INDEpeNDENCE
Most people in the US believe that independence is very important. They do not think of themselves as
representatives of their families, communities, or social class. Students think those who depend on their family are dependent. Teachers expect students to be independent, to work alone, and to produce original work.
EQUALITY
The Declaration of Independence states, “All men are created equal." In many ways, people believe this; you can see equality in such common practices as waiting in line. When you go to the bank or to the post office, you will be asked to take a number and wait. No matter how important you are, you will be treated like anyone else; first come, first served. You can also see equality in the classroom. All students are the same in the eyes of the professors. Similarly, professors sometimes ask students to call them by their first names.
PUNCTUALITY (準時)
Many people in the US are very punctual and organize their activities around schedules. Being late is rude. If you cannot be on time, tell the people who are waiting for you. For business appointments, you should arrive a few minutes early. For social appointments, you should arrive 10-15 minutes after the appointed time.
MATERIALISM (物質主義)
Success in the US is often measured in dollars. Many people in the US think more about money and material possessions than people in other countries. As a result, you may think that people ignore those more important things in life, like love and friendship. This is not true: like people in every country, most people in the US still value friendship or love more than wealth.
28. Professors ask students to call them by their first names in order to _____.
A. show that they are all equal B show that they are respectable
C. prove that they love the students D. give the students freedom.
29. If one earns lot f money in the US, he or she _____.
A. will never think of earning more money B. will be regarded as a successful person
C. will consider wealth to be less important D. will ignore love and friendship
30. According to the text, Americans _____.
A. are the most punctual people in the worldB. always arrive early for appointments
C. encourage students to cooperate with othersD. look down on those who rely on their parents
