2 . Time talks. It speaks more honestly than words. Time communicates in many ways.
Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the highest degree of importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning or after 11 p.m. The call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. Especially a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only one or two days before the party date. It may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. Americans look ahead and are concerned with the future. However, the American idea of future is limited and foreseeable.
Being punctual is also valued highly in American life. People who can not keep on time may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence. To an American, being half an hour late is the beginning of the “insult period”. No matter what is said in apology, there is little that can remove the damage done by 30-minute wait
Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is sometimes difficult We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

4 . I was recently surfing the Internet when I came across a collection of strange beach photos where everyone had a cloth wall surrounding their little patch of sand. I had never seen anything like it before, and I was intrigued. So I started Googling all sorts of phrases that might throw light on the mystery of Polish beach separators.
I found a site on Poland’s affairs that actually covered this “phenomenon（现象）” quite exactly. According to the site, beach separators have been a part of Polish beach-going culture for a long time, but have recently been getting a lot of attention online, after foreign tourists started posting photos on social networks.
Beach separators vary in size according to the size of the group. You’ll see tiny ones only surrounding the space around a single beach towel, and giant ones separating a large part of the beach. They weren’t designed to protect their users from prying（窥探）eyes. It’s no secret that strong winds are very common on the shores of the Baltic Sea, so they were originally meant to allow beach-goers to enjoy sunbathing without having their belongings blown away, or sand blown in their faces.
However, in recent years, people have begun criticizing them. During the summer, beach separators are placed so close to each other that a person can hardly pass between them, let alone（更不必说）find a place to put their own beach towels. This creates a problem for foreign tourists unfamiliar with them, who just want a place to lie down on the sand. And thus they can easily create all kinds of conflicts（冲突）due to the lack of space. For example, some people leave the beach for hours but leave their separators in place, to make sure that their space doesn’t get occupied by someone else.
Having visited a fair number of seaside resorts（胜地）across Europe, I admire that I have never seen anything like this before.
