Like many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, s1. walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.

In o2. to realize their wish, they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching（調(diào)查） the industry. One figure caught their attention: they’d read some- where that roughly 20 percent of books sold were mysteries（推理小說）, and many buyers spent more than 300 a year on books. Mary and Richard were t3. mystery readers and owned a big collection of such books.

On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafe near their home. With three children in college it was i4. for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the whole $100, 000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.

The store broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to a5. customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to d6. their stories. Today Mystery Lovers make sales of about 420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.

“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an e7. life for ourselves, not about making a lot of money.

Fluency in another language is a dream of a newcomer to another country. Besides, understanding the culture and learning to communicate comfortably with people of that culture are as important as learning the rules of the language. Language learning and culture learning go together and may take a long time.

Sometimes people feel that they understand a culture after a few weeks or months. People do learn a lot when they first begin living in another culture, but this is only the first step of learning. It usually involves things like learning everyday activities and some basic customs.

To really understand another culture, people have to go beyond the first step. This is a challenge because it is often difficult to know what to learn. Much of what we call"culture" is hard to see.

Culture is like an iceberg. Imagine in your mind a huge iceberg in the ocean. The only part of the iceberg that you see is the top. You don't see the rest of the iceberg because it is hidden from sight in the water. It is easy to forget that it is there. Most of the iceberg is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep in the ocean, just as much of a culture is deep within its people.

When you meet someone from another culture, certain culture differences are obvious: You hear another language or you hear your own language spoken with an accent. You see different foods, clothes and sometimes physical characteristics of people. You watch new customs or habits, such as the use of chopsticks, and, bowing or kissing on both cheeks as a greeting. These differences are interesting and important, but they are usually not too difficult to understand. They can be seen easily and quickly.

The part of culture that is like the underwater part of the iceberg consists of assumptions (設(shè)想)， communication styles, values, and beliefs about what is right and wrong. The hidden part of culture influences much of a person’s way of thinking and communicating. It is the meaning behind his or her verbal and nonverbal language. Learning to communicate well with people from another culture involves understanding the hidden part of culture.

1.To really understand another culture, people should .

A.learn the rules of language B.learn the hidden culture

C.visit some local people D.live with some local people

2.Which of the following does the writer agree?

A.Communication styles can be easily seen and learned

B.Language learning is more important than culture learning

C.Learning about culture is not easy and may take a long time

D.People usually learn a culture after a few weeks or months.

3.The passage is mainly about .

A.learning about culture. B.learning about people

C.the hidden part of the iceberg D.fluency in another language
