Once, at the height of the Korean War, I found myself unavoidably eavesdropping on an encounter in a Tokyo commuter train between a Japanese girl who erroneously assumed that she knew how to speak English and a young American lieutenant whose Japanese consisted of half a dozen mispronounced phrases that had made their way into G.I. slang. Because the girl had initiated the conversation, the American had jumped to the conclusion that she was sexually available and was politely but insistently trying to convey his readiness to strike a bargain. Meantime, the girl, who was actually a touchingly naive coed from a local university, was eagerly seeking to explain how much she and some of her fellow political science majors would welcome a chance to engage the lieutenant in a discussion of the foreign policies of the Truman administration. As it happened, I was obliged to get off the train before this dialogue reached what must have been a mutually frustrating denouement. But it has stuck in my mind ever since as a microcosmic example of a problem which in its ultimate implications is neither funny nor trivial. Complex as the social interaction is between Japanese themselves, the interaction between Japanese and foreigners is trickier still. And not infrequently the consequences of such encounters are both unexpected and disappointing— chiefly because Japanese and non-Japanese so often approach each other with radically different assumptions and some serious mutual misperceptions. _1. The man got off the train before the Japanese girl. _2. Truman was president of the U.S. during World War II. _3. The young girl wanted to meet with the G.I. again to discuss foreign policy. _4. The conversation between the American G.I. and the Japanese girl made an impression on the eavesdropper. 5. According to the narrator, social interaction between Japanese is difficult.

En España hay una variedad de estilos de viviendas y otros edificios. Uno de los más reconocidos y representativos de la arquitectura española es el parador. El parador no es una casa, sino un hotel dentro de un antiguo palacio, castillo, monasterio u otro edificio histórico. Los paradores pueden originar de diferentes épocas de la historia, y esto se refleja en la arquitectura. Pueden tener influencia barroca, gótica, o renacentista, dependiendo de la edad del edificio. Los paradores son restaurados, pero mantienen la estructura original del edificio. Pueden tener piscinas, saunas, aire acondicionado y otras renovaciones modernas. Otro tipo de edificio menos elegante es una vivienda tradicional madrileña que se llama una corrala. Datan del siglo XVI cuando necesitaban acomodar a muchos inmigrantes a la capital. Las corralas típicamente tienen cuatro plantas y los apartamentos en cada planta abren a un patio central o corredor. Estas viviendas tienen dos dormitorios, una cocina y un comedor. La mayoría de las corralas no tiene baño en el piso. Los residentes comparten un baño comunitario. Como no hay ventanas al exterior, el patio es el centro de la vida social de la comunidad. Los paradores son… a. apartamentos grandes. b. hoteles en edificios antiguos. c. casas restauradas. d. viviendas tradicionales madrileñas
