Week 3 Culture (i) 3.5 Quiz
1、 The dominant American society appreciates and respects Chinese people for being modest and discreet.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：The author “worry that the dominant society may see Chinese people from a limited perspective, hedging us in with the stereotype”, which “may lead to actual intolerance and be part of the reason why there are few Chinese in top management positions, or in the main judiciary or political sectors” (Para. 22). Actually, the remarks that Chinese people are modest and discreet are “only the crust of the interaction, or what is said from the polite distance of social contexts” (Para. 26). They are only a stereotype of Chinese people’s exterior behavior.
2、 The right way for the Chinese to respond at the dinner table in America is to say directly whether they want to have anything or not.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 正确
分析：According to the author’s mother, “if you don’t breach the old rules of etiquette and say you want it, they won’t ask you again” at the dinner table in America (Para. 8). That means Chinese people should say directly whether they want to have anything or not and do not have to refuse for the sake of politeness if they in fact want to eat it.
3、 The generalization of Chinese people as “polite and modest” in American society is based upon in-depth study of Chinese culture.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：According to the author, this generalization “is not a true composite of Chinese culture but only a stereotype of our exterior behavior” (Para 26). These ideas about Chinese culture in American society “are not representative of new ideas, honest emotions, or considered thought” (Para 26).
4、 The author agrees with the description of Chinese language and culture as being indirect and polite.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 错误
分析：In the author’s opinion, what is mentioned in the article in The New York Times Magazine, in which Chinese language and culture is considered indirect and polite, is a complete rumor.(Para 10, 11)
5、 To support her opinion that to understand the difference between languages and behavior just through literal translation may lead to wrong generalizations, the author mentions how an outside observer might view Chinese people by just listening to her mother speak.
A:正确
B:错误
答案: 正确
分析：The author believes that it is dangerous to view the gulf between different languages and behavior through translation. (Para 21)
