In Turkey, when you are invited to a friend’s house, you are supposed to bring a small gift of some sort like flowers and candy. But if you bring flowers, you are supposed to bring an uneven number, say seven or nine flowers. Never bring an even number like six or eight.
At your friend’s house, you will not be given anything to eat or drink during the first fifteen or twenty minutes. In Turkey, you aren’t supposed to give snacks when people first arrive because it might look like you wanted them to eat and drink and then leave right away.
When you leave, you are supposed to say goodbye several times. The first time may be before you put your coat on. The second time you might be outside the door. Sometimes people will even walk a little way outside the house and then say goodbye again.

arrives right at 10 o'clock. In the next five minutes a few others hurry in. But Raul, the visitor from Brazil,
walks in at 10:30. He doesn't even think he's late. How different the understanding of time is around the world! Germans like arriving early. Americans plan to arrive just on time. Brazilians think it OK to be half an hour late.
In 1884, a clock in Greenwich, England, set the standard (标准的) time around the world, which is known
as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). But it couldn't standardize (使标准化) when people will arrive for a 10 a.m. meeting.
As people have different understanding of time, all cultures (文化) can be put into one of the two groups:
time-oriented (导向的) and event-oriented. Time goes first in time-orient cultures. In event-orient culture,
what happens is more important than when. Such knowledge is important for today's world travelers.
Not understanding these different ideas about time can sometimes bring trouble. For example, American
students often quickly exchange "how are you?" and "fine" as they rush to make class on time. But event-orient
students see this exchange as impolite. Before they can say anything more than "fine", the American student
has already hurried past them.
What can the world traveler do to avoid (避免) such time-related trouble? Follow the age-old rule: When
in Rome, do as the Romans do.
B. Right at 8:30 a.m.
C. Around 9:00 a.m.
D. After 9:00 a.m.
B. People don't really mind whether they are late.
C. People often hurry past you with short greetings.
D. Everything usually takes place at the planned time.
B. You should do what the Romans tell you to if you are in Rome.
C. You should know the time-idea of the local people and do as they do.
D. You should do everything as the local people do when you are in a new place.
B. It's quite usual for a time-oriented person to be late.
C. Different understandings of time never bring any trouble.
D. An event-oriented person may feel uncomfortable in the USA.
B. How to Avoid Time-related Trouble
C. Different Cultures, Different Understandings of Time
D. Time-oriented Culture
