At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and peoples lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the n
7、ational parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14,1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has
8、been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792 to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie also had her head cut off.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he i
13、s 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 cho
14、sen 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
15、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 cult
16、ures 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
17、 is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)16. 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
18、world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.17.

19、 death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.18.

22、s no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he neednt make some explanation16-20 BBBDB Passage 3A foreigners first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush-often under pressure. City people appear always to
23、 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
24、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 dont, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations,
25、 and small courtesies with strangers. Dont 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
26、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 returnbe 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
27、 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 m
28、ay miss leisurely business chats in a caf 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
29、and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)21. Which of the following statements is wrong? _D_A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans dont care much about ritual socializing.D. A
