When you walk along a street in a big city in the United States, you may see clocks in most stores. Radio announcers give the concert time during the day. People there think that it is important to know the time. Most Americans have watches. They want to do certain things at a certain time. They do not want to be late.
But not all the people over the world value time. Suppose you visit a certain country in South America. You would find that people living there do not like to rush. If you had an appointment with someone, he would probably be late. He would not care for arriving on time.
In some countries in South America, even the radio programs may not begin on time. Nor do the radio announcers think it important to announce the exact time. Many people regard a clock as a machine. They do not want a clock or any machine to have that much power over their lives.

It is well known that Canada is a caring nation. The government makes every effort to offer its citizens all kinds of public welfare. It really makes Canadians proud of their country. But when Canadians enjoy comfortable public service, they may become lazy and self-satisfied. And they may lose the motive to pursue a better life and they are very content with what they have. Especially as baby boomers（生育顶峰期诞生的人）retire and Canada therefore may become less productive. Therefore, they will fail to compete and their standard of living will sink.
Nowadays, Canadian weaknesses have shown up in many fields. When a country shows weakness and isn’t as competitive as before, their image is weakened. So their unique Canadian way of life appears less pleasing and loses value.
In the near future, Canadians will have to work a lot harder in order not to fall behind. They find developing countries like China are showing up, and they will have a huge influence on the future world.
So all Canadians, no matter what kind of jobs they have, need to work hard, be dedicated, and struggle for the best. Everyone has an important role to play in helping the country be successful. With their hard work and intelligence, they can set a unique, positive, impressive example and walk towards a better world. It is important that in the future the Canadian way will be still impressive, pleasing, and
above all, workable in the new world order.
45. The author wrote this passage to ________.
A. tell people that Canadians’ image is weakened
B. warn Canadians not to show weakness in the future
C. encourage Canadians to work hard to build a better world
D. tell people that Canada will not be a caring country
46. Canadians have to work hard because of the following reasons EXCEPT that ________.
A. if not, the Canadian way of life will lose its value
B. young generations are not as productive as the older ones
C. developing countries will influence the future of Canada a lot
D. the caring society makes people lose working ability
47. According to the passage, we can infer that _______.
A. Canada has fallen behind because Canadians are lazy
B. Canada has paid attention to China’s development
C. the Canadian government offers its people good public service
D. Canadians can enjoy good welfare provided by the government
C
Body Language
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every culture. We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It’s important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a
hug(拥抱).
Space is important to Americans .When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, “Pardon me ”or “Excuse me.”
Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talk ing. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指).Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.
Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的).If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.
