The meeting took the entire afternoon and no:it of the Japanese negotiators opened the contracts and they only talked about general busiiess conditions in both countries. After the meeting, the Americans could not get the ]apanese to the negotiating table again and had to leave the country empty-handed.

The Americans presented a very detailed presentation rna offered what they felt was a reasonable price. After a few moments of silence, the Americans thought the Japanese were going to reject the offer so they lowered the price. There was more silence by the Japanese. The Americans then said they would lower their price one hsi time and that this was the lowest they could go. The Japanese accepted this offer after a Brief silence. The Japanese later said the first price was within an acceptable range, but it was their custom to consider the proposal silently before giving their decision.

What is the Japanese custonl in accepting an offer?Part 2: Questions 21--25 are based on this part. (15 points)Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 21--25 are True or False according to tile information given in tile passage. Write "T" for true and "F" for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2Culture is shaped by attitudes learned in childhood and later internalized in adulthood.As we enter this current period of globalization and multieulturalism, we should expect to make adjustments and adopt new attitudes.Rules, values, and attitudes of a culture are not inherent. They are learned and passed down from generation to generation. For example, in many Middle Eastern and some Asian cultures, same-sex people may walk with hand-in-hand in the street, but opposite-sex people may not do so. In Arab cultures conversations are often held in close proximity, sometimes nose to nose. Bul in western cultures if a person stands too close, one may react as ifviolated: "He ;vas all over me like a rash." Cultural rules of behavior learned from yourfamily and society are conditioned from early childhood.The rules in any culture originated to reinforce that culture's values and beliefs. Theyact as normative forces. For example, in Japan the original barbie doll was a failure for many reasons, one of which was her toothy smite. Japan is a country where women cover theirmouths with their hands when they laugh so as not to expose their teeth. Exposing one'steeth is not only immodest but also aggressive. Although current cultural behavior may sometimes seem silly and illogical, nearly all serious rules and values originate in deep seared beliefs. Rules about exposing teeth or how close to stand are linked to values about sexuality, aggression, modesty, and respect. Acknowledging the inherent logic of a cultureis extremely important when learning to accept behavior that differs from one's own cultural behavior. Culture is the basis for how we tell the world, who we are and what we beLieve. Peoplebuild their identities through cultural overlays to their primary culture. North Americans,for example, make choices in education, career, place of employment, and life partner. Each o~ these choices Brings with it a set of rules, manners, ceremonies, hellefs, language, and values. They add to one's total cultural outlook, and they represent major expressions of a person's self-identity.To outsiders, the way we act those things that we do in daily life and work -- is the most visible parts of our culture. In Japan, for instance, harmony with the environment is important. Thus, when attending a flower show, a woman would wear a dress with pastelrather than primary colors to avoid detracting from the beauty of the flowers. And in India people avoid stepping on ants or insects Because they believe in reincarnation and are careful about all forms of life. These practices are outward symbols of deeper values that areinvisible but that pervade everything we think and do.2l,. In Western cultures conversations are often held in close proximity.Z2. Cultural rules of behavior are conditioned {rom early childhood.23. Exposing one's teeth is immodest according to the Japanese culture.24. North Americans choose their life partners based on a set of rules, manners andvalues.25. It is the visible values of culture that pervade everything we think and do.Section {][I: Communication Analysis [40 points]Instructions: The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication.

One is given by a Hong Kong Chinese and the other by an American businessman.A. Because most of our production is done in China now, and it's not really certain howHong Kong will be like after 1997, and since I think a certain amount of caution incommitting to TV advertisement is necessary because of the expense.

And the guest always brings arelatively rich present to the host. And the present should be well wrapped or untouched.2)In the west, a visit to home only means a meeting, not necessarily including a meal.And the present is treated not as important as it is in China.3)1 acted in a way that was based on Chinese customs, so I felt the American way wasvery interesting (unusual).Question 27.Case 2 (15 points, 10 points for the analysis, 5 points for overall language quality. )1)Traditional Chinese custom requires that during tile course of entertaining, the hosthas to always pour more wine or tea to the guest's glass or cup, and always adds more food to the guest's plate or bowl without asking whether it's wanted.2)Chinese guests know how to respond to this type of hospitality. They simply leave thewine, tea, or food in the container and stop having any more. But Tom, the American guest in the case didn't know this. 3) He followed the politeness rule of his culture: it's not good manners to leave food inone's own plate at a dinner table. Therefore, without any knowledge of the differencesbetween the two cultures, an Ameriean guest would very likely suffer from either drinking or eating too much in such a situation.Question 28.Case 3 (15 points, 10 points for the analysis, 5 points for overall language quality. )1)The message of the two versions is the same but the way it is expressed is different.)The first speech is made by the Chinese. Even though the words and sentences of the speaker are quite clear, it does not seem quite clear what the speaker's main point is.3)The second is wha! the Western people might expect.4)The reason lies in the different discourse patterns between Chinese and English. Thedeductive (topic-first) pattern is prevalent in the West. The Chinese and other Asians favor the inductive (topic delayed) pattern. The Western people are in the habit of directly expressing their ideas, while the Chinese employ an indirect way when presenting theirideas.。
