A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. 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 don’t, 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. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else“wasting”it 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 they may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café 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, we start talking business very quickly.

1. The statement that Americans are impolite to their business colleagues is wrong.

A: T B: F

2. In the fourth paragraph, ,a high priority? means ,a first concern?

A: T B: F

3. Americans evaluate a business colleague by establishing business relations.

A: T B: F

4. This passage mainly talks about how Americans do business with foreigners.

A: T B: F

5. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is praisful.

A: T B: F

Patience is a quality of heart that can be greatly enhanced with deliberate practice.
An effective way that I have found to deepen my own patience is to create actual practice periods periods of time that I set up in my mind to practice the art of patience. Life itself becomes a classroom, and the curriculum is patience. You can start with as little as five minutes and build up your capacity for patience, over time. Start by saying to yourself, Okay, for the next five minutes I won’t allow myself to be bothered by anything. I'll be patient. What you’ll discover is truly amazing. Your intention to be patient, especially if you know it's only for a short while, immediately strengthens your capacity for patience. Patience is one of those special qualities where success feeds on itself.

Once you reach little milestones five minutes of successful patience you’ll begin to see that you do, indeed, have the capacity to be patient, even for longer periods of time. Over time, you may even become a patient person.

Being patient will help you to keep your perspective. You’ll see even a difficult situation, say your present challenge, isn't life or death but simply a minor obstacle that must be dealt with. Without patience, the same scenario can become a major emergency complete with yelling, frustration, hurt feelings, and high blood pressure. It's really not worth all that. Whether you’re needing to deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation if you don’t want to sweathe small stuff, improving your patience level isa great way to start.

(1)The best title for this selection is ________.

A、The Art of Patience

B、Patience and Perspective

C、Become More Patient

D、The Effective Ways to Patience

(2)Which of the following is not TRUE?

A、Creating actual practice periods is the only effective way to deepen patience.

B、Our intention may strengthen our capacity for patience.

C、Success feeds on patience.

D、We can deepen our patience by practice.

(3)According to the passage, if we want to be patient, ________.

A、we should have 5-minute practice everyday

B、we should reach little milestones—five minutes of successful patience first

C、we could create actual practice periods and practice

D、We should be perspective

(4)With patience, ________.

A、we will see a difficult situation as death

B、we will see a difficulty situation as a minor obstacle

C、we can deal with children, your boss, or a difficult person or situation easily

D、we would never be hurt

In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrat
ors as the Vrain School District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. "We're worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don't want to lose them because of this," one parent said, "If we can help ease their financial burden, we will."

Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有偿付能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it's impossible for them to solve this problem.

The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month. "It's extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman.

Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $ 9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll(工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.

District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts in its 38 schools.

At Coffman's request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district's finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $ 212 million bond issue for schools.

In Frederick, students' parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.

Some $ 36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district's $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.

"We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected."

At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum(论坛). "Rumors about what's happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead."

What has happened to the Vrain School District?

A.A huge financial problem has arisen.

B.Many schools there are mismanaged.

C.Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.

D.Many administrative personnel have been laid off.

The relationship between formal education and e(‘onol11lc growth in poor countri

The relationship between formal education and e(‘onol11lc growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike.Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the

conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it. because new educational systems there an putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.

Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak.The U·S.workforce was.and poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was. And remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda, Nissan. and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their

Japanese counterparts-a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.

What is the real relationship between education and economic. development&39;? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don&39;t force it. After all, that&39;s how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000),ears ago, they didn&39;t have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other thing.

As education improved, humanity&39;s productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probably a necessary, but not a sufficient, condition for the complex political systems required by advanced economic performance.Thus poor countries might not be able to escape their poverty traps without political changes that may be possible only with broader formal education. A lack of formal education, however, doesn&39;t constrain the ability of the developing world&39;s workforce to substantially improve productivity for the forested future. On the contrary, constraints on improving productivity explain why education isn&39;t developing more quickly there than it is.

A major difference between the Japanese and U.S workforces is that__.

A.the Japanese workforce is better disciplined

B.the Japanese workforce is more productive

C.the U.S workforce has a better education

D.the U.S workforce is more organized
