I. READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUB-TITLE (A-D) FOR EACH PARAGRAPH.
A. THE INEXACTITUDE OF LANGUAGE
B. PREVENTING MISUNDERSTANDINGS
C. INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
D. FOSTERING RESPECT
E. AVOIDING CONFLICTS
Para 1[答案 C]
Intercultural communication refers to messages transmitted between members of two or moredifferent societies. Effective intercultural communication helps firms avoid conflict, preventmisunderstandings, and foster respect.
Para 2[答案 E]
The workplace is growing more perse every day. Managers cannot assume that what theyfind inoffensive will also be inoffensive to their subordinates. A lack of sensitivity canlead to claims of discrimination or harassment, which costs firms big money. Interculturalcommunication involves exercising sensitivity and tact to avoid such conflicts.
Para 3[答案 A]
We human beings have developed language to communicate ideas to one another. Still, ourlanguage represents an imperfect form of communication. Sometimes, words cannot accuratelyconvey an idea, because the information might be highly complex. Also, a concept that existsin one culture or language might not be part of another. Effective intercultural communicationtries to bridge language gaps as effectively as possible so that everyone at the workplacefinds themselves on the same page.
Para 4[答案 B]
Given the inexactitude of language, misunderstandings can frequently arise between peoplefrom different cultures when they exchange information. Idioms often become lost in translation.
For example, the English expression to shoulder responsibility translates into Swedish as bea man for your hat. Intercultural communication does not rely on expressions native to aparticular language that could lead to confusion； rather, it relies on clear messages thatall parties understand.
Para 5[答案 D]
Communication happens differently in various cultures. What one society finds acceptablemay be anathema to another. When coworkers from different cultures do not take these differencesinto account, not only does communication suffer but conflicts come to the fore. Effectiveintercultural communication does not try to ignore societal differences； rather, it respectsthe variations among the human race and enables people to transmit information clearly.

Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in arich woman' s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family wasimpoverished, so Maggie' s mother started doing laundry in her home. Maggie had to help her.

All communication begins with the sender and ends with the receiver. The sender isresponsible for successful conveyance. The sender' s personality, beliefs, cultural andeducational background all influence the message and it is important for the sender to be awareof this as he or she is encoding the message. Simply put, encoding is translating informationinto symbols that represent the ideas or concepts of the message that needs sending. Thesesymbols are usually words in written or spoken form. To ensure successful communication, thesender should know as much about his or her audience – the receiver – as possible in orderto focus and support the encoding process.
In addition to this awareness of self and encoding, the sender must choose the proper channelfor conveying the message. Using the wrong channel may result in miscommunication. Like thesender, receivers are influenced by internal factors： their personality, their receptivityto the message or their relationship to the sender. Additionally, their current feelings, mood,or state of mind can affect a message. Once the message moves through the channel, the receiverthen decodes it. The receiver uses his or her own experience and the context of the messageto interpret its meaning.
Feedback is the return message from the receiver to the sender. It is feedback that enablesthe sender to know whether the message was received successfully or not. Therefore it isessential to the communication process.
This process, though very common, is fraught with potential breakdown at every turn. Spokenor written language is inherently easy to misinterpret. In conclusion, effective and successfulCommunication takes place when the message is successfully received and the receiver providesthe sender with desirable feedback.
1. The sender' s gender also influences the message. [答案 F]
2. Encoding is a process that translating information into symbols which serve as the ideas
or concepts of the message that will be sent later. [答案 T]
3. These symbols are usually words and sentences in written form. [答案 F]
4. Channel is not crucial for conveying the message. [答案 F]
5. Feedbacks enable the sender to know whether the receiver has received the messagesuccessfully or not. [答案 T]

Charity is a concept which dates back to Biblical times, when helping the poor was somethingthat rich people basically did to make themselves feel good. Social work has its roots in charity,as it originally began around the time of the industrial revolution when there were many poorpeople and society was seeking a way of dealing with the poor and social problems. Althoughsocial work began as charity work, it has expanded a lot and needs to be seen from a completelydifferent perspective.
