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
1、What is the main idea of this passage?
A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S
B. The role of time in social life over the world
C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S
D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same
答案
B
解析
这是一道主旨题。本题询问了本文的中心思想。文章谈论的是时间,引用美国人对待时间的例子开篇,然后用 “In social life, time plays a very important part.”作为总领句,其后展开叙述,主要介绍了时间在美国和世界其他地方社会生活中所扮演的不同角色。选项A和选项C属于文章中的细节表述,不能用来概括文章的中心思想。选项D的表述本身不正确。选项B和上述总领句意义基本相符,因此答案选择B。
