Passage Three
As they entered the 21 century, people could not help looking back to the past 20 years when they managed to cope with a new threat—the computer. By the year of 1980, computers had become a fact of life. They were, the magazine DISCOVER noted that Cecember, “in cars, offices, schools and homes, toys and watches. In some airplanes, pilots need not handle the controls; they are?flight managers? who watch the computer manage the flight and landing. On the way are voice-driven typewriters, robots that can ?see?, and hand-held computers that can over the contents of the Library of Congress.”
But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes”(电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TV generation even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War Ⅲ to be launched entirely by technical error.”
Some executives especially hated computers, Leo reported. They worried that they would lose status ---and their assistants ---if they were seen at keyboard. Publishers and journalists, he continued, were frightened that the printed word would be eliminated. “True, the newspaper travels well---you can not put a computer under your arm while rushing for a train, ” he wrote, “Not now , but a more advanced and complicated portable version, about the size of a hand—held electronic game , may not be far off.”
Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn?t be found without having their portable computers on their laps. The widespread fear of computers seems a thing of the past---a shift that Leo correctly predicted.”Every one will accept computers , ” he wrote, “because there is no alternative.”

Passage Four
As contrasts go , there are few other pairs of culture as distinct from each other as the Japanese and the Americans. Japan?s many centuries of history and especially its Buddhist heritage (佛教文化) have given the Japanese an attitude of repose (从容) the best course is to let it be : When the time is ripe , things will work out by themselves. America, on the other hand , is just a few centuries old and displays an almost volcanic liveliness and restlessness. For the Japanese , social harmony has a prior claim in every circumstance; for the Americans, harmony is the result of the rational interaction of free and fair-minded people. One does not lightly move from traditions in Japan, many of which are centuries old; in the United States, the habits and attitudes of even one?s parent?s generation are suspect.
Every culture , through its legal and institutional arrangements, mirrors the society?s resolution of some basic human problems. These can provide a useful frame work for the analysis of cultural differences. Organizations also face the same problems and usually take their cue from the prevailing culture in designing solutions to these problems. This suggests that the perspective provided by viewing culture through the framework of this problem will be useful for organizational analysis as well. The following sectiona present a discussion of such a framework in the context of the contrast between Japan and the United Stares.
Before this is presented, however, we must alert the reader that the differences are stated here as being sharper than they may be in reality. On each of the aspects discussed later, there is naturally considerable variation within each culture, because examples demonstrating the cultural reality opposite to the one described in this book can be found easily. Thus, the following discussion should be viewed in the way it is presented,as generalizations and tendencies rather than as absolutes.

32. Those who are likely to doubt their parents? values and ways of doing things are probably ________________.
A. the Japanese B. the Americans C. both the Japanese and the Americans D. neither the Japanese nor the Americans
