It __us four days to find the place。

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

　　In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a weight problem. To

　　many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to

　　support the idea.

　　Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today,

　　yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used

　　machines much less and didn’t watch television.

　　Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on

　　average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545

　　London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

　　Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research

　　group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

　　The more the men run, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, the greater amount

　　of food they ate. Thus, those who run the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of

　　body fat.

　　11. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ________.

　　A. they are too slim B. they work too hard

　　C. they are too fat D. they lose too much body fat

　　12. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ________ will have a weight

　　problem.

　　A. 30 B. 50 C. 100 D. 150

　　13. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a weight

　　problem？

　　A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

　　B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

　　C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support that.

　　D. We don’t know because the information is not given.

　　14. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s

　　_______.

　　A. ate more food and had more physical activities.

　　B. ate less food but had more activities

　　C. ate less food and had less physical exercise

　　D. had more weight problems

　　15. Modern scientific researchers have reported to us that ________.

　　A. fat people eat less food and are less active

　　B. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more active

　　C. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active

　　D. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake
