Work days officially start at 9:00 should really mean 9 o'clock-not ten past or free with starting time, but employers notice half past nine. You will this even though they do find some A. M. This people feel not necessarily blame it officially. Employees inmany there nations have an idea that one works when the boss is present，but any time he is not if there is nothing specific or pressing to do, one can relax by reading the newspaper, doing one's fingernails, or otherwise "passing the time" in a personal way. In America one is being paid for one's time. Employees are expected to find other work if their own desks are dear, to finish anything left from previous days, or to help someone else with his work-bait never sit without doing their duty. The employer expects value for the money he is spending. He "owns" your time while he is paying for it. The phrase "time 992

is money,"means exactly that.The boss is not asking more of you than he is doing himself; he will quite probably work through lunch hour and even take work home late at night. Employee's lunch hours should be kept within the given time (unless one is officially discussing company business.)Long lunch-time absence may be overlooked now and then, but not habitually.Also,although others may start getting ready to leave the office a few minutes earlier,new employees should be careful not to cut the day short.Work until the day officially ends at five o'clock if you are in an office where flexible work time is the accepted procedure.Flexible work hours-starting or ending work earlier or later-are fairly common in Europe but relatively new in the U.S.A. Some half million Americans are on the system;some people estimate that ten million will have that option sooner or later.The system is designed to ease traffic problems at first. But it adds family time to women workers as a result,for it enables them to choose their time working in an office,thus allowing them more chances to work and take care of their children at the same time.Besides it gives people a greater sense of control over their lives. A by-product appears to be greater worker productivity,less absenteeism and a higher sense of work ethic. 26.In the first paragraph,the phrase "crop up"means A.matter a great deal B.be very important C.account much D.happen or arise 27.In the sentence "..but employers notice this even though they do not necessarily blame it officially”,the pronoun“this”refers to the fact that A.some people feel free to do whatever they want to do B.this or that employee is late for work C.work days officially start at 9:00 A.M D.nine o'clock means nine o'clock exactly 28.The author suggests that it be a wrong idea that in America. A.if one is not busy,he can relax by reading the newspaper B.one is being paid for one's time C.one should keep working no matter (the boss is present or not D.time is money 993

The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Tirnes have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or LeMonde is in France，since each American city has its own daily newspapers. The best of these present derailed accounts of national and international news，but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news. Like the press in most other countries， American newspapers range from the "sensational"，which feature crime, sex and rumour, to the“serious”，which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television. Just as American newspapers appeal to all tastes，so they also try and apply to readers of all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist(极端分子)groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views，in order to present a balanced picture. 994
