Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling．One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush．And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment．But when they discover that you are a stranger，most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you．

It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $ 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $ 100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes

The British like moving. They regard the opportunity to travel far and frequently as a right. Some people spend up to two or three hours each day getting to work in London or some other city and back to their suburban or country homes in the evening. Most people do not spend time quite so long each day traveling, but it is taken for granted that few people live near enough to their work or secondary school to get there on foot. As elsewhere in Europe, there are serious problems of traffic congestion(拥挤) and pollution.

The playwright David Henry Hwang has been in high demand in recent years—not for works like his Tony Award-winning M. Butterfly, which is essentially banned there,【C1】______because of his standing as the only son of Asia to be【C2】______regularly on Broadway. In 2005 he was【C3】______to Shanghai to discuss Broadway-style shows that might fill the lavish (耗费巨大的) cultural centers under【C4】______across the country. Yet our appreciation for status symbols【C5】______Broadway and Mr. Hwang did not translate into understanding more ordinary aspects of American life. "We【C6】______to one brand-new cultural center that had extremely beautiful Italian marble (大理石), fine Brazilian wood, smart German design and these horribly【C7】______signs for handicapped restrooms that read, 'Deformed Man's Toilet,'" Mr. Hwang recalled. "You saw this over and over—an eagerness【C8】______Chinese and Americans to impress one another,【C9】______wildly basic misunderstandings because of language and cultural【C10】______I realized I'd never seen a play【C11】______with this aspect, where the characters are trying to understand each other【C12】______keeping the dignity of their own language." Mr. Hwang's latest play, Chinglish, now【C13】______preview performances on Broadway at the Longacre Theater, is his【C14】______to grapple (努力应付) with East-West relations from a good【C15】______that is new for him. Starting with his earliest plays at Stanford—his first, FOB, went straight【C16】______a dormitory production to a run at the Public Theater in New York in 1980—he has【C17】______multiculturalism, the stranger-in-a-strange-land tensions that【C18】______Asian-Americans and others of hyphenated ethnicity. With Chinglish, 【C19】______has no Asian-American characters, Mr. Hwang has moved on from multiculturalism to consider internationalism today, specifically the frustrations【C20】______by Americans and Chinese who are united in capitalist greed but divided by their cultural sensibilities.

Car servicing is something that every car owner has to experience at least some time of the year. The best method to service your car is to go to your car service station and have the servicing done methodically(有条理地)according to your car maker. Consider this: Your car is up and running smoothly but the mileage(里程)figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certainly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months? Servicing your car is a simple DIY(Do It Yourself)job that you can learn quickly and easily save some good money. If you have never serviced your car before personally, here's your resource: Servicing Basics Car servicing essentially means inspecting the car thoroughly for any damaged components, and replacing some parts regularly that wear out over time. If you review carefully it is certainly possible to do all this by yourself, as below; You will need a complete set of tools as provided by your car maker when you purchased the vehicle. This will usually consist of all the spanners(扳手)that you might need. Completely servicing your car will need a few hours but you will end up saving a lot of money. Besides, it's fun too and a lot of learning.

Today our knowledge of food and what it does for our bodies is far more advanced than that of the old times. Now we know about vitamins and how each kind of vitamin helps in the growth of a particular part of our body. There are on the market all kinds of vitamins which one can take to make up for one's lack of certain important things that are needed for good health. Of course, if we eat well and properly, the food we eat will take care of our body and so there is no need to take any kinds of vitamins unless our doctor tells us that our bodies are short of something that can be supplied by them. Generally speaking, everything we eat does some good to our body, but if we eat too much of one kind of food and pay too little attention to others, we may have too much of one kind and not enough of others. Then we may be in trouble. We are often told that we must eat some meat at each meal in order to get the necessary proteins. That is only partly true, for proteins are not found only in meat. We can also get them from some vegetables. The best advice about what to eat is that we should eat all kinds of food but never too much for any.
