Do you forget to turn off the lights and heaters when you go out of a room? In 2040 it will not
matter. They will turn themselves off and on again when you return. A sensor will detect the presence
of a human and turn the systems on, and when the humans leave it will turn them off again.
The sensors will work through the central home computer, and they will do much more than just
turn the fires and lights on and off for you. They will detect faulty electrical appliances, isolate them
so that they cannot harm anyone, and then warn you that they need repair. They will detect fire and if
you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police, should the
sensors detect an intruder（非法闯入者）. You will open the door using your personal card--the one
you use for shopping--maybe using a number known only to you.

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
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
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.
答案： D
(2)、In the fourth paragraph,
A：a less important thing
B：a first concern
C：a good business
D：an attractive gift
答案： B
