American society is on the go. There are two elements in life that Americans do regard much: ― 31 and labor. Americans are " 32 to nothing but the clock ", it has been said. Time is 33 as if it were the most valuable thing. In American language, there are words 34 with time. Such as: time can be budgeted, saved, wasted, stolen, killed, and cut. Americans also 35 for time, as " the time is the money ". So time is really 36 to them. Many people have a rather acute (敏锐的) sense of the 37 of their lifetime. Their belief is that once " the sands have run out of a person's hourglass ", they can not be replaced. Americans want every minute to 38 . Since people value time highly, they dislike someone else " 39 " it beyond a certain acceptable limit. This affects the matter of patience. In the American system of 40 , patience is not a high quality. Many of them have what 41 be called " a short fuse ". They begin to move 42 restlessly if they feel time is slipping away 43 any return. Most Americans live in period of time by engagement calendars, which might be 44 periods as short as fifteen minutes. While in the business world, Americans are not likely to receive their visitors in homelike 45 over long but small talk; let 46 take them out for dinner. Once they are in business, 47 to most of them is not so important. They'd like to seek out assurance of past actual performance 48 evaluate a business partner through present 49 contact. Thus, they start dealing with business very quickly as they 50 have other appointments following hard on the heels. Time is therefore keeping ticking in their inner ear.
