二、阅读理解
1、 A farmer had once made a purchase of a fine fat sheep, hoping to offer it up to the Buddha. While he was leading it home, four thieves saw him and made up their minds to steal the sheep. They knew him to be an honest person and one who thought of no more harm in others than he had in himself. They dared not take the sheep away from him by force, for they were too near the city. Therefore, they thought hard and got an idea: they first parted company and then came to the man as if they had come from several distinct parts.
The first thief came up to the farm and said, "My good old man, why are you leading this dog?"
At this moment the second thief, coming from another direction, cried to him, "Poor old man, where have you stolen this dog?"And immediately after these words, the third thief came up and asked the farmer,"Where are you going with this handsome greyhound?"
The poor farmer began to doubt whether the sheep was a sheep or not. But the fourth robber put him quite beside himself by coming near him and asking what the dog cost him.
The farmer began to think and got the conclusion that the four men, who came from different directions, could not all be wrong. He believed that the sheep he was leading was a dog. On realizing this, the farmer went back quickly to the market to demand his money from the person who sold him the dog, leaving the dog with the four thieves.

2、
A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.
Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.
You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else "wasting"it beyond a certain courtesy point.
The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called "a short fuse." We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.
Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.

(1)、Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________
A：Americans seem to be always under pressure.
B：Americans attach less importance to patience.
C：Americans don't care much about ritual socializing.
D： Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.

(2)、In the fourth paragraph, "a high priority"means ___________.
A：a less important thing
B：a first concern
C：a good business
D：an attractive gift
答案： B
(3)、Americans evaluate a business colleague ________.
A：through social courtesy
B：through prolonged business talks
C：by establishing business relations
D：by learning about their past performance
答案： D
(4)、This passage mainly talks about __________.
A：how Americans treasure their time
B： how busy Americans are every day
C：how Americans do business with foreigners
D： what American way of life is like
答案： A
(5)、We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________.
A：critical
B：ironical
C：praiseful
D：objective
答案： C
