      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.
