Good morning, everyone．My topic(论题，话题)for today is "How Americans Value(重视)Time”．
Americans think a lot about time．From childhood(童年)they learn to value time．As children, parents teach them to be on time to go to school, to do work and to do everything．When they are having a good time, they say that time flies．When a person is dying(死亡), they say he is living on(靠……生活)borrowed time．
Time is money．Time is knowledge．Time is everything in America．A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week．This is the working time．In his spare time, he also works hard for money．Even Saturday and Sunday are filled with(用……装满)other things．In the street you can hardly see a man who walks slowly．They walk very fast．In fact, they are running．
When you ask Americans why they are in a hurry(匆忙)all the time, they will probably say, "Time is money．"
1．When do Americans start to value time?
2．What do American parents tell their children to do when they go to school?
3．What do Americans do when they are happy?
4．Americans are hard-working, aren't they?
5．"Time is money．"is a proverb(谚语，格言)．Please write out four proverbs：one is from this article; the other three mustn't be included(包含，包括)in this test paper(考试卷)．

查看习题详情和答案>>farmer. They had watched the sheep for a long time. And they knew that there were twenty-eight sheep
in the farmer's yard.
In a deep night, they came to the outside of the farmer's yard and got ready to steal all the sheep. But
they found that the gate was locked inside, and they couldn't open it. Finally, they came up with a good
idea. They dug a big hole in the wall so that one of the thieves was able to go into the yard and pass the
sheep out one by one to the other. In order to stop the sheep from running away, the thief outside must
cut off its head quickly with a sharp knife while the thief inside was passing a sheep out of the hole.
They started to work like that and the work was going well. "One, two, three...,"they both counted
the numbers silently, "...twenty-six, twenty-seven..." However, the thief inside stopped counting. "Where
is the twenty-eighth sheep?" he thought. "Did I make a mistake?" So he stretched （伸) his head out of
the hole to ask the other thief. However, the thief outside thought it must be the twenty-eighth sheep's
head. He didn't think about anything and cut off the head at once.
The two thieves never knew that one of the sheep would have a baby sheep and it had bean sent to
the vet by the owner before they came that night.
