21st Century, published in Beijing once a week, is an English language newspaper and it is my favorite newspaper. It contains News of the Week, Today¡¯s World, Language Class, Sports and Music and Students¡¯ Report. There are plenty of beautiful pictures and interesting articles in it. Not only can we read it to learn more new words to improve our English but also we can get all kinds of information. As is known to all, 21st Century is very popular with students.

When Dean Arnold got his first job, he was miserable (Í´¿àµÄ), Each time he went to work, he coughed and he couldn¡¯t breathe. Working in a bakery(Ãæ°ü·¿) when you are allergic to (¶Ô¡­¹ýÃô) flour can be painful.

But Arnold stayed with the National Biscuit Company for ten years. He was a businessman and he helped them improve production. At last his health problems became too serious. He left and formed his own company.

With his wife and mother, he founded Arnold Bakery. They tried new recipes (Åä·½) changing the kind and amount of flour used. This enabled Arnold to work there without too much pain. The bread, made with unbleached flour (±ê×¼·Û), was baked in a brick oven (ºæ¯).

They began by baking two dozen loaves. The bread was sold door to door for fifteen cents a loaf. Winning customers to his unusual, old-fashioned bread took time. But Arnold, struggling against his allergy, built his bakery into one of the largest in the United States.

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world? That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don't try that at work.

American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is suitable. Only very close friends will just "drop by" unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.

1.Why are the Americans fond of the expression ¡° Time is money.¡±?

A£®Because they can¡¯t control time.

B£®Because they is the same all over the world.

C£®Because they consider time as a thing like money.

D£®Because they consider time as a valuable resource.

2.In America, if you are more than 10 minutes late to an appointment,

A£®it doesn¡¯t matter

B£®it is necessary for you to make an apology

C£®you needn¡¯t say anything about your delay

D£®you needn¡¯t call ahead to let others know you will be late.

3.What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A£®The reasons why Americans value time.

B£®The ways to show their respect to the time of others.

C£®Being on time is highly valued in the USA.

D£®Never drop in on others unless you are their close friends.

4.We can infer that .

A£®you mustn¡¯t be on time when you attend an informal get-together.

B£®you can¡¯t change the time of an appointment once you fix it.

C£®Americans never call up others after 10 p.m.

D£®Americans think highly of punctuality at work.

5.The main idea of the passage is .

A£®that Americans value punctuality

B£®that in the USA time is limited and valuable.

C£®the Americans attitude towards time.

D£®the Americans¡¯ control over time.

I arrived late one night, on a business trip, and had dinner in a restaurant. As I was finishing my meal, an old couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had smiles on their faces. Shortly after I ended a 20-year , I still had pain in my heart and I was at the love they show for one another.
