Passage Three Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troub

Passage Three

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?' Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

41. Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.

A. America is a highly developed country

B. Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

C. the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D. American city people seem to be always in a rush

第5题
South Dakota ranks completely the last in average teacher salary and 42nd in the spending per pupil. But its 1989 American College Test scores are among the highest in the nation.
In knowledge and. skills South Dakota has a normal teacher combination--good, bad and the not very good. Nor does the state place enormous emphasis on academic achievements. Many schools fail to require enough homework and a proposal to require a foreign language for college entrance caused a storm of public anger. But South Dakota’s students have three things going for them: strong families, small schools and old-fashioned values.
South Dakota's marriage and birth rates are among the highest in the nation, and its divorce (离婚) rates are among the lowest. South Dakota's kids are subject to the same troubles that tempt young people elsewhere--drugs, drinking and sex. But because fewer are in pain of emotion from home situations, fewer seek these troublesome escapes.
South Dakota is also fortunate that most of its schools are small. Schools like these are often the focus of community life; there are a lot of school plays, concerts and football games in school. And as much as a fourth of a local newspaper may be school news. It must be difficult for students and teachers not to feel that all eyes are upon them.
And South Dakota enjoy the old values, everyone shares the same pattern of behaviour. A school's authority is seldom weakened by a parent, or vice versa (反之亦然).
Which of the following is mentioned about South Dakota in this passage?
A.A special combination is required by the state in selecting teachers.
B.Forty-two students won an award in a national test in 1989.
C.Teachers are not as well paid as those in other states.
D.Academic achievements are highly regarded by the state and the public.

Morgan Rees has always been a good businessman. He used to own three petrol stations and was busy most of the time. When he was 65, the normal retirement age, he decided that he didn't want to stop, so he carried on working for another two years. Eventually, when he was nearly 68, his wife, Dolly, asked him to retire because she wanted to enjoy their old age together. Reluctantly, he handed over the business to his son.
But he was unhappy. He didn't know what to do with himself. Although he read a lot of books and he went on holiday to interesting places with his wife, he was bored and began to get depressed because he hated being retired.
Then one day he saw an advertisement in the newspaper and, without telling his wife, he bought a small crockery (陶器) factory. The next week he told his family. They were horrified and worried. They thought he was too old at 71 to start work again.
He is now 76 and he has expanded the company considerably. He has increased the number of staff from 6 to 24 and he has found many new customers for the products. He has developed the export market and has improved profits by 200%. He has opened a new design office and employed three young designers.

第10题
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.
(1) “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00 p.m.” Here “attached” means_______.
A.taken B.drawn C.given D.shown
(2) According to this passage, time plays an important role in _____.
A.everyday life B.social life
C.public life D.private life
(3) According to the passage, the author may agree to which of the following statements?
A.It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A.
B.It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.
C.It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.
D.If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.
(4) The best title for this passage is_______.
A.The Voice of Time
B.The Importance of Time
C.The Importance of an Announcement
D.Time and Tide Wait for No Man
(5) What is the purpose of the author to write this passage?
A.To tell us not to call someone very early.
B.To tell us the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.
C.To tell us that we should treat time differently in cross-cultural communication.
D.To teach us how to apology when we are late.

Three Americans Win Nobel Economics Prize
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in economics to three Americans,Eugene Fama,Lars Peter Hansen and Robert Shiller on Oct.14,2013.Eugene Fama and Lars Peter Hansen are both professors at the University of Chicago.Robert Shiller is a professor at Yale University.They will share the prize worth about 1.2 million dollars.
"This year's prize in economic sciences is about predictions." All three of this year's prize winners are mainly known for their research and explanations of pricing forces in financial markets.They have had a big influence on the way people look at and talk about financial markets.
Eugene Fama's research on financial markets in the 1960s led market watchers to change their ideas about investing.His ideas are linked to the theory that markets are efficient,which means market actors taking all available information to create the correct price for things at any given time.This also means that over short periods of time,it is not possible to predict prices.
Robert Shiller found,however,that over long periods,the opposite is true.It is possible to predict the movement of prices and that price changes are linked to human behavior.
The findings of both economists have led to the growth of index funds,investing many different securities as a way to reduce risk.Mr Shiller also helped to create the Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home prices index.That index follows home prices across the United States.
Lars Peter Hansen developed a method for studying historical pricing information.His method supports Mr Shiller's findings and has influenced efforts to predict prices in the financial industry.
The Nobel Prize in economics was not created by Alfred Nobel,but was established in his memory by Sweden's central bank in 1968.
1.The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in electronics to three Americans on Oct.14,2013.
