【正确答案】 Modern means of transportation, telecommunication and mass media have shortened the geographical distance of the world. The international community appears to be no more than a global village, in which people of different nations engage themselves in cultural exchange, while seeking common development in harmonious and respectful relationship. I think different cultures should learn from each other' s strengths to offset their own weaknesses. However, we also have to understand that cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one' s own culture to a foreign one, but a process of enriching each other' s national cultures. Of course, the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures, and make contributions to the development of human civilization.
