Readt he following passage and answer questions.
You are poised at a crucial juncture of your life. when many paths are open to you. You are like a princess who has but to command and your desires are fulfilled. Still it would be prudent to remember that the saying “All that glitters is not gold”, was never truer than it is today. In this age of virtual reality all that your senses perceive will more often than not be anillusion. There are many rainbows that the world will display to entice you: make sure that what you chase will bear closer scrutiny: remember also that you win some and lose some. and above all never forget that hard work will always pay you in the long run-even if Lady Luck does not smile at you at first.
The glamour displayed in the media coupled with the success of some of your friends and acquaintances in beauty contests, modeling, acting and so on must be awfully tempting to emulate.

Behaviors which Americans consider trustworthy are often precisely that which Japanese associate with shifty character and vice versa.
To Americans, people who pause before replying to a question are probably dissembling. They expect a trustworthy person to respond directly. The Japanese distrust such fluency. They are impressed by somebody who gives careful thought to a question before making a reply. Most Japanese are comfortable with periods of silence. Americans find silence awkward and like to plug only conversational gaps.

The cherished American characteristics of frankness and openness are also misunderstood. The Japanese think it is sensible as well as polite for a person to be discreet until he is sure that a business acquamtance will keep sensitive information confidential. An American who boasts, “I am my own man” can expect to find his Japanese’s hosts anxiously counting chopsticks after business lunch. As the Japanese see it. individuals are anti-social.
