You can have days with more or fewer than 24 hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Dateline. By agreement(一致)， this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line you change your calendar(日历) one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow.27.

They have never given the matter any thought. Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans. It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions actions which might otherwise appear “strange,” “confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigners own society and its values. The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet. 31. Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system? A.Yes, because this is something an American lives by. B.Yes, because values are something always in their mind.C. No, because no one cares about his/her value system. D.No, because he/she has never really thought about it.32. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to _. A.invite foreigners to visit America B.help international visitors understand Americans C.describe the confusing actions of most Americans D.look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors 48. Visitors sometimes fine Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because _. A.Americans are hard to understand B.Americans have values which are entirely different from their ownC.they view Americans according to the values in their own society D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them 33. How can you understand a surprising behavior or statement of an American when you visit the United States? A.By comparing it with the values of yourself and your country. B.By expressing one or more of the values in this booklet. C.By linking it to the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of the Americans. D.By looking at the particular group of people who behave or speak that way. -C-My cousin, John, is a university student. Last year he went to Italy and stayed there for two months.

We have become great friends.” “But youre not a teacher,” I said. “I told Luigi I couldnt teach,” John explained. “But he insisted on having conversation lessons. He wanted to practice his English. He has a lot of American customers, so it is important for him to speak English. I spent three hours a day talking to him.

For example, American professors do not dress up and they generally call their students by their first names. Students can speak out in class, without raising their hands. Students can drink coffee, tea, juice, or soft drink during class. Foreign students can usually get used to these differences easily. However, tow examples of American informality are very difficult for some to understand. First, American students call their teachers by their first names. Instead of calling a teacher Mr. Smith or Professor Johnson, they call them Tom or Barbara. In some countries, students are not allowed to do that. Second, American students sometimes criticize(批评) the ideas of their teacher. They might also give their teachers suggestions about changing something in the class. In many countries, students cannot openly criticize their teachers or classes. Thus, some foreign students feel shocked, embarrassed and uncomfortable in American classrooms. They have two choices. One, they can imitate(模仿) the behavior of the American students. But this will make them feel uncomfortable and disrespectful. Two, they can continue to follow their own customs. But in this case, the American teachers and students might think that the foreign students are too formal or too quiet. What is the solution to this problem? This is no easy answer. However, time will help to solve the problem, because foreign students will become used to the new behavior.38. What is Professor Edward A. Johnson usually called by his student? A.Professor Johnson. B.Mr. Johnson. C.Edward.D.Professor Edward.39. What would American students do in the class? A.Laughing at their teachers. B.Openly criticizing their teachers. C.Doing what they want to do.D.Listening to every word their teachers say. 40. How would a foreign student feel if he tries to imitate the behavior of the American students? A.Disrespectful. B.Easy. C.Polite.D.Angry. 41. If a foreign student continues to follow his own customs, the American teachers and students might think that _. A.he is too proud B.he does not want to communicate C.he is too formal or too quietD.he is embarrassed42. How can this problem be solved according to the passage?
