根据以下材料，回答题Passage One
Now the whole world is like a village. With the advancement of hi-tech, modern transportation and communication reduce the time and distance that once kept the peoples of the world apart. In the metaphor of the global village, nations are like families and continents are like neighborhoods. People go out of the house regularly to do business and to buy what they need in the market. Now markets and businesses are global.
People feel most at home in their own families, but they also want to stay on good terms with their neigh-bors. As the world is becoming more like a village, the families of the world are dependent on one another.Time and space no longer isolate or protect nations and groups from each other. With the economic and trade globalization, contact among the peoples of the world is increasing. Since the world is becoming more like a village,everyone wants it to be a place they feel comfortable living in. People want to benefit from global trade and advanced technology, and they want to live among peoples who respect and appreciate one another.
However, religious, economic, and political differences continue to divide people. To meet these chal-lenges, people everywhere need to learn about other cultures. They need to know their neighbors. They need to know how to get along with them and how to solve problems arisen from misunderstanding. To do this, it is
necessary to learn how to communicate across cultures. The reality of the global village challenges all its resi-dents to develop a broader world view and the cultural skills necessary for building relationships and solving problems across cultures.
