【正文】 This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then fortyfive. To an American, that is the beginning of the insult period. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour39。 The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(準(zhǔn)時) 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 ., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour。 Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call municates its importance.8．閱讀理解 故選B。老師可以通過在學(xué)校留出閱讀時間來幫助學(xué)生。t challenge themselves to read difficult books.”學(xué)生們應(yīng)該互相挑戰(zhàn)，多讀些難懂的書。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“Having an interest is the most obvious factor here — if you like the book, you try hard to really understand it.”興趣是最明顯的因素——如果你喜歡這本書，你會努力去真正理解它，可知，興趣或動力對于提高閱讀理解能力來說很重要。他們最常選擇的其他書都很簡單，可知選A。根據(jù)第三段中的“According to the readability, these students39。故選D。ve chosen to read.

So, rather than trying to lecture young people on the benefits of Jane Austen, we should make the nature of the problem clear to them. Students should challenge each other to read more difficult books. Adults could help by setting up noticeboards or organizing social media networks for young people to share their remendations. And teachers can lend a hand by setting aside time for reading in school.
