Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what
the values are which
Americans live by. They have never given the matter any thought.
Over the years I have introduced thousands of international visitors to life
in the United States. This has
caused me to try to lock at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors,
I am confident that the
values listed in this booklet describe most (but not all )Americans, and that
understanding these values
can help you, the international visitor, understand Americans.
It is my belief that if foreign visitors really understand how deeply these
13 values are ingrained in
Americans, they will then be able to understand 95% of American actions —
actions which might
otherwise appear “strange,”“confusing,”or “unbelievable” when
evaluated from the perspective of
the foreigner’s own society and its values.
The different behaviors of a people or a culture make sense only when seen
through the basic beliefs,
assumptions and values of that particular group. When you encounter and
action, or hear a statement in
the United States which surprises you, try to see it as an expression of one
or more of the values listed in
this booklet.
31.Can an ordinary American tell you his/her value system?
A.Yes, because this is something an American lives by.
B.No, because everyone will have his/her own system.
C.No, because he/she has never thought about it.
D.Yes, because values are something often in their thought.
32.The author lists 13 values in his booklet to _____.
A.invite foreigners to visit America
B.look at Americans through the eyes of foreign visitors
C.describe the confusing actions of most Americans
D.help international visitors understand Americans
33.The word “ingrained” in Line 2, Paragraph 3 most probably means _____.
A.rooted in the minds
B.found in the grains
C.planted for food
D.prepared with grain
34.Visitors sometimes fine Americans behave in a strange, confusing or
unbelievable way, probably because

States?

B.By comparing it with the values of yourself and your country.

D.By looking at the particular group of people who behave or speak that way.
