问题     As we all know, different countries have different cultures. "Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another."
    It is inevitable that the cultural difference has impact on business. For example, when a company having a meeting, the word "table" in American English means to put something on the agenda. But in British English it means to put something off the agenda. This example indicates how the culture affects the business.
    There are four cultural dimensions (方面) that were defined in Hofstede’s research: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity (男子气概). And recently Hofstede added one more: long-term and short-term orientation.
    Recently, Hofsteda said in a speech: "What I think the most significant influence in cultural difference is the power distance. I considered it as how much subordinates can consent or dissent with bosses or managers. It is the distance between a manager and subordinate. Among most oriental corporate cultures, there is hierarchism (等级制度), greater centralization."
According to Hofstede, power distance is______.

选项 A、the agreement among bosses and subordinates
B、the disagreement among managers and subordinates
C、the distance between managers and subordinates
D、the hierarchism in most corporations

答案C

解析 细节推断题。由线索词power distance定位到最后一段第一句和第三句。Hofstede说他认为权力距离是影响文化差异的最重要的因素,认为它是经理与下属之间的距离,故C)为正确答案。
