Americans think much about time. From children they learn to value(珍惜)time. As children they are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time flies. When a person is dying, they say he is living on borrowed time.
Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. A working American has to work hard for eight hours a day or forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his spare time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturdays and Sundays he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see that a man walks slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.
They love time because time can bring them money and a lot of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel that they have become servants(仆人)of the clock.
