Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg Trang 2/6 - Mã đề: 142 of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain "invisible" aspects of their culture exist. Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behavior, or what we consider beautiful or ugly. These are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behavior as cultural in origin. Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others' behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people's behavior, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences. Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise. 14. According to passage 4, which of the following would most likely result in misunderstanding? A. learning about our own culture in school B. unusual food being cooked by foreign visitors C. strange behavior from someone speaking our language D. strange behavior from someone speaking a foreign language 15. It is implied in paragraph 4 that _______. A. the more visible the differences are, the more misunderstanding we may have B. the less visible the differences are, the more misunderstanding we may have C. the more visible the differences are, the less misunderstanding we may have D. the less visible the differences are, the less misunderstanding we may have 16. The word "those" in paragraph 2 refers to ________. A. people from a different culture B. topics that should be avoided C. people who speak a different language D. invisible cultural assumptions 17. The word "deliberately" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________. A. intentionally B. slowly C. accurately D. randomly 18. Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture? A. how late is considered impolite B. what food to eat in a courthouse C. how people express interest in what others are saying D. what topics to avoid in conversation 19.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance , and may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three in particular stand out. The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect . If a person has one noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an individual who dresses smartly and shows self- confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability. Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the impression given by the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant. The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is. Trang 4/6 - Mã đề: 142 Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the various tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests. 34.
