21、 Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. It is not customary to telephone someone every early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings often arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness(准时) is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S., no one would think of keeping a business partner waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology.
This way of treating time is quite different from that of several other cultures. This helps to explain the unfortunate experience of a certain agriculturist from the United States, assigned to duty in another country. After a long delay, the agriculturist was finally agreed an appointment with the Minister of Agriculture. Arriving a little before the appointed hour, the agriculturist waited. The hour came and passed. At this point he suggested to the secretary that perhaps the minister did not know he was waiting in the outer office. This gave him the feeling of having done something to solve the problem, but he had not. Twenty minutes passed, then thirty, then forty-five. To an American, that is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by an hour’s wait in an outer office. Yet in the country where this story took place, a forty-five-minute waiting period was not unusual.
In the West, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate— “one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.
Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

A.it is a customary time to make. B.it makes everyone surprised.

22、Tips on buying outdoor solar lights(太阳能灯)

【1】 So you shouldn’t even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn’t get much sunlight. These lights need direct sunlight, or they just won’t work very well.
【2】
The expensive one usually means good quality. Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems. For once, it’s best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. 【3】 At least you should know the difference between a $10 light and a $45 light.
Buy lights that require less installation(安装).
Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground. Therefore, you shouldn’t deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that. 【4】 You don’t need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that’s just a waste of time.
Make sure the lights can store enough energy.

23、Stir-fried Tomatoes and eggs
Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs is a very common and popular dish in China. You don’t need any previous cooking experience to be able to make this dish. Not only is it easy enough to make, it is also delicious and nutritious. Eggs provide the protein that is of great necessity daily while tomatoes are rich in vitamins and minerals. What is even more amazing is that cooked tomatoes have higher nutritional value than raw ones. Try to cook this dish at home today and you might find you will have a great crush in cooking.
Ingredients
tomatoes 2
eggs 2
cooking oil. 2 teaspoons
salt 1/2 teaspoon
sugar 1/2 teaspoon
Instructions:
1. Slice the tomatoes into small pieces.
2. Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them until smooth.
3. Heat the oil in a pan.
4. Add the eggs, and then stir them to make scrambled eggs (炒蛋); Then set it aside.
5. Add the sliced tomatoes into the pan and stir them for 2 minutes.
6. Add the scrambled eggs into the tomatoes.
7. Season with salt and sugar, and it is ready to be served.
Tips for Making This Dish
●My rule of thumb for a good tomato-to-egg rate is: for every one large tomato you use, use one egg.
●Don’t overcook the scrambled eggs while it’s in the pan. Once you have it in the hot pan, let it cook untouched until you start to see the edges starting to cook, then use your spatula (锅铲) to push the eggs towards the center of the frying pan. I usually just push from 4 corners, then tilt (倾斜) the pan so that the raw eggs runs onto the hot pan and I repeat it again, push it to the center.
●When the eggs look about 75% done, you can probably give it one more flip (翻) and then take it off the heat. While you are plating it, it will continue to cook.

24、China is recognized as a world leader in the development of artificial intelligence（人工智能）and facial recognition systems. A Chinese company, the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd.. says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks. Engineers at the company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.
The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.
The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs "single channel" recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings.
The other product is a "multi-channel" recognition system that uses groups of surveillance（监视）cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.
"When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified." said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system's success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. "In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough," Huang said
People were reacting differently to the new technology. While some citizens have beer against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to decrease crime and catch criminals.
【1】What did the company do to build the system?
A．They only used the latest technology.
B．They gathered many face images.
C．They employed hundreds of people
D．They spent about a decade building it.
【2】How does the "multi-channel" recognition system work?
A．By recognizing one's nose.
B．By dividing people into groups.
C．By using a lot of cameras.
D．By identifying individuals one by one.
【3】What is the author's attitude towards the new technology?
A．Doubtful
B．Negative.
C．Objective.
D．Critical.
【4】Which of the following is the suitable title of the text?
A．Say Good-bye to Face Masks
B．Artificial Intelligence and Facial Recognition
C．China—the First to Create Facial Recognition
D．New Facial Recognition System to Identify People in Masks
25、 Dogs are often said to look like their owners, but the breed someone chooses could also reveal key aspects of their personality, psychologists claim.
They found that people _______ different types of dog depending on their lifestyle and character, though they typically don’t realize it.
Corgi owners, such as the Queen, tend to be extroverted, _______ Sir Isaac Newton’s Pomeranian could have signaled that he was creative and intelligent, the study suggested. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s choice of a cocker spaniel puppy, Lupo, may _______ that they are agreeable and conscientious, while owners of greyhounds and beagles are more likely to be emotionally stable.
This could be because, like in a romantic relationship, we tend to _______ ourselves with pets that we feel we share something in common with, researchers from Bath Spa University found.
It could also _______ our lifestyle, with active dogs like retrievers and greyhounds appealing more to people who enjoy spending time _______, they added.
Dr. Lance Workman and Jo Fearon surveyed 1,000 dog owners via an online questionnaire on behalf of the Kennel Club.
The questions were designed to test the so-called “Big Five” traits that _______ our personality: extroversion, agreeableness, emotional stability, conscientiousness and intelligence.
Dr. Workman said there was a definite link between a dog’s _______ and their owner’s personality. “I think when you look for a dog at some level, largely _______, you look for something that is a bit like you,” he said. “It’s a bit like a romantic partner. If they ________ they will probably last, and contrary to popular opinion, with romantic partners opposites don’t attract—you need to have a lot ________ if it’s going to last.”
But it also has to suit your lifestyle, he added. If you’re going to get a(n) ________ breed, you need to be an outdoor type person.
Someone’s choice of dog could also reveal ________ personality traits that do not immediately come across from watching them or listening to them speak.
The Queen’s ________ for corgis, for example, may signal that she is more extroverted than she appears to be, Dr. Workman explained.
He said, “It takes a lot to get up and stand up in front of the number of people she does as often as she does, and give a good talk, and at the same time she has to be controlled as the head of state. ________ the minor royals can party, she’s never been able to do that, so I think the personality that we see appears less extroverted than she actually is.”
