writers areprecisely the way cultural conflict is encouraged.Why is understanding a culturealways the others5 responsibility?It is not possible that each culture could be madeaware of different

life isshort and consider time a precious resource.Visitors may find that Americans arealways in a rush and under great pressure in daily life.They dont usually exchangesmiles or brief conversations because they resent wasting time.Americans generallyassess and inquire about others professionally rather than socially,so they starttalking business directly without opening exchanges.In order to save time,Americans use quite a few labor-saving devices like telephones,faxes,or emails.Electronic communication is becoming more and more popular,while most personalvisiting,which though pleasant,takes longer,is saved for after-work hours or forsocial weekend gatherings.In the US,unlike in some other countries,quicklysolving a problem or fulfilling a job successfully is a sign of skillfulness or beingcompetent.After Reading1.DiscussionWork in small groups and discuss the following questions.1)Why is time so important for the Americans?2)How do Americans treat time?3)What does

in the paragraphsThe particular reading skill introduced for this unit is reading for the main idea in a paragraph.This skill is one of the most useful reading skills students can develop.Finding the main idea isnecessary for the understanding of a piece of writing.The main idea of a paragraph is usually stated by one of the sentences in the paragraph.Themain idea sentence is commonly known as a topic sentence or“a topic statement”.It mayappear in one of several places in the paragraph.Most frequently the first sentence of a paragraphstates the main idea,as is clear from the following example taken from Reading Passage A:Consequently,we work hard at the task of saving time.We produce a steady flow oflabor-saving devices;we communicate rapidly through faxes,phone calls or emails rather thanthrough personal contacts,which though pleasant,take longer-especially given ourtraffic-filled streets.We,therefore,save most personal visiting for after work hours or for socialweekend gatherings.(Para.5,Reading Passage Af Unit 1)Main idea:We work hard at the task o f saving time.However,the main idea sentence may also appear in other places:in the middle orat the end of a paragraph.Look at two more examples taken from Reading Passage A:1.i(W e are slaves to nothing but the c lo c k,it has been said.Time is treated as ifit were something almost real.W e budget it,save it,waste it,steal it,kill it,cut itfaccount for it;we also charge for it.It is a precious resource.Many people have arather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime.Once the sands have run out ofa person hourglass,they cannot be replaced.W e want every minute to count.(Para.2,Reading Passage Af Unit 1)Main Idea:It(=Time)is a precious resource.(In this paragraph the main idea appears in the middle of the paragraph.)2.Americans believe no one stands still.If you are not moving ahead,you arefalling behind.This attitude results in a nation of people committed to researching,experimenting and exploring.Time is one of the two elements that Americans savecarefully,the other being labor.(Para.1,Reading Passage Af Unit 1)Main Idea:Time is one of the two elements that Americans save carefully,theother being labor.(In this paragraph the main idea appears at the end of this paragraph.)Do Exercise XIV in the textbook:(at Page 16-17)Comprehension of the TextI Introductory
