If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that its a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently； being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology. It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. 60. A call at midnight would mean . A. the matter is less important B. the matter is too difficult to handle C. the matter requires immediate attention D. it is a matter of life and death 61. According to the passage, time plays a very important part in . A. everyday life B. private life C. getting along with others D. business 62. In the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent . A. three or four days before the party date in all cultures B. three or four days before the party date in some cultures C. three or four days before the party date in the USA D. at your chosen time C A friends grandfather went to America from Eastern countries. After he was processed（移民入境检查） at Ellis Island , he went into cafeteria（自助餐厅） in lower Manhattan to get something to eat . He sat down at an empty table and waited for a waiter to take his order.

When she saw the old man without any food, she told him how a cafeteria worked. “Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end theyll tell you how much you have to pay . After you pay for the food , you can bring it here and eat it .” “I soon knew how everything works in America,” the grandfather told a friend. “Life is like a cafeteria here.

To begin with, students have to revise what they have learned in class in order to do their homework. This gives them a chance to see if they have understood everything the teacher has taught them and practice what they have learned. Another advantage is that students have to work on their own when they do their homework and do not depend on teachers or classmates. However, there are also disadvantages. Firstly, homework needs a lot of time and effort, so students have no time for their hobbies and favorite activities. What is more, many students complain that homework is boring because they have to do the same thing again and again.
