Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time  1     in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a  2     meaning to the event. It is not a  3     to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day,  4     he is probably shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that something is urgent and  5     immediate attention.

The same meaning is  6     telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a  7     of life or death. The time chosen for the call  8     its importance.

In social life, time plays a very  9     part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the  10     to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not  11     in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far  12     because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be  13    .

The meaning of time  14    from place to place in the world.  15     , misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that  16     time differently. For example, promptness (及时) is  17    greatly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as  18     or not fully responsible. In the US, no one would think of keeping a business associate  19     for an hour; it would be too rude. A person who is five minutes late is 20     to make a short apology.
