Then something may began to happen to us: to work upon our bodies and our souls.

considerable human resources in an effort to obtain technology. Her ability to negotiate 11 by the fact that most of the technology she wanted was no commercial secrets. Japan's 12 has also been strengthened by the fact that her internal nlarket was large, so that 13 to this market could be offered to multinational cmnpanies as an attraction to them to grant licenses.

Conditions of this sort, 17 together in one nation, may well be unique, and the case of Japan may therefore not actually demonstrate that licensing is just as efficient as multinational ownership for the 18 of technology.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
One day, the principal came into our room and, after talking to the teacher, for some reason said: \others. The teacher looked at me and, calling my name, said: \sit down for the present, and rise with the others. \now, and rise with the others. \I sat down puzzled and dumb. I saw and heard nothing. When the others were asked to rise, I did not know it. When school was disntissed, I went out unconsciously. A few of the white boys laughed at me, saying:\“
I hurried on as fast as I could to where my looking@ass hung on the wall in my own little room. For an instant I was afraid to look, but when I did, I looked long and earnestly. I was accustomed to hearing remarks about nay beauty ; but now, for the first time, I became conscious of it and recognized it. I noticed the ivory (象牙) whiteness of my skin, the beauty of my mouth,the size and liquid darkness of my eyes. I ran downstairs and rushed to where my mother was sitting. f buried my head in her lap and cried out: \me, am I a nigger?%up into her face. There were tears in her eyes and I could see that she was suffering for me. And then it was that ] looked at her critically for the first time. I had thought of her in a childish way only as the most beautiful woman in the world ; now I looked at her searching for defects. I could see that her skin was almost brown, and that she did differ in some way from the other ladies who came to the house ; yet, even so, I could see that she was more beautiful than any of them. She must have felt that I was examining her, for she hid her face in my hair and said with difficulty: \my darling, you are not a nigger. \She went off: \anyone calls you a nigger, don't notice them. \But the more she talked, the less was I reassured, and I stopped her by asking: \white?\greatest men in the country. The best blood of the South is in you. %up in my heart a fresh fear, and I almost fiercely demanded: \he'?.\She stroked my hair and said: \tell you about him some day. \I sobbed: \want to know now. \\

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
For Americans, time is a \poorly.
\is money,\they say. \only get so much time in this life; you'd best use it wisely. \
The future will not be better than the past or the present unless people use their time for constructive, future-oriented activities. Thus, Americans athnire a \person, one who has a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them, The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people's time.
The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others, especially non-Euro-peans. They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them, net something they can \businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.
In their efforts to use their time wisely-, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their elooks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life. \ The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of the future,change and time. To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources. American businesses sometimes hire \accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the resources they are investing. Popular periodicals carry, suggestions for more
efficient ways to clean house, raise children, tend the yard, and so on.
In this context the \industry\can be seen as a clear example of an American cultural product. McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and other fast-food establisbhments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals. The millions of Americans who take their meals at fast-food restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over their food while
conversing with friends, as millions of Europeans do. As McDonald's restaurants have spread around the world, they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed,efficiency, and shiny cleanliness. The typical American food, some observers argue, is fast food.
26. If a person treasures other people's time, he __ [ ] A. does not waste people's time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome
B. does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past C. likes to keep a written schedule of the daily activities with him D. likes to have his meals at the fast-food restaurants to save time
