The discovery that language can be a barrier to communication is quickly made by all who travel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government, policing, business, or data dissemination, the lack of a common language can severely impede progress or can halt it altogether. 'Common language' here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single language. 'They don't talk the same language' has a major metaphorical meaning alongside its literal one.

Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major consequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems, or fatal accidents — even, at times, war. One reported instance of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably, because the report of the treatment had been published only in journals written in European languages other than English.

Several comparable cases have been reported. But isolated examples do not give an impression of the size of the problem — something that can come only from studies of the use or avoidance of foreign-language materials and contacts in different communicative situations. In the English-speaking scientific world, for example, surveys of books and documents consulted in libraries and other information agencies have shown that very little foreign-language material is ever consulted. Library requests in the field of science and technology showed that only 13 per cent were for foreign language periodicals. Studies of the sources cited in publications lead to a similar conclusion: the use of foreign-language sources is often found to be as low as 10 per cent.

The language barrier presents itself in stark form to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, has in recent decades often been criticised for its linguistic insularity - for its assumption that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other languages is not therefore a priority. In the 1960s, over two-thirds of British firms dealing with non-English-speaking customers were using English for outgoing correspondence; many had their sales literature only in English; and as many as 40 per cent employed no-one able to communicate in the customers' languages. A similar problem was identified in other English-speaking countries, notably the USA, Australia and New Zealand. And non-English-speaking countries were by no means exempt - although the widespread use of English as an alternative language made them less open to the charge of insularity.

The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seems to have greatly improved the situation. Industrial training schemes have promoted an increase in linguistic and cultural awareness. Many firms now have their own translation services; to take just one example in Britain, Rowntree Mackintosh now publish their documents in six languages (English, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Xhosa). Some firms run part-time language courses in the languages of the countries with which they are most involved; some produce their own technical glossaries, to ensure consistency when material is being translated. It is now much more readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged, or disrupted by a failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer.

The changes in awareness have been most marked in English-speaking countries, where the realisation has gradually dawned that by no means everyone in the world knows English well enough to negotiate in it. This is especially a problem when English is not an official language of public administration, as in most parts of the Far East, Russia, Eastern Europe, the Arab world, Latin America and French-speaking Africa. Even in cases where foreign customers can speak English quite well, it is often forgotten that they may not be able to understand it to the required level - bearing in mind the regional and social variation which permeates speech and which can cause major problems of listening comprehension. In securing understanding, how 'we' speak to 'them' is just as important, it appears, as how 'they' speak to 'us'.

Mối quan hệ mạnh mẽ Sức khoẻ bình đẳng, Hạnh phúc
Điều gì sẽ giúp bạn sống lâu và hạnh phúc? Có phải là kiếm được nhiều tiền không? Có phải là một công việc tuyệt vời mà bạn thích không? Có lẽ đó là sự nổi tiếng. Nếu bạn hỏi một người trẻ, nhiều người có thể cung cấp cho bạn một trong những câu trả lời. Hoặc có thể cả ba.

Một số nền văn hóa coi trọng công việc và tiền bạc hơn những nền văn hoá khác. Người Mỹ có thể bị ám ảnh bởi công việc và kiếm tiền. Họ có thể cảm thấy cần phải kiếm được nhiều tiền cho giáo dục, chăm sóc y tế, nhà cửa và ô tô. Nhưng nó không chỉ là về tiền. Đối với nhiều người Mỹ, giá trị bản thân liên quan đến thành công hoặc thất bại của chúng tôi. Nhiều người trong chúng ta dành phần lớn cuộc sống của chúng tôi làm việc - hy sinh các hoạt động khác.

Hãy tưởng tượng nếu chúng ta có thể thăm bản thân của chúng ta và hỏi: "Bạn đã làm gì khác để thực sự hạnh phúc?" Nhưng chúng ta không thể làm điều đó. Chúng ta có thể tìm hiểu về những gì làm cho con người hạnh phúc, và những gì không, bằng cách nghiên cứu con người trong quá trình sống của họ.

1. Read the passage then choose the best answers

Money is something we all take for granted in our lives. Some of us may wish we had more of it but we all recognize it when we see it, whether in the form of coins, notes or cheques. It is difficult to imagine how people managed without money. In the earliest periods of human history, people used to exchange goods directly. They would exchange things they had plenty of for things that they were in need of. For example, they might offer food for tools. This method of exchange, which is known as “barter”, has many disadvantages. Certain goods may be difficult to carry, they may not last long, or may be impossible to divide into smaller units. It can also be difficult to know the worth of something compared with other goods.

According to historians, the first money, in the sense we understand it today, consisted of gold coins produced about 2,500 years ago. Gold, being a very precious metal, was a suitable material. The introduction of gold coins was acceptable to everyone and they were still being used at the beginning of this century, although they have now been replaced by paper money and coins made of ordinary metals.

1. In the old days, people exchanged………..

A. what they needed for what they had B. food for tools

C. what they had for what they needed D. goods for money

2. “barter” is a system of exchange in which ………

A. food is exchanged for tools B. no money is used

C. money is used to buy things D. goods are difficult to carry

3. Direct exchange of goods is ……. because some gods may be too big to carry.

A. advantageous B. precious C. impossible D. disadvantages

4. According to historians, the first money was ………

A. made of paper B. made of gold C. made of coins D. made of 2000 years ago

5. Modern money is made of ……….

A. gold B. paper or gold

C. ordinary metals D. paper or ordinary metals

2. Read the passage and fill one suitable word in each blank.

Everyone is becoming aware that the environment is a (0) .... serious.... issue. However, we have not done (1) .......... to deal with this problem because we seem to wait for governments to (2) ........... actions.
