Communication challenges:Cultural and language differences can hinder effective communication.Workers who are not fluent in the primary language used in the workplace mayhave difficulty expressing their needs or responding to requests from colleagues.If their job involves customer contact,people may have difficulty understanding a customer inquiry and provide incorrect or misleading information.A customer who is unable to clearly understand the worker due to a heavy accent or lack of command of the language may become frustrated and take his business elsewhere.Employee resistance:If an organization is attempting to convert from a homogeneous workforce to one that is more culturally diverse,some members of the original workforce may resist the change.They may be unwilling or unable to adapt tothe ways of workers from different cultural backgrounds than their own and may even resent their presence.For management,resistance poses a significant challenge to creating a work environment that fosters teamwork and harmony, and employee morale may suffer if management cannot find ways to overcome this barrier. Development of cliques:A diverse workforce could lead to the formation of cliques where workers of similar cultural backgrounds or who speak the same primary language bond together.Individuals may have little social interaction with thoseoutside of their clique,engaging them only out of business necessity.In culturally integrated work groups,some members may choose to speak their primary language with each other instead of the primary workplace language,leaving others to feel they are being excluded from the conversation.Management style:Managers may face the obstacle of having to adapt their management style to meet the needs of workers from a different culture.Workers from Latin American countries,for instance,often believe that asking questions of a supervisor is a sign of disrespect and that they should simply do as they are told.A supervisor who implements an open-door policy may become frustrated with the lack of input from these workers and have to take steps to convince them that their suggestions are encouraged and valued.Text IComprehension CheckI.Reading for general ideas1.Fill in the blanks to complete the outline of the text.Suggested answersThesis statement:English has become a global language,butthe triumph is dubious.

by the native people in England has developedand improved a lot.2.But no matter how adaptable English may turn out to be,the real reason for the success ofEnglish lies in the success of United States—where the language is spoken—as a leading power in the world.3.As the20th century was approaching,and English kept on expanding beyond limits,Frenchwas driven to a weaker position.4.But for many peoples the success of English means the defeat,if not a complete15extinction,of their own language.5.Therefore,the success of English not only defeats other languages,but separates nativeEnglish-speakers from the literature,history and ideas of other ethnic groups.part threeText IIComprehension CheckI.Reading for specific informationSuggested answers1.There are some suggestions from those experienced inintercultural business,which hold thatone should do business in the local language,mainly in consideration of the customer’s convenience.But it depends on the businessman’s proficiency of the foreign language.There is no problem if he is able to express himself and understand the other fully in the local language.But if not,his native language is more advisable.2.The old German saying is out of the consideration for the customer’s convenience.Only whenthe customer is totally sure of the advantages and cost of the product,is he likely to purchase it.Doing business in the customer’s language will enhance the possibility of success.But it tells only one side of the story:it ignores the fact that the poor language proficiency of the seller may become a hindrance to the business.In this case,an interpreter,especially one on your side,often helps out.3.The author mentions several examples to illustrate cultural barriers in doing business.A casein point is humorous remarks,which are indispensable in U.K.after-dinner speeches,but a target of public criticism in France.Another example is body language such as eye contact, which is perceived as a symbol of honesty and attentiveness in Western culture,but as aggressiveness in the Far East.Other cultural discrepancies include directness or indirectness in speech;even terms like“yes”and“no”might be interpreted differently in different cultures.4.The Japanese have developed ambiguity of expression to an art form.They seldom speak itdirectly when they don’t agree,but rather express it in a roundabout way so that the other part may feel less hurt oroffended.When you hear a Japanese say“yes”,he might mean the opposite.Therefore,in the eyes of Westerners,the Japanese are very difficult to understand. 5.Humor is treated differently in different cultures.For instance,if you make an after-dinner speech in the U.K.,you are heavily criticiz ed if you don’t make a joke.However,you will be criticized if you do so in France.The British self-mocking humor is not easily understood II.Reading and making interpretationsSuggested answers1.It seems that the Japanese have found their own way of dealing with unexpected jokes orhumor.2.Another way of dealing with a nonnative English speaker who speaks strange andhard-to-understand English is to turn to the help of French translation or just stop listening to him by tuning in to music.3.The Japanese style of listening consists of a whole supply of body gestures,facial expressionsand noises that show politeness.4.The Japanese people are well-known to be difficult to understand in that they play the strengthof the vagueness of their language to an artistic level.5.They are just showing perfect politeness,so much so that when they say“yes”,they mayactually mean“no”.Part FourText IIIQuestions for Group DiscussionSuggested answers1.Many European countries are multilingual.However,mostnative British people aremonolingual.2.On one hand,the victory of English means that English-speaking countries have a great headstart in development and prosperity—it is the language of the Internet,of science,of business.On the other hand,paradoxically,the monolingual situation tends to make the countries less competitive when the rest of the world is forced to become multilingual.Besides,native English speakers are often unconscious of other cultures around them,and are actually unwilling to understand them.3.The saying also applies to foreign language learning.What the monolingual blithely ignore isthat a second language is essential for picking up the particularities in their own cultures as well as those of others.4.Answers may vary.Part FiveStudy SkillsSuggested answersSlang Sentence/Dialoguewoke I can’t

world.(Lillian Smith,Killers of the Dream)5.Little girls,of course,don’t take toy guns out of their hip pockets and say“Pow,pow”to alltheir neighbors and friends like average well-adjusted little boys.However,if we gave little girls the six-shooters,we would soon have double the pretend Body Count.(Anne Roiphe,“Confessions of a Female Chauvinist Sow”)6.We drove the wagon close to a corner post,twisted the end of the wire around it one footabove the ground,and stapled it fast.Next,we drove along the line of posts for about200 yards,unreeling the wire on the ground behind us.(John Fischer,“Barbed Wire”)7.We know very little about pain and what we don’t know makes it hurt all the more.Indeed,noform of illiteracy in the United States is so widespread or costly as ignorance about pain.(Norman Cousins,“Pain Is Not the Ultimate Enemy”)8.Many of our street girls can be as vicious and money mad as any corporation president.Moreover,they can be less emotional than men in conducting acts of personal violence.(Gail Sheehy,“$70,000a Year,T ax Free”)9.The historical sciences have made us very conscious of ourpast,and of the world as amachine generating successive events out of foregoing ones.For this reason,some scholars tend to look totally backward in their interpretation of the human future.(Loren Eiseley,The Unexpected Universe)10.Rewriting is something that most writers find they have to do to discover what they have tosay and how to say it.There are,however,a few writers who do little formal rewriting because they have the capacity and experience to create and review a large number of invisible drafts in their minds before they approach the page.(Donald M.Murray,“The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscripts”)。

WishesA wish is a longing or desire for something, often something that is difficult to obtain or achieve.When used as a verb, wish is usually followed by a that-clause. If you wish that something was the case, you would like it to be the case, though you know it is unlikely or impossible. Note that a past tense, rather than a present tense, is used in the that-clause after wish to express a desire for the future. For example, you do not say "I wish I live nearer London". You say "I wish I lived nearer London". However, you can use hope in this way as "I hope you like this village".What's more, wish can be used with a to-infinitive or two objects. For instance, you can say "I don't wish to waste our time" or "I wish you a pleasant journey".RegretsRegret is used to say that someone feels sadness or disappointment about something that has happened, or about something they had done. More formal than "be sorry", regret is not normally used in conversation but in formal letters and announcement to make apology. When giving others some bad news, you can begin by saying "I'm sorry to tell you...". In a formal letter, you say "I regret to tell you...". You either regret something or doing something. You can also use a that-clause after regret.Useful ExpressionsYou may express wishes like this:I want to be an actress.I hope you like this village.I hope / wish to see you again.I wish I were younger.What if you could ski?If only I could stay for another day.Best wishes for your holiday.Have a good time on the sea.Please give my best wishes to Sally.Please remember me to your wife.Say hello to Joe.Please give my love / kindest regards to your grandpa.Best of luck with your driving test.I wish you every possible happiness.May I wish you luck in writing your book.Keep your fingers crossed and hope it doesn't rain tonight.You may express wishes and regrets like this:I should have visited the Great Wall when in Beijing.I do wish that I'd waited at the second crossing.I immediately regretted my decision.I'm sorry about last night.I regretted not leaving the key to my friend.I'm sorry to tell you this, but you fail to enter the second round.ConversationUseful Expressionsring sb. up: make a phone call to sb.Mary didn't ring me up last night.Cf. ring up ring call phoneRing: When you ring someone, you dial their phone number and speak to them by phone. You can say that someone ring s a place.I rang Aunt Jane this evening.You must ring the hospital at once.Ring up: In conversation, people often use ring up, instead of ring. There is no difference in meaning. Note that you do not use "to" after ring or ring up.He had rung up Emily and told her all about it.Call: American speakers do not say that one person rings another. The word they use is a call. Some British speakers also say call.Phone: When you phone someone, you dial their phone number and speak to them by phone. You can also phone a place. Note that you do not use "to" after phone.I went back to the motel to phone Jenny.He phoned the police station and speak to the officer in charge.Main IdeaThis text is written in a style called "stream of consciousness", or "interior monologue", in which a character's inner thoughts, impressions, and memories are dictated as if directly overheard without the obvious interruption of a summarizing and selecting narrator. Such a style emphasizes the unbroken record or continuous flow of a character's sense-perceptions, thoughts, feeling and memories by abandoning strict logic, syntax and punctuation. In this text, the girl's thoughts and feelings are expressed exactly as they pass through her mind rather than being ordered in a way that usually appears in novels. The first-person narrator "I" not only presents the girl's tension and emotion in a vivid, realistic way but also encourages the readers to share the girl's worry and concern. The use of short, choppy sentences also contributes to describing the girl's restlessness.本文采用了"意识流"或"内心独白"的写作方式，即将人物内心的思想、印象、记忆一一录写出来，避免用明显的叙事者总结或转换等干预手段。
