Проверочная контрольная работа за второе полугодие для 10 класса
учебно-методический материал по английскому языку (10 класс) на тему

Второе полугодие ,вариант первый

1. You should choose the topic for the conversation.

2. You should start a conversation with other person.

3. Friendship isn’t strong enough.

4. Different people have different points of view.

5. You should know the culture.

6. It’d be better to know only then to deal with.

A. There are questions from a cross-cultural workshop which helps business people to avoid misunderstanding when they deal with people who come from different cultures. Ideas about polite behavior vary from one culture to another and it’s easy to cause offence or feel offered if you don’t know what other cultures expect.

B. Some societies, such as America and Australia, for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite frequently. As a result they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So, it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as private.

C. At the other extreme are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican businessperson, for example, will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.

D. To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society put it, it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sort a of embarrassing questions that you don’t clearly in the way to answer.

E. Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers but also for the airlines that carry them. All airlines want to provide the best service but ideas about good service vary from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are deal with.

Второе полугодие, второй вариант

1. The theme for research.

2. Having a lot of choice help you.

3. It’s impossible to be satisfied.

4. It’s different now.

5. Too much products’ information.        

6. Great variety of goods.

A. Do you remember the old days? The time buying a pair of jeans or a mobile phone involved choosing between two or three options. Now, pop into a shop on the high street and you’ll find about 50 different style of jeans and literally hundreds of mobile phones. But is it better? We try to answer this question.

B. We’ve never had so much choice. Take supermarkets, for example. A local store could offer you 38 types of milk, 107 varieties of pasta, over 170 types of salad dressing and 154 flavors of jam. The average supermarket offers more than 30000 products with thousands more being added each year. In the words of one shopper, it’s so overwhelming that it just makes you feel awful. If you carefully considered every aspect-ethics, food miles, price, flavor and ingredients-you’d never get to round buying anything ever.

C.  But it isn’t just about food. For every aspect of life there’s an incredible range of products and services on offer-from clothes and gadgets to educational and financial services, not forgetting holidays and entertainment. Access to the Internet has, of course, widened this choice. It does not only offer the products themselves but details reviews of product range with comparisons of style, price and reliability. These are intended t make our lives easier but in reality just lead to information overload.

D. It now seems that all this choice isn’t good for us. Professor Barry Schwartz, a psychologist from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and the author of The Paradox of Choice, says ’There is vastly too much choice in the modern world and we are paying an enormous price for it. It makes us feel helpless, mentally paralysed and profoundly dissatisfied. ‘But shouldn’t we be happy to have all this information and choice? Why is it a problem to have 275 types of breakfast cereal or 10500000 hits to an Internet search for ’holidays in Spain’?

E. The bigger the range of products available, the less satisfied we are with our choice. We imagine that the perfect mobile or jeans must exist in such a big number of products and that we might have chosen the wrong thing. Or that by choosing a particular service or form of entertainment, we might have missed out on something better.
