In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is taking a shower .or having breakfast, the time of the call shows the matter is very important and requires attention at once. If someone receives a call after 11: 00 p. m., he thinks it is 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 will feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is 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 considered foolish to make an appointment too early because plans that are made for a date more than a week away will be forgotten. The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Therefore, misunderstandings appear between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Being on time is thought of highly in American life.(A) If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite. In the USA, keeping business companies waiting for an hour is too impolite. (B) A person is expected to say sorry when he is 5 minutes late. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

Astronauts have already visited the moon and lived on space stations. They' ve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. The astronauts will spend about six months traveling to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months traveling back to the earth. They' ll be away from the earth for about three years, so they' 11 need a lot of food !

It' s very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120,000 dollars to carry something that weighs one kilogram. So an apple on Mars could cost 20,000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take quite a lot of food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can not stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.     

At the moment, astronauts on space stations eat dried food. It's very light, so it doesn't cost a lot of money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like lettuce, spinach and carrots.

Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They' ll use these machines to change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese because it won' t be possible to keep animals in space.
