　　Ben

　　When I left school five years ago, I said to myself, “that's that! No more learning for me. Now I can enjoy myself in the evening.” But about a year ago the boss said, “We're going to get a computer in the near future.” What does he mean? I simply don't know. Anyway, I decided to go to evening classes. I'm quite an expert on computers now and, you know, I actually enjoy studying.

　　Evn

　　I haven't much interest in studying. To be honest, I don't like reading very much, except for magazines and that sort of thing. Just light reading, that is, to pass the time. But I do enjoy TV. Not that I watch everything. In fact, I choose my programmes very carefully. I'm particularly interested in current affairs. In some ways I think I learn more this way than I did at school.

　　Ted

　　I'm a very sort of person - I simply love doing things. That's why I enjoy sports so much. I mean, actually playing. I hardly ever watch it on TV, but I do read quite a bit about it. I'm even interested in the history of sports. I don't have much time for anything else, except that I quite like dancing. Some people say I'm not very good at it, though.

　　Joan

　　I should say I have great interest in studying. I'd rather do this than anything e1se. Since I left school, I've taken courses in all sorts of things. I go to the city library once a week, but I much prefer evening classes because it's more fun that way. My latest “craze(狂熱)” - if you can call it that - is foreign languages. I'm learning two, not one!

1．These four people are talking about what they do ________.

[　　]

A．in their free time
B．a(chǎn)t school
C．to be proud of themselves
D．to get some extra pay

2．According to what they say, which of the following is not true?

　　Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn't say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

　　“I'm going to cut off these flowers. They're getting old and ugly. So I'll cut them off…”

　　The needle on the machine climbed quickly from zero to 8, then 10, 12, 15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tom felt sorry for them.

　　“No, no!”he cried. “I won't cut you. You're my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I'll take you outside, into the sunshine. You'll like that, won't you?”

　　The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

　　All plants enjoy their owner's love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people's thoughts. So if you have flowers of your own, think about them with love. They will return your kindness in the only way they can; they will grow strong and beautiful.

f．Tom took the plant outside.

g．The needle returned to zero.

B．c; e; d; a; b; h; g; f

C．e; c; a; d; h; b; f; g

D．e; c; a; d; b; h; g; f

2．The only way in which plants can show their love is ________.

[　　]

A．enjoying their owner's love

　　Time talks. It speaks more plainly (明白地) than words. Time communicates(交流)in many ways.

　　Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.

　　In the United States . it is not customary(通常的，習(xí)慣的) to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving (刮臉) or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent (緊急的) and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

　　The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises (出現(xiàn)) between people from cultures (文化) that treat time differently . In the United States, people tend (趨向于) to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one can not escape. As a rule, .Americans think of time as a road into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections (段) , which are to be kept separate… “one thing at a time” . Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment (約會(huì)) with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.

　　Americans look ahead and are concerned(與……有關(guān)系) almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving (牽連) many centuries. Since time has much 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.

1．According to the passage, an announcement made during the day in a factory must be very important because ____.

[　　]

A．it interrupts the work of all employees

B．it is made by the manager

C．it makes everyone lose his job

D．it communicates in many ways

2．In the United States, a phone call made after 11:00 p. m. is considered ________ in the view of the writer.

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)s important as one made in the morning

B．impolite since it disturbs the receiver's sleep

C．to be a threat (恐嚇) to the receiver's life

D．even more urgent than one made early in the morning.

3．An .American may feel angry if ________.

[　　]

A．he is to deal with many things at one appointed time

B．people from different cultures misunderstand him

C．he cannot escape from something fixed in nature

D．others do not keep things separate

4．The expression “the foreseeable future” could be most suitably replaced by ________.

[　　]

A．the future that will not be far away

B．the future that one looks forward to

C．the future toward which one makes progress

D．the future which involves centuries

5．The writer concludes that people of different countries will understand each other better if ________ .

[　　]

A．they know how to communicate with each other

B．they are concerned with the future

C．they learn the way time communicates

D．they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently
