17、 given the matter any thought. Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life in the United States.

18、ericans, 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 areingrainedinAmericans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions-actions which might o
19、therwiseappear strange, confusing, or unbelievable when evaluated from the perspective of the foreigners 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.

24、d worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hardwork.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,Mr C
25、astle, how are you? We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, It was nice talking to you, Brett. I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put Irvingdown on my name plate. If hed have
26、said, Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you? Id have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One ofthese was: you couldnt accept tips. Okay, Im outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people,
27、the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. Id say, Im sorry, I cant. Theyd get angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it intheir hand and you expect them to say, Oh, thanks a lot. When you say, Im sorry, I cant. They feela lit
28、tleput down.They say, No one will know. And they put it in your pocket. You say, I really cant. It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the stores belief in being friendly.

29、d made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away.

30、job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.35. What can be the best title for this text? A. How Hard Life Is for Box BoysB.

It is accurate to say that each of us has
39、our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is nec
40、essarily true that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, an
41、d who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful
42、when judged by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set ones goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise man once said to a young man who wa
43、s experiencing frustration (挫折）with his own professional success, “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,” The man added, You have not really fai
44、led and spoiled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort. ” 42.

A. their life is busy and miserable B. they havent reached their own standards C. they set their goals at too low a level D. they are not rich in material possessions 44. From the last paragraph we
46、 can tell that _. A. success means achieving great goals B. success comes from great goal setting C. success means efforts and favorites pay off D. success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel 45. The purpose of the passage is _. A. to give us a clear definition of what success is B. t
47、o talk about how to achieve success C. to state what our life goal is D. to discuss the importance of goalsE The forces that make Japan one of the worlds most earthquake-prone (有倾向的) countries could become part of its long-term energy solutionWater from deep below the ground at Japans tens of thousa
48、nds of hot springs could be used to produce electricity. Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal (地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation. Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy, said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading research
49、er of thermal-electric power productionThe disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japans energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent. Artist Yoko Ono has cal
50、led on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs. For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.
51、 The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories. Another problem is that Japans potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbiddenWe cant even dig 10
52、cm inside national parks.” said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow. Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, “Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project. We also have to think about what to d
53、o for now as energy supplies will decrease in the short term.” The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts（兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology. Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothe
54、rmal technology, with a 70 percent market share. In 2010, Fuji Electric built the worlds largest geothermal factory in New Zealand46. What would be the best title for the text? A. Alternative energies in Japan B. Japan thinks of geothermal energy C. Japan takes the lead in geothermal technology D. W

But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job, but my boss put in a seventy-hour week, besides re
62、gular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books. The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life, however, is that while I was in it I lost my love of books. A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books, and that gives him a dislike for them. There was a ti
