They need to learn to live in a different environment. Some laws and rules are written down. They can learn about them before they arrive. But there are lots of "unwritten rules," too. Unwritten rules are behaviors that no one talks about, but that most people understand.Here is a list of five important issues any new arrival to the U.S. should know about.Be "on time." In some cultures, time is not a big issue. If you tell your friend to meet you at 2 p.m. and you arrive at 2:45 p.m., there is no problem. In the U.S., people feel that being on time is a sign of respect. If you are late by more than a few minutes, people will think you do not care. They will feel you are wasting their time. They will take your lateness as an insult.Be sure you always "tip." In many countries, after you eat at a restaurant, you only pay the amount shown on the bill. But, in the U.S., people who work in restaurants and bars often earn a low hourly wage. So, they try to provide excellent service, hoping the customer will give them a "tip," meaning a little extra. People in the U.S. tip between 15 percent and 20 percent of the bill. You also give tips to taxi drivers, hotel employees and the people who cut your hair.Be careful what you say. Any place you go there will be some things that are proper to talk about and some things that are not. Supposing that people have the same beliefs as you is a bad idea. In the past decade, people in the U.S. have become more open about discussing strong politicaland religious views. But it is still best to listen to people share their opinions first and then decide about sharing your own. Also, there are several topics you should avoid asking questions about: how much money a person makes and if they are married. But if a person offers this information, then there is no problem.Be polite for the situation. People in the U.S. define being polite in very special ways. For example, waiting in line involves a strong set of rules in this country. You must wait until the people in front of you have done what they are waiting to do. When going through a door, the person behind you expects you to hold the door for them. Also, it is common for people you do not know to say hello to you when passing you. But this does not always mean they are inviting you to stop and talk for a long time. Many times the person is just being friendly. If you don't say hello back to them they may think you are being unfriendly.26. The passage talks about several issues except ______.A. timeB. personal spaceC. giving tipD. education27. What's the meaning of the word confusing in paragraph 1?A. 轻而易举的B. 引人发笑的C. 令人疑惑的D. 令人尴尬的28. If you are late in the U. S., the one you meet________.A. will insult youB. will think you don't respect him/herC. will think it's okayD. will ask you for some tip29. How many examples are shown on "being polite"?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.30. Which of the following is TRUE in the US?A. It's not polite to ask a person if he/she is married.B. You'd better think that people have the same beliefs as you.C. It's not allowed to discuss about religious views.D. People usually tip 80 dollars if their bill is 80 dollars.BOnce upon a time, there lived a very rich and wealthy man in a big town. He led a luxurious life.He always showed off his wealth to his friends and relatives.His son was studying in a distant city and he returned home for vacation. The rich man wanted to show off to his son how rich he was. But his son didn’t like any luxurious lifestyle. However, the rich man wanted to make his son realize that his lifestyle was extremely rich and that poor people suffered a lot. He planned a day’s visit to the entire town to show him the life of the poor people.The father and the son took a chariot and visited the entire town. They returned home after two days. The father was happy that his son was very quiet after seeing the poor people honouring（尊敬） the rich man and after witnessing the sufferings of the poor.The rich man asked his son, “Dear boy, how was the trip? Have you enjoyed it?”“Yes my dad, it was a great tri p with you,” the son replied.“So, what did you learn from the trip?” the father asked.The son was silent.“Finally you have realized how the poor suffer and how they actually live,” said the father.“No father,” replied the son. He added, “We have only t wo dogs, they have 10 dogs. We have a big pool in our garden, but they have a large bay（港湾） without any end! We have luxurious and expensive lights from various countries, but they have countless stars lighting their nights. We have a house on a small piece of land, but they have abundant fields that go beyond the horizon （视野）. We are protected by huge and strong walls around our property（财产）, but they bond with （与……连着） each other and surround themselves with their fellow beings. We have to buy food from them, but they are so rich that they can grow their own food.”The rich father was stunned and speechless, on hearing his son’s words.Finally the son added, “Dad, thank you so much for showing me who is rich and who is poor. Thank you for letting me understan d how poor we really are!”31. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “luxurious”?A. richB. freeC. troublesomeD. difficult32.

However, for many years, Americans have expressed fear that the industry is in danger.Matthew Burnett knows this all too well. The American businessman started a watch company in 2007. At first, he had overseas（海外的） manufacturers make all his products. As a result, Burnett often faced shipping delays（延误）, a lack（缺乏） of quality control, and time zone problems. Later, he developed into leather goods. Still, he tried to find factories in the country to make the wallets, belts, and other products of his new brand. And he was not alone. Many American businessmen found it easier to go out of the country for manufacturing. There was no central marketplace for the industry.So, Matthew Burnett, and his business partner Tanya Menendez, created one. They called it Maker's Row. Since 2012, the online marketplace has been connecting businessmen with American manufacturers.Matthew Burnett explains. "What we try to do at Maker's Row is to encourage the brands to start producing in the United States so that you see more made in America products on the shelves. We used to produce 97 percent of the goods that we consume here in the United States, today it's less than three percent. So it makes it very challenging to find sometimes made in America products, but that's the situation we're trying to change, by bringing these brands back home to produce."Maker's Row helps brands and businesses find and organize their supply chains（供应链）in the country. Besides, Maker's Row can be especially helpful to new or part-time entrepreneurs（企业家）. The site, , can provide a plan for turning an idea into a business. And co-founderTanya Menendez says Maker's Row offers classes and training. "We have an online course. They're designed for people with busy lifestyles or those who may start off working 9-to-5." Today, the Maker's Row website has 80,000 registered users.The BCG company in Boston advises businesses around the world. It estimates（估计） the average cost to manufacture goods in the U.S. is only five-percent higher than in China. And the company predicts（预计） that by 2018 the cost difference will narrow further, to as little as two percent higher. Maker's Row and other similar efforts could play a big part in making that prediction come true.36. What is true about the situation of manufacturing in the U.S.?A. It plays an unimportant part in the country.B. It’s important and the top of the world.C. It’s importand in the country but not as good as before.D. Few people in the U.S. care about this industry.37. According to Burnett, what problems did he face when he found overseas manufacturers?A. Time zone problems, shipping delay, and a lack of quality control.B. Shipping delay, high pay, and a lack of quality control.C. A lack of shipping control, high pay and a lack of time.D. Different time zones, shipping delay, a lack of labour.38. What is the main purpose of Maker's Row?A. To help college students learn to start their business.B. To have more products made in America.C. To encourage businessmen to find overseas manufacturers.D. To raise money through online lessons.39. According to the last paragraph, which of the followings is not true?A. It is predicted that the cost difference between America and China will be smaller.B. Now the average cost in the U.S. is 5% smaller than in China.C. The average cost in the U.S. will probably be 2% higher than in China.D. Maker’s Ro w will help to make the cost difference smaller.40.
