单词填空：
第一篇
Americans
value
time
and
save
it
carefully.
Time
is
a
real,
precious
resource
to
them
so
every
minute must
count
. Visitors
may think Americans are always in a rush and
under
pressure
. Smiles,
short
conversations,
and
small
exchanges
with
strangers
don't
exist
as
in
other
countries.
Americans
assess
others
professionally
rather
than
socially.
They
start
talking
business
immediately
since
they
are
always
conscious
of
time
and
dislike
too
much
time.
Americans work hard at
saving time. They would have meetings using
equipment like television
screens and
telephones
rather
than
in person.
Quickly solving a problem
or doing a job successfully is a
sign
of skill.
The more important the job,
the more
time and effort Americans will
pour into
it.
This often makes it difficult for people from
other cultures to understand Americans.
Therefore,
adjusting
to
another culture has become so
important
to us. This requires a great deal of personal and
cultural
awareness
. In
short, it is highly
necessary for us to
develop appreciation for things that are foreign
to us.
第二篇
Perhaps
second only to the question
hate
hearing
motor
along the highway.
Car sickness can make
family vacations unfortunate for both
the sufferer
and
the rest of the family.
Motion
sickness, which includes car sickness, sea
sickness and air sickness, affects most people
to
different
degrees. Symptoms range from
a
general
feeling of discomfort to nausea
(
恶心
) and
vomiting
(
呕吐
).
Doctors
at
UT
Southwestern
Medical
Center
at
Dallas
say
the
discomfort
results
from
conflicting
messages being sent to the brain. The
brain relies on messages from the inner ear,
the muscles and the eyes to tell it
where the body is in space. When any of these body
parts send
different
messages,
the
brain
gets
confused
,
and
you
get
queasy
(
想呕吐的
).
For
example,
if
you're reading in the car, your inner
ear knows you're moving, but your muscles think
you're sitting
still and your eyes
don't see anything moving because they're looking
at the page. On an airplane,
your
inner
ear
senses
the
motion,
but
your
eyes
only
see
the
inside
of
the
airplane,
which
looks
still
.
Treatments for motion sickness range
from
folk
remedies (
疗法
)
like ginger (
生姜
) capsules
(
胶囊
)
to medicine.
If you suffer from motion sickness, try sitting in
the front seat of the car,
avoid
reading
while in the car, and look out the
front window rather than the side windows. On a
plane, pick a
seat over a
wing
. On a boat,
try to stay near the center. There is less motion
in these areas.
