Ⅲ. 阅读表达【主题：人与社会 尊重差异】
With the development of Chinese and Western cultures, more and more people go to different countries for exchanging and learning. So knowing more about the differences becomes so necessary.
First, Western people express themselves directly, while Chinese act oppositely. Chinese are implicative(含蓄的) most of the time. When Chinese get angry or unsatisfied, most of them will say nothing. But if you are unsatisfied with a foreigner, you need to speak it out. Don’t hide your feelings because he or she doesn’t like it or can’t understand your thoughts.
Second, the value about things is different between Chinese and Western people. Chinese seem to be more worried about tomorrow, while Western people like to spend tomorrow’s money in advance. Western people believe that they should enjoy themselves at the moment and tomorrow is another day. So they enjoy everything they have now, having no clear plans for the future.
But remember, there is no judgement(评判) about which one is better. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We just need to know the differences and learn to understand each other. Every country’s culture has its own special meaning. What we need to do is to respect each other’s culture and get along with each other peacefully.
