In the United States, it is not usual to telephone .someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early ill 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. S,,o il is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 l)m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In racial life, time plays a very important part. Ill 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 parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings begin to exist between people from 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 short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
63. A call at midnight would mean
A. the matter is less important
B. the matter is least important
C. the matter requires immediate attention
D. it is a matter of life and death
64. According to the passage, time carries meanings in all parts of the world.

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
