On the way to work or school,people look at their watches.If they think they are going to be late,they hurry.At work,Americans think it is important to arrive at meetings on time.Their lunch breaks are short,lasting only half an hour or an hour.Late in the afternoon,they check their watches often to see how soon they can go home.

　　In the evenings,however,Americans are more relaxed.They try to arrive on time,but they don’t worry if they are a few minutes late to meet friends in a restaurant.Also,people who arrive a few minutes late to a movie are usually in time to see the main feature film.If a party at a friend’s house starts at 8:00,some people come an hour later,but nobody minds.

　　Americans are used to living by clocks and watches.It is hard for them to understand that people in many parts of the world don’t think that time is so important.
