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 ：“I wish all of the white scholars to stand for a moment .”I rose with the others . The teacher looked at me and ，calling my name ，said：“You sit down for the present ，and rise with the others .”I did not quite understand her .She repeated ：“Yous it down 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 dismissed ，I went out unconsciously .A few of the white boys laughed at me ，saying：“Oh， you’re a nigger ，too.”
I hurried on as fast as I could to where my looking –glass 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 my 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 .I buried

my head in her lap and cried out：“Mother ，tell me ，am I a nigger ？”I could not see her face ，but I felt her hands on my head .I looked 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 I 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：“No ，my darling ，you are not a nigger .”She went on ：“If 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 ：“Well ，mother ，am I white ？ Are you white？” She answered tremblingly：“No ，I am not white ，but your father is one of the greatest men in the country .The best blood of the South is in you .”This suddenly opened up in my heart a fresh fear ，and I almost fiercely demanded：“Who is my father ？ Where is he ？”She stroked my hair and said ：“I’ll tell you about him some day.”I sobbed：“I want to know now .”She answered：“No ，not now.” 21.We can infer from the passage that “a nigger ”means________.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
For Americans， time is a “resource” that， like water or coal， can be used well or poorly. “Time is money，” they say. “You 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 fro constructive， future-oriented activities. Thus， Americans admire a “well-organized” 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-Europeans. They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there around them， not something they can “use”。 One of the more difficult things many foreign 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 clocks and their schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are the truly important things in life. “They are like little machines running around，” one foreign visitor said.
