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 “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.
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 “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some returnbe 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 they 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. (348 words)
选项
3、 Americans evaluate a business colleague __________.
A. through social courtesy
B. through prolonged business talks
C. by establishing business relations
D. by learning about their past performance
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题,本题询问“美国人通过什么来评价他们的生意伙伴?”。一般对于细节题,我们需要查找信息所对应的句子或者句群。本题的关键词是a business colleague,我们通过浏览全文,可以将这个信息定位在第五段里,细读之后发现主要在最后两句话里,特别是在句子“We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies.”(我们对于生意伙伴不是通过社交礼仪,而是通过过去的业绩来做出评价的)。因此我们确定选择答案D。
