What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource(资源). Maybe that’s why they like the expression, “Time is money.”

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management. It seems that they all want to organize their time better. People try their best to press more life out of their time.

To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect(尊重) for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late usually calls for an apology(道歉) and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can’t be on time. Of course, the less formal(正式的) the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes late. But they usually don’t try that at work.

American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it. Once the time is fixed, it is almost impossible to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may be different, but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.

Even Americans would agree that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most valuable gifts.

That night, Sue quarreled with her mother, and she ran out of the house. Since she left in a hurry, she didn’t take any money with her.

When she passed a noodle shop, she suddenly felt very hungry. She wished for a bowl of noodles, but she had no money. The owner saw her standing outside and asked her if she would like a bowl of noodle. She nodded but then she said that she didn’t have any money.

“Okay, I’ll treat you.” the owner said. A few minutes later, the owner brought her a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some bites, Sue cried.

“What is it?” the owner asked.

“Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness! Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, but my mother chased me out of the house after a quarrel. She is so cruel!”

“Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you were touched. Your mother had raised you since you were very born, why weren’t you grateful and argued with your mom instead?”

Sue was really surprised after hearing that.

On the way home, Sue thought it over about what to say to her mother. She stopped in front of the door and saw her mother worried and tried after looking for her everywhere. When she saw Sue come back home, she was overjoyed and said eagerly(激动的), “Sue, come inside, honey. Are you hungry? I cooked rice and prepared the meal. Come in and eat while it is still hot.” Sue couldn’t control herself any longer. She cried and hugged her mother.

In our life, it’s easy for us to appreciate the small actions of strangers, but for the relatives, especially our parents, we see their sacrifices(牺牲)as a matter of course. Parental love is the most precious gift we have been given since birth.
