Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Your should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding
letter on Answer Sheet A.
Passage 1
A famous Native American proverb tells us “We should not judge another person until we have walked two moons
in his moccasins.” Our next suggestion for improvement is about “wearing those moccasins.” That is, we need to develop
empathy---be able to see things from the point of view of others. Many researchers in the area of interpersonal and
intercultural competence believe that our success as communicators depends, to a large extent, on our “skill at
establishing and maintaining desired identities for both self and others.” “Identities” are actually the pictures
of ourselves and the other person that we hold in our heads. We use these pictures I two ways. First, our identities
help us to define the messages we receive from others; and second, they assist us in selecting the most appropriate message
to send to another person. We have already discussed knowing ourselves; our focus now is on our need to develop empathy
(emotional identification) and role-taking (cognitive adaptation) competence so that we can better know and adjust to
the other person.
Before we begin our discussion of empathy and role taking, we need to restate two important ideas. First,
as with so much of our counsel, we are again faced with a skill that is easier to talk about than to put into practice.
The fact remains that however similar we may appear to be, there is something distinctive and unique about each of us.
Our internal states are elusive and fleeting, and we know them only as distorted shadows. Knowing the other person, and
predicting his or her reactions and needs, is a difficult and troublesome activity. And when we add the dimension of
culture, we compound the problem.
Second, although we have focused primarily on culture, we also are concerned with the “interpersonal
aspects” of intercultural communication. Perhaps the interpersonal dimension of communication is most evident in the
area of empathy. As Miller and Steinberg noted, “To communicate interpersonally, one must heave the cultural and
sociological levels of predications and psychically travel to the psychological level.” Simply put, empathy, while using
knowledge about another’s culture to make predications, also demands that the point of analysis be the individual
personality.
A number of behaviors can keep us from understanding the feelings, thoughts, and motives of another
person---regardless of his or her culture. Before we look at some of the ways to improve our role-taking skills, it might
be helpful to examine a few characteristics that can impede empathy.
56. What would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. Develop Empathy
B. Importance of Empathy
C. Importance of Identities
D. Relationship between Interpersonal Competence and Intercultural Communication
57. Why do we need to develop empathy according to the passage?
A. In order to have a better self identification
B. In order to improve our role-taking skills
C. In order to make better predications
D. In order to understand better and adapt ourselves to the other person
58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In order to communicate successfully, we should learn to see things from the point of view of others.
B. To establish identities for both self and others is easier said than done.
C. It’s easier to understand another culture than to know the other person and predict his or her reactions and needs.
D. The individual personality is an important factor in the area of empathy.
59. In line 5 in the second paragraph, the word “elusive” could be replaced by “________” .
A. distracting and diverse
B. hard to comprehend or identify
C. hard to control
D. tending to disappear
60. A paragraph following the passage would most probably discuss ________ .
A. Establishing and Maintaining Desired Identities
B. How to Improve Role – Taking Skills
C. Hindrances to Empathy
D. Improving Empathy
Passage 2
The conflict between good and evil is a common theme running through the great literature and drama of the world,
from the time of the ancient Greeks to all the present. The principle that conflict is the heart of dramatic action when
illustrated by concrete examples, almost always turns up some aspects of the struggle between good and evil.
The idea that there is neither good nor evil – in any absolute moral or religious sense – is widespread in our
times. There are various relativistic and behavioristic standards of ethics. If these standards even admit the distinction
between good and evil, it is a relative matter and not as whirlwind of choices that lies at the center of living. In
any such state of mind, conflict can at best, be only a petty matter, lacking true universality. The acts of the evildoer
and of the virtuous man alike become dramatically neutralized. Imagine the reduced effect of Crime and Punishment or
the Brothers Karamazoc had Dostoevsky thought that good and evil, as portrayed in those books, were wholly relative,
and if he had no conviction about them.
You can’t have a vital literature if you ignore or shun evil. What you get then is the world of Pollyanna, goody-goody
in place of the good. Cry, the Beloved Country is a great and dramatic novel because Alan Paton, in addition to being
a skilled workman, sees with clear eyes both good and evil, differentiates them, pitches them into conflict with each
other, and takes sides. He sees that the native boy Absalom Kumalo, who has been murdered, cannot be judged justly without
taking into account the environment that has had part in shaping him. But Paton sees, too, that Absalom the individual,
not society the abstraction, committed the act and is responsible for it. Mr. Paton understands mercy. He knows that
this precious thing is not evoked by sentimental impulse, but by a searching examination of the realities of human action.
Mercy follows a judgment; it does not precede it.
One of the novels by the talented Paul Bowles, Let It Come Down, is full of motion, full of sensational depravities,
and is a crashing bore. The book recognizes no good, admits no evil, and is coldly indifferent to the moral behavior
of its characters. It is a long shrug. Such a view of life is nondramatic and negates the vital essence of drama.
61. In our age, according to the author, a standpoint often taken in the area of ethics is the ________.
A. relativistic view of morals
B. greater concern with conscience
