27、 L schedules M. calls for N. trail O. punctuality Americans believe time is a limited resource; they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often 1 seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to 2their time better. Professionals carry around pocket plannerssome in el
28、ectronic formto keep 3of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more life out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of. To Americans, 4is a way of showing
29、respect for other peoples time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually 5an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less 6the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At inform
30、al get-togethers, for example, people often arrive 730 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually dont try that at work. To outsiders, Americans seem tied to the clock. People in other cultures value relationships more than 8. In these societies, people dont try to control time, but to experi
31、ence it. Many Eastern cultures, for example, view time as a cycle. The rhythm of naturefrom the passing of the seasons to the monthly cycle of the moonshapes their view of events. People learn to respond to their environment. As a result, they find it easier to go with the flow than Americans, who l

Nevertheless, time is one of lifes most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.（分数：20.00）填空项1:_

34、ose the one that you think is the best answer._(l)Hippies were members of a youth movement of the 1960s and 1970s that started in the United States and spread to Canada, Great Britain, and many other countries. The hippies rejected the customs, traditions, and life styles of society and tried to dev
35、elop those of their own. Most hippies came from white middle-class families and ranged in age from 15 to 25 years old. They thought too many adults cared about making money and little else. The term hippie may come from the word hip, which means turned-in or aware. (2)Hippies wanted a world based on
36、 love of humanity and peace. Many believed that wonderful, magical changes were about to take place. They thought these changes would happen as soon as people learned to express their feelings honestly and to behave naturally at all times. Hippies strongly opposed U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War
37、. (3)Many hippies lived together in small groups, working with one another and sharing possessions. Others refused to be tied down to a fixed job or home. They wandered from place to place seeking part-time work and temporary shelter. Some begged for spare change and lived in the streets or camped i
38、n parks or other public lands. (4)Hippies were sometimes called flower children because they gave people flowers to communicate gentleness and love. They let their hair grow long and walked barefoot or in sandals. Hippies attracted public attention by wearing clothing that featured unusual combinati
39、ons of colors and textures. A large number of hippies used marijuana, LSD, and other drugs. Drug experiences shaped many of their symbols and ideas. (5)The Beatles, a popular English rock group, helped spread the hippie movement with their song. Hippie favorites included such other rock groups as th
40、e Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, singers Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, poet Allen Ginsberg, and novelist Ken Kesey. Many hippies admired Timothy Leary, a psychologist who preached salvation through the use of drugs. (6)In time, most hippies realized it was not easy to reform society by droppin
41、g out of it. Some joined more organized political movements to work for specific social causes. Others turned to spirituality or religion. The majority simply left the hippie stage of their lives behind while trying to hold on to at least a few of the ideals that once inspired them.（分数：6.00）(1).It c
