新视野大学英语（第二册）答案Unit OneSection AII Comprehension of The Text1.The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead, he is falling behind.2.Time is treated as if it were something almost real. People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.3.Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. In the writer‟s eyes, city people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.4.Don‟t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point.5.This is because Americans generally assess and enquire about their visitors professionally rather than socially. They start talking business very quickly. Time is always ticking in their inner ear.6.Americans produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices: they communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts.7.The impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand.8.It is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem or fulfill a job with speed in the U.S.III Vocabulary1.Budgeted2.acute3.restless4. surroundingspetent6. assessing7.elbowed8.conductingIV．Filling the Blank1．behind 2 for 3.to 4. out 5.of 6.to 7.in 8.intoV Word Buildingmitment2.attraction3.appointment4.impression5.civilization6. composition7.confusion8.congratulation9.consideration 10..explanation11.acquisition 12.depressionVI1advisable 2desirable 3favorable 4considerable 5remarkable 6 preferable7 drinkable8.acceptableVII Structure1. much less do they take them out for dinner2.much less a big company3.much less carry it upstairs4.much less spoken to him5.much less ( to ) read a lot outside of itVIII.1.Having meals at home can cost as little as two or three dollars, whereas eating out at a restaurant is always more expensive2.We thought she was rather proud, whereas in fact she was just very shy3.We have never done anything for them, whereas they have done everything for us.4.Natalie prefers to stay for another week, whereas her husband prefers to leave immediately.5.Some highly praise him, whereas others put him down severelyIX Translation Chinese to English1.In the eyes of some people, Picasso‟s paintings would seem rather foolish2.The increase in their profits is due partly to their new market strategy.3.The man told his wife to keep the medicine on the top shelf so that it would be beyond the children‟s reach.4.Happiness doesn't always go with money5.That car has given me nothing but trouble ever since I bought it.X Translation English to Chinese1.这种态度的结果是，全国人民都投身到研究、实验和探索中去了。
