单选题 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 else. 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 Saturday and Sunday 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 money and a lot of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because riley feel they have become servants (仆人) of the clock.
