Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important, these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only the tip of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible” aspects of their culture exist.

Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour as cultural in origin.

Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.

Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result, mutual misunderstanding may arise.

What is the main purpose of the passage?

In most capital cities, which were built long before the heyday of the private car, there is rarely enough (21) ................... for moving traffic, and certainly not enough for parked vehicles. Buses move slowly because of the volume of traffic thus encouraging more commuters to abandon public. Banning traffic (22) .................. some areas may help, but such a solution may not actually diminish the number of cars coming into the city. What has happened in effect is that the needs of the private car have become the number one priority, (23) ............... the older functions of the city center as meeting place and focus for social life have been lost. The new city cannot survive without a series of ring roads. Giant car parks are its new palaces. During the working hours of the day, there is the constant din of traffic, but at night the center is (24) .................... empty, apart from a few homeless in doorways. Most people have commuted back to the suburbs, and very few of those who live in the center have cars, for often there is nowhere to park them. The old city, with its narrow streets, may still retain a (25) ................. air but that may be because it exists as an island, where no cars are permitted. Unless the local authorities have not yet (26)...................the courage to ban most traffic from the streets, in which case the city center is congested by day, and a gigantic car park by night.
