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 its a matter of life or 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 invitation 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 between people from different 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, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.31. What is the main idea of this passage? _B_a. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.b. The role of time in social life over the world.c.

Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad to all living things in the world, but it is not only on kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us become angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop the people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air.The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means we must keep the land, water and air clean. And we must keep careful of the rise in population at the same time.36.

Passage ThreePromptness is important in American business, academic, and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children I school. Tardy (迟缓的) slips and the use of bells signal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected.People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late for job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, “time is money” and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business etiquette (礼节) also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date of a friend waiting beyond ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, arriving thirty minutes late to some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Students who hand in assignments late may be surprised to find that the professor will lower their grades or even refuse to grade their work. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.41. The best title for the passage is _A_. a. Promptnessb. Time c.

Which of the following statements is NOT true? Aa. To be a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is not considered rude.b. It is not easy to be punctual all the time.c. In different situations, people have different expectations for punctuality.d. People in the United States value time very much.Part IV Cloze (1 point, 10%)If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The 46 to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a 47 , unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are 48 of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of 49 to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious 50 in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and 51 luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with mo
