Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress，food and hours of work—while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate (气候)，while getting on with business.

　　Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite；the service is better；you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However，other differences can be troubling, like punctuality (准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest，an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.

　　本文介绍了作者所感受到的文化差异。

　　. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought ________.

　　A. the American bank didn't think much of him

　　B. the American bank might hire another person

　　C. it's difficult to get used to American culture

　　D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans

　　答案：A。推理判断题。由第一段中“That “quite” saddened me”．可以推断出作者认为这家美国银行不重视他。
