In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness 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 U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)
选项
4、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date
B. There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the concept of time
C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A
D. Promptness is valued highly in American life
答案
D
解析
这是一道细节题。本题询问哪项陈述是正确的。依据文章的内容,美国人认为如果在宴会三四天前才受到邀请,那受邀者就会认为自己不是很受重视,因此选项A表述是错误的;来自不同文化背景的人之间会对时间这一概念产生误会,因此选项B表述是错误的;在美国如果要是和朋友约会需要提前很多天打电话通知对方,因此选项C表述也是错误的;准时在美国社会是受到高度认可的,文章倒数第四行有一句话“Promptness is valued highly in American life”表达的就是这个观点。因此选项D表述是正确的。
