e h e i s s h a v i n g o r h a v i n gbreakfast,the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requiresimmediate attention.The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00p.m.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,he assumes it s a matterof life or death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In sociallife,time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A.guests tend to feel they arenot highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three orfour days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areasof the world,it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advancebecause plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.Thus,misunderstandingsarise between people from different cultures that treat time differently.Promptnessis valued highly in American life,for example.If people are not prompt,they maybe regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the U.S.no one would thinkof keeping a business associate waiting for an hour,it would be too impolite.Aperson who is 5 minutes late,will say a few words of explanation,though perhapshe will not complete the sentence.(260 words)16.What is the main idea of this passage?A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hoursin the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are not prompt,they may be regarded as impolite or not fullyresponsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.17.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or hersleeping hours?A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.18.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointmentwith your friend?A.at 7:00 am.B.at 4:00 pm.C.at the midnight.D.at 4:00 am.19.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitationto a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different culturesabout the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in theU.S.A.D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.20.From the passage we can safely infer that.A.it s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC.i t m a k e s n o d i f f e r e n c e i n t h e U.S.w h e t h e r y o u a r e e a r l y o r l a t e f o r a b u s i n e s sp a r t
