2、ponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.My topic for todays lecture is communication, culture and work. When most peopleuse the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an imp

3、ortant role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one anothers styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from diff

4、erent countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War . Still, other diffe

5、rences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as

6、 a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. Its important to realize that culture is learned, not innate. A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An A

7、frican American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural condition

10、 not innate，即文化差異并非與生俱來，而是通過后天環(huán)境的影響逐漸形成的。 韓裔和非裔美國人的例子說明了這一點(diǎn)。最后引用人類學(xué)家 Edward Hall 的觀點(diǎn)收尾，即文化與交流互相依附，不分彼此。 Part B: Listening Comprehension1.
