It's not useful for you if you can't remember what you read or study. You just waste your time.

If you want to remember what you study or read well, you must have a special purpose or reason for reading. When you know why you're reading, you can remember better.

Think why a salesgirl in a store goes away when your answer to her offer is "No, thank you. I'm just looking around", because both you and she know that you aren't sure what you want. But if you say, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sunglasses. "Instead, She will say, "Right this way, please.” And she will be very glad to lead you to what you want.

It's quite the same with your studying or reading. If you choose a book, you only think, " just look” but without any purpose, you are likely to get nothing. But if you know what you want, you are almost sure to get something from it when you read or study. You want"to find out more about…"to understand the reason for…". A good reader has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing. He can connect the information to his goal and remember it better.

Reading is not one single activity, either. At least two important processes go on at the same time.

As you read, you take in ideas quickly and correctly. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself when you read: You have a kind of mental conversation with the writer. If you express your ideas, they may sound like this:"Yes, I agree. That's my opinion, too, or"Oh, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I'd better check those dates,” Or “But there are some other facts to be considered!” You don’t just sit there taking in ideas, you really do something else, and that something else is very important.

Another process of thinking about what you read includes judging it, connecting it to what you already know, and using it for your own goals. In other words, a good reader is a critial （批评的）reader. When you read, you can tell between facts and opinions. Another part of critical reading is you can judge sources. Still another part is drawing right conclusions.

【1】Is it useful if you can't remember what you read or study?

【2】What must you do if you want to remember what you read?

【3】What can you get if you just look at a book without any purpose?

【4】How many important processes when you read?

【5】What's the passage mainly about?

Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first step of learning. It usually involves things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.

To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first step. This is a challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call"culture" is hard to see.

Culture is like an iceberg. Imagine in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.

When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You watch new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They can be seen easily and quickly.

The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions (设想)， communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture influences much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves understanding the hidden part of culture.

【1】To really understand another culture, people should .

A.learn the rules of languageB.learn the hidden culture

C.visit some local peopleD.live with some local people

【2】Which of the following does the writer agree?

A.Communication styles can be easily seen and learned

B.Language learning is more important than culture learning

D.People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.

【3】The passage is mainly about .

A.learning about culture.B.learning about people

C.the hidden part of the icebergD.fluency in another language
