問題詳情：

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or    41    or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control    42   , like the weather? Is time the same all over the world? That's an easy question, you say.    43    you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is    44    that. Americans see time as a valuable    45   . Maybe that's why they are    46    of the expression, "Time is money."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing    47    for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually    48    an apology, and maybe an explanation. People    49    are running late often call ahead to let others know of the   50    . Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly    51   . At informal get-togethers,    52   , people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the   53    time. But they usually don't try that at work.

American lifestyles show    54    people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often    55    the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost a(n)    56    to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually    57    first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just    58    unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they  59   be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think   60    about calling after 10:00 p.m.
