    Scientists have tried to discover what personality characteristics go along with success in intercultural (跨文化) experiences. Their findings have often been unclear or incomplete. But three characteristics stand out in their reports: patience, a sense of humor, and the awareness of being unclear.

    Patience, of course, is the ability to keep calm even when things do not go as one wants them to, or hopes they will, or has even been sure they will. Impatience sometimes brings improvements in relations with other people, but usually it does not.
    A person with a sense of humor is less likely to take things too seriously and more ready to see the humor in his own reactions than a humorless person. The value of a sense of humor really needs to be paid more attention to.
    The awareness (意识) of being unclear is a more difficult concept (观念) than patience or a sense ofhumor. Foreigners often find themselves in situations that are unclear to the newcomers. That is, they do not know what is happening in the situation. Perhaps they do not understand the local language well enough, or they do not know how some system or organization works, or they can't be sure of different people's roles in what is going on. "It's like I just got here from the moon," a Chinese graduate student who newly arrived in the United States said, "things are just so different here."

A、is optimistic about things B、is an impatient one C、likes making fun of others D、tends (倾向) to treat everything carelessly
(4)、What can we know from the passage?
A、It is necessary to learn a language before you go abroad. B、Americans are used to the culture of other countries. C、Patience usually improves the relationship with others. D、To live in a foreign land, one should get fully prepared.
