Reаd the fоllоwing selectiоn аnd choose the best аnswer to the question that follows. Cultures differ in the overall amount of touching they prefer. People from high-contact cultures such as those in the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe touch each other in social conversations much more than do people from noncontact cultures such as Asia and northern Europe. These cultural differences can lead to difficulties in intercultural communication. Germans, Scandinavians, and Japanese, for example, may be perceived as cold and aloof by Brazilians and Italians, who in turn may be regarded as aggressive, pushy, and overly familiar by northern Europeans. Cultures also differ in where people can be touched. In Thailand and Malaysia, for instance, the head should not be touched because it is considered to be sacred and the locus of a person's spiritual and intellectual powers. In the United States, the head is far more likely to be touched. Cultures vary in their expectations about who touches whom. In Japan, for instance, there are deeply held feelings against the touch of a stranger. These expectations are culture-specific, and even cultures that exist near one another can have very different norms. Among the Chinese, for instance, shaking hands among people of the opposite sex is perfectly acceptable; among many Malay, it is not. Indeed, for those who practice the Muslim religion, casual touching between members of the opposite sex is strictly forbidden. However, this social taboo refers only to opposite-sex touching; it is perfectly acceptable for two women to hold hands or for men to walk arm in arm. In contrast, many European Americans react negatively to same-sex touching but do not mind opposite-sex touching. Finally, cultures differ in the settings or occasions in which touch is acceptable. Business meetings, street conversations, and household settings all evoke different norms for what is considered appropriate. Cultures make distinctions between those settings that they regard as public and those considered private. Although some cultures regard touching between men and women as perfectly acceptable in public conversations, others think that such activities should occur only in the privacy of the home. —adapted from Lustig and Koester, Intercultural Competence, pp. 211-212The purpose of this selection is to describe cultural differences in

Reаd the pаssаge and answer the questiоn that fоllоws. 1It is through their everyday experiences that children gain the oral language skills they need to become strong readers and learners in the future. 2From their parents and other adults in their lives, as well as their peers, children learn words, which they then use to further expand their vocabularies and to build concepts about words and the world. 3Lacking exposure to rich language experiences can cause children to rapidly lose ground in their word learning and the word gap between them and their peers can widen substantially by the age of 4. adapted from “Joining Oral Language and Early Literacy,” published by www.reading.org What is the topic?
