appropriate reading materials: Compared to the current textbooks, English newspapers have the following distinctive characteristics: up- to – date content, authentic language, various materials close to students’ life etc. It is obvious that Times are excellent reading material for training reading strategies.2) After – class reading is mainly cooperative learning (divide the students into groups of five or six), the students can make notes (the important new words, good sentences and rewriting one favourite passage). Moreover, their reading interest is further aroused by means of: enhancing the students’ awareness of the importance of efficient reading.3) In – class reading (demo – class), the author should establish effective ways of evaluation. In demo- class, the students are encouraged to show their notes about reading newspapers once a week, practice reading strategies, enlarge their own and other student s’ vocabulary and the target cultural background.Data collection and AnalysisThe data collected from questionnaires, pre- test and post – test are analyzed with SPSS (v.22). It aims to test whether the students’ English reading ability can be improved by cultivating the good reading habit. The results are supposed to lead to the following findings:1) The students in the experimental class have greater progress in reading comprehension achievement test than those in the control class and the participants’ learner autonomy has been enhanced.2) After the experiment, the students in the experimental class were more interested in learning. They were more willing to take part in the demo- class.。
Interpretation Training Test Paper ( A)I. English to Chinese (50%)Passage One (25%):The second thing we have to discuss today is pricing. When you go into the French market you need to consider how you’re going to price your product and there are t wo main issues that need to be looked at. One is what your competitors are pricing their product at, because you cannot price your product three or four times the price of your competitors. The second issue is that all of these product modifications, as you said, cost money. And you need to factor in the extra costs. So typically, an American product selling in the French market might be priced at about 125% of US price. Or more.Passage Two (25%):From my experience of working in the UK and in Germany, I’d like to make some comparisons based on the differences I’ve noticed. Firstly, the level of language skill is different. I was very much impressed at the way in which most executives in the German company could not just speak English well, but read it and write it and communicate effectively, compared with the very poor language abilities displayed by my English colleagues. Secondly, there are also significant differences in the approach to doing business. Germany is much more formal in the way that people conduct business. For example, there is very little use of first names. But more handshakes. It’s a custom that’s almost withered away in Britain but in Germany it’s quite correct to greet people in the morning with a handshake.II. Chinese to English (50%)Passage one (25%):总理您好,我是香港南华早报的记者。

The past decade has seen Motorola seize the opportunities opened up by changes in China and build itself into one of the most successful American investors in the country.With a firm commitment and substantial investment, we promote technological progress in China. By doing so, Motorola’s brand has become a household nam e in China. We have laid a lot of groundwork, and helped China to implement its own strategy.

language teacher.Firstly, a good language teacher should have ethic devotion. The teacher should be a model and set agood ex ample to his students because most students would be influenced by their teacher’s behaviorunconsciously. A teacher with extreme high level of morality often has a potent and positive effect on hisstudents, rather than those with high teaching standard. So a good language teacher should show their moralquality as well as their knowledge. To be specific, a good language teacher should be fair, not only should he be fair to his students, such as treats them equally, and “partiality” is forbidden, but he sh ould properly regard the conflicts between different cultures. Besides, he should be kind and ready to help his students both in study and life. What’s more, he should be enthusiastic to his students, and has full passion for his teaching; he should be caring to his students, sometimes, only a caring look, a trusting encouragement, or a mild smile from the teacher is enough to touch the students’ hearts. In addition, hard-working and attentive are necessary for a good language teacher. We should recognize the great value of the teachers who have ethic devotion during the students’ development.Secondly, a good teacher should have personal styles. A good teacher makes learning not a dull thing buta great joy. Many teachers always keep talking about the textbook all the time so that the students feel itdifficult to focus their attentions on what the teacher are saying. As a result, the gap between teachers andstudents enlarges. Supposing the language teacher has distinct personal style during the teaching, thisproblem can be solved. For example, he can make his teaching dynamic by body languages, ordemonstrating performance; he can be patient enough and never give up any student, even though some ofthem are really mischievous and indocile; he can be creative, teaches in creative ways and encourage hisstudents to be creative and open-minded. Meanwhile, a good language teacher can be discipline and authoritative, he should be strict with students when it’s necessary. It’s important to find his unique person al styles when a teacher is teaching.Last but not least, a good language teacher should have professional qualities. A professional languageteacher should be capable enough in your own language ability. He should obtain the capability to havelanguage usage well in hand, and an excellent command of western culture. If so, he can be more knowledgeable and informed. What’s more, a good language teacher should be versatile, especially in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It can help students to enhance the focus on realistic communication. Moreover, a good language teacher should be equipped with profession and armed with a range of skills, strategies and information. Before he gives his students a glass of water, he should have a barrel of it. He should grasp a large scope of knowledge of language and take the essence of it, then transfer it to his students. Besides, a good language teacher should be skilled in lesson planning and class management. He should be reflective and keep on reflecting on his classes and his methods of teaching, and in this way he could make progress quickly; he should be resourceful, and have a quick response to the emergency. In addition, I think the most important duty of a teacher is get experience about teaching, which is called the experiential knowledge, and after a long period of practice and reflection, he would be able to develop his professional competence, which is the most important and difficult part of being a good language teacher. In addition, a good teacher should be a life-long learner, and make sure that he keeps improving himself in his professional field, and he should always test himself by the feedback from his students, and reflect on his work. As the society develops at an amazing speed now, the students today are quite different: they are more independent, and demand a higher standard for teachers, which is a challenge for us. So we should try our best to improve ourselves, and try to be as good a teacher as we can.As the students of an normal university, besides learning the knowledge of being a good language teacher,we should have our own mind, practice our teaching skills and methods. For this part, I’d like to share myopinion about my plan for language teaching profession.………………………………(密)………………………………(封)………………………………(线)………………………………密 封 线 内 答 题 无 效So, what we expect from our language teachers? Capable, humorous, responsible, kind and so on. However, these words can’t form a system to judge a teacher.Firstly, being a good language teacher, what the premise is being a good teacher, and this refers to s ome moral requirements. There is a Chinese saying goes that “Teachers are engineers of the soul.” This suggests that teachers are responsible for our all-round development. As a role model, they not only cure our hearts but also set examples for us. When we were students, we expect our teachers have some characters such as fairness, kindness, and sense of duty. A teacher with extreme high level of morality often has a potent and positive effect on his students, rather than those with high teaching standard. Sometimes just a sentence accidentally comes out of a teacher’s mouth may influence a student’s whole life. As a language teacher, especially, when we talk about “fairness”, not only do we refer to be fair to every student and don’t isolate some certain o ne, but also should we properly regard the conflicts between different cultures. Even though we have our own opinions, judgments, or even discrimination, however, avoiding saying some radical words and treating cultures equally is the correct way. In conclusion, a responsible teacher should aim for integrated development of students, not only in knowledge, skills and abilities, but also in values, attitudes and emotions. Secondly, a professional language teacher should be capable enough in your own language ability and to influence positively on your students. As to yourself, you should obtain the capability to have language usage well in hand, and an excellent command of western culture. You can not be more knowledgeable and informed.Besides, you’d bette r be versatile, especially in the four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. As we all know, students always use English as a tool. So, the utility function is urgently needed. And these four skills help to enhance the focus on realistic communication, which isessential in developing students’ competence in English. Moreover, a good language teacher should be equipped with profession and armed with a range of skills, strategies and information. Before you give your students a glass of water, you should have a barrel of it. You should grasp a large scope of knowledge of language and take the essence of it, then transfer it to your students. What’s more, you’d better let your students dip into literature works and train them to have a western way of thinking, which encourage them to involve in the western culture. But these are not enough. You also should be skilled in lesson planning and class management. It is essential to make the class lively and to let all the students engage in the class. And these requirements need your high level of profession and your own personal charisma. Students like humorous and charming teachers with strong attraction. And even in some dull academic courses, which are hard to make the class lively, you’d better prov ide some jokes related to the course to make students interested.Finally, I think a more important duty of a teacher is to be a guide, who protects students’ interest and cultivate their self-learning skills. Capable teachers should have the awareness to develop their independent spirit, which is also helpful to students’ personal life and future. A good teacher should teach his or her students “how to teach” rather than “give them fish”. You help them to discover their own way to learn the language, and lead them to find the fittest rules and patterns for themselves. Instead of waiting for the teacher to teach them, they should be taught to be active to look for every chance in using English, such as communicate with others, and speak to foreigners. Above all, good teachers should be organized and ready for their students. As a leader, or a “consultant”, raising students’ interest in language and train them to own the independent learning skills is the most valuable things to do.Ideally, a good language teacher should be excellent both in his or her professional competence and communicative competence. As to professional competence, we should be familiar to the threestages: learning, practice and reflection. As to communicative competence, we should be qualified at real language use. Nowadays, the significance of English is raised rapidly and the pace of the world speeds up, we teachers should keep processing to make us more knowledgeable and professional.From the character analysis, I have a better understanding of myself. The following are my weaknesses: I am not good at saying no to others. Because I am willing to please or help others so I don’t want to make them disappointed. As a result, sometimes, I will have difficulty forming my own opinion. I am a littleconservative and shy to try new method. I am a sensitive person. I do care much about others’ opinion on me. I need appreciation and courage to move forward. I focus so much on details that I often ignore the whole perspective. I lack of patience. I lack of teaching practice and experience. According to these weaknesses, I draw a plan to resolve it. Here are some measures to take to improve where I am currently weak or notstrong enough. I should be independent and form my own opinion on things, especially on teaching I need to be more patient when doing things. When doing the teaching work, I should be patient with the students. For example, I should listen to them with patience and help them solve their problems. I should focus on the whole perspective and have a long-term vision. When difficulties occur in daily teaching, I need to stay calm and don’t be so anxious. Do not feel disappointed and lose heart when the students don’t understand me and don’t make much progress on their study even i f I have paid a lot. I should have a long-term vision and be confident of myself as well as my students. To put more effort in my teaching job and try to help the students develop their overall ability. I need to do more teaching practices to improve my teaching skills and ability. I will make full use of the coming internship to practice teaching and to improve my capacity of teaching. Moreover, I will often reflect my teaching and write teaching diary to make self-assessment after teaching. I should focus on myself and do things in my unique way. Do not care so much about others’ opinion on me. To form my own way of teaching. To be a unique English teacher. Try to solve problems in a new way. I should update my teaching concepts timely. I should try new way to deal with teaching work. To keep on learning and keep pace with the development.The teachers play a key role in education. Teachers’ responsibilities are not only to teach the knowledge to students , but even more important is to teach the students how to be a good man in the society. Therefore, a teacher should have many good qualities. Especially under the full implementation of the new curriculum reform, teachers should improve themselves to keep pace with the trend. How can I become a goodEn glish teacher? From the analysis above, I’m much clearer now about the qualities I need to become a good English teacher in the near future. Not only do I need professional competence, but I also need to improve my personal qualities and moral standards. I should love my future teaching career and be dedicated and devoted to it. Learning is an endless voyage. So I need to keep on learning and updating education concepts to keep pace with the development of the society.。

Chapter 1Section A1.Why is Elle Woods considered diverse by Harvard Law School? And why is Elle Woods admitted by Harvard Law School ? What can we learn from it about American culture?Elle Woods is considered diverse by Harvard Law School because she’s a fashion major and her practices out of class are quite different from other students, who are usually politics, history or philosophy majors、Elle Woods was admitted by Harvard Law School mainly because they are looking for diverse students like Elle、From it, we can learn that American educational system encourages the development of individuality、Furthermore, we can also realize that culture shapes people’s discourse and behaviors, which influences the communication between people、2.Discuss in groups the strengths and weaknesses of the American and Chinese education systems、Present your ideas to the whole class after your discussion、American education system emphasize that students should be diverse and take part in a lot of social practice, which contributes to the all-round development of students、However, American students usually lose in the competition with Chinese students because they don’t highlight the test skills、By contrast, Chinese education is a exam-oriented education, which put the exam at first、Therefore, Chinese students are often good at exam but lack experience of social practice and don’t know how to communicate with strangers、3.Why do Chinese and Americans develop different education systems? What are the cultural factors underlying the differences?The cultural difference generates the different education system between America and China、American culture is characteristic of opening and highlights social practice while Chinese culture is rigorous and highlights the role of parents and teachers、In this sense, students should respect for and obey their command and pay all attention to exam in terms of fierce competition、Section C1.Why did Zhao say ‘America is a good place, but it’s too dull’? What can we learn about Chinese culture?When his son went to work, Zhao was quite lonely and didn’t have any friends、This kind of life was much different from his farming life in China, where he had many friends and neighbors around, talking, drinking tea and playing mabjong together during the leisure time、Chinese culture is a group-oriented culture, where people would like to interact with each other、2.Why did most Chinese families decide to grow vegetables instead of flowers on their land?What can we learn about Chinese culture?Chinese people are very diligent and thrifty、For them, it is wasteful to use land to raise flowers、Chinese culture which is characteristic of collectivism is a guideline that shapes Chinese behaviors、3.Culture is often compared to the ‘software’ of people’ mind、Cite the examples in this case to explain the sentence、When Zhao was in American, he was very lonely and had no friend、That summer was the happiest time for him because he could communicate with his friends、From this example, we can learn that culture governs people’s mind and determines whether they are happy or not、Another example is the choice of Chinese families to grow vegetables、From it, we can learn that culture governs people’s behavior and provides guidelines for what to do and what not to do、Chapter 2Section A1.In the movie, Jonathan wants to get Sara’s phone number, but their process of communication fails、What elements go wrong in this process?When Sara gives her phone number to Jonathan, the paper is blown into a trash、Jonathan takes it as an accident, but Sara regards it as a sign of fate, which is telling her not to develop their relationship、Their different outlook to life causes the breakdown of the process of communication、2.In the movie, how many things does Sara do in order to test fate? And what are they? What do you think of these behaviors?Three things、The first one is that Sara asks Jonathan to write down his phone number on a $5 bill and spends the bill in a little grocery store、The second one is that she promises to write down her number inside a book and sell it to a used bookstore、The third one is that she asks Jonathan to get into a hotel with her and proposes that she and Jonathan pick the same floor in the lift randomly、I think Sara believes in fate and regard the fate as the foundation of feelings、3.A famous anthropologist once said that ‘Culture is communication and communication is culture、’ Do you agree? Why or why not?Yes、Because people in different cultures have different contexts, which influence how they communicate、In this case, Sara with a belief of fate can’t communicate with Jonathan not believing fate very well、Furthermore communication may be culture, because people often communicate with each other will have the same interest, habits and beliefs, which create thenew culture、Section C1.What the mode of communication favored by Asians? What cultural values underlie it?Asian people are very courteous and indirect in the communication、Because they emphasize group harmony, they ere tolerant when they are offended、These collectivism values, shaped by Confucian teachings, were spread from China to many Asian countries、2.What is the mode of communication favored by Westerners? What cultural values underlie it?Westerners are direct and frank in the communication、And they have s strong sense of protecting their own rights、Individualism values are the principles guiding their behaviors、3. 同上面3Chapter 3Section A1.In the hearing, why does Xu Datong invite John to be his lawyer although John is not familiar with family law? What can you learn from it about Chinese culture?Xu Datong invited John to be his lawyer because John was his best friend、In his opinion, Chinese usually ask their intimate relationship for help to solve some intractable problems as this kind of relationship will make more effort to help you、Hence, we know that China is a collectivism society and Chinese people usually emphasize interdependence and collective relations、2.Why doesn’t John defend Xu Datong in the hearing? What can we learn from this about Chinese culture?From the photos, John spontaneously considered that Dennis was abused by his father, which was illegal in America、That's why John rejected to defend Xu Datong、From it, we can see that in America, people are attached importance to the truth and law rather than to the interpersonal relationship, which is the most obvious characteristic of an individualism society and is different from a collectivism society、3.Why does Xu Datong tell the judge he performed Guasha on Dennis? What can we learn from this about Chinese culture?On Chinese' view, the young man is the brace of a family and he should be responsible for the whole family、Although Dennis' injury was created by his grandfather in fact, Xu Datong realized that he should shoulder the responsibility according to Chinese traditional culture、4.Who shall we ask for help when we get into legal troubles, our relatives and friends or a lawyer?I would like to ask the lawyers for help when I get into legal troubles、On the one hand, lawyers understand the laws and regulations and they know how to use laws to debate while your friends or relations who are willing to help you are possibly not familiar to laws、In fact, lawyers are useful in dealing with legal troubles than your friends and relatives、On the other hand, the fact and evidence are more emphasized in modern society、When the justice judged the legal cases and make the verdicts, they will notice the evidence and truth rather than persons、Section C1.Could you understand why Mile called the police? What can we learn about American culture and Chinese culture?Mike called the police because his grandmother beat him which was forbidden in America、In China, 'beating' is a regular and popular way to educate children、It is a commonsense、'Beating' can date back to ancient Chinese education when the teachers gave serious punishment to students doing something wrong、In America, 'beating' is forbidden and illegal、Parents always use mild methods such as persuasion or suggestion to educate their children、Meanwhile American children realize their right to protect themselves, which is influenced by freedom and equality propagated by The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizens、2.Why couldn’t Xue Suling carry out her original plan of Chinese language teaching? What can we learn Learning about American culture and Chinese culture?Chinese is very difficult, especially in speaking and writing、It must have an environment of Chinese language and substantial practices、However, Mike and Xue Suling didn't have these conditions、In China, children’ s learning is manipulated by the teachers and parents and perhaps monitored for the whole day、In America, children should learn how to be independent of their parents from the moment they are born、They arrange their own studies、Therefore, Xue Suling can't carry out her original plan、From it, we could realize that American highlight individual rights, which is the same as other individualism countries and areas、Chapter 4Section A1.Discuss the image of the whale as a symbol of nature, and Captain Ahab’s attitude towards it、The whale is a symbol of the nature, is a concrete embodiment of the powerful nature、Nature is rich and generous, it is a treasure for humans, providing humans with food and clothes、If losing it, humans will die、Nature is also stingy, it never gives something to humans on its own initiative, humans rely on plundering(掠夺)it to get what they want、Captain Ahab is the representative of human、He is a person with strength and perseverance as well as craziness, selfish and arrogance、He fights against the whale parallel to the behavior that people conquer the nature、For him ,the mission is holy and historic、In fact, human are confused a questionwhether the nature is friend or enemy, but the conflict between human and nature is inevitable、Section C1.What can we learn about Mexican culture from the reward system of PAMEX?From this case, we learn that the Mexican culture is reserved and group-oriented、It highlights the group harmony and interpersonal relationships、2.What can we learn about American culture from the reward system USAHP?The American culture is more individualistic, result-oriented and analytic、3.How do you explain the phenomenon in this case, applying the theory of the relationship between humans? What cultural differences caused the resistance of the local staff in PAMEX after the acquisition?Because of the radically cultural differences between the American management and the Mexican staff, it was a challenge for the American management to accept for the Mexican staff and pay attention to the fundamental values in human relationship under Mexican circumstances、4.If you were one of the managers from USAHP, concerning the local culture, what measures will you take to promote the motivation of the original staff in PAMEX?If I was one of the managers from USAHP, I would like to respect and promote the culture and philosophy of the original staff in PAMEX、With the merge and acquisition, the culture clash became increasingly obvious、If the company wanted to manage the PAMEX and its employees, it should observe the original cultures、It should glorify and support that PAMEX promoted, rewarded and retained employees based on their loyalty to the firm and to their immediate supervisors, and on interpersonal connections、Approving the cultures and customs of the original staff in PAMEX, they would be promoted to work hard and contribute to the company USAHP、Chapter 5Section C1.What can we learn from the first case? Use Hofstede’s ‘Uncertainty avoidance’ dimension to explain your answer、‘Uncertainty avoidance’ indicates how much a society feels threatened by ambiguous situations and tries to avoid them by providing rules, believing in absolute truths, and refusing to tolerate deviance、Some cultures, such as Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Japan and Spain are averse to the unknown、Such cultures emphasize uniformity and dislike deviance、Such cultures may be rather emotional in the process of gathering information、Foreign teachers need detailed instructions、They hope to reduce the ambiguity in their expectations for the working in China、Thus they turn to Chinese officials to tell them exactly their responsibility, rights, the regulations, the available facilities, the accommodations、Such information helps reduce the anxiety、2.If you are in America, what will you do to get a book you need? What can we learn from this case? Use Hofstede’s ‘individualism-collectivism’ dimension to explain your answer、According to Hofstede’s research, collectivist cultures tend to be Asian and Latin American, while the individualistic cultures are North American and European、Collectivist cultures emphasize common interest, cooperation, conformity and inter-dependence、They have tight social framework, where people help each other、The in-group includes one’s family, relatives, acquaintances, friends, classmates and colleagues、In individualistic cultures, people highlight their own needs、They emphasize more ‘I’ than ‘we’、Thus, if an American wants to borrow a book from another library, he would directly consult the staff working at the library to see whether the library is available to him、Then, he will inquire the procedures for obtaining books from that library、He will not ask his friends for help、In China, however, one would first try to find someone he knows to help him、3.What does ‘friend’ mean to Chinese? What does ‘friend’ mean to Americans?According to Hofstede’s research, America ranked No、1 in individualism worldwide、Americans respect other privacy and maintain certain distance、Even friends should try not to be very demanding、If friends ask for help, they should make their requests reasonable、While Chinese belong to community, so friends have a closer relationship、One encountering some troubles, wants his friend to help him、In China, friends are the people that one can depend on and trust、Chapter 6Section A1.Why is the meaning of ‘I like your sweater’ very clear in the West?In the West, the meaning of the sentence ‘I like your sweater’ is very clear because of thelow-context style of communication, in which most of the information in the communication is transmitted in the verbal speech、2.Why is the meaning of ‘I like your sweater’ very clear In Asian societies?In Asian societies, the meaning of the ‘I like your sweater’ is not clear because of thehigh-context style of communication, in which people may transmit a large amount information in the context rather than in verbal speech、3.What are the differences between Chinese and Western culture? What are the differences between Chinese and Western language?Chinese culture is a typical high-context culture in which people’s communication is indirect and tentative、Sometimes they don’t really mean what they say simply、Western culture is a low-context culture in which people’s communication is direct and frank、For example, if a westerner say that he likes the painting, he only express an appreciation while Chinese may mean he wants to have one、Section C1.Did my daughter really mean it when she refused her Filipino classmate’s offer? What can we learn about the culture? Use Hall’s culture context model to illustrate it、No, she didn’t really mean it、She wanted to have a hamburger very much、She refuse her classmate’s offer just because she was Chinese、She knew the hamburger was quite expensive, so she didn’t want to ask a favor of her classmate、If she had done so, she would have thought she had taken financial advantage of her classmate、Chinese culture is a typical high-contextculture in which people’s communication is indirect and tentative、Sometimes they don’t really mean what they say simply、2.What makes the Filipino girl consider the invitation as genuine? What can wen learn about her culture? Use Hall’s culture context model to illustrate it、Generally, westerners consider an invitation as genuine if it makes a definite time, place and activity、In this case, all three criteria were very clear, so the Filipino girl considered the invitation as genuine, and very happy to accept it、She didn’t know her Chinese classmate extended the offer just out of courtesy、For people of low-context cultures, who adopt the direct and frank communication, they must pay attention to discerning the real intentions of those of high-context cultures、Chapter 7Section A1.Why Eliza was so bad in spite of her successful performance at the party、Eliza got better education performed well in order to lure Higgins who was her teacher and who she liked and expect his concern、However, Higgins ignored exhausted Eliza, only boasted to his friends and celebrated the success, which made Eliza frustrated、Furthermore, Eliza didn’t get ready for the success and was confused about the future、Section C1.Do you think it is necessary to rename the dragon as Chinese symbol? Why?I think it is necessary to rename the dragon as Chinese symbol since the misunderstanding of the Chinese ancient totem 'dragon' has influenced the spread of Chinese culture、For Chinese view, dragon equivalent to emperor symbolizes royal and majesty which receive respect and honor、In western opinion, dragon represents a fearsome, threatening animal、If we want to make westerners have much knowledge of Chinese culture and the ancient totems especially dragon, a symbol for honesty, good fortune, and happiness in the minds of Chinese people, we are supposed to eliminate their prejudice and misunderstanding firstly、Therefore, renaming the dragon is an urgent affair and vital campaign which is associated with the China' s rebuilding the cultural system all over the world、2.Do other animals inspire different associations in China and Western countries?Peacock also inspires different associations in China and Western countries、Chinese believe that the peacock is a symbol of auspicious festival, so people often describe the peacock as beautiful people or things、For example, the ancient Chinese have a love story "the peacock flies to southeast"、The dancer Dao Meilan is famous for dancing "peacock dance", and is known as "peacock princess"、Yang Liping dances a performance called the spirit of "sparrow" beautifully, which is full of praise、Ancient oracle character "Phoenix" has a bunch of beautiful pappus, a long and beautiful tail behind、The overall graphic is a picture of the peacock pictographic drawing completely、The peacock in China since ancient times is regarded as a kind of beauty, auspicious bird、Nevertheless the peacock in the western value has a reverse implication、Westerners believe that the peacock is strutting when walking defiantly and often shows off its beauty by its tail, which is considered as 'proud' and 'vanity' in the west、So the peacock in the west has aderogatory sense、The second explanation of the 'peacock' in American Heritage Dictionary is a megalomania person given to self - display、For example, she strutted like a peacock, looking down her nose at everyone which demonstrates the woman was pride、Chapter 8Section A1.Is different social status the obstacle of true love or marriage?The different social status is the obstacle of true love and marriage、People with different status have different education and different kinds of friends、They have different communications,which create different value and outlook on life、At the same time, they have different interests and habits、If two people have many differences above, they will have controversy and disparity, which lead to disharmonious marriage、Section C1.Can you explain why Joe said, ‘While in China, I sometimes felt like a prisoner?’Because the itinerary arranged by Hong and her department without consulting with Joe was so tight that he had no free time to explore the city and the surrounding area on his own、2.Can you tell the differences between Chinese hospitality and American hospitality?Chinese hospitality features that the host should arrange everything well for the visitor、In the story, Hong and the chair of her department met Joe at the airport, put him up in a nice hotel, arranged a big dinner for him for the evening and gave him the itinerary for the next few days、In fact, Hong spent much time making sure Joe's visit would go smoothly、Similarly, if the visitor comes to China for the first time, Chinese always devise all of the itinerary and require the visitor to complete the visit according to the itinerary、Furthermore, Chinese make these plans which leave no time for the visitor to conduct independently without inquiring the visitor、As the conclusion, the visitor who from other areas especially from western countries would feel grateful for everything at the beginning but annoyed and deprived because of the tight itinerary later、However, westerners prefer to suggest and inquire rather than to make the plans directly、If the visitor needs a guide, they are grateful and honored、Surely, they will ask what you like to go and when you want to get cracking on going there、On the contrary, if you want to enjoy a trip independently, they will respect you and merely suggest some interesting and worthwhile resorts, which makes you feel more relaxed、In brief, Chinese hospitality is enthusiastic but semi-compulsory while American hospitality is more appropriate and relaxing、Chapter 9Section C1、2、Why did the same advertisement succeed in France but fail in Saudi Arabia? Why did the adapted version of the advertisement succeed?Each culture has different understanding of touching、Americans, the English, Germans and Northern Europeans belong to low-touch cultures while Hispanics, people of Eastern European, Italians, the French, Arabs, and Jews are high-touch cultures、Whether considered to be high-or low-touch, defines for its members whom they can touch, as well as when and where they can cannot touch、For example, although the French and Arabs are considered high-touch cultures,the French culture permits a mutual directional touching between men and women while in Arabian cultures, the male do it much more than the female、In France, women touching men frequently is proper, but in Arab it seems that the female is too aggressive which gives a negative impression to the male、In the adapted version, the touching was reduced and neutralized、As a result, the picture in the ads implies that the man is so irresistible that the lady can’t help getting close to him in spite of her awareness of the cultural rule、3.What do you learn from Drakkar Noir’s story?If we want a advertisement to be success in a nation, we should know about the nation’s culture、People raised in different culture would have different viewpoints,which decide whether your advertisement would lure consumers in the nation、In this case, the former advertisement failed because it didn’t follow the nation’s culture, especially the understanding of touching、Therefore, it didn’t lure consumers、However, after it investigated the culture and changed the picture, it succeeded、Chapter 10Section A1.The Indian and American concepts of ‘Time’ reflected in this movie?Americans regard time as a commodity, something to be used, bought, wasted, saved or spent、So they attach much importance to the efficiency of using time and like a fast pace of life、In India, relationship is far more important than schedules and efficiency、People live in a slower and relaxed way、In this movie, Todd is sent to India to get its MPI down from 15 minutes per call to 6、Todd thinks it is not realistic, and his fellow he meet in MacDonnell’s says ‘No way in India、’ By contrast, Puro, the Indian charger, regards an MPI of 12 is already satisfactory、Another point is that Americans are very specific about time, which is different from how Indians treat it、In this movie, Todd argues with Dave about the target MPI:should it be 6、0 or something between 6、0 and 6、59、However, when Todd asks Puro when the glass of his office will arrive, Puro says ‘It’s coming soon、’ In fact, it finally comes three weeks later、Section C1、2、What’s your opinion of the Director’s behavior? How would you explain Katherine’s feeling to the Director?This case is about the culture difference in two different time system namely Monochronic Time and Polychronic Time、The Director follows a Polychronic culture which schedules several activities at the same time、He often breaks the appointments and is more subjected to interruptions、So it is natural for him to keep talking with a Chinese teacher when it is already five minutes past his appointment time with Katherine, and later tolerate interruptions during his talk with her、By contrast, Katherine follows a Monochronic Time system which schedules only one activity at one time, is very specific about the time and efficiency、In this sense, she could not cope with the Director’s conversation with others, especially in Chinese, during her appointment time、Although the Director has realized that his behavior may not seem polite to Katherine and even apologizes to her, his apology doesn’t compensate for her frustration、Chapter 11Section A1.How would you solve Martha’s problem if you were Alex?I would communicate with my father firstly and ask him whether he can change his schedule、If he rejects, I would inquire Martha if she could change her time、If she doesn’t agree, I would consider redecorate the house and divide the house into two spaces or borrow much money from bank to buy a new larger house、Section C1、2、How would you react to Wang Liang’s behavior? Why did Wolfgang get angry?This case is about the cultural differences in the understanding of personal space、Some cultures do not give private, personal space high consideration、Sometimes, fifty Africans can crowd into the same amount of space that holds only twenty North Americans、The reason is that Africans’ sense of personal space suffers no intrusion from crowding and touching、In this sense, Wang Liang, comes from Chinese culture, is not as sensitive about personal space as is his German colleague、He tends to respect for the physical boundaries of personal territory, but pays little attention to less visible invasion、In this sense, he never realize s that his behavior may be regarded as rude、By contrast, Wolfgang’s culture is more sensitive to privacy、The boundary of his personal territory can extend to personal items、Therefore, when he found Wang Liang was reading the newspaper without his permission, he felt an invasion of his private personal space、Chapter 13Section A1.What would you do if you were Viktor at such difficult time?If I was Viktor, I would learn English at first, because it is a tool to communicate and get information, which is important for him in a strange country、Secondly, I would attempt to find a long-time job in order to survive、Thirdly, I would make friends in the country and often communicate with them and explore their behaviors、How they speak and behave rest on the local culture、My final aim is to realize local culture and integrate into the society, which makes me live better in the country、Section C1.Can you explain what is behind the culture shock the girl experienced?There are two shocks、The first one is the difference in terms of study、There is much work in America than in France、In France, the courses cover a particular subject in depth, whereas in America the classes embrace a large range of topics, but more superficially、The classes are more alive than in France、The second one is the difference in terms of technology、The students in America have easier access to computers, allowing them to go to the web for research、In France, the majority do not have access to computers、2.Have you ever encountered any culture shock in your communication with your foreign teachers or foreign friends?Foreign teachers often assign little homework, the majority of which is practical、Chinese teachers often assign much work, because they think the more we practice the more knowledge especially what in books we have a good command of、Furthermore, foreign teachers don’t。

Students are required to select two passages from Part One and one passage from each of the other parts. Each translation will constitute 20 scores and 100 scores in all.Part I Translation of selections from English novels (10 passages available, 2 translations necessary, 20 scores for each translation, 40 scores for translations of this part)Directions: In this part of the test, there are 10 passages selected from various English novels. Students will be required to translate only 2 of them.1 This letter completed, Miss Pinkerton proceeded to write her own name, and Miss Sedley’s, in the fly-leaf of a Johnson’s Dictionary – the interesting work which she invariably presented to her scholars on their departure from the Mall. On the cover was inserted a copy of “Lines addressed to a young lady on quitting Miss Pinkerton’s school, at the Mall; by the late revered Doctor Samuel Johnson.” In fact, the Lexicographer’s name was always on the lips of this majestic woman, and a visit he had paid to her was the cause of her reputation and her fortune.2 Although schoolmistresses’ letters are to be trusted no more nor less than churchyard epitaphs; yet, as it sometimes happens that a person departs this life who is really deserving of all the praises the stonecutter carves over his bones; who is a good Christian, a good parent, child, wife, or husband; who actually does leave a disconsolate family to mourn his loss; so in academies of the male and female sex it occurs every now and then, that the pupil is fully worthy of the praises bestowed by the disinterested instructor. Now Miss Amelia Sedley was a young lady of this singular species.3 So that when the day of departure came, between her two customs of laughing and crying, Miss Sedley was greatly puzzled how to act. She was glad to go home, and yet most woefully sad at leaving school. For three days before, little Laura Martin, the orphan, followed her about, like a little dog. She had to make and receive at least fourteen presents, - to make fourteen solemn promises of writing every week: “Send my letters under cover to my grandpapa, the Earl of Dexter,” said Miss Saltire.4 When Miss Sharp had performed the heroic act mentioned in the last chapter, and had seen the Dixonary, flying over the pavement of the little garden, fall at length at the feet of the astonished Miss Jemima, the you ng lady’s countenance, which had before worn an almost livid look of hatred, assumed a smile that perhaps was scarcely more agreeable, and she sank back in the carriage in an easy frame of mind, saying, “So much for the Dixonary; and, thank God, I’m out of Chiswick.”5 Miss Sharp’s father was an artist, and in that quality had given lessons of drawing at Miss Pinkerton’s school. He was a clever man; a pleasant companion; a careless student; with a great propensity for running into debt, and a partiality for the tavern. When he was drunk, he used tobeat his wife and daughter; and the next morning, with a headache, he would rail at the world for its neglect of his genius, and abuse, with a good deal of cleverness, and sometimes with perfect reason, the fools, his brother painters.6 On fine days at this time of the year, and earlier, certain ephemeral operations were apt to disturb in their trifling way, the majestic calm of Egdon Heath. They were activities which, beside those of a town, a village, or even a farm, would have appeared as the ferment of stagnation merely, a creeping of the flesh of somnolence. But here, away from comparisons, shut in by the stable hills, among which mere walking had the novelty of pageantry, and where any man could imagine himself to be Adam without the least difficulty, they attracted the attention of every bird within eyeshot, every reptile not yet asleep, and set the surrounding rabbits curiously watching from hillocks at a safe distance.7 Involved in these imaginings she knew nothing of time. When she became conscious of externals it was dusk. The furze-rick was finished; the men had gone home. Eustacia went upstairs, thinking that she would take a walk at this her usual time; and determined that her walk should be in the direction of Blooms-End, the birthplace of young Yeobright and the present home of his mother. She had no reason for walking elsewhere, and why should she not go that way? The scene of a daydream is sufficient for pilgrimage at nineteen. To look at the pa lings before the Yeobrights’ house had the dignity of a necessary performance. Strange that such a piece of idling should have seemed an important errand.8 Thomasin lowered Her face to the apples again. “I am a warning to others, just as thieves and drun kards and gamblers are,” she said in a low voice. “What a class to belong to! Do I really keep on making me think that I do, by the way they behave towards me? Why don’t people judge me by my acts? Now, look at me as I kneel here, picking up these apples –do I look like a lost woman? … I wish all good women were as good as I”, she added vehemently.9 She strained her eyes to see them, but was unable. Such was her intentness, however, that it seemed as if her ears were performing the functions of seeing as well as hearing. This extension of power can almost be believed in at such moments. The deaf Dr Kitto was probably under the influence of a parallel fancy when he described his body as having become, by long endeavor, so sensitive to vibrations that he had gained the power of perceiving by it as by ears.10 That night was an eventful one to Eustacia’s brain, and one which she hardly ever forgot. She dreamt a dream; and few human beings, from Nebuchadnezzar to the Swaffham tinker, ever dreamt a more remarkable one. Such an elaborately developed, perplexing, exciting dream was certainly never dreamed by a girl in Eustacia’s situation before. It had as many ramifications as the Cretan labyrinth, as many fluctuations as the Northern Lights, as much color as a parterre in June, and was as crowded with figures as a coronation. To Queen Scheherazade the dream might have seemed not far removed from commonplace; and to a girl just returned from all the courts of Europe it might have seemed not more than interesting. But amid the circumstances of Eustacia’s life it was as wonderful as a dream could be.Part II Translation of selections from famous speeches (5 passages available, 1 translation necessary, 20 scores for each translation, 20 scores for translation of this part)Directions: In this part of the test, there are 5 passages selected from various English novels. Students will be required to translate only 1 of them.11 The object of foreign policy in this country is and must always be the maintenance of peace. If, however, peace is to be enduring, it must rest on foundations of frank reciprocity and of mutual respect. It follows that we must be ready to negotiate with all countries, whatever their forms of government, in order to promote international understanding. But we must also be watchful that, in our conception of such negotiations and in the method by which we seek to further them, we are, in fact, strengthening, not undermining, the foundations on which international confidence rests.12 The immediate issue is whether such official conversations (between the British and Italian governments) should be opened in Rome now. In my conviction, the attitude of the Italian government to international problems in general, and this country in particular, is not yet such as to justify this course. The ground has been in no respect prepared. Propaganda against this country by the Italian government is rife throughout the world. I am myself pledged to this House not to open conversations with Italy until this hostile propaganda ceases.13 This decision has been made less difficult to me by the sure knowledge that my brother, with his long training in the public affairs of this country and with his fine qualities, will be able to take my place forthwith without interruption or injury to the life and progress of the empire. And he has one matchless blessing, enjoyed by so many of you, and not bestowed on me – a happy home with his wife and children.14 I have been very happy here tonight. I entirely understand the distinction made by our chairman tonight when he said you hold me in social esteem and a certain amount of personal affection. I am not a sentimental man, but I am not insensible to all that. I know the value of all that, and it gives me, now that I have come to the age of seventy (it will not occur again and I am saying it for the last time), a great feeling of pleasure that I can say what a good many people can’t say.15 I can’t conceive of nothing worse than a man-governed world except a woman-governed world – but I can see the combination of the two going forward and making civilization more worthy of the name of civilization based on Christianity, not force. A civilization based on justice, and mercy.I feel men have a greater sense of justice and we of mercy. They must borrow our mercy and we must use their justice. We are new brooms; let us see that we sweep the right room.Part III Translation of selections from modern English writings (5 passages available, 1 translation necessary, 20 scores for each translation, 20 scores for translation of this part)Directions: In this part of the test, there are 5 passages selected from various modern English writings. Students will be required to translate only 1 of them.16 A day after Priestley’s crash at Kentu cky Speedway last week, he was helicoptered 190 milesnorth to Indianapolis’s Methodist hospital, a mecca for “motor-sports medicine.” Methodist doctors have been fixing injured drivers since the first Indy race took place four miles down the road in 1911. “These guys are the best in the world,” says Davey Hamilton, a six-time Indy 500 starter who expected to have both feet amputated after a June 2001 crash in Texas.17 As the first anniversary of the 9-11 attacks draws nearer, victims’ families are quiet ly waging a letter – writing campaign asking TV networks to provide warnings before airing graphic footage of the attacks. Carie Lemack, a 27-year-old from Boston whose mother was on American Airlines Flight 11, says that when she sees the plane going into the North Tower, “it’s like watching my mother being murdered over and over again.”18 But stories of a deeper horror came from the prisoners themselves. However awful their conditions, they were the lucky ones. There were alive. May hundreds of their comrades, they said, had been killed on the journey to Sheberghan from Konduz by being stuffed into sealed cargo containers and left to asphyxiate. Local aid workers and Afghan officials quietly confirmed that they had heard the same stories. They confirmed, too, persistent reports about the disposal of many of the dead in mass graves at Dasht-e Leili.19 That’s when Haglund, a veteran of similar investigations in Rwanda, Sri Lanka, the Balkans and other scenes of atrocity, was called in. Standing at what he reckoned from the ’dozer tracks was an edge of the gravesite, he pushed a long, hollow probe deep into the compacted sand, then he sniffed. The acrid smell reeking up the shaft was unmistakable. Haglund and local laborers later dug down; at five feet, they came upon a layer of decomposing corpses, lying pressed together in a row.20 So are thousands of others. Each year close to 900,000 implants collected from donor cadavers are shipped to hospitals for use in a variety of procedures, including repairing cartilage, fusing bone and replacing heart valves. The products improve outcomes and save lives – and the vast majority are successfully implanted. But after Brian Lykins, 23, died last November, days after knee surgery involving CryoLife tissue, federal health agencies began taking a closer look at implant safety.Part IV Translation of selections from American Highlights (5 passages available, 1 translation necessary, 20 scores for each translation, 20 scores for translation of this part)Directions: In this part of the test, there are 5 passages selected from American Highlight. Students will be required to translate only 1 of them.21 Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) wrote her whimsical, darting verse with sublime indifference to any notion of being a democratic or popular poet. Her work, far different from that of either Whitman or Longfellow, illustrated the fact that one could take a single household and an inactive life, and make enchanting poetry out of it.Miss Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father was a prominent lawyer and politician and where her grandfather had established an academy and college.22 When she began writing poetry Emily had relatively little formal education. She did know Shakespeare and classical mythology and was especially interested in women authors such as Elizabeth Browning and the Bronte sisters. She was also acquired with the works of Emerson, Thoreau and Hawthorne. Though she did not believe in the conventional religion of her family, she had studied the Bible, and many of her poems resemble hymns in form.23 There were several men who, at different times in her life, acted as teacher or master to Emily. The first was Benjamin Newton, a young lawyer in her father’s law office who improved her li terary and cultural tastes and influenced her ideas on religion. She refers to him as “a friend, who taught me Immortality.”24 Emily’s next teacher was Charles Wadsworth, a married middle-aged minister who provided her with intellectual challenge and contact with the outside world. It appears that she felt an affection for him that he could not return, and when he moved to San Francisco in 1862, she removed herself from society even more than she had before. Wadsworth may have been the model for the lover in her poems, though it is just as likely that the literary figure is purely imaginary.25 Miss Dickinson’s greatest outpouring of poems occurred in the early 1860s, and because she was isolated, the Civil War affected her thinking very little. At this time she sent some of her work to Thomas Higginson, a prominent critic and author. He was impressed by her poetry, but suggested that she use a more conventional grammar. Emily, however, refused to revise her poems to fit the standards of others and took no interest in having them published; in fact she had only seven poems published during her lifetime. In Higginson she did, nevertheless, gain an intelligent and sympathetic critic with whom to discuss her work.。
英语期末测评总结与反思As the final evaluations come to an end, it is time for me to reflect upon my overall performance throughout the semester. I have been through ups and downs, faced challenges, and seen growth in myself both as a student and as an individual. In this reflection, I will discuss the areas where I have excelled, the challenges I have faced, and the steps I plan to take in order to improve in the future.First and foremost, I am proud of my consistency in attending classes and actively participating in discussions. I realized early on that active participation is essential in an English class, as it allows me to practice and improve my language skills. I took every opportunity to ask questions, share my thoughts, and engage with my classmates. This not only helped me develop my speaking skills but also improved my confidence in expressing myself in English. Furthermore, the discussions allowed me to learn from my peers and gain different perspectives on various topics.Moreover, I am proud of my writing skills improvement throughout the semester. In the beginning, I struggled with structuring my essays and organizing my thoughts coherently. However, with the help and guidance of my teachers, I was able to learn different essay formats and techniques. I made use of the feedback given to me on my assignments, making sure to incorporate the suggestions and improve my writing skills. By the end of the semester, my essays became more well-structured, logical, and well-supported with evidence.On the other hand, I also faced several challenges during the semester. One of the major challenges for me was time management. Balancing all the different subjects and extracurricular activities was overwhelming at times, leading to a lack of focus and procrastination. As a result, I sometimes found myself rushing to complete assignments or studying for exams at the last minute. This not only affected the quality of my work but also added unnecessary stress and pressure. In order to overcome this challenge, I plan on implementing a strict time management schedule, prioritizing my tasks, and breaking them down into manageable chunks.Another challenge I faced was pronunciation. English being my second language, I often struggled with the correct pronunciation of certain words and sounds. Although I have made efforts to improve my pronunciation, it still requires more practice. To overcome this challenge, I plan on engaging in daily pronunciation exercises, listening to English podcasts or songs, and practicing with native English speakers. I believe that with consistent practice and exposure, I will be able to improve my pronunciation and sound more fluent.In terms of listening skills, I realized that I need to work on my ability to understand native speakers at a faster pace. During class discussions or listening exercises, I sometimes found it difficult to keep up with the speed at which native speakers talk. To improve this, I plan on listening to more authentic English content, such as movies, TV series, and podcasts. Additionally, I will practice active listening by taking notes and summarizing what I haveheard. I am confident that by doing so, I will be able to enhance my listening skills and comprehend native speakers more easily.Looking back at my performance this semester, I recognize both my strengths and weaknesses. Although there were challenges, I am proud of the progress I have made in my language skills and my overall personal growth. Moving forward, I will continue to work on my weaknesses and build upon my strengths. I plan to seek additional resources, such as online language learning platforms or tutoring, to supplement my learning and provide a more immersive language experience. Additionally, I will take advantage of every opportunity to practice my speaking and writing skills, whether it be through group discussions or writing exercises.In conclusion, this semester has been a period of growth and self-improvement for me. I have seen progress in my language skills, particularly in my writing abilities and active participation in class discussions. However, I still face challenges in time management, pronunciation, and listening skills. With determination and a well-thought-out plan, I am optimistic that I will be able to overcome these challenges and further enhance my English proficiency. I am grateful for the guidance and support of my teachers throughout this semester and I look forward to continuing my journey of learning and improvement in the future.。

Chapter 1Section A1.Why is Elle Woods considered diverse by Harvard Law School And why is Elle Woods admitted by Harvard Law School What can we learn from it about American cultureElle Woods is considered diverse by Harvard Law School because she’s a fashion major and her practices out of class are quite different from other students, who are usually politics, history or philosophy majors. Elle Woods was admitted by Harvard Law School mainly because they are looking for diverse students like Elle. From it, we can learn that American educational system encourages the development of , we can also realize that culture shapes people’s discourse and behaviors, which influences the communication between people.2.Discuss in groups the strengths and weaknesses of the American and Chinese education systems. Present your ideas to the whole class after your discussion.American education system emphasize that students should be diverse and take part in a lot of social practice, which contributes to the all-round development of students. However, American students usually lose in the competition with Chinese students because they don’t highlight the test skills. By contrast, Chinese education is a exam-oriented education, which put the exam at first. Therefore, Chinese students are often good at exam but lack experience of social practice and don’t know how to communicate with strangers.3.Why do Chinese and Americans develop different education systems What are the cultural factors underlying the differencesThe cultural difference generates the different education system between America and China. American culture is characteristic of opening and highlights social practice while Chinese culture is rigorous and highlights the role of parents and teachers. In this sense, students should respect for and obey their command and pay all attention to exam in terms of fierce competition.Section C1.Why did Zhao say ‘America is a good place, but it’s too dull’What can we learn about Chinese cultureWhen his son went to work, Zhao was quite lonely and didn’t have any friends. This kind of life was much different from his farming life in China, where he had many friends and neighbors around, talking, drinking tea and playing mabjongtogether during the leisure time. Chinese culture is a group-oriented culture, where people would like to interact with each other.2.Why did most Chinese families decide to grow vegetables instead of flowers on their land What can we learn about Chinese cultureChinese people are very diligent and thrifty. For them, it is wasteful to use land to raise flowers. Chinese culture which is characteristic of collectivism is a guideline that shapes Chinese behaviors.3.Culture is often compared to the ‘software’of people’mind. Cite the examples in this case to explain the sentence.When Zhao was in American, he was very lonely and had no friend. That summer was the happiest time for him because he could communicate with his friends. From this example, we can learn that culture governs people’s mind and determines whether they are happy or example is the choice of Chinese families to grow vegetables. From it, we can learn that culture governs people’s behavior and provides guidelines for what to do and what not to do.Chapter 2Section A1.In the movie, Jonathan wants to get Sara’s phone number, but their process of communication fails. What elements go wrong in this processWhen Sara gives her phone number to Jonathan, the paper is blown into a trash. Jonathan takes it as an accident, but Sara regards it as a sign of fate, which is telling her not to develop their relationship. Their different outlook to life causes the breakdown of the process of communication.2.In the movie, how many things does Sara do in order to test fate And what are they What do you think of these behaviorsThree things. The first one is that Sara asks Jonathan to write down his phone number on a $5 bill and spends the bill in a little grocery store. The second one is that she promises to write down her number inside a book and sell it to a used bookstore. The third one is that she asks Jonathan to get into a hotel with her and proposes that she and Jonathan pick the same floor in the lift randomly. I think Sara believes in fate and regard the fate as the foundation of feelings.3.A famous anthropologist once said that ‘Culture is communication andcommunication is culture.’ Do you agree Why or why notYes. Because people in different cultures have different contexts, which influence how they communicate. In this case, Sara with a belief of fate can’t communicate with Jonathan not believing fate very well. Furthermore communication may be culture, because people often communicate with each other will have the same interest, habits and beliefs, which create the new culture.Section C1.What the mode of communication favored by Asians What cultural values underlie itAsian people are very courteous and indirect in the communication. Because they emphasize group harmony, they ere tolerant when they are offended. These collectivism values, shaped by Confucian teachings, were spread from China to many Asian countries.2.What is the mode of communication favored by Westerners What cultural values underlie itWesterners are direct and frank in the communication. And they have s strong sense of protecting their own rights. Individualism values are the principles guiding their behaviors.3. 同上面3Chapter 3Section A1.In the hearing, why does Xu Datong invite John to be his lawyer although John is not familiar with family law What can you learn from it about Chinese cultureXu Datong invited John to be his lawyer because John was his best friend. In his opinion, Chinese usually ask their intimate relationship for help to solve some intractable problems as this kind of relationship will make more effort to help you. Hence, we know that China is a collectivism society and Chinese people usually emphasize interdependence and collective relations.2.Why doesn’t John defend Xu Datong in the hearing What can we learn from this about Chinese cultureFrom the photos, John spontaneously considered that Dennis was abused by his father,which was illegal in America. That's why John rejected to defend Xu Datong. From it, we can see that in America, people are attached importance to the truth and law rather than to the interpersonal relationship, which is the most obvious characteristic of an individualism society and is different from a collectivism society.3.Why does Xu Datong tell the judge he performed Guasha on Dennis What can we learn from this about Chinese cultureOn Chinese' view, the young man is the brace of a family and he should be responsible for the whole family. Although Dennis' injury was created by his grandfather in fact, Xu Datong realized that he should shoulder the responsibility according to Chinese traditional culture.4.Who shall we ask for help when we get into legal troubles, our relatives and friends or a lawyerI would like to ask the lawyers for help when I get into legal the one hand, lawyers understand the laws and regulations and they know how to use laws to debate while your friends or relations who are willing to help you are possibly not familiar to laws. In fact, lawyers are useful in dealing with legal troubles than your friends and relatives. On the other hand, the fact and evidence are more emphasized in modern society. When the justice judged the legal cases and make the verdicts, they will notice the evidence and truth rather than persons.Section C1.Could you understand why Mile called the police What can we learn about American culture and Chinese cultureMike called the police because his grandmother beat him which was forbidden in America. In China, 'beating' is a regular and popular way to educate children. It is a common sense. 'Beating' can date back to ancient Chinese education when the teachers gave serious punishment to students doing something wrong. In America, 'beating' is forbidden and illegal. Parents always use mild methods such as persuasion or suggestion to educate their American children realize their right to protect themselves, which is influenced by freedom and equality propagated by The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizens.2.Why couldn’t Xue Suling carry out her original plan of Chinese language teaching What can we learn Learning about American culture and Chinese cultureChinese is very difficult, especially in speaking and must have an environment of Chinese language and substantial , Mike and Xue Suling didn't have these conditions. In China, children’ s learning is manipulated by the teachers and parents and perhaps monitored for the whole day. In America, children should learnhow to be independent of their parents from the moment they are born. They arrange their own , Xue Suling can't carry out her original plan. From it, we could realize that American highlight individual rights, which is the same as other individualism countries and areas.Chapter 4Section A1.Discuss the image of the whale as a symbol of nature, and Captain Ahab’s attitude towards it.The whale is a symbol of the nature, is a concrete embodiment of the powerful nature. Nature is rich and generous, it is a treasure for humans, providing humans with food and clothes. If losing it, humans will die. Nature is also stingy, it never gives something to humans on its own initiative, humans rely on plundering(掠夺)it to get what they want. Captain Ahab is the representative of human. He is a person with strength and perseverance as well as craziness, selfish and arrogance. He fights against the whale parallel to the behavior that people conquer the nature. For him ,the mission is holy and historic. In fact, human are confused a question whether the nature is friend or enemy, but the conflict between human and nature is inevitable.Section C1.What can we learn about Mexican culture from the reward system of PAMEXFrom this case, we learn that the Mexican culture is reserved and group-oriented. It highlights the group harmony and interpersonal relationships.2.What can we learn about American culture from the reward system USAHPThe American culture is more individualistic, result-oriented and analytic.3.How do you explain the phenomenon in this case, applying the theory of the relationship between humans What cultural differences caused the resistance of the local staff in PAMEX after the acquisitionBecause of the radically cultural differences between the American management and the Mexican staff, it was a challenge for the American management to accept for the Mexican staff and pay attention to the fundamental values in human relationship under Mexican circumstances.4.If you were one of the managers from USAHP, concerning the local culture, what measures will you take to promote the motivation of the original staff in PAMEX If I was one of the managers from USAHP, I would like to respect and promote the culture and philosophy of the original staff in PAMEX. With the merge and acquisition, the culture clash became increasingly obvious. If the company wanted to manage the PAMEX and its employees, it should observe the original cultures. It should glorify and support that PAMEX promoted, rewarded and retained employees based on their loyalty to the firm and to their immediate supervisors, and oninterpersonal connections. Approving the cultures and customs of the original staff in PAMEX, they would be promoted to work hard and contribute to the company USAHP.Chapter 5Section C1.What can we learn from the first case Use Hofstede’s ‘Uncertainty avoidance’dimension to explain your answer.‘Uncertainty avoidance’ indicates how much a society feels threatened by ambiguous situations and tries to avoid them by providing rules, believing in absolute truths, and refusing to tolerate deviance. Some cultures, such as Greece, Portugal, Belgium, Japan and Spain are averse to the unknown. Such cultures emphasize uniformity and dislike deviance. Such cultures may be rather emotional in the process of gathering information. Foreign teachers need detailed instructions. They hope to reduce the ambiguity in their expectations for the working in China. Thus they turn to Chinese officials to tell them exactly their responsibility, rights, the regulations, the available facilities, the accommodations. Such information helps reduce the anxiety.2.If you are in America, what will you do to get a book you need What can we learn from this case Use Hofstede’s ‘individualism-collectivism’dimension to explain your answer.According to Hofstede’s research, collectivist cultures tend to be Asian and Latin American, while the individualistic cultures are North American and European. Collectivist cultures emphasize common interest, cooperation, conformity and inter-dependence. They have tight social framework, where people help each other. The in-group includes one’s family, relatives, acquaintances, friends, classmates and colleagues. In individualistic cultures, people highlight their own needs. They emphasize more ‘I’ than ‘we’. Thus, if an American wants to borrow a book from another library, he would directly consult the staff working at the library to see whether the library is available to him. Then, he will inquire the procedures for obtaining books from that library. He will not ask his friends for help. In China, however, one would first try to find someone he knows to help him.3.What does ‘friend’ mean to Chinese What does ‘friend’ mean to AmericansAccording to Hofstede’s research, America ranked in individualism worldwide. Americans respect other privacy and maintain certain distance. Even friends should try not to be very demanding. If friends ask for help, they should make their requests reasonable. While Chinese belong to community, so friends have a closer relationship. One encountering some troubles, wants his friend to help him. In China, friends are the people that one can depend on and trust.Chapter 6Section A1.Why is the meaning of ‘I like your sweater’ very clear in the WestIn the West, the meaning of the sentence ‘I like your sweater’ is very clear because of the low-context style of communication, in which most of the information in the communication is transmitted in the verbal speech.2.Why is the meaning of ‘I like your sweater’ very clear In Asian societiesIn Asian societies, the meaning of the ‘I like your sweater’is not clear because of the high-context style of communication, in which people may transmit a large amount information in the context rather than in verbal speech.3.What are the differences between Chinese and Western culture What are the differences between Chinese and Western languageChinese culture is a typical high-context culture in which people’s communication is indirect and tentative. Sometimes they don’t really mean what they say simply. Western culture is a low-context culture in which people’s communication is direct and frank. For example, if a westerner say that he likes the painting, he only express an appreciation while Chinese may mean he wants to have one.Section C1.Did my daughter really mean it when she refused her Filipino classmate’s offer What can we learn about the culture Use Hall’s culture context model to illustrate it.No, she didn’t really mean it. She wanted to have a hamburger very much. She refuse her classmate’s offer just because she was Chinese. She knew the hamburger was quite expensive, so she didn’t want to ask a favor of her classmate. If she had done so, she would have thought she had taken financial advantage of her classmate. Chinese culture is a typical high-context culture in which people’s communication is indirect and tentative. Sometimes they don’t really mean what they say simply.2.What makes the Filipino girl consider the invitation as genuine What can wen learn about her culture Use Hall’s culture context model to illustrate it.Generally, westerners consider an invitation as genuine if it makes a definite time, place and activity. In this case, all three criteria were very clear, so the Filipino girl considered the invitation as genuine, and very happy to accept it. She didn’t know her Chinese classmate extended the offer just out of courtesy. For people of low-context cultures, who adopt the direct and frank communication, they must pay attention to discerning the real intentions of those of high-context cultures.Chapter 7Section A1.Why Eliza was so bad in spite of her successful performance at the party.Eliza got better education performed well in order to lure Higgins who was her teacher and who she liked and expect his concern. However, Higgins ignored exhausted Eliza, only boasted to his friends and celebrated the success, which made Eliza frustrated. Furthermore, Eliza didn’t get ready for the success and was confused about the future.Section C1.Do you think it is necessary to rename the dragon as Chinese symbol WhyI think it is necessary to rename the dragon as Chinese symbol since the misunderstanding of the Chinese ancient totem 'dragon' has influenced the spread of Chinese culture. For Chinese view, dragon equivalent to emperor symbolizes royal and majesty which receive respect and honor. In western opinion, dragon represents a fearsome, threatening animal. If we want to make westerners have much knowledge of Chinese culture and the ancient totems especially dragon, a symbol for honesty, good fortune, and happiness in the minds of Chinese people, we are supposed to eliminate their prejudice and misunderstanding firstly. Therefore, renaming the dragon is an urgent affair and vital campaign which is associated with the China' s rebuilding the cultural system all over the world.2.Do other animals inspire different associations in China and Western countries Peacock also inspires different associations in China and Westerncountries. Chinese believe that the peacock is a symbol of auspicious festival, so people often describe the peacock as beautiful people or things. For example, the ancient Chinese have a love story "the peacock flies to southeast". The dancer Dao Meilan is famous for dancing "peacock dance", and is known as "peacock princess". Yang Liping dances a performance called the spirit of "sparrow" beautifully, which is full of praise.Ancient oracle character "Phoenix" has a bunch of beautiful pappus, a long and beautiful tail behind. The overall graphic is a picture of the peacock pictographic drawing completely. The peacock in China since ancient times is regarded as a kind of beauty, auspicious bird.Nevertheless the peacock in the western value has a reverse believe that the peacock is strutting when walking defiantly and often shows off its beauty by its tail, which is considered as 'proud' and 'vanity' in the west. So the peacock in the west has a derogatory sense. The second explanation of the 'peacock' in American Heritage Dictionary is a megalomania person given to self - display. For example, she strutted like a peacock, looking down her nose at everyone which demonstrates the woman was pride.Chapter 8Section A1.Is different social status the obstacle of true love or marriageThe different social status is the obstacle of true love and marriage. People with different status have different education and different kinds of friends. They have different communications,which create different value and outlook on life. At the same time, they have different interests and habits. If two people have many differences above, they will have controversy and disparity, which lead to disharmonious marriage.Section C1.Can you explain why Joe said, ‘While in China, I sometimes felt like a prisoner’ Because the itinerary arranged by Hong and her department without consulting with Joe was so tight that he had no free time to explore the city and the surrounding area on his own.2.Can you tell the differences between Chinese hospitality and American hospitality Chinese hospitality features that the host should arrange everything well for the visitor. In the story, Hong and the chair of her department met Joe at the airport, put him up in a nice hotel, arranged a big dinner for him for the evening and gave him the itinerary for the next few days. In fact, Hong spent much time making sure Joe's visit would go smoothly. Similarly, if the visitor comes to China for the first time, Chinese always devise all of the itinerary and require the visitor to complete the visit according to the itinerary. Furthermore, Chinese make these plans which leave no time for the visitor to conduct independently without inquiring the visitor. As the conclusion, the visitor who from other areas especially from western countries would feel grateful for everything at the beginning but annoyed and deprived because of the tight itinerary later.However, westerners prefer to suggest and inquire rather than to make the plans directly. If the visitor needs a guide, they are grateful and honored. Surely, they will ask what you like to go and when you want to get cracking on going there. On the contrary, if you want to enjoy a trip independently, they will respect you and merely suggest some interesting and worthwhile resorts, which makes you feel more relaxed. In brief, Chinese hospitality is enthusiastic but semi-compulsory while American hospitality is more appropriate and relaxing.Chapter 9Section Cdid the same advertisement succeed in France but fail in Saudi Arabia Why did the adapted version of the advertisement succeedEach culture has different understanding of touching. Americans, the English, Germans and Northern Europeans belong to low-touch cultures while Hispanics, people of Eastern European, Italians, the French, Arabs, and Jews are high-touch cultures. Whether considered to be high-or low-touch, defines for its members whom they can touch, as well as when and where they can cannot touch. For example, although the French and Arabs are considered high-touch cultures, the French culture permits a mutual directional touching between men and women while in Arabian cultures, the male do it much more than the female. In France, women touching men frequently is proper, but in Arab it seems that the female is too aggressive which gives a negative impression to the male. In the adapted version, the touching was reduced and neutralized. As a result, the picture in the ads implies that the man is so irresistible that the lady can’t help getting close to him in spite of her awareness of the cultural rule.3.What do you learn from Drakkar Noir’s storyIf we want a advertisement to be success in a nation, we should know about the nation’s culture. People raised in different culture would have different viewpoints,which decide whether your advertisement would lure consumers in the nation. In this case, the former advertisement failed because it didn’t follow the nation’s culture, especially the understanding of touching. Therefore, it didn’t lure consumers. However, after it investigated the culture and changed the picture, it succeeded.Chapter 10Section A1.The Indian and American concepts of ‘Time’ reflected in this movieAmericans regard time as a commodity, something to be used, bought, wasted, saved or spent. So they attach much importance to the efficiency of using time and like a fast pace of life. In India, relationship is far more important than schedules and efficiency. People live in a slower and relaxed way. In this movie, Todd is sent to India to get its MPI down from 15 minutes per call to 6. Todd thinks it is not realistic, and his fellow he meet in MacDonnell’s says ‘No way in India.’ By contrast, Puro, the Indian charger, regards an MPI of 12 is already satisfactory. Another point is that Americans are very specific about time, which is different from how Indians treat it. In this movie, Todd argues with Dave about the target MPI:should it be or something between and . However, when Todd asks Puro when the glass of his office will arrive, Puro says ‘It’s coming soon.’In fact, it finally comes three weeks later.Section Cyour opinion of the Director’s behavior How would you explain Katherine’s feeling to the DirectorThis case is about the culture difference in two different time system namely Monochronic Time and Polychronic Time. The Director follows a Polychronic culture which schedules several activities at the same time. He often breaks the appointments and is more subjected to interruptions. So it is natural for him to keep talking with a Chinese teacher when it is already five minutes past his appointment time with Katherine, and later tolerate interruptions during his talk with her. By contrast, Katherine follows a Monochronic Time system which schedules only one activity at one time, is very specific about the time and efficiency. In this sense, she could not cope with the Director’s conversation with others, especially in Chinese, during her appointment time. Although the Director has realized that his behavior may not seem polite to Katherine and even apologizes to her, his apology doesn’t compensate for her frustration.Chapter 11Section A1.How would you solve Martha’s problem if you were AlexI would communicate with my father firstly and ask him whether he can change his schedule. If he rejects, I would inquire Martha if she could change her time. If she doesn’t agree, I would consider redecorate the house and divide the house into two spaces or borrow much money from bank to buy a new larger house.Section Cwould you react to Wang Liang’s behavior Why did Wolfgang get angryThis case is about the cultural differences in the understanding of personal space. Some cultures do not give private, personal space high consideration. Sometimes, fifty Africans can crowd into the same amount of space that holds only twenty North Americans. The reason is that Africans’sense of personal space suffers no intrusion from crowding and touching. In this sense, Wang Liang, comes from Chinese culture, is not as sensitive about personal space as is his German colleague. He tends to respect for the physical boundaries of personal territory, but pays little attention to less visible invasion. In this sense, he never realize s that his behavior may be regarded as rude. By contrast, Wolfgang’s culture is more sensitive to privacy. The boundary of his personal territory can extend to personal items. Therefore, when he found Wang Liang was reading the newspaper without his permission, he felt an invasion of his private personal space.Chapter 13Section A1.What would you do if you were Viktor at such difficult timeIf I was Viktor, I would learn English at first, because it is a tool to communicate and get information, which is important for him in a strange country. Secondly, I would attempt to find a long-time job in order to survive. Thirdly, I would make friends in the country and often communicate with them and explore their behaviors. How they speak and behave rest on the local culture. My final aim is to realize local culture and integrate into the society, which makes me live better in the country. Section C1.Can you explain what is behind the culture shock the girl experiencedThere are two shocks. The first one is the difference in terms of study. There is much work in America than in France. In France, the courses cover a particular subject in depth, whereas in America the classes embrace a large range of topics, but more superficially. The classes are more alive than in France. The second one is the difference in terms of technology. The students in America have easier access to computers, allowing them to go to the web for research. In France, the majority do not have access to computers.2.Have you ever encountered any culture shock in your communication with your foreign teachers or foreign friendsForeign teachers often assign little homework, the majority of which is practical. Chinese teachers often assign much work, because they think the more we practice the more knowledge especially what in books we have a good command of. Furthermore,。
