People in the U.S. often (31) seminars or read books on time management. It seems they all want to (32) their time bet-
26、ter. Professionals carry around pocket planners-some in electronic form-to keep (33) of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to (34) more life out of their time. The early American hero Benjamin Franklin expressed this (35) best: Do you love life? Then do not waste time, for that is th
27、e (36) life is made of.To Americans, punctuality is a (37) of showing respect for other peoples time.

30、nment. As a result, they find it easier to go with the flow than Americans, who like plans (47) and unchange- able.Even Americans would (48) that no one can master time. Time, like money, (49) all too easily through our fingers. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. (50) , time is one
