In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture,suchaslanguage, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although theyareimportant, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg 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 behaviour, 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 behaviour 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’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, orjudge theirintentions 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 egal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visibl2, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man ina 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 cultura! differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise. Question 61: What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To point out that much of culture is leaned consciously. B.

READING @ READ THE PASSAGE BELOW AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER FROM A,B, CORD. AWALK iN THE MIDDAY SUN When the heat is on, walkers need to be on their guard. ‘The heat can create serious heath problems for walkers. Hot weather makes your heart pump harder, and if youre not very fit, you start to understand why the majority of mountain rescue statistics are made up from summer walkers suffering heat attacks. Heat exhaustion is quite easy to get when you're making great physical effort. It happens when your body can't get enough sweat to keep you cool. Take enough water and drink it sensibly. The arswer is to keep up your water intake. It's a good idea to drink a pint of water for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit every 24 hours. So, if the temperature is in the 70s, and you are doing a five- hour walk, you'll need a minimum of around one and a haif pints of water. It’s vital that you don't wait until you develop a raging thirst before you stop for a drink- keep taking regular swigs from yous water bottle. ‘There are several alternatives to just water. Manywalkers flavor their water with fruit juice, which makes ita lot more palatable. You could even use one of the isotonic drinks made for athletics, which replace the body's salts lost throughsweating. Powders such as Dioralyte, which you may have in the house asa treatment for diarrhea, will do the job just as well, as its main aims also effective rehydration. Getting wet is one way of keeping temperatures down. Given that evaporation is your body's cooling mechanism, you can help things along with an external appication of water. Soaking your hat with water is a great way to cool the head, though if the sun is beating down, it will probably dry off almost immediately. Better still then if you can plunge into a river or the sea fully-clothed.And if that's not possible, then at least take off your boots and sacks and paddle in a cool stream. ‘One part of your body which can suffer is your feet. Walking in the heat increases the rate at which your feet swell, which can lead to them feeling tight in your boots. Cool water from a stream reduces any swelling and helps general foot comfort. At the same time, you can check out your feet for signs of blisters. Extra sweating makes the skin softer and increases the chance of blisters forming, in the same way as when water leaks into your boots and gets to your feet. The wrong clothing can cause problems. As for what clothing you can wear, this should be lightweight and reasonably loose-fitting. Tight clothing will feel uncomfortable and may even lead to the formation of an irritating rash as “quickly heat” on your skin. The answer, if it does develop, Is to try and stay cool as much as possible. Do this by either keeping in the shade, or washing the affected area with cold water, but without soap. But prevention is by far the best approach, so keep your clothing light. Your clothing acts as an important defense against the sun. It’s understandable to want to remove any extraneous clothing when it’s extremely hot, but it doesnt really make much sense to take off T-shirts. The sun’s rays can be quite strong, and shoulders are always very sensitive to sunburn. This is the worst place to be red and sore when you. are wearing a heavy rucksack on your back. Wearing shorts can also create problems for walkers, as the backs of the legs can catch the sun very easily. Always protect those parts of your body which are not covered by clothing. 1n fact, those days when an apparently harmless breeze is blowing can be the most deceptive, Itmight notfeel so hot, so you probably won'tnotice the damage being done so soon. As on every other day then, a good strong sun cream should therefore be appliec to any skin which is exposed. Make the most use of the summer, but the sun with the respect it deserves. Question 41. What does the writer say about ‘Dioralyte"? Avithelps to reduce sweating. B. It prevents the loss of body salts. C.lt works in the same way as an isotonic drink. D.|t will help you get diarrhea.

Carla School student Carla Ruiz lives in a hot country and has become very aware of the need to. save water.“spring and autumn used to be quite wet, but these days it hardly rains at all’, she says. "Nearly all the rivers have dried up, destroying all the wildlife in and around them, and no matter what we do they'll never be the same again. At least, though, we can use what little water there is more sensibly. That's why at home I recently decided to do simple things like making sure there are no dripping taps, or taps left on while Im brushing my teeth or washing food; also having showers instead of baths and not overwatering the plants. Within a few days | was regularly doing these things without even thinking, and | know they made a difference because the water bills went. down quite a bit. My parents noticed that so they started doing the same, and our bills are now a lot tower” B. Vincent. Trainee manager, Vincent Owen, is doing his bit to save the planet by using less electricity around the home." was talking to this guy at work and he told me that we waste a huge amountof energy every year by leaving things like the TV, DVD and computer on standby all the time, so nowadays | try to remember - not always successfully - to switch them off at night. Something | always do now, though, is keep the air-conditioning off, even if get a bit too sweaty here in summer. Incidentally, ve now got solar panels on the roof'so that all the hot water is poweted by the sun. That was a bg investment, and it ended up well over budget, but 'm sureit'll pay for itself in the end. | was hoping the neighbors might go for solar energy too, but as yet there's no sign they will” Lin While Lin Chen is on a gap year, she Is traveling round Europe with friends. "We had intended to fly everywhere,’ she says, "but when we worked out just how much extra pollution that would cause, we decided to do it by train instead. itwas cheaper, too" They began their tourin Greece:"We all felt the obvious place to start was where European civilization began, so our fisst rail journey began in Athens. We traveled to Patras on the west coast, taking the ferry across to Bariin southern Italy. Unfortunately, it was very windy and | had a bad case of sea-sickness, though, by the time we were on the train to Bologna, Id recovered.From there we took the overnight train to Paris, and a few days later we went on the Eurostar to London. We saw far more of the countryside than we would havedone by plane, and it was much more relaxing, too” D. Tanya ‘Tanya Petrov works in a restaurant with an extensive menu, but at home she will only eat local or seasonal food: “t strongly believe that transporting food thousands of kilometels, or storing it under refrigeration for months on end, ultimately has a highly negative impact on the climate. | always try to buy food that is produced locally and | have a special calendar to show me which kinds. of food are in season so that | know what Im buying is really fresh. And | always check the “best- before” dates of fresh fruit and vegetables before I choose them so I don't end up having to throw any out.

The United States Congress permitted local postmasters to give letters to mail carriers for home delivery, but these carriers received no government salary and their entire compensation depended on what they were paid by the recipients of individual letters. In 1847 the United States Post Office Department adopted the idea of a postage stamp, which of course simplified the payment for postal service but caused grumbling by those who did not like to prepay. Besides, the stamp covered only delivery to the post office and did not include carrying t to a private address. In Philadelphia, for example, with a population of 150,000 people still had to go to the post office to get there mail. The confusion and congestion of individual citizens looking for their letters was itself enough to discourage use of the mail. It is no wonder ‘that, during the years of these cumbersome arrangements, private letter-carrying and express businesses developed.Although their activities were only semi-legal, they thrived, and actually advertised that between Boston and Philadelphia they were a half -day speedier than the government mail. The government postal service lost volume to private competition and was not able to handle efficiently even the business it had. Finally, in 1863, Congress provided that the mail carriers who delivered the mail from thepost offices to private adelresses should receive a government salary, and that there should be no extra charge for that delivery. But this delivery service was at first confined to cities, and free home delivery became a mark of urbanism, As late as 1887, a town had to have 10,000 people to be eligible for free home delivery. In 1890, of the 75 million people in the United States, fewer than 20 million had mail delivered free to their doors. The rest, nearly three-quarters of the population, still received no mail unless they went to their post office. Question 66, What does the passage mainly discuss? A.
