16、killfulness or being competent to solve a problem.Summary of the Text:Americans are particularly concerned about time. They clearly realize that life is short and consider time a precious resource. Visitors may find that Americans are always in a rush and under great pressure in daily life. They don
17、t usually exchange smiles or brief conversations because they resent wasting time. Americans generally assess and inquire about others professionally rather than socially, so they start talking business directly without opening exchanges. In order to save time, Americans use quite a few labor-saving
18、 devices like telephones, faxes, or emails. Electronic communication is becoming more and more popular, while most personal visiting, which though pleasant, takes longer, is saved for after-work hours or for social weekend gatherings. In the US, unlike in some other countries, quickly solving a prob

32、erstanding of a piece of writing.The main idea of a paragraph is usually stated by one of the sentences in the paragraph. The main idea sentence is commonly known as “a topic sentence or a topic statement. It may appear in one of several places in the paragraph. Most frequently the first sentence of
33、 a paragraph states the main idea, as is clear from the following example taken from Reading Passage A:Consequently, we work hard at the task of saving time. We produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices; we communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal con

37、 Idea: It (= Time) is a precious resource.(In this paragraph the main idea appears in the middle of the paragraph.)2. Americans believe no one stands still.
