3．There is a large percentage of Asian people in the US．They're hard working，respectful but strange sometimes．If you don't understand the culture，you will get some problems with them．Asian people are different from any other cultures if you think you know them，you might want to think again．
How are they different？When it comes to most Asian culture，respect is everything．You can do anything you want but don't disrespect an Asian man．You will get some real consequences afterward and especially if he is your boss．It's something called face saving in the Asian culture．It's ridiculous sometimes but it's their culture．Sometimes their culture can come in between their relationship at work．Asian people might expect a lot of respect from their co-workers when their co-workers just see them as an equal．
Americans are very different from Asian people．If you're Asian，you might want to understand the American culture and even adapt to their culture if you work with them．It will be easier for you since you're in their countries．Imagine an American working in China，expecting Chinese co-workers to get along with him when he criticizes them straight out on every single matter in front of everyone．I think they will take him outside and take care of him．It just doesn't work that way with Asian people．
If you're an American boss giving your Asian employee a review，you will see that they will have a problem with your negative remarks．They will think that you don't like them，disrespectful，and want to get rid of them； when in fact，you're just doing your job．You just encourage them to do their work better．Of course，it's not fair for you as an American boss but just expect that it can be something that is on your Asian employee's mind．

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
