People are living at a breakneck speed. Fast-food restaurants, one minute bedtime stories, microwave ovens, quick freezers, instant noodles（面条）, automatic dial buttons on the telephone, the remote control of a television, emails, the Internet, all these have caused a speed-up in the pace of peoples life. These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once, if you dare. Not long ago, for most people, listening to the radio was a single-task activity. Now it is rare for a person to listen to the radio and do nothing else. Even television has lost its command of our attention. In so many houses the TV just stays on, like a noisy light, while the life of the busy family passes back and forth in front of it.In the technology-driven Western world, the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension about time. People believe that they have little time. They wish they had 48 hours a day. American culture views time as a thing to be kept and saved. Timesaving is a subject often talked about and discussed. Books with such titles as Streamlining Your Life; Take Your Time; More Hours in My Day are always bestsellers. People have talked and wanted many ways to “save time”. But what does this concept mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done? If so, does talking on a mobile phone at the beach save time or waste it? If you can choose between a 30-minute train ride, during which you can read and a 20-minute drive, during which you cannot read, does this drive save ten minutes? Does it make sense to say driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removing ten minutes from your reading budget?These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill-formed: the very idea of timesaving. Some of us say we want to save time when really we just want to do more and faster. It might be simplest to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it, how to spare it, how to use it and how to fill it.Time is not a thing we have lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in.11According to the passage, what characterizes life today is that we_.Aare all in a rushBlive at a breakneck speedCsave a lot of timeDfeel time is pressing12In the sentence “These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once” ，the phrase “all at once” means all_.AimmediatelyBat the same timeCquicklyDinstantly13The author believes that the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension_.Aabout timeBamong peopleCwith more things to doDboth A and B14The author_ the American idea that time is a thing that can be kept and saved.Abelieves inBdoes not believeCis doubtful aboutDis certain about15The best title for this passage is_.ACan We Save TimeBWhat Is Time?CThe Idea of TimesavingDThe Importance of TimesavingPassage 2Telecommuting(远程办公)Its 8.30, time for John to start work.
