If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediat

31、e 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 it is 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 United S

32、tates, 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 this 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 pl

33、ans, which are made for a date more than a week away, tend to be forgotten. The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are no

34、t 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. When equals meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes

35、late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. To Americans, forty minutes of waiting is the beginning of the “insult period“ . No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hours wait. Yet in some other coun

36、tries, a forty minutes waiting period was not unusual. Instead of being the very end of the allowable waiting scale, it was just the beginning. Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future an

37、d not the future of the South Asian, which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time: “Time is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. You, the viewer, are walking through the museum in the dark, holding a light to each scene as you pass it. God is in charge of the

38、museum, and only He knows all that is it. One lifetime represents one room“ Since time has different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.（分数：5.00）(1).In terms of promptness American_. A. wait

39、 longer than in other countries B. apologize for being late for 40 minutes C. are more polite than people in other countries D. give an explanation for being a little bit late（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).For South Asians, time_.

41、en send it_. A. 3 or 4 days in advance B. about a week in advance C. 1 day in advance D. at least 10 days in advance（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).This passage mainly concerns_. A. time and manners B. promptness C. cultural differences between the East and West D. rules of time（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.Rubbish dumps t

42、hroughout the industrial world are nearly full, heralding a crisis for city authorities as they look at alternative ways of dealing with the global garbage crisis.That problem is peculiar to fast-moving, wealthy societies, which increasingly demand more packaged goods. In New York State alone, resid

43、ents have doubled their demand for packaged goods in the past thirty years. And the situation is not expected to ease, not least because of social trends. As more women transfer their production and management skills to commercial enterprises, demand for convenience products in the home continues to

44、 grow, says a report published by the Washington-based World watch Institute.The only solution for a nation which now spends more on wrapping food than it pays farmers to produce it, is recycling on a grand scale for commercial as well as conservation reasons.The Institute wants multi-layered dustbi

45、ns to be distributed to households, and people to be obliged to separate their waste into four categories: organic, glass and metals; paper; plastics and miscellaneous. It also believes it can only be a matter of time before such bins have to be made compulsory.Cynthia Pollock, the author of the rep

46、ort, entitled “Mining Urban Wastes: The Potential for Recycling“, points out that “consumers and policy makers are just beginning to realize that there is not real away for throwaway“.Pollock believes that recycling is the only alternative. “Although household wastes are usually thrown out with little regard for their remaining value, a list of the worlds discards would reveal a wealth of materials.“ And it is not just food; “Simply recovering the print run of the Sunday edition of the New York Times would leave 75,000 trees standing and reduce the energy used per ton of paper by up to th
