22、nment because it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he has; whether he supports any relations, how much interest he receives, how much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax
23、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 work, with a pencil and paper, he found that he had not. He thought that he owed the government something.He was just w
24、riting another check to send it to the tax collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door.

28、t callers should be careful about when to make a phone call or it will cause embarrassments.It is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning in the USA. If someone is called very early in the morning, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call indicates great imp
29、ortance 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 receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes its an urgency of life or death. The time chosen for the call municates its
30、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 believe that they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the par
31、ty date. But it is not always necessarily true of the case all over the world. In some other countries, it may be taken stupid to make an appointment too far in advance because plans made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The concept of time varies in different regions of the wo
32、rld. Thus, misunderstandings are sometimes inevitable between men of different cultural backgrounds that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in America, for example. A lack of promptness is regarded as being impolite or not being fully responsible. In the US it would be incredible to
33、 keep a business partner or a guest waiting for an hour, and it would be too impolite and unacceptable by their social etiquettes. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to give some words of explanation to the people waiting, though he might not plete his sentence.16. What is the main idea of t
34、his passage?A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning or in sleeping hours in the US.B. The role of time in social life over the world.C. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the US.D. Not every country treats the concept of time as
35、the same.17. What does it mean according to the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A. A matter of work.B. A matter of life or death.C. You want to see him or her.D. You want to make an appointment with him or her.18. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make
36、 an appointment with your friend?A. At 7:00 a.m.B. At 4:00 p.m.C. At the midnight.D. At 4:00 a.m.19. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. In the USA guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is expended only three or four days b
37、efore the party date.B. There id no misunderstanding between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the USA.D. Being on time is highly valued in America.20. From the passage we can infer that _.A. its a matte
38、r of life or death if you call someone in daytimeB. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC. it makes no difference in the US whether you are early or late for a business partyD. if a person is late for a date, he neednt make any explanationIV. plete the sentences with the words
