Answer 1

分析 美國(guó)人認(rèn)為時(shí)間重要．他們從小學(xué)會(huì)珍惜時(shí)間． 作為孩子，他們被教導(dǎo)要準(zhǔn)時(shí)上學(xué)，要做的工作和做所有的事．一個(gè)美國(guó)人已經(jīng)努力工作了8小時(shí)一天或一周40小時(shí)．這是工作時(shí)間．在空閑時(shí)間，他也為了錢而努力工作．

解答 50：C．細(xì)節(jié)計(jì)算題．根據(jù)文中第二段"A working American has to work hard for 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week．"可計(jì)算出一個(gè)美國(guó)工人每周工作五天．故選C．
51：D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．通過(guò)文中第一段"When a person is dying，they say he is living on borrowed time．"可知當(dāng)一個(gè)人死去，他們說(shuō)他生活在借來(lái)的時(shí)間里．明確這個(gè)人已經(jīng)死去了．故選D．
52：D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．通過(guò)文中第二段"In his free time，he also works hard for more money．"在他的空閑時(shí)間，他也為了錢而努力工作，可知答案選D．
53：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段Americans think a great deal about time．From childhood they learn to value time．As children，they are taught to be on time to go to school，to do work and to do everything可知美國(guó)人珍惜時(shí)間，很準(zhǔn)時(shí)，故A，B對(duì)，通過(guò)文中"But sometimes they also hate time，for they feel they have become servants（仆人）of the clock．"可知有時(shí)候也討厭時(shí)間，故C錯(cuò)，D對(duì)．故選C．
