They are not real invitations because they don't mention an exact time or dayThey just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are：“Yes，that would be nice.” Or “OK，yes，thanks.” So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation，listen carefullyIs it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?1It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying“”ASorry, we'd love to but we have tickets for the concert BThanksWe'd love toWhat time?CSureWe'd like too, thanks a lotDNo，we wouldn't!2If the British just want to end a talk politely，they may say，“”AWould you like to come for dinner on Saturday? BLet's go out for a meal one of these daysCLet's go out for a meal on Saturday DShall we go for a drink this afternoon?3The British often use“”to answer the invitations that are not realAYes, what time? BNo，that's not a real invitationCOK，yes，thanks DNo，you just want to be friendly（B）Humans are social animalsThey live in groups all over the worldAs these groups of people live apart from other groups，over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas，which form different culturesOne important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with timeTime is not very important in nonindustrial societiesThe Nuer people of East Africa，for example，do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call timeThe daily lives of the people of such nonindustrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clockThey cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes downThey plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripeThey measure time not by a clock or calendar（日历），but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other eventFrequently such a society measures day in terms of “sleeps or longer periods in terms of “moons”Some cultures，such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animalsSome cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time'For example，when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time，one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a treeEach day the angle of the sun changes slightlyIn a few days，the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain wayWhen this happens, the people see that the agreed-upon time has arrived and the event can take placeIn contrast（成对比），exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern，in detribalized societiesThis is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to workFor a factory to work efficiently（well，quickly and without waste），for example，all of the workers must work at the same timeTherefore，they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoonPassengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or departStudents and teachers need to know when a class starts and endsStores must open on time in order to serve their customersComplicated（复杂的）societies need clocks and calendarsThus，we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule，complicated society could hardly work at all4By saying “Humans are social animals”，the author means Athey live all over the world Bthey are different from other animals Cthey live in one place，district or country，considered as a whole Dthey are divided into many groups5Time is not very important in nonindustrial societiesThis is because people in those societies Adon't have the word TIME in their languages Bdon't get used to using clocks and other timepieces Cdon't measure time in their daily lives Ddon't need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule6The Australian aborigines' way of “telling time” is based onAthe change of the sun rays Bthe movement of the earth in relation to the sunCthe position of the stone Dthe position of the tree or the cliff（C） At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurseToday，however，America is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War lRecently about 2，000，000 nurses are needed and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten（say that you will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want）the quality of care providedThe demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causesOne possibility is the fact that women have greater career options（职业选择）In the past，women who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices：nursing or teachingToday，more women than ever are in the work force，but their options have greatly increasedThere are women doctors，lawyers，firefighters and police officersIn fact，women today are found in nearly every field of workNursing has been left behind，as women move on to jobs with higher pay and greater status （地位）A woman or man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as “merely a nurse”Teachers may be also at faultMany high school students are actually being steered（劝导）away from nursing，told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attentionIn fact，the number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty yearsObviously a larger population requires more nursesAIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to need nursing careUsually fatal diseases mean long drawn-out hospital stayThat is to say，more nurses are needed to care for these patientsIt is estimated that the demand for nurses will be doubled the supply in the coming ten years7Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage? ABecause the demand of nurses has been doubled BBecause more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors CBecause women have been provided with many different jobs DBecause women no longer choose to be nurses8The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for Anot mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US Bintroducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students Cnot asking the government to raise the nurses payment Dpersuading the students not to be nurses9The author
