2015年11月30日，第21届联合国气候变化大会在巴黎举行，碳排放以及全球气候变暖仍是大会的核心议题．碳排放中的“碳”指的是（ ） A . 元素 B . 单质 C . 原子 D . CO2 答案：DMeeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. 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 lesser 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．develop closer relations B．share the same cultureC．get to know each other D．keep each other company2.The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _______.A．the English prefer to make long speechesB．too many words are of no useC．people from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureD．even talk and silence can be culturally different3.According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?A．By sharing different ways of life.
