21、Americans think much about time. From childhood, they learn to value(珍视) time. They are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything in America. For example, when they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying, they say he is living on a borrowed time.

For Americans, time is money. Time is also knowledge(知识).Time is everything in America. A working American has to work for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.

They love time because time can bring them money and lots of things. But sometimes, they also hate time, because they feel they have become servants of the time.

22、     Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.

     Here are some other ways to help save resources (资源)for the society:

   ★Use the other side of the paper.

   ★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.

   ★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

   ★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.

   ★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.

     And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

【1】The underlined word “ours” in the passage refers to (指代) _______.

A．our society

B．our old things

C．our life

D．our throwaway things

【2】According to the writer, if we give a second - hand toy car to a neighbor kid, we can____.

A．buy another new one

B．help toy business develop

A．Try to throw as few old things as we can.

B．Use as many disposable things as possible.

C．Drink bottled water even though there is tap water around.

D．Buy everything we need instead of exchanging them with others.

23、

When you hear "single-use (一次性使用)", you might think of something like chopsticks (筷 子) from fast food restaurants. You use them once, throw them away and forget about them. But when we forget about them, we also forget that we're creating waste.

"Single-use" was chosen as Collins Dictionary's "Word of the Year" for 2018. The idea of single-use is not just about real objects that we can touch or see. It also includes the ways that we communicate.

On social media (社交媒体), we see picture, news and articles everywhere. We look, laugh and keep scrolling (滚屏). We never look twice. This is called single-use media. It's all about sharing the small things of our lives. For example, I know what restaurant all of my friends went to last night. However, I don't know their deepest thoughts and feelings about serious problems. I don't even know what their dinner tasted like. I look at their picture and give them a "Like". Then I "throw it away" and keep scrolling.

Social media nowadays make it very easy for us to forget what we have lost. Before we use social media and send messages on the phone, we communicated by talking. We had to remember or write down important things. Many people also communicated by writing letters, which took time and energy. They had to think carefully about each sentence. People treasured (珍惜) and kept letters for years. A letter was serious. It's a shared piece of the writer's spirit.

On social media, we treat our friends and family like cheap chopsticks. It's simple and efficient (有效率的) in use, but we don't spend time sharing little pieces of our thoughts and feelings any more.

【1】From the passage we know that single-use ________.

A.is only about real objects

B.is about using things online

C.includes the ways we communicate

【2】Nowadays people talk and write letters less because ________.

A.they use social media and send messages more

B.they enjoy pictures on the Internet more

C.they eat out with friends more

【3】Which of the following is NOT the single-use way of life?

A.Half people visit an internet-famous restaurant only once.

B.Students read the books again and again to write a book report.

C.1/4 of the apps (应用程序) are opened only once during the use of the phone.

【4】According to paragraph four, we have lost ________ after social media becomes popular.

A.the ability to talk with others

B.the possibility to send messages

C.the real communication with thoughts and feelings

【5】What can you infer from the end of the passage?

A.We should treasure our friends and family by telling them how we think and feel.

B.Friends are like chopsticks, and we should use them only when we need them.

C.There is no need to save the letters from friends because they are meaningless.

24、Time is not a fixed object. The idea of time in any given culture is largely a product created by beliefs, traditions, and values. In some cases, time is thought of as formless and is based on what is going on at the moment, rather than as a planned object. Others regard time as a machine: a real thing which is fixed, which can be divided into schedules (日程安排) and can be wasted.

Similarly, cultures are also likely to think of the passing of time in different ways as well. A society can be moved towards a specific (特定化的) understanding of history. Many cultures, such as British, Native American, Greek, French, Japanese, and some other Asian cultures, take the past, cultural history, and traditions as having the most importance, and use them as a guide in making present-day decisions. Some cultures see the present moment as the most important. Tradition holds little importance, and planning for the future is not the most important thing, but rather the present time is more valued, and these kinds of lifestyles are relaxed. Other societies can be future-oriented (关注未来的), and place an additional focus on planning and forward movement, and the present activities are treated as a bridge to this future goal. This is the common agreement in the United States.

How a person thinks of time can be understood in the way they work together with others. Someone with a focus on the future will hold schedules and times to be very important, as they are necessary for moving on to the next step. However, someone who lives more in the present may consider a certain meeting time as not fixed. In Italy and in many Arab countries, it is normal for people to be 30 minutes late for a meeting. It is different in the United States or Britain, for example, where lateness is accepted only up to 5 or 10 minutes.

The concept (概念) of time, and its flexibility (灵活多变), meaning, and even the nature of its existence (存在) is something which is deeply laid in the base of any culture. It is very important when entering into an agreement with someone, whether socially, or in a business setting, to realize that they may have a different idea about the importance of deadlines and schedules. No one can be right or wrong in their own way, but still people can be accidentally insulted (冒犯) as a result of a misunderstanding.

【1】From the first paragraph, we can know that ________.

A．people think of time as a sign of culture

B．people have different opinions about time

C．time is about what's going on right now

D．time is either a planned object or a machine

【2】The past might be thought of as the most important because ________.

A．it helps us to make present decisions

B．it helps us to plan for the future

C．traditions bring us much pride

D．old countries have a long history

【3】Which example best describes a present-oriented culture?

A．Making a plan for tomorrow's work.

B．Planning a tour to the Forbidden City.

C．Eating dumplings during a festival.

D．Never paying attention to the weather report.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．The Concept of Time

B．The Importance of Time

C．The Tradition of Time

D．The Management of Time
