12.No two cultures are the same.The American and Indian cultures have very vast differences between them.While the culture of America is a mixture of different cultures,the Indian culture is unique and has its own values.One of the major differences that can be seen between American and Indian culture is in family relations.While the Indians are very much family oriented(以…为方向的),the Americans are individual oriented.In Indian culture,the family values are given more importance than the individual values.Indians respect family values.On the other hand,in American culture the individual values get more importance than the family values.
In another sense,it can be said that the American culture is more goal oriented and the Indian culture is more people or family oriented.Indians may even forsake their individual wishes and also happiness for the sake of families.But in American culture,this trend(倾向) cannot be seen.
Unlike the Indians,the Americans plan things ahead.The Americans believe in controlling nature and controlling the world around them.On the contrary,Indians believe in the harmony with nature.Another difference that can be seen between Indian culture and American culture is that the Indians love stability(稳定) while the Americans love mobility.
In American culture,one can see that the individuals think of independence.On the other hand,Indians are more dependent on others.While the children in the US are brought up to live an independent life,the children in India are not brought up in that way.In Indian culture,there is respect for the elders and it is they who make decisions.But in American culture,each individual makes his own decisions.
Coming to competition,Indians are more competitive than the Americans.Coming to work nature,the Indians work for meeting the family needs.On the contrary,an American will only strive to rise on his own ability.Another difference that can be seen is that Americans have a great regard for time and its value.But Indians are different.

29.B 词义猜测题.根据第三段的"…the American culture is more goal oriented and the Indian culture is more people or family oriented",可知美国文化更多地以目标为导向而印度文化则更多地以人或家庭为导向,故为了家庭的利益可以放弃个人的意愿和幸福,所以答案选择B.
