问题     As we all know, different countries have different cultures. "Culture is the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members of one category of people from another."
    It is inevitable that the cultural difference has impact on business. For example, when a company having a meeting, the word "table" in American English means to put something on the agenda. But in British English it means to put something off the agenda. This example indicates how the culture affects the business.
    There are four cultural dimensions (方面) that were defined in Hofstede’s research: power distance, uncertainty avoidance, individualism, masculinity (男子气概). And recently Hofstede added one more: long-term and short-term orientation.
    Recently, Hofsteda said in a speech: "What I think the most significant influence in cultural difference is the power distance. I considered it as how much subordinates can consent or dissent with bosses or managers. It is the distance between a manager and subordinate. Among most oriental corporate cultures, there is hierarchism (等级制度), greater centralization."
Hofstede thinks the most important cultural dimension to influence cultural difference is______.
选项 A、power distance
B、uncertainty avoidance
C、individualism
D、long-term and short-term orientation
答案A
解析 细节辨认题。由线索词Hofstede，most important和cultural difference定位到第三段首句和第四段首句。第三段先说明了Hofstede在研究中提出的文化的四个方面，然后第四段表明自己认为影响文化差异的最重要的原因是power distance，由此可知答案。
