Birth, marriage and death, they are the greatest events of human life. ① In our life, many events good
or bad may happen to us. But there are three days which are usually marked by some kinds of special
ceremony (仪式): the day we are born, the day we get married, and the day we die. These are the three
main events in life. We only have a choice in the second on the three: we can only choose to or not to marry.
②We have no choice in birth and death. Almost all human beings----______ the most primitive (原始的)
______ the most civilized (文明的)---are affected by these three events. The only thing that differs in each
society is the way these things are celebrated. In fact, all societies (社会) share some common characteristics.
Birth is a joyful event. The proud parents receive congratulations and presents from their relatives and friends
because of the new-born. Marriage is also a delightful event. The young couple (夫妇) go through a special
wedding ceremony; receive presents and set up their new home.
Death causes much sorrow and is marked by a special ceremony and mourning. The dates of all these
three things are usually remembered. |

An office meeting starts at 10 a.m.. Hans, a German, is already waiting at 9:55. Nathan, an American,
arrives right at 10 o"clock. In the next five minutes a few others hurry in. But Raul, the visitor from Brazil,
walks in at 10:30. He doesn"t even think he"s late. How different the understanding of time is around the world! Germans like arriving early. Americans plan to arrive just on time. Brazilians think it OK to be half an hour late.
In 1884, a clock in Greenwich, England, set the standard (标准的) time around the world, which is known
as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). But it couldn"t standardize (使标准化) when people will arrive for a 10 a.m. meeting.
As people have different understanding of time, all cultures (文化) can be put into one of the two groups:
time-oriented (导向的) and event-oriented. Time goes first in time-orient cultures. In event-orient culture,
what happens is more important than when. Such knowledge is important for today"s world travelers.
Not understanding these different ideas about time can sometimes bring trouble. For example, American
students often quickly exchange "how are you?" and "fine" as they rush to make class on time. But event-orient
students see this exchange as impolite. Before they can say anything more than "fine", the American student
has already hurried past them.
What can the world traveler do to avoid (避免) such time-related trouble? Follow the age-old rule: When
in Rome, do as the Romans do. |
| 1. If the school starts at 8:30 a.m., what time does your German friend probably arrive? |
A. Around 8:25 a.m.
B. Right at 8:30 a.m.
C. Around 9:00 a.m.
D. After 9:00 a.m. |
| 2. Which of the following does not belong to the time-oriented culture? |
A. People care about time more than anything else.
B. People don"t really mind whether they are late.
C. People often hurry past you with short greetings.
D. Everything usually takes place at the planned time. |
| 3. What does the underlined sentence "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." mean in this passage? |
A. You should do everything as the Romans do when you go to Rome.
B. You should do what the Romans tell you to if you are in Rome.
C. You should know the time-idea of the local people and do as they do.
D. You should do everything as the local people do when you are in a new place. |
| 4. Which of the following is true? |
A. People from different cultures have the same idea about time.
B. It"s quite usual for a time-oriented person to be late.
C. Different understandings of time never bring any trouble.
D. An event-oriented person may feel uncomfortable in the USA. |
| 5. Which of the following is the best title? |
A. Greenwich Mean Time
B. How to Avoid Time-related Trouble
C. Different Cultures, Different Understandings of Time
D. Time-oriented Culture |

Have you ever had problems in your life and don"t know how to be happy? If so, you will find Being a
Happy Teenager written by an Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us
how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.
There are many subjects, such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and
learn to forgive. ①The book tells us some useful skills, such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better.
Many teenagers think that ②______ comes from a good exam result ③______ praise (表扬) from other
people. But you can still be happy when there are no such "good" things. Success comes from a good attitude,
you learn from thinking about things in a positive way. If you are tall, people notice you and you can get a
better view at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is
Matthews" most important lesson: you choose to be happy! |
