Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2022·辽宁名校联盟高一联考)The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other,with various customs and beliefs coexisting.America and Singapore are typical examples.Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind.That's why many feel as if people are living in a multicultural age.
Culture shapes identity and influences behaviors,and cultural diversity makes one accept,or to some extent,even integrate and assimilate(同化) into other cultures.To adapt to a diverse cultural community,the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from one's own.Take a positive view of different cultures,and we can broaden our horizons.Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history,but by mixing with people from other cultures,they may have the opportunity to learn about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start,a great point is to pick up a book about another culture they are interested in,or do some online research on reputable International websites.The best way to learn,though,is through facetoface interaction with people from other cultures.One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures,since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
Understanding diversity is important for us adults.It's the same for our children too,especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles,Shanghai,or Hong Kong.If our children are not aware of diversity,then they become closeminded.This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying.Show them how diverse the world is.Help them be more openminded toward people of different races,cultures,and countries.
