shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11 00 pm If someone receives a call during sleeping hours he assumes it s a matter of life or death The time chosen for the call communicates its importance In social life time plays a very important part In the U S A guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended 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 differs in different parts of the world Thus misunderstandings arise between people from different 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 or not fully responsible In the U S no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour it would be too impolite A person who is 5 minutes late will say a few words of explanation though perhaps he will not complete the sentence 1 What is the main idea of this passage A It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U S B The role of time in social life
