　　In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the morning, while he is shaving（刮胡子）or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and needs immediate（立刻的）attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11∶00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he thinks it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call passes on importance（重要性）.

　　In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to dinner party is given only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In the other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment（约会）too early because plans which are made for a date more than a week away are easily forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings（误解）are caused（引起）. Promptness（及时）is of high value（价值）in American life. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete his sentence.
