VIII Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning If you telephone him 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 The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's 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 dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party dat e 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 tend to be forgotten The meaning of time differs in differ ent parts of the world Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently- Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite A person who is minute s late is expected to make a short apology If he is less than minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence
