In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority (權(quán)威) keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S. children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.Some straight talk about the American personality must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isnt always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely (不慌不忙的) ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual (相互的). Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.31. In order to show the respect for older people, _.A. people from some other cultures will always express their true feelingsB. people from some other cultures may sometimes hide their true feelingsC. Americans always show their true feelingsD. Americans usually argue with them32. Why is the extremely competitive nature considered as one of the American faults?A. Because people from other cultures fear competition.B. Because only American people own it.C. Because it will make people forget leisure.D. Because it may sometimes urge people to do something bad.33. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. American people are more critical of everything than people from other culturesB. the author believes that American character has more faults than virtuesC. the author admires American virtues as they are viewed as competitive and anti-traditionalD. it is difficult for newcomers to get on with Americans34. The passage mainly talks about _.A. American virtues B. American charactersC. American faults D. American lifestyles四任務(wù)型讀寫Educating girls quite possibly gets a higher rate of reward than any other investment (投資) available in the developing world. Womens education may be an unusual field for economists (經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家), but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics, with its focus on encouragement, provides all explanation for why so many girls fail to receive an education.Parents in low-income countries dont invest willingly in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and usually have to stay at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school.An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on developing all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has huge economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning. Educating women also has a significant influence on health practices, including family planning.TopicThe significance of female (76)_ in developing countriesViewpointEducating girls (77) _ a family more than any other investment.(78) _ indifferent families Girls are of less (79) _ than boys.
