Section C
Directions:
In this section, you will hear a passage three times.
When the passage is read for the first time,
you should listen carefully for its general idea.
When the passage is read for the second time,
you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43
with the exact words you have just heard.
For blanks numbered from 44 to 46
you are required to fill in the missing information.
For these blanks,
you can either use the exact words you have just heard
or write down the main points in your own words.
Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
you should check what you have written.
For Americans, time is money.
They say, "You only get so much time in this life,
you'd better use it wisely."
The future will not be better than the past or present,
as Americans are trained to see things,
unless people use their time for constructive 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 is considerate of other people's time.
They do not waste people's time with conversation
or other activity that has no visible beneficial outcome.
The American attitude toward time
is not necessarily shared by others, especially, non Europeans.
They are more likely to regard time
as something that is there around them.
Not something they can use.
One of the more difficult things many students
must adjust to in the States
is the notion that time must be saved
whenever possible and used wisely every day.
In this context, the fast food industry
is a clear example of an American cultural product.
McDonald's, KFC,
and other fast food establishments
are successful in a country
where many people want to spend
the least amount of time preparing and eating meals.
As McDonald's restaurants 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.
