（北京大学2010年研）【答案】正确【解析】中国人的体距比西方人的体距要小，在公共场合更是如此。

胡文仲《跨文化交际学概论》章节练习(价值观)【圣才出品】
第10章价值观一、填空题1．在中国及一些东方国家，_______高于个人主义，人们对环境的依赖性较强。
（厦门大学2010年研）【答案】群体主义【解析】在当今中国社会，人们对集体或群体仍有很强的归属感。
在群体取向的影响下，中国人提倡凡事以家庭、社会和国家利益为重，主张个人服从集体，崇尚“大公无私”等。
与西方的个人主义价值观不同，中国等东方一些国家以群体主义为主要取向。
2．这中国人常把________当做隐私，而对其隐私的处理是采取自我节制的心理压缩方式，他们常常把自己的真实感情和态度深深地埋在心里，不暴露出来，以适应群体取向或达到社会和谐。
（厦门大学2010年研）【答案】感情及个人态度等【解析】中国人常把感情以及个人态度等当做隐私，而对其隐私的处理是采用自我节制的心理压缩的方式。
人们常把他们认为隐私的事情埋在心里，自我消化，以适应群体取向或达到社会和谐。
因为感情和态度是属于个人的东西。
是一种隐私，公开化会破坏和谐，丢面子，严重了会受到社会谴责。
二、判断题1．全球化就是政治、经济和语言的一体化。
（首都师范大学2012年研）【答案】错误【解析】全球化（globalization）一词，是一种概念，也是一种人类社会发展的现象过程。
全球化目前有诸多定义，通常意义上的全球化是指全球联系不断增强，人类生活在全球规模的基础上发展及全球意识的崛起。
国与国之间在政治、经济贸易上互相依存。
而世界上有许多国家，每个国家都有不同的语言，要统一是几乎是不可能的。
2．汉语国际推广的目的是增强世界人民对于包括汉语在内的中华文化的了解和认识，为建构未来的和谐世界文化服务。
（首都师范大学2012年研）【答案】正确【解析】汉语国际推广，既是满足世界各国对汉语的需要，更重要的是弘扬中华文化，推动中华文化走出去、争取汉语乃至中华文化的国际话语权、提升国家“软实力”的需要，是中国自身发展的需要。
语言是文化的载体，文化是语言的内容，语言与文化相辅相成、形影相随。
胡文仲《跨文化交际学概论》章节练习(非语言交际)【圣才出品】
第6章非语言交际一、填空题1．通常把非言语行为分为以下几个类型：体态行为、时空行为、外表行为和________。
（厦门大学2011年研）【答案】类语言行为【解析】非语言行为的类型有：体态行为，时空行为，外表行为和类语言行为。
2．________是交际者利用空间距离传递信息的行为，即人们在言语交际中处理相互之间空间距离的方式。
（厦门大学2010年研）【答案】空间信息【解析】非言语交际包括体态语、副语言、客体语和环境语，其中，环境指的是文化本身所造成的生理和心理环境，而不是自然环境。
环境语中的空间信息是指交际者用空间距离传递信息，即人们在言语交际中处理相互之间空间距离的方式。
合理利用空间语可以加强交际的效果，有时还会超过言语的作用。
二、判断题1．语言是人们进行交际的唯一工具。
（北京大学2010年研）【答案】错误【解析】语言只是人们交际的一个手段。
除了语言这一重要工具，人们还使用许多其他手段表达自己的思想和感情、传送各种信息。
包括眼神、手势、身势、微笑、面部表情、服装打扮、沉默、身体的接触、讲话人之间的距离、讲话的音量、时间观念、对空间的使用等等。
2．手势语不是人际交往的工具。
（首都师范大学2011年研）【答案】错误【解析】除了语言这一重要工具，人们还使用许多其他手段表达自己的思想和感情、传送各种信息。
一切不使用语言进行的交际活动统称之为非语言交际（Nonverbal communication），手势即属于非语言交际。
3．英语国家的人在太阳穴处用食指划一圈表示要动动脑子。
（中山大学2011年研）【答案】错误【解析】英语国家的人在太阳穴处用食指划一圆圈表示太古怪了（too queer）。
4．进餐时，英语国家以肘部不放在桌子上为礼貌。
（中山大学2011年研）【答案】正确【解析】在美国，通常是吃饭的时候你的肘部不能放在桌子上。
事实上，这些严格的规定的意思当你用你的右手吃饭的时候，左手应该呆在你的大腿上。
5．在泰国摸孩子的头没有问题。
胡文仲《跨文化交际学概论》章节练习(跨文化交际学)【圣才出品】
第2章跨文化交际学一、判断题1．文化不是先天所有，而是后天习得的。
（北京外国语大学2010年研）【答案】正确【解析】文化的特性包括：①文化是人类所独有的，是区别人类和动物的主要标志；②文化不是先天所有，而是通过后天习得的一个人具有什么文化并不取决于他的种族，而是取决于他生活的文化环境；③文化中的大部分是不自觉的；④文化是人们行动的指南；⑤文化是动态的，文化的形态与一定的历史时期相联系文化一旦形成就具有一定的稳定性，但同时又是不断变化的。
2．跨文化交际学在欧洲发展得比较早。
【答案】错误【解析】跨文化交际学在欧洲发展得比较晚，国际跨文化教育训练与研究学会（SIETAR International）在欧洲的分支SIETAR Europa已经存在多年，开过多次会议。
还有另一个研究跨文化交际的组织在北欧活动，除了平时通过因特网在会员之间保持联系以外，也定期召开国际会议。
二、案例分析与写作1．请根据以下材料，按照“发现问题—分析问题--解决问题”的思路，写一篇1500 字以上的案例分析，要求观点明确、材料充实、结构严谨、条理清楚、语言规范、卷面整洁。
（北京外国语大学2010年研）材料：李英是在北京某大学汉语国际教育专业二年级的研究生，通过国家汉办的志愿者考试，被派往美国，成为一名汉语教师志愿者。
一个偶然的机会，李英认识了正在学习汉语的大卫。
在他们聊天的过程中，李英提到她喜欢户外活动，比如爬山、远足、露营等等。
大卫建议一起到城外附近的地方去爬山。
李英想了解当地的文化习俗，体验一下当地的生活方式，于是高兴地答应了，而且主动承诺做好一切准备。
但考虑到自己是女孩子，单独跟一个男孩子在一起不方便，于是邀请了自己的一些朋友跟自己一起去。
当他们再次见面的时候，李英和她的中国朋友们一起和大卫见了面，总共有十多个人。
大卫看上去不高兴，但什么也没说。
他尽量躲开其他人。
李英注意到他失望的表情，和落落寡欢的样子，但是不能理解。
她不明白，自己作了那么大的努力，承担了那么多的准备工作，而大卫却不高兴，究竟是为什么。

What should the Chinese do to help him out when he began to suffer loss?A major Canadian industrialist signed a property deal with a Chinese businessman in the Philippines, with whom he had hitherto enjoyed a long and mutually profitable association. At first, everything went smoothly and both sides made efforts to turn the project into a promising deal. Three months later, the Chinese began suffering losses in his core business, and he began covering them by withdrawing funds from the property investment. The Canadian at first paid no attention to it and they still cooperated well. However, the Chinese businessman continuously withdrew funds from the project which brought risk to its operation.After a few months, the Canadian had some doubts and decided to send his legal advisor on a fact-finding mission since he was tied up with other work. The legal advisor had worked for him for a long time and solved many problems for the company. Before the adviser left for Philippines, the Canadian did not call his Chinese partner and told him that his legal advisor would come to see him. The Chinese was surprised to receive a phone call from the airport,“I am Mr. X, legal advisor. He has asked me to find a solution to his problems”Since he hadn't heard of the lawyer before, he had to confirm all the matters with Canadian. Even he got the confirmation, he was still reluctant to talk with the lawyer. The Chinese was proud of his status as an independent and successful entrepreneur. He was used to dialing only with persons of the same status, and was not prepared to negotiate on equal terms with a“servant.” To make things worse, when the lawyer pushed him on the negotiation, he responded by delaying, and finally refusing to meet him. After spending three days kicking his heels in a hotel,the lawyer returned to Toronto. The Canadian industrialist wrote the letter to put an end to this property deal as soon as the lawyer came back.。

As soon as my plate was empty they would put more on. Of course, I felt duty-bound to eat that too.A Chinese guest: Can you imagine how many dishes I had? Only one -- a stew with meat and vegetables. The meat was over done and too hard to eat; green vegetables were no longer green. They never put food on your plate but just ask you to help yourself. If you, as a guest, are shy or modest, waiting for the food to be put on your plate, you will remain half-starved.Question: Are there any differences in hospitality between a Chinese and English?
