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 the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, a meeting, etc... This may not be true in some other countries, however. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 a.m, and end at 12 a.m. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 11 a.m. Although all of the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologised for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.

In American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour. On the other hand, in Brazil, neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour. Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but they also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at noon, many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be important in Brazil, neither is staying late.

The explanation for these differences is complicated. People from Brazilian and North American cultures have different feelings about lateness. In Brazil, the students believe that a person who usually arrives late is probably more successful than a person who is always on time. In fact, Brazilians expect a person with status or prestige to arrive late, while in the United States, lateness is usually considered to be disrespectful and unacceptable. Consequently, if a Brazilian is late for an appointment with a North America, the American may misinterpret the reason for the lateness and become angry.

As a result for his study, the professor learned that the Brazilian students were not being disrespectful to him. Instead, they were simply behaving the appropriate way for a Brazilian student in Brazil. Eventually, the professor was able to adapt his own behavior to feel comfortable in the new culture.

Dịch bài

Mỹ có rất nhều kiểu gia đình. Trong khi phần lớn là các gia đình truyền thống, gồm bố, mẹ cùng một hoặc nhiều con, thì lại có 22% các gia đình theo thống kê năm 1998 chỉ có một phụ huynh, thường là người mẹ. Một số ít khác là các gia đình không con. Những cặp đôi còn non trẻ cho rằng họ không phải bố mẹ tốt; họ muốn tránh trách nhiệm sinh dưỡng con cái; hoặc cũng có lẽ do thể chất không thể sinh. Các gia đình khác thì có một người lớn là cha (mẹ) kế. Mẹ kế hay cha dượng là người gia nhập qua việc kết hôn cùng bố hoặc mẹ.

Người Mỹ chấp nhận những kiểu gia đình này. Tại Mỹ, mọi người có quyền riêng tư và không ai có tư cách buộc người khác phải có kiểu gia đình thế này hay thế kia. Họ tôn trọng sự lựa chọn của nhau trong cách quyết định kiểu gia đình của mình. Gia đình rất quan trọng đối với người Mỹ.
