Culture refers to the social heritage of a people—the learned
patterns for thinking, feeling and acting that characterize a
population or society, include the expression of these patters in
material things. Culture is compose of nonmaterial culture—
abstract creations like values, beliefs, customs and institutional
arrangements—and material culture—physical object like
cooking pots, computers and bathtubs. In sum, culture reflects
both the ideas we share or everything we make. In ordinary
speech, a person of culture is the individual can speak another
language—the person who is unfamiliar with the arts, music,
literature, philosophy, or history. But to sociologists, to be
human is to be cultured, because of culture is the common world
of experience we share with other members of our group.
Culture is essentially to our humanness. It provides a kind
of map for relating to others. Consider how you feel your way
about social life. How do you know how to act in a classroom,
or a department store, or toward a person who smiles or laugh
at you? Your culture supplies you by broad, standardized,
ready-made answers for dealing with each of these situations.
Therefore, if we know a person’s culture, we can understand
and even predict a good deal of his behavior.

2. 与书店交涉的经过
3. 呼吁服务行业必须提高服务质量
[20分]
解析: June 19, 2004
Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and, appeal to the improvement of the service industry.
This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for a replace. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary.
It goes without saying that today’s face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It’s self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country’s economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement.
