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."
What is the passage mainly about?
选项 A、Different customs.
B、Culture differences.
C、Different hierarchy.
D、Different countries.
答案B
解析 主旨大意题。文章讲了不同的国家有不同的文化，并引用了文化的概念，接着说明文化差异对商业的影响，然后提到了一些关于文化差异的研究，由此判断本文讨论的是关于文化差异的问题，故B)“文化差异”正确。
