    This is the age of the quick action. We have instant satisfaction, fast food, speed reading, mobile phones; even the stress management books have titles like “Stress Management in 60 Seconds”.
    Canadian Classics Professor Margaret Visser points out that the perception that we have “no time” is one of the most strict concepts of Western culture. Visser says that “no time” is used as an excuse and also as a spur(刺激); it both stimulates us and forces us, just as a concept such as ‘honour’ did for the ancient Greeks. According to Visser, the feeling that Westerners have “no time” is abstract, quantitative, amoral(非道德性的), unarguable, bringing pressure on each person as an individual. At the same time, the “no time” excuse escapes censure by claiming to be a condition created entirely out of our good fortune.
    Life offers “so many pleasures, so many choices”.
    The fact that women now work outside the home has contributed to the “no time” trend. But more important, Visser says, is the fact that feeling rushed has become an important component(成分) of our economy. Marketing of “time-saving” products causes people to buy more and work longer. So we eat out or buy prepared food to save time. The fax-it-to-my-car technology only contributes to the constant hurry. In our rushed and exhausted state, even the obligation(义务) to sit down to casual meal with family seems like a pressure. In comparison with the decision to act on a sudden whimz (一时的兴致) to consume a microwave mug of soup， the act of eating together and not getting up from the table until everyone else has finished seems an incredibly time-consuming event. Being in one’s own personal hurry in the West is somehow “free and preferable”

    1. 1.

      The word “censure” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “            ”

      1. A.
        examination
      2. B.
        force
      3. C.
        blame
      4. D.
        pressure
    2. 2.

      Which of the following doesn’t contribute to feeling rushed?

      1. A.
        Marketing of time-saving products.
      2. B.
        The fax-it-to-me-car technology.
      3. C.
        Eating together and not getting up until everybody has finished
      4. D.
        Longer working hours.
    3. 3.

      We can learn from the passage that “no time” trend ___________.

      1. A.
        brings pressure on the individual
      2. B.
        is very desirable to the individual
      3. C.
        is not harmful if you have no control of events
      4. D.
        has caused heart diseases and psychological problems

    On Sunday while I was having my own Father’s Day celebration, I thought about my dad a lot. By the time I called to tell him that I loved him, he had already gone to bed. So I wrote the following to show what my dad means to me.
    About 28 years ago, my dad was a used car salesman. Every Thursday night, he would head off to Shreveport, LA for the auction（拍卖会）. Most of the time, I drove a car over there for him so he could sell it there.
    One day, I was riding with my dad to Shreveport for the auction when he found a hitchhiker（搭车者）with a backpack. As soon as dad saw him, he pulled the car over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name and continued to talk to him about all sorts of things. I can’t recall why but he told dad a lot of terrible things that had occurred to him. I sat in the back seat and watched the scene with amazement. I could see that the hitchhiker changed his attitude as he could tell someone who was really listening to him.
    We drove another forty-five minutes before we had to exit the interstate（州际公路）. We pulled over and dad told him to keep his head up and things would start looking up for him soon. He reached into his pocket and handed the hitchhiker a twenty-dollar bill and then a the-dollar bill.
    We drove on and my dad did not say a single thing. I was still completely amazed by what I just witnessed. I was always told everyone to never pick up a hitchhiker and yet my dad did it every single time he saw one. I’m sure that it made that poor man’s day, probably a month to follow.
    While reflecting upon that story, I learned a lot about my dad and life. I learned that if you come from a place of service or compassion, you can change people’s lives. Just one single kind act can change someone’s life. It never occurred to my dad about not stopping to help him.
    This is the type of person my dad is. Thank you for setting such high standards for me to follow.
    Dad, I love you. Happy Father’s Day!

    What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority（优先）over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.
    　　In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail— other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.
    　　Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical（合乎道义的）or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or catch our vulnerability(弱点). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.
    　　Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution（美国宪法）

    1. 1.

      According to the passage, persuasion means ________

      1. A.
        changing others’ point of view
      2. B.
        exercising power over other people
      3. C.
        getting other people to consider your point of view
      4. D.
        getting people to agree with you and do what you want
    2. 2.

      The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means“________”

      1. A.

      3. C.
        speak
      4. D.
        listen

      The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ________

      1. A.
        a danger to society
      2. B.
        difficult to do well
      3. C.

        the reasons why people persuade

    The Japanese believe that a person has two souls, each necessary. One is the “gentle” soul; the other is the “rough” soul. Sometimes the person uses his gentle soul; sometimes he must use his rough soul. He does not favor his “gentle” soul; neither does he fight his “rough” soul. Human nature in itself is good, Japanese philosophers insist, and a human being does not need to fight any part of himself. He has only to learn how to use each soul properly at the appropriate times. Virtue for the Japanese consists in fulfilling one’s obligations to others. Happy endings, either in life or in fiction, are neither necessary nor expected, since the fulfillment of duty provides the satisfying end, whatever the tragedy it inflicts (遭受，承受). And duty includes a person’s obligations to those who have conferred benefits upon him and to himself as an individual of honor. He develops through this double sense of duty a self-discipline which is at once permissive and rigid, depending on the area in which it is functioning.
    The process of acquiring this self-discipline begins in childhood. A Japanese child is given his own identity very early! If I were to define in a word the attitude of the Japanese toward their children I would put it in one succinct (简洁的) word – “respect”. Love? Yes, abundance of love, warmly expressed  from the moment he is put to his mother’s breast. For mother and child this nursing of her child is important psychologically.
    Rewards are frequent, a bit of candy bestowed ( 给予) at the right moment, an inexpensive toy…As the time comes to enter school, however, discipline becomes firmer. To bring shame to the family is the greatest shame for the child.
    What is the secret of the Japanese teaching of self-discipline? It lies, I think, in the fact that the aim of all teaching is the establishment of habit. Rules are repeated over, and continually practiced until obedience becomes instinctive. This repetition is enhanced by the expectation of the elders. They expect a child to obey and to learn through obedience. The demand is gentle at first and tempered to the child’s tender age. It is no less gentle as time goes on, but certainly it is increasingly inexorable （不可阻挡的）.

    1. 1.

      The main purpose of the passage is to discuss_________.

      1. A.
        the belief system of the Japanese people 
      2. B.
        Japanese view of happiness
      3. C.
        Japanese view of duty                
      4. D.
        self-discipline of the Japanese people
    2. 2.

      What can be inferred according to the Japanese belief system?

      1. A.
        Some people have two different souls.
      2. B.
        Some people are born evil.               
      3. C.
        One should try to achieve the happy ending.
      4. D.
        Duty is central in Japanese view of virtue.
    3. 3.

      In the teaching of self-discipline the Japanese emphasize _________.

      1. A.
        obligations to one’s family and relations.
      2. B.
        early tolerant training combined with restrictive movement
      3. C.
        heavy external (外界的) control including strict punishment
      4. D.
        a permissive atmosphere almost until adulthood
    4. 4.

      How do the Japanese teach their children of self-discipline?

      1. A.
        They lie to their children about the benefit of self-discipline.
      2. B.
        They develop their children’s habit of obedience through various teachings.
      3. C.
        They rely on the important role of schools.
      4. D.
        They use rewards to set good samples of self-discipline.
    5. 5.

      What does the underlined word “It”in the last sentence refer to?

    Apply to an American College
    Earlier, we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world. We also discussed the rules for entering the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online.
    But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you. Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.
    Some students want to attend a small college. Others want to go to a big university. If a really big university appeals to you, then there are ones like Ohio State. That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost fifty-two thousand students. There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.
    Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Website. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.
    Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online. You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.
    Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough. Another important step is taking admissions tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take.
    Colleges and universities also require international students to take the TOEFL — the Test of English as a Foreign Language.
    If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series, write to special @ voanews. com.
