28、m another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal（信号）. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize（强调）the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For
29、 example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier
30、 to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
31、 The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.Even within Northern Europe, cult
32、ural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.People fr
33、om different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other.

37、 Within Northern Europe, there are no such things as cultural differences.C. There is no way to overcome cultural differences.D. Different cultures have difference in relationship building.D Forgiving someone who has hurt you or let you down is never an easy thing. Several new studies, however, say
38、that it could have a lot of health benefits. When you think of forgiveness, you probably dont think of it as being a health or medical problem. Studies from Stanford University, on the other hand, show that something like anger can change your well-being.When cartoon book characters like the Incredi
39、ble Hulk get angry, they change colours and often gain special power. In the real world, anger is less obvious and may be more dangerous. Thats why Professor Fred Luskin, founder of the Stanford Forgiveness Project and author of Forgive for Good, says holding on to anger and hatred can harm your phy
40、sical and mental health. Two new studies seem to show the same idea.The studies find that people who are able to forgive feel less stress, less back pain, and less depression(抑郁).

41、s caused by the traffic or other things. Learning to let it go is important. Techniques such as deep breath or thought can help. Or just ask yourself if its worth hurting yourself by staying angry with someone else. Forgiveness does not mean that you simply accept what happened and say its OK. Inste
42、ad, its a way of making peace with yourself about what happened in the past. 41.
