The Pentagon(五角大樓), headquarters of the Department of Defense in US, is one of the world's largest office buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. There are very few people throughout the United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. Many have followed news stories coming from this building. However, relatively few people have had the chance to visit it.

The Pentagon is in fact a city in itself. About 23,000 employees, both soldiers and other people, contribute to the planning of the defense of the country. These people arrive daily from Washington, D.C. and around over about 30 miles of highways, including express bus lanes(快車道) and one of the newest subway system in the country. They ride past 200 acres of grass land to park about 8,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 131 stairways or take 19 lifts to reach offices that occupy 3,705 square feet. While in the building, they tell time by 4,200 clocks, drink from 691 water taps, make use of 284 rest rooms, use up 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks prepared or served by a restaurant of 230 persons and distributed(分散于) in 1 dining room, 2 cafeterias, a snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar.

The building itself is an extraordinary structure. Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient buildings in the world. In spite of 17.5 miles of corridors(走廊) it takes only seven minutes to walk between any two points in the building.

60. Which of the following statements about the Pentagon is true?

A. Most Americans know about it.                    

B. It is now open to the public.

C. Around 23,000 workers contribute to its planning. 

D. It is one of the world's tallest buildings.

61. Which of the following statements about the transportation of the Pentagon is NOT true?

A. It is easy to reach by subway.                     B. People can drive directly to it.

C. People can go there by bus.                           D. The parking lots cover 200 acres of land.

62. Why did the author write so many numbers in the second paragraph?

A. To show that he knew quite a lot about the Pentagon.

B. To show the vast size of the Pentagon.

C. To show it costs a lot of money to keep the Pentagon going.

D. To show that the Pentagon is a convenient place.

63. What do you know about the structure of the Pentagon?

B. The longest distance between two offices is 17.5 miles.

C. It takes no more than 7 minutes to walk from one place to another.

D. There are neither rest rooms nor snack bars in it.

    Just as our degree of individual freedom uncomfortable to many foreign visitors, foreign attitudes toward truth seem uncertain to Americans.

    In many countries people will tell you what they think you want to hear, whether or not it is true. To them, this implies politeness. To Americans, it is considered misleading-even dishonest--to distort facts on purpose, however kind the motive. The point is ---our priorities(優(yōu)先) are different; in the United States truth has a higher priority than politeness. We are taught from babyhood that “Honesty is the best policy.” Elsewhere, politeness, honor, family loyalty, “machismo” or many other values might come far ahead of honesty if one is listing priorities.

    But with us, trust and truth are of paramount importance. If we say of a man, “You cannot trust him.” This is one of the most damning statements that can be made about him.

    In view of such profound differences in values, it is natural that misunderstandings and irritations often occur, especially in exact areas such as the negotiation of contracts. A Mexican has said, “With us b business is like a courtship(求愛).” Americans lack this grace, but on the other hand you can count on their word. You know where you are with them; except in advertising, they will not be “whispering sweet nothings” that they do not mean in order to make you feel desirable!

    “How far is it to the next village?” the American asks a man standing by the edge of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to reach his destination, he will politely say “Just down the road.” He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives on through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “tricked.” He thinks the man deliberately lied to him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.

    Had conditions been reversed, the American would feel he was “cheating” the driver if he implied the next town was close when he knew it was really 15miles further on. Although, he, too, would be sympathetic to the weary driver, he would say, “you have a good way to go yet; it is at least 15 more miles.” The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.

    This often-epeated question of accuracy versus courtesy leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cultures. If you are aware of the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.

       A．Truth or politeness       B．Truth or lying

       C．Cultural differences     D．Honest Americans

       A．treat a business deal like a courtship

Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing?

Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta （Putnam）. She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic（法庭的） intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.

If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World （Riverhead）. Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer （as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia）, you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.

What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny （Random House）, about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest （March, on stands now）, by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.

Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking （Simon & Schuster）. Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.

      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 it 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.”

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it．People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management．It seems they all want to organize their time better．Professionals carry around pocket planners（計(jì)劃書） — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines．People do all they can to press more life out of their time.

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 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 convenient．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 pm.

Even Americans would admit that no one can master time．Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger．And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict．However, time is one of life’s most precious gifts.

77．The main idea of the passage is _______.

       A．time is money             B．different attitude toward time in the world

       C．how to save time            D．how Americans treat time

78．In the fourth paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _________.

       A．Americans respect others’ time in daily life

      B．Americans seldom call after 10:00

       C．Americans inform before paying a visit to their friends             

       D．when planning an event, Americans usually fix time ahead of time

79．The underlined phrase “think twice” （in Paragraph 4） probably means “_______ “.

       A．think for a second time               B．be careful

       C．be afraid                           D．pay attention

80．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

       A．Americans like time better than anything else          

       B．generally speaking, Americans respect their time 

       C．on the whole, Americans treasure their time      

       D．Americans consider their time is difficult to master and predict

    Sadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now we’ve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings — whether it’s after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one. So it’s no surprise that more and more people are taking them.

But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn’t. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose. Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purpose—and if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists insist not. Sadness has a unpleasant habit of turning into depression they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.

So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a kind of self-protection, as other primates (靈長類) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesn’t show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey — and that could result in death.

In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.

Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.

   A. taking medicine                       B. falling in despair

64. The author believes sadness is ________.

   A. a good thing for people’s health      B. something horrible never to touch

65. Some animals show their sadness in order to ________.

A. cheat their enemy                  B. protect themselves 

C. comfort the loser                  D. challenge the winner

66. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A. people with great creativity tend to be happier   

B. unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career

C. too much happiness can be bad for your career

D. the happiest people are the most successful ones

         If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are．

         Take the taxi drivers for example．Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare（車費(fèi)） of two US dollars a kilometer．You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare．The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety．

         The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners．Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals．The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration（登記） card to the waiter．With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge．

         The Finnish workers are paid by the hour．They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate．From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly．

         With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”．But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms．And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in．As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”．

60．The underlined words in this passage means to “______”。

         A．be ready to help others             B．make good use of one’s friends

         C．be a little ahead of others        D．gain something at other’s loss

61．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

         A．While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare．

         B．In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if you’re living in the hotel．

         C．The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours．

         D．The workers are always honest with their working hours．

62．We can infer from the passage that ______．

         A．the Finnish society is of very high moral level

         B．there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland

         C．in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anything

         D．everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves

63．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

         A．Life in Finland                B．A Society with “Foolish” People

         C．What a Life                          D．Honest accounts of the Finns
