The meaning of silence is different among different cultures.

Many people in some Asian cultures think silence is a basic part of communication. When a traditional Chinese or Thai is speaking and suddenly stops, he probably wants the listener to consider what he has said before he continues. Many people may think silence is a sign of respect (尊重), especially to an elder or a person with power.

Western cultures may use silence in other ways. In America, if you keep silent in a conversation, the speaker may think you’re impolite or not listening to them carefully. Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show they agree with the discussion of the topic. However, Mexicans may keep silent when instructions（指示，命令） are given by a person with a lot of power, even though they don’t agree with the instructions.

In our daily life, if we know the exact meaning of one’s silence, it’s quite helpful, too. A man was ill in hospital. One morning, when the nurse said “Hello!” to him, he said “Hello!” back. “How are you feeling now?” the nurse continued. But the man lay in bed and looked at the nurse, saying nothing. “Not well, right? Then I will check it for you, OK? ” the patient was still silent. Then the nurse passed him a cup of warm water. He drank it quickly. After that, the nurse checked up his health. “Mr. Smith, your blood pressure is a little high. But don’t worry, you’ll soon be well again after taking some medicine.” The man smiled and said, “You’re the best nurse I’ve ever met.” You see, this is how silence works.

1.Is the meaning of silence the same among different cultures?

_______________________________________________________________________

2.When a traditional Thai is speaking and suddenly stops, what does he probably mean ?

_________________________________________________________________

3.In America, what may the speaker think if you keep silent in a conversation?

_______________________________________________________________________

4.If your parents give you instructions you don’t like, will you keep silent? Why or why not?

_______________________________________________________________________
