题目

拥抱，对我们来说是那样熟悉，她曾经伴随着我们生命的成长，我们在一个个拥抱中渐渐长大；拥抱，有时又是那样陌生，离我们仿佛很遥远。拥抱，她无言，然而我们从中可以读到温暖，读到希望，读到歉疚，读到包容……太多太多的内涵，都需要我们用心去体会。请以“拥抱”为题，写一篇文章。要求：⑴文体自选（诗歌除外）。⑵不少于600 字，不出现真实校名、人名。⑶书写工整规范。Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or less degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries — like the UK or France — people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.【1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ________.A. get to know each otherB. share the same cultureC. keep each other companyD. develop closer relations【2】The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that ________.A. the English prefer to make long speechesB. even talk and silence can be culturally differentC. too many words are of no useD. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature【3】What would be the best title for the text?A.
