I left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband, and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke(中风). Being strong and independent, she continues to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldn’t look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told him I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organization. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking for---Easy Care Gardening(ECG)!
There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer some of their time. We cover a large age range,

but all love gardens and helping others.
Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney’s North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.
Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call “clients(客户)”, but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they have to tell—the family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney. 24. Why did the author move to Sydney?
A. She planned to volunteer there. B. She had to look after her sick mother. C. Her husband would work there. D. She was very keen on adventures. 25. What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer? A. The tips of her friends. B. Her own experience. C. The popularity of ECG. D. Her gardening skills. 26.What do the volunteer at ECG have in common?
A. They make friends with their clients. B. They are of similar ages and backgrounds. C. They like to explore Sydney’s North Shore. D. They are kind-hearted with the same interest.
27. What does the underlined word “one ” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Client. B. Reason. C. Garden. D. Joy

When people show up at an appointment, it varies with the custom, social situations, and their relative status.
In North America, if you have a business meeting scheduled, the time you should arrive largely depend on the power relationship between you and the person who you are meeting. People who are lower in status are expected to arrive on time, if not early. People of higher status can expect that others will wait for them if they are late. For instance, most people who have medical appointments are expected to arrive early and to wait patiently for their doctor to

see them rather than the other way around. An invitation to a party is an entirely different matter. It is often expected that most guests will arrive “fashionable late”.
It generally takes a North America child at least 12 years to master these subtle(微妙的) cultural aspects of time. By 5 to 6 years old, they usually only know the days of the week, the difference between day and night, morning and afternoon, meal and nap time. By 7 to 8 years old, most can consistently use the clock to tell time. However, it is not until about 12 years old or older that they begin to know the situation aspects of time, such as when to arrive at a party.
When people come together with very different cultural expectations about time, there is the potential for misunderstanding, disappointment, and hurt feelings. This could occur, for instance, if a Brazilian businessman does not arrive “on time ” for a meeting with a North American customer in New York. For the Brazilian, time may be relatively “flexible” and the pace of life is a bit slower. He believes that he is punctual enough for the scheduled business meeting, having arrived in half an hour of the appointment. It is not surprising that he is astonished and offended when he is coldly treated by the North American who also feels slightly by what he sees as rudeness.
This unhappy situation can be avoided, of course, by foreknowledge about the other culture and willingness to adopt a cultural relativity approach. The old saying “When in Rome do as the Romans do” is still good advice. 28. What does the text mainly discuss? A. How to set aside cultural differences. B. Cultural use of time changes accordingly. C. Appointments should be taken seriously worldwide. D. What social behavior is accepted in North America. 29. What can we know about people in North America? A. They usually turn up late at a party.
B. They must arrive early for a business meeting. C. They learn cultural aspects of time from birth. D. They rarely arrive on time for medical appointments.
