Unit 1 A land of diversity Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′) A [2017·宁夏石嘴山高三模拟]There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US. Theyre hard working, respectful but strange sometimes. If you dont understand the culture, you will get some problems with them. Asian people are different from any other cultures. If you think you know them, you might want to think again.

You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss. Its something called “face_saving” in the Asian culture. Its ridiculous sometimes but its their culture. Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work. Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal. Americans are very different from Asian people. If youre Asian, you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them. It will be easier for you since youre in their countries. Imagine an American working in China, expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone. I think they will take him outside and take care of him. It just doesnt work that way with Asian people. If youre an American boss giving your Asian employee a review, you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks. They will think that you dont like them, disrespectful, and want to get rid of them; when in fact, youre just doing your job. Of course, its not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employees mind. 篇章导读：本文介绍的是美国文化和亚洲文化的差异从而导致美国人和亚洲人在工作上不能很好相处。 1．The Americans cant get along well with the Asians probably because ________.
