Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you wha

Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses in this case our eyes tell us.

第3题

Schools in the U.S. generally do not have a specific teaching plan for teachers to fo

llow, and they certainly don’t have a set of textbooks that are taught by all school districts throughout the country. That’s why textbooks vary greatly from school to school, and from teacher to teacher even though they are all teaching the same subject in the same grade. Some schools provide books to use, but teachers do not strictly follow them. They only use them as a reference, and enjoy pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books. They often share their own points of view with their students. Teaching like this has many advantages. Teachers can bring out their expertise, fully elaborating their most familiar areas. Students are more interested in what they are studying. Also this flexible teaching style. benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to apply them. On the other hand teaching like this also has many drawbacks. It causes uneven study levels. It is even more so among different schools and districts. Students in the same grade do not usually have a thorough understanding of a subject taught in the same school year. The teacher for the following year would have to spend a lot of time finding out what the students already know or do not know in the subject before starting his/her own teaching plan. Some parts may be repeated, resulting in waste of time; and other parts may not be covered at all.

Exams in American schools are much less rigid than those in China. Teaching is flexible, so are exams. Even if you memorized the whole textbook, it might not be of much help in the exams. My Chinese friend envied me for nothaving to worry about the competition for attending the best schools by takingendless exams.

(1) What are advantages of the flexible teaching style?

A、It benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills.

D、may save teachers’time

(3) The word drawbacks (paragraph 2) means______.

A、mistakes

B、difficulties

C、disadvantages

D、troubles

A、have to follow a specific teaching plan.

B、dislike pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books.

Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fableabout the tur

tle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, I think I can, I think I can. Atlast, the train was over the top of the hill. I thought I could, I thought I could, chugged the happy little train. Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of ―The Good Samaritan from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road.

The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding,

Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.

Great moral stories can build character. The success of The Book of Virtues in 1993 shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. Moral values are invaluable.

(3)What’s the author's purpose of telling the story of Florida's hurricane?

A、To show how people help each other in America.

B、To show how Floridians suffered from the hurricane seriously.

C、To give an example of compassion.

D、To show water is in great need for Floridians hit by hurricane.

(4)According to the passage, which of the follo wing is TRUE?

A、Florida helped the Midwest because the Midwest helped it before.

B、Compassion could hardly be a positive cycle.

C、Florida was grateful to what Iowa had done.

How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort

to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.

Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.

There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an―all nighter which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.

Myth 2: American students party all night and day.

While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior. and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.

Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.

Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.

Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.

Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crimerates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.

Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.

第6题

In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million golfers.

These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles. Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America's most popular sports.

Many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. The average American motorcyclist is between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five. He owns his own house, and has a wife, more than one child, and at least one car. He is a responsible citizen.

Cycle Magazine, a monthly publication with almost 280,000 readers, claims that about fifty-five per cent of American motorcyclists are businessmen, with three per cent in the professions and nine per cent in government service. Such information is offered by motorcyclists in the hope of improving the general public's impression of their sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcycles are ridden by wild, irresponsible, lawless young man.

There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes.

Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud, crushed insects, and bird droppings. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars.

Probably the machine itself also produces anger and fear. Motorcycles are noisy, though some big trucks are even noisier. But trucks are big and carry heavy loads; they are accepted because they perform. a needed service, making America move. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure. That is what is commonly thought.

Of course the danger of motorcycling also helps account for many people'slow opinion of the sport. Its defenders, however, claim that careful cyclists arein less danger than is commonly believed.

As motorcycling becomes more common in years to come, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as respectable as tennis or golf.

第7题

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need f

or executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts.

Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.

In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash.

In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderst anding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.

Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.

(1) What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment?

A、The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation.

B、The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication.

C、The man who is wealthy and impersonal.

D、The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

(2) According to the passage, international business negotiation involves.

A、short-term goals

B、long-term benefits

C、information and cash

D、persuasion and compromise

(3) In the foreign negotiators’eyes their American counterparts are.

A、impersonal suppliers of information and cash

B、skillful in negotiation

C、good at establishing relationship between negotiators

D、indirect and impatient

(4) Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A、Foreign negotiators are willing to invest time in relationship between negotiators.

B、American negotiator's directness and impatience cause cross-cultural misunderstanding.

C、Americans has played a more effective role in international business negotiations.

D、Foreign negotiators think that American can afford to pay the price without bargaining
