练习 1
Kimmie Tanaka is from .

True or false? Philip confesses that he doesn't like people from Asia. → .

Choose a suitable title for Kimmie Tanaka's presentation: "".
Kimmie Tanaka is from Japan 1.

True or false? Philip confesses that he doesn't like people from Asia. → False 2.

Choose a suitable title for Kimmie Tanaka's presentation: "Challenging stereotypes at work 3".
1 Japan: This is the correct answer. Kimmie Tanaka says to Philip and Hannah "actually, I'm Japanese" after Philip calls her a "beautiful Chinese woman".
1 China: This is incorrect. Philip calls Kimmie Tanaka a "beautiful Chinese woman", but Kimmie replies that she is "Japanese".
1 Korea: This is incorrect. Philip says that he doesn't discriminate between "Chinese, Japanese, Korean". Kimmie says that she is "Japanese".
1 a galaxy far far away: If only this were true.
2 False: This is a false statement. Philip does not say that he doesn't like people from Asia. Instead, he says to Hannah and Kimmie: "Chinese, Japanese, Korean: you all make delicious food and wear sandals. I don't discriminate". In this context, this means that he is not "biased" or "prejudiced" towards people from these Asian countries. "To discriminate" is to make a clear decision on the basis of class, sex, race, etc. Example: Our old boss used to discriminate against black people, he was a racist.
2 True: This is not a true statement.
3 Challenging stereotypes at work: This is the most suitable choice for a title of Kimmie Tanaka's presentation. Kimmie says that her presentation "is on the dangers of stereotypes in the workplace". The term "workplace" is synonymous with "office": the place where one works. "To challenge (something)" is "to dispute" or "to confront" it.
3 Give a colleague a massage!: This is not a suitable choice of title. Although Philip thinks that Kimmie is here to give him "a special Asian massage", the purpose of Kimmie's visit is not to talk about massages.
3 Working with clients from Asia: This is not a suitable choice of title. Kimmie does not say that she will talk about "working with clients from Asia", her presentation is on the dangers of stereotypes in the office.
3 Better public speaking: This is not a suitable choice of title. Kimmie does not say that she will talk about "public speaking", her presentation is on the dangers of stereotypes in the office.

Fill in the blanks with a term used in Trey's email:
