He surprised his landlord by telling him that he was leaving because he could not afford to buy any more chocolate. It all began a year ago when Albert returned home one evening and found a large dog in front of his gate. He was very fond of animals and as he happened to have a small piece of chocolate in his pocket, he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was there again. It held up its paws and received another piece of chocolate as a reward. Albert called his new friend Bingo. He never found out the dogs real name, nor who his owner was. However, Bingo appeared regularly every afternoon and it was quite clear that he preferred chocolate to bones. He soon grew dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate and demanded a large bar a day. If at any time Albert neglected his duty, Bingo got very angry and refused to let him open the gate. Albert was now at Bingos mercy and had to bribe him to get into his own house!

City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务 ). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country. Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you dont, waiters will hurry you. You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Dont take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else wastingit beyond a certain courtesy point. The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called a short fuse. We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life. Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a caf or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, w e start talking business very quickly. (1)、 Which of the following statements is wrong? _ A： Americans seem to be always under pressure. B： Americans attach less importance to patience. C： Americans dont care much about ritual socializing. D： Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 答案 ： D (2)、 In the fourth paragraph, a high prioritymeans _. A： a less important thing B： a first concern C： a good business D： an attractive gift 答案 ： B (3)、 Americans evaluate a business colleague _. A： through social courtesy B： through prolonged business talks C： by establishing business relations D： by learning about their past performance 答案 ： D (4)、 This passage mainly talks about _. A： how Americans treasure their time B： how busy Americans are every day C： how Americans do business with foreigners D： what American way of life is like 答案 ： A (5)、 We can infer from the passage that the authors tone in writing is _. A： critical B： ironical C： praiseful D： objective 答案： C 三、词汇与语法 1、 He couldnt buy the dictionary because he had _money with him.
