A
Time talks. It speaks more plainly 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 importance of an announcement（通知） 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. If you telephone him early in the day， while he is shaving or having breakfast， the time of the call shows that the matter is very urgent（紧急的） and needs immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11：00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours， he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus， misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States， people often think of time as something fixed in nature， something from which one cannot escape. As a rule， Americans think of time as a road into the future， along which one progresses. The road has many sections（部分）， which are to be kept separate…“One thing at a time”。 Thus， an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.
Americans look ahead and are concerned almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited， however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving （包括） many centuries.
Since time has much different meanings in different cultures， communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.

A. he is to deal with many things at one appointed time

When Lew Alcindor was 13， and clearly still growing， a group of schools began offering him scholarships （奖学金） . The Alcindors decided to send their only child to Power Memorial Academy， a small school on Manhattan‘s West Side.
At Power， Alcindor came under the control of Coach Jack Donohue， a strict young man who already gained his fame as one of the best coaches （教练） in the city. Donohue brought Alcindor along slowly. As a first-year student， the boy was not able to do much but wave his long skinny arms and shoot a basket now and then. But by the second year， when he was 15 years old and nearly 7 feet tall， Alcindor was quick and skillful enough to make the high school All-American team and to lead Power to an undefeated （不败的） season.
From then on he simply got better. Some rival coaches （对方教练）used to take their teams quickly away from the floor before Power warmed up so that their players would not see him any sooner than they had to. Wearing size 16D shoes and sucking a lollipop （棒棒糖）， Alcindor would loosen up by starting his leaping lay-ups （擦板球）。 Then he would casually shoot the ball with either hand， to the delight of the fans.
