B. Choose the best option to answer the question (1,25p):                                   

Many people think that we can learn a lot about the culture of a foreign country simply by living in that country. However, this is not necessarily true. Often, the longer we stay in a foreign country, the more we realize how little we actually know about the culture of that country.

              Books and talks about other people’s culture can even be dangerous because they concentrate on cultural differences and exaggerate national character, and sometimes a lot of information they contain is untrue.

              In a study recently carried out inBritain, people were asked to make a list of anything that they thought was typical ofBritainand would interest a foreign visitor there. Most mentioned Shakespeare, the Queen, village inns, English folk dancing, English castles, and fish chips wrapped in newspaper . Although all of these characters can be found in British culture, they do not show the real interests of ordinary British people: (they are, in fact, simply stereotype- that is, general character which people wrongly think are typical). What is surprising is that they were suggested by British people themselves as representing their culture. If people have such a wrong impression of their own culture, how much false would their impression of their culture be!

A. we will usually realize that we know very little about its culture

B. we will sometimes forget about culture of our own country

C. we can often learn a lot about the culture of the foreign country

D. we can seldom find out anything at all about its culture

2.  It is hard to learn about a country’s cultural from books because such books . . . . .

A. concentrate on the dangers of the foreign culture             B. exaggerate national character

C. take no notice of culture different                                   D. contain little information about culture

3. When asked about their own culture, many British people . . . . . .

A. gave incorrect answers                                            B. were surprised by the question asked

C. argued they know little about British culture

D. said they themselves were not typical of British people

4.  It can be inferred from the last paragraph that it’s easy to . . . . . .

A. give exact information about your own country                B. describe stereotypes of your country

C. know a lot about your own country’s culture                     D. know the culture of other countries
