Passage One
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone
someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early
in the day, while he is 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 it’s a matter of life and
death. The time chosen 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 (发送) only three or four days
6



before the party date.
But it 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 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
cultures that treat time differently; promptness (准时) 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 friend
waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5
minutes late is expected to make a short apology.
21. “The same meaning is attached to telephone calls
made after 11:00p.m.” Here “attached” means ______.
A. taken

C. given
D. bought
22. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at
midnight, this would mean ______.
A. the matter is less important
7



matter is somewhat important
C. the matter is not important
D. it is a matter of life and death
23. According to this passage, time plays an important role
in ______.
A. social life
e life
C. communications
D. transmission
24. The best title for this passage is ______．
A．“The Voices of Time”
B．“The Saving of Time”
C．“The Importance of an Announcement”
D．“Time and Tide Wait for No Man”
25．According to the passage，the author of the article may
agree with which of the follow statements?
A．It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or
four days before the party date in the U．S．
B．It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards
three or four days before the party date in some cultures．
C．It is best for one to make telephone calls at night
because it costs much less．
