24、he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was an artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of wo

25、rk, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not.

If someon

30、e is called very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call indicates great importance of the matter which requires immediate attention of the person called.The same implication is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. at night. If someone receive

31、s a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it s an urgency of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. Time plays a very important role in our social life as you can imagine. In the USA an invitation should be sent to the guests in advance because guests usually belie

32、ve that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.
