A gentleman stopped his car at the door of a flower shop. He planned to order flowers and asked the shopkeeper to deliver them to his mother, who was far away in his hometown.
The gentleman saw a little girl crying on the road before he entered the shop. The gentleman asked her: “Why are you crying?”
“I want to buy a rose for my mother, but I haven’t got enough money,” said the girl.
The gentleman took the girl’s hand and entered the flower shop. He first ordered the bouquet (花束) for his mother and bought a rose for the girl.
When he was walking out of the shop, the gentleman asked the girl if she would like a ride home.
“Will you really drive me home?” she asked.
“Of course,” the gentleman replied.
“Then drive me to my mother. But the place where my mother lives is very far.”
The gentleman drove along the mountain road and finally came to the cemetery (墓地).
The little girl put the flower onto a new grave (墳?zāi)?. In order to send a rose to her mother who had died a month before, she had gone on a very long journey.
The gentleman drove the girl to her home and then returned to the flower shop. He cancelled（取消）the bouquet and bought a big bunch (束) of fresh flowers instead. He drove directly to his mother’s home, a five-hour drive from here. He would send the flowers to his mother in person.

In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning. If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate(立即的) attention. So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests are likely to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them 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 thought silly to make an appointment(約會(huì)) too far ahead because plans which are made for a date more than a week away may be forgotten. The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently; being on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible(責(zé)任). In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is asked to make a shout apology (道歉). If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation(解釋), though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
小題1:A call at midnight would mean_________.
A．the matter is less important
B．the matter is too difficult to handle
C．the matter requires immediate attention
D．it is a matter of life and death
小題2:According to the passage, time plays a very important part in__________.
A．everyday lifeB．personal life
C．getting along with othersD．business
小題3:In the passage, the writer suggests that invitation cards should be sent___________.
A．three or four days before the party date in all cultures
B．three or four days before the party date in some cultures
C．three or four days before the party date in the USA
D．a(chǎn)t your chosen time

British people are famous for drinking tea. But both Sahar and Bobby Green became young millionaires（百萬富翁） when they opened a chain of American-style（美國風(fēng)味的） coffee shops in the U.K.
Having the idea：It started when Sahar took a weekend trip to New York to visit her brother Bobby. One evening , in a Thai restaurant，Sahar told Bobby how much she wished she could buy American-style coffee  in London . Bobby suggested  they start their own coffee shop.

Advice for others: Sahar has now written a best-selling book about their experience, called Anyone Can Do It! She hopes it will help other young people to start their own businesses. She believes success is 1% idea and 99% hard work, but she says, “If you think you have the energy, then get out and follow your dream.”
