Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time 9 in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a 10 meaning to the event. It is not a 11 to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, 12 he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that something is urgent and 13 immediate at?tention.

The same meaning is 14 telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a 15 of life and death. The time chosen for the call 16 its importance.

In other areas of the world, it may be considered fool?ish to make an appointment too far 20 because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be 21 .

The meaning of time 22 from place to place in the world.  23 , misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that 24 time differently. For ex?ample, promptness(准时)is 25 greatly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as 26 or not fully responsible. In the US, no one would think of keep?ing a business partner 27 for an hour; it would be too rude. A person who is five minutes late is 28 to make a short apology.
