Last year more than a million and a half foreign tourists visited the United States. In or

der to understand intercultural problems better, and perhaps to find ways to improve the American image abroad, a reporter recently interviewed some of these visitors as they were leaving to return home. He especially wanted to find out their first impressions of the United States, what places they most enjoyed visiting, and some of their likes and dislikes.

As far as first impressions are concerned, almost all of the foreigners were impressed by the tremendous size of the country. The United States, of course, is a large country. The distance between San Francisco and New York is about the same as that between Gibraltar and Baghdad. Indeed, the entire Mediterranean Sea could easily fit within the country's borders. Even expecting this, foreigners who visit the United States for the first time are overwhelmed by the vast distances. Apparently to be believed, such distances have to be traveled.

The foreign visitors were also impressed by the range of climate and the variety of scenery in the country. Many were amazed to discover that, in the same day, they could travel from the snowy cold of New England winter to the sunny warmth of Florida sunshine. Even in the single state of California, they could find sandy beaches, rocky shores, tropical vegetation, hot dry deserts, redwood forests, and towering snow-capped mountains.

They were also impressed by the informal friendliness of Americans. Whether on buses, trains, planes, or at vacation or scenic resorts, there visitors generally agreed that they had been greeted warmly. On the other hand, some reported that hotel clerks, waiters, and taxi drivers were often unsympathetic, impatient, and rude. The most common complaint of all was that so few Americans can speak any language but English, and some foreign visitors claimed that they had difficulty understanding the American accent.

What does "this" in "Even expecting this" (para. 2) refer to？

A．The distance between San Francisco and New York.

B．The vastness of the country.

C．The size of the Mediterranean Sea.

D．The country's borders.

Living in a second culture can be like riding on a roller coaster. Sometimes foreign visit

ors are elated; sometimes they are depressed. First there is the combination of enthusiasm and excitement that is felt while travelling. New foods and aromas, different faces, foreign language, and interesting customs all fascinate the traveller. A foreign visitor usually has high expectations and is eager to become familiar with a new culture.

Of course, international travellers may have difficulties in understanding the adjustment problems that trouble them. Many people do not recognize that the problems, feelings, and mood changes that are related to living in a second culture are not unique. It is common for international visitors or immigrants to vacillate(摇摆) between loving and hating a new country. The newness and strangeness of a foreign cul ture are bound to affect a traveller's emotions.'

"Culture shock" occurs as a result of total immersion(沉浸) in a new culture. It happens to "peo ple who have been suddenly transplanted abroad". Newcomers may be anxious because they do not speak the language, know the customs, or understand people's behavior. in daily life. The visitor finds that "yes" may not always mean "yes", or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The notion of "culture shock" helps explain feelings of bewilderment and disorientation (不辨方向 ).Language problems do not account for all the frustrations(挫折) that people feel. When one is deprived of everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing bow to make friends, difficulties in coping with new society may arise.

The word "elated" (Para. 1, Line 2) means ______.

A．high-spirited

B．low-spirited

C．curious

D．impressed

阅读理解Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what the values are which Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.

Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States. This has caused me to try to look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors. I am confident that the values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that understanding these values can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.

It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these 13 values are ingrained in Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions — actions which might otherwise appear “strange,” “confusing,” or “unbelievable” when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigner's own society and its values.

The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen through the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter an action, or hear a statement in the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one or more of the values listed in this booklet.

1. Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system？

A. Yes, because this is something an American lives by.

B. Yes, because values are something always in their mind.

C. No, because no one cares about his/her value system.

D. No, because he/she has never really thought about it.

2. The author lists 13 values in his booklet to __________.

A. invite foreigners to visit America

B. help international visitors understand Americans

C. describe the confusing actions of most Americans

D. look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors

3. The word “ingrained” in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

A. rooted in the minds

B. found in the grains

C. planted for food

D. prepared with grain

4. Visitors sometimes fine Americans behave in a strange, confusing or unbelievable way, probably because _________.

A. Americans are hard to understand

B. Americans have values which are entirely different from their own

C. they view Americans according to the values in their own society

D. it is difficult to understand any people when you first encounter them

5. How can you understand a surprising behavior. or statement of an American when you visit the United States？

A. By comparing it with the values of yourself and your country.

B. By expressing one or more of the values in this booklet.

C. By linking it to the basic beliefs, assumptions and values of the Americans.

D. By looking at the particular group of people who behave or speak that way.

For Americans, time is a "resource" that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorl

For Americans, time is a "resource" that, like water or coal, can be used well or poorly."Time is money," they say."You only get so much time in this life; you'd best use it wisely." The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time for constructive, future-oriented activities.Thus, Americans admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people's time.

The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Europeans.They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, not something they can "use".One of the more difficult things many foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.

In their efforts to use their time wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life."They are like little machines running around," one foreign visitor said.

The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of the future, change and time.To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources.American businesses sometimes hire "efficiency experts" to review their operations and suggest ways in which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing.Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.

In this context the "fast-food industry" can be seen as a clear example of an American cultural product.McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do.As McDonald's restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.The typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.

1.If a person treasures other people's time, he （）.

A.does not waste people's time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome

B.does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past

C.likes to deep a written schedule of the daily activities with him

A.think that time is always there which needs budgeting

B.enjoy saving and using time wisely everyday

C.are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines

D.are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the important things in life

3.What is the job of an efficiency expert？

A.Writing articles for periodicals.

B.Recommending ways of efficient investment

C.Examining the quality of a company's products

D.Teaching people how to take care of their yard

4.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph？

A.Many Americans love having meals at fast-food restaurants

B.Americans are busier than other people in the world

C.The American fast-food industry helps spread the American culture around the world

D.The United States is the father of the world's fast-food industry

阅读：Gestures aren't the only area in which the unwary traveler can get tripped up

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Gestures aren't the only area in which the unwary traveler can get tripped up. Foreign cultures adhere to different business customs and behavior. For example: Caffeine junkies should restrain themselves in the Middle East.“Three cups of tea or coffee is　usually the polite limit in offices and during social　calls,” counsels “Travel Pak, ” a free publication of Alia, the Royal Jordanian Airline. “But if your host keeps going, you also may continue sipping. If you've had your fill, give your empty cup a quick twist a sort of wiggle—as you hand it back. That means “No more, thank you.”

Middle East visitors also should not be surprised “if others barge right into the office in the middle of your conversation with the person you are seeing,” notes “Travel Pak.” An old Arab custom calls for keeping an “open office.”The British, however, consider it impolite to interrupt a visitor, even after all business has been transacted. The commercial caller is expected to be sensitive to this point, know when to stop, and initiate his or her own departure.In Japan certain guests at evening business gatherings will leave early. They should be allowed to leave without effusive good byes. The Japanese consider formal departures to be disruptive in such cases and disturbing to remaining guests.　In Scandinavia and Finland business guests may be asked to shed their clothes and join their hosts in a sauna. The invitation is a sign that a good working relationship has been established.

In the Arab world, the word “no” must be mentioned three times before it is accepted. In contrast, it is considered good business manners to make many and long efforts to pick up the check.　In the People's Republic of China, gift giving is considered an insult, says Patrick J. Lewis, President of Club Universe, a Los Angeles tour operator. “If you want to give someone a gift, make sure it's modest in value.　This will not be considered offensive, but it may be declined, ” The Chinese manner of expressing friendship and welcome is to clap. Lewis adds. “Youmay be greeted with clapping when entering a factory, hospital, commune, or school.　Politeness dictates that you respond with applause, even though it may seem like you're clapping for yourself.”

31. In the Middle East, it is considered ____.

A) impolite to drink at least 3 cups of coffee

B) impolite to drink more than 3 cups of coffee unless your host drinks more

C) polite to ask the host to give you as more as he can

D) polite to leave a party as early as you want

32. In Japan, the guest at an evening party will ____.

A) leave early without saying good bye

B) stay as long as he can

C) stay to have a swimming with the host

D) present their business cards immediately

33. In Finland, business guests may ____.

A) take flowers to the host

B) send an expensive gift to the host

C) have a swimming or sauna with the host

D) present a business card

34. In China, a gift to the host means ____.

A) attemption to praise the host

B) a modest manner

C) a respondence of applause

D) offended action to the host's dignity

35. Which of the following statement is NOT true according to the passage？

A) Uninvited visitors are welcome in Middle Eastern office.

B) In Britain, business visitors can stay as long as they like.

C) In China, people may greet a foreigner's entering a school with clapping.
