【题目】 What is timeIs 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 time 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. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a _______ resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to conserve and manage it. People in the U.S. often attend seminars or read books on time_______. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners--some in electronic form--to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to squeeze more time out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this view best: "Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is the stuff life is made of."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing _______for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology and an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time.

American lifestyles show how much people honor the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks_______ If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is suitable. Only very close friends will just "drop by" unannounced. Also, people_______ to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.

Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time--like money--slips all too easily through our fingers. And time--like the weather--is very hard to _______. Nevertheless, time is one of life's most precious gifts. And unwrapping it is half the fun.

【题目】Answer the questions.

I’m not allowed to stay out late

Why do I have to do my homework before I can watch TV

My parents never let me go to parties

Why is it just mum and Dad who make the rules? Life’s just not fair

Do these compalints sound familiar” well, if you think your life is hard, you might like to think about kids in ancient times. For some of them, life was quite hard.

In ancient Greece, only the boys are allowed to go to school. Greek girls stay at home, where their mother taught them sklls like cooking and weaving--things that would help them find a husband.

At the age of seven, some boys were sent to very strick military school, where they were taught become soliders. Nearly everything in their educational system was about war and battle. Life was pretty hard at there schools. For example, the kids were often hungry. The teachers didn’t let them have much food. But if they got caight, they were punished(惩罚)。

A ztec children in central America also had a difficult life in ancient times. If they broke rules, they could expect some pretty curl punishment.

On the goof side, Aztecs believed in the importace of schooling. In the home, children learn practical skills: dads taught their sons how to fish and farm while mothers taught their daughters home-making skills. Girls and boys also wnet to school(although the adults didn’t let them go to the same schools)

Kids went to schools called telpochcalli. They had lessons about history, religion and music. The boys had lessons to learn how to fight. If the children were from more important family, they went to a calmecac where they learned how to read and write, too.

At both schools childen had to be on their best behaviour. They knew all about the punishment for behaving badly, and life was hard enough anyway.

1The complaints aren’t mainly about rules, are they?

2Why did Greek girls learn skills like cooking and weaving?

3What did the Greek boys at military school probably do to survive for themselves?

4Who were calmecac school for?

5What did the boys in telpochalli learn?

6Who do you think have a harder life, children in the past or today? Give your reaons.
