12、her.It is impossible toseparate the two.Language is not a matter of grammatical rules.Each time we choosewords,form sentences and send a message,we also make cultural choices.We all agreethat language helps in communicating with people from different backgrounds.However,we may be less aware that cul

13、tural implications are necessary forunderstanding the language being used.If we choose language without being aware ofthe cultural implications,we may at best not communicate well and at worst send thewrong message.All languages have social questions and information questions.A social question,even

14、though it comes in question form,does not ask for information.It is simply ahelping hand to move the conversation forward.In American English the question“How are you?”is a social question.In many other countries,such as Germany,Russia,and Poland,“How are you?”is an information question.The speaker

15、actually wants toget an answer to the question.Language reflects the environment in which we live.In the Amazon area snow isnot part of the environment;therefore,people in that area do not have a word for“snow”.In areas where it snows occasionally,people have a word for“snow”,but itmay be just one w

16、ord without any differentiation.Most Americans,for example,usewords such as snow,powder snow,sleet,slush,blizzard,and ice.Thats the extent ofmost peoples snow vocabulary.People who live in an environment where it snows mostmonths of the year may have much more differentiated words for“snow”.In addit

17、ion to the environment,language reflects cultural values.Edwards Hall,forexample,points out that the Navajo do not have a word for“late”.Time,he tells us,does not play a role in Navajo life.There is a time to do something,a natural time ratherthan the artificial clock time that industrial countries

18、use.So the Navajo do not have thedifferentiated vocabulary connected with time and clocks that Americans have.14.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“intertwined”in Paragraph1?A.Different from each other.B.Difficult to be understood.C.Easily influenced by people.D.Closely connected

19、 to each other.15.Why does the author mention the“How are you?”question?A.To state the similarity of worldwide social communication.B.To give examples of the influence of education on language.C.To stress the importance of small talk in social communication.D.To explain different meanings of the sam

20、e words in different cultures.16.What does Paragraph 3 suggest?A.Different areas have different climates.B.Word differentiation varies in different cultures.C.Living conditions may have an influence on the language.D.Different words may have the same meaning in different areas.CAn employee whose per

22、eficial when it comes to a work environment.Being highly conscientious(勤 勉 认 真 的),lead researcher Jaap J.A.Denissen notes,is connected with beinghard-working and well-organized,qualities that are typically prized in employees.ButDenissen questioned the idea that there is an ideal personality type.Th

24、ve personality traits toquantify(量 化)the traits that a job requires.The researchers examined personality,yearly income,and jobs of 8,458 persons living in Germany.The results showed that fit really does matter,at least when it comes to extraversion,agreeableness,and openness to experiences.For these

25、 three traits,greater congruencebetween an employees own personality and a jobs requirements was connected withhigher income.Importantly,the data also showed that employees who were moreagreeable,more conscientious,or more open to experiences than their jobs requiredactually earned less than people

26、who had congruent levels of those traits.The researchers note that additional studies will be required to understand how jobexperiences,job satisfaction,and job performance might influence the associationbetween the individual job personality fit and income.The results of the present studydo suggest

27、 that achieving the right fit requires a special approach to knowing bothpersonal traits and job-related traits.Paying attention to the approach could haveimportant implications for both employees and employers.17.What does the previous research show?A.Conscientious people earn much.B.Certain person
