It is necessary to learn how to communicate with people from other cultures to build good relationships with them． Here are some rules．

Learn about the culture first．（1）　　Before meeting with someone from another culture， try to take time to learn the basic "dos and don'ts" of that culture．

（2）　　Each culture has its own values， beliefs and prejudices． You shouldn't judge people based on these differences． Instead， respect them for what they are． You may even learn something new．

Speak clearly and slowly． Don't shout at others． Raising your voice doesn't make you easier to understand．（3）　　Communication difficulties lie in cultural differences， not because of intelligence．

Understand rules about touching． Some cultures may expect more physical contact（接触） between people． For example， some cultures may shake or touch hands more readily than others．（4）　　

A．Do not treat other people as if they are silly．

B．A little knowledge can be helpful．

C．Show respect for the culture．

D．So don't take it as impolite．

完成表格．阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺的信息，每空一词．

When I was a teenager growing up in a town， I felt studying very boring， I wanted to leave school and have my own life． There were only two ways for me to do this﹣working in the toy factory in my town， or getting married． I chose the first one． I was nervous when I told my father that I wanted to leave school． I thought he would say，"No! You are going to college．" Instead， he surprised me when he said， "OK．We'll go to the toy factory．"

Two days later， he took me to the factory． I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory． I had imagined everyone to be friendly working together and having fun． I even imagined there would be music and singing． I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager．

When we arrived at the factory gates， my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we went inside． My father said， "Take your time． Look around．" I walked around the factory， looking at the buildings， the workers， and listening to the noise． It was terrible． I ran back to my father and said， "I want to go home．"

He asked me， "What do you think of the factory？"

"It's terrible．" I replied．

"You have the other choice if you don't want to go back to school． But I think getting married is even worse!" he said．

I went back to school the next day．From then on， I studied as hard as I could． Finally I got into a good college． I enjoyed studying English， so I decided to major in languages at college． Thanks to my father and our trip to the factory， now I work in a company which is a big one in a city． And my father takes pride in me． I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!
